Buddy Brew Coffee - Park Tower

DON’T COME HERE IF YOU’RE IN A HURRY FOR A COFFEE. This was last Saturday. We ordered a coffee and a toast with avocado, it was not full, I think in total we were not even 6 people there, there were about 3 or 4 people behind the counter, so we assumed it would be quick. The coffee took almost 10 minutes to arrive and without the toast, besides the coffee didn’t taste good. When we saw that almost 5 more minutes had already been waiting for the toast, we decided to leave. We informed her that we were leaving because we were already waiting for almost 15 minutes for a toast and that if they could cancel the order, the cashier with attitude told us to wait that we could continue to wait, we told her that we could not wait any longer and we wanted a refund (almost 15 USD for a coffee and a toast) she told us that she would give us the manager’s number because she could not cancel and refund, all this with attitude. Finally we decided that they would stay with the toast and the money and we left. Go to a Starbucks or even a Dunkin, it will be more delicious, cheaper and faster

This is a cute, modern coffee shop, but it’s overrun with bugs. My cold brew this morning had at least three flies in it. I had ordered food and requested that it be canceled and refunded, which they did promptly. But there was no offer of a refund for the coffee (they did make me a new one that appeared fly-less). Be careful before taking your first sip!!

They are getting two stars because my coffee was amazing as always, BUT THE FOOD was terrible, worst toast I’ve ever had, for the price definitely not recommended. This shouldn’t even be part of a menu, honestly do not get this ever.

The service and staff are super friendly. They actually care about their customers. The Cappuccino is AMAZING. I've been going there since this Summer after coming back to the office in Downtown Tampa, FL.

If you’re a fan of locally owned businesses that appreciate their customers and are happy to share information about their products this is a fantastic place to go. Everything I’ve had from Buddy Brew has been great tasting. As an added bonus my dog is always welcome to come along and they also serve some alcohol for the non coffee/tea drinking guests.
