    Cinnamon roll latte
    Brittany M.

    This reason I really enjoy their cinnamon roll latte so I've been trying to get it when I can. I stopped into this Kennedy location and it wasn't too busy on this afternoon. I had a coupon from a few weeks back that I wanted to use so I got the Cinnamon roll latte iced. My drink was ready in minutes and it was just like I expected and I really like the foam they add on top. If you've never tried Buddy Brew beans at home, I highly recommend. I use the Cubano espresso beans in my Breville and it's a great brew.

    Delicious coffee and great doggy vibes! Had a wonderful warm Mexican hot chocolate cookie which didn't make it to the pics because I inhaled it!

    Park Tower location
    Cheyenne A.

    I had Buddy Brew Coffee back in October and I finally got around to reviewing them. I tried the Armature Works location and the Park Tower location and both were delicious despite the difference in menu items. The Park Tower location was a very delicious modern breakfast cafe. While the Armature Works location was mostly just teas and lemonades. Service was great at both locations and if I ever go back to Tampa I know I'd visit again!

    Americano and chocolate chip cookie

    Its dog themed. Funny enough they sell stickers that look almost the same as my stickers for an entirely different business. But they have dog stuff here point being. I am very cool with that. This location is bigger and less crowded than Hyde Park Village. The iced coffee and chocolate chip cookie were both awesome but the dog stuff is mostly the point.

    Every latte I've had here hits just right. There is a clean, stylish aesthetic and a pleasant place to linger or grab coffee on the go. Their menu has a lot of different options and has more than just coffee. The vibe is relaxed but super cute-- local community meets modern design. During peak hours, the line can stretch a bit, but minor issue in the face of the overall experience.

    Tuscan toast and ginger iced latte
    Mary F.

    Busy cafe, working atmosphere and meet ups. If you like that vive. Came in to do some work and tried their Tuscan toast so gooooood! I want to create something like it! And seasonal ginger latte I could taste it. It didn't take me that long to decide to go here...first time happy camper. Service was cool and seamless. Parking is a little challenging.

    These drinks are super refreshing on a hot day. Definitely coming back! I really enjoy the vibe at Amature Works as well.

    Iced Matcha Latte
    Alexia M.

    The service was pretty quick, but when I sipped my matcha, there were clumps at the bottom that I kept drinking up. While I was still waiting for my sandwich, I wished the barista had taken more time to properly whisk the matcha. The breakfast sandwich, however, was really delicious. It reminded me of the egg white pepper bites from Starbucks, with great flavor and lots of cheese.

    The barista who made our drinks was very sweet! Im so glad this coffee shop offers smoothies on top of their extensive coffee menu. Both were perfect and there is a big open space with lots of seating here :)

    Had their seasonal latte banana split iced. Very good not to sweet. Friendly staff and very fast. Great place to work/study, it wasn't too loud.

I honestly went back and forth on whether I needed to update this review, because there's a lot to love about this place. The quality of the food and coffee is consistently great, and the space itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed. That said, I still can't give it 5 stars due to service gaps. There isn't a designated person clearing or wiping tables, so when you're lucky enough to get one, you have to track down someone behind the counter ~ usually in the middle of cashiering or making drinks ~ to ask for it to be cleaned. Also, every single time food is brought out, utensils are never included. I truly like this place and it remains one of my regular spots for breakfast or brunch, and I'll continue coming back. I just hope the owners read these reviews and take this feedback to heart, because with small service improvements, this place could easily be a 5-star experience.

They do not have matcha. 3. They do not have food. These days coffee makes my body feel weirddddd so I was a bit staggered when I walked in and realized those 3 things since I was here with a bike group and I really needed some food. I considered having coffee anyway but without food and being on a 15+ mile bike ride, I wasn't trying to have a medical episode so I decided to try their chai tea latte. It was truly delicious!! It got me home and able to eat so thank god for that! Some of the rest of my party got the herbal tea and the way it was served was super cool. It had me intrigued. But if you like coffee, everyone said it was delicious. The fact that they have a latte on draft is pretty amazing as well. I loved the location because it's kind of ducked off in the corner which is why I had never been there before. But above all else, the amount of pups here were enough to make me return time and time again. I met the cutest greyhounds which are my fav so my soul was happy.
