Buddy Brew Coffee
Buddy Brew Coffee - Hyde Park, Tampa Bay, FL
Crema's Take
“Buddy Brew has cultivated a relaxed, modern vibe that makes it feel like an established neighborhood favorite in Tampa, with standout cold brew and creative seasonal drinks that draw people back. The space is dog-friendly and welcoming, though consistency seems to be an occasional issue—some customers rave about bold, smooth cold brew while others report overly milky drinks that miss the mark. If you catch them on a good day, it's worth visiting for their signature creative offerings and espresso-focused menu in a setting that doesn't take itself too seriously.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. Slow-sit spot. Dog friendly.

Woof!! 🐶 Buddy approves of his fav coffee shop! No idea how I missed this last year. Yum 😋 ☕️
My Americano with an extra shot looked as weak as iced tea, and tasted watery. The barista said she put in 3 shots. I bought two more, to bring it to a typical iced americano strength. $15 total. I buy Americanos from many popular and serious cafes in Manhattan where I live,…
Laughably bad. $5.25 for a cold brew that was 50% milk. Could not even taste the coffee. As evidenced by the color on the two coffees pictured, it was as if we were drinking iced milk. Not worth a minute of your time. Overhyped. Much better cup of coffee at the Palihouse bar.
We were first in line to try their autumnal drink lineup! This Tampa coffee staple is one of the firsts to debut their Fall drinks this past week- and they are uniquely crafted with all those beloved Autumn flavor profiles! We tried them all! 𝙎𝙋𝙄𝘾𝙀𝘿 𝙋𝙐𝙈𝙋𝙆𝙄𝙉…
