    This Buddy Brew along Kennedy (not the Oxford Exchange one) is the perfect place to stay for awhile. Study, work, read or enjoy just hanging out with a nice coffee amidst plenty of seating. They have 2 rooms full of spots to sit, and even a cute area they call the "Buddy Brew academy". As always, the cold brew here is king- it's called Buddy Brew for a reason. Other coffees can be decent but are typically made pretty sweet if it's flavored any way. They have some baked goods and sandwiches to order along with coffee and tea. One of the best menus of any Buddy Brew location I've been to. Super cute & cozy. Parking is around back and is the only thing that can be a little rough, as they're located right along a major road and not far from the airport.

    Cinnamon roll latte

    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.

    The service isn't that great and the coffee is ok. Once you've had different regions in one location, you're kinda just not that into bitterness. I love the concept of Buddy Brew and their name. The flavor of their coffee bites back pretty hard. The ambiance is stark and hurry up and wait for a seat. There's never anywhere to sit.

    Buddy Brew's wonderful baristas!

    Love love love this place! We come at least 3 times a week. The cappuccino and chai tea latte are delicious, but the staff is really the secret sauce. They know us, they know our orders, our names, etc. It truly is a neighborhood coffee shop. Check it out!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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 :)

Waiting in line was kinda fun because they have a few things to look at such as their roaster where they make their own beans which is pretty cool. I ended up buying a bag of their beans and it also comes with a free black or americano coffee. Or if you don't want an extra cup you can add an extra shot for free into a drink you bought. Ordered the strawberry matcha and honey shaken espresso. The matcha is super good and it definitely makes my list of matcha places. The coffee was good but since there were three shots, my husband drank it cause it was too strong for me. Also got the breakfast sandwich was was a bit spicy but SO GOOD!! It's got a lot of flavor! They allow cute doggos in the place so it's fun seeing them come in lol Parking is not the best as you either park in the garage or the one directly across from sparkman which is paid so expect to add that in your coffee trip. This place is worth the visit.

I get the same strawberry ice cream stated in my last review because it's so unique and delicious and my fiancé gets the espresso kahlua (which he ate the whole pint in one sitting). I also love the blueberry ice cream, which I think I might add to my pint list next time. The flavors are so unique and you can't get it anywhere else. This ice cream shop is such a hidden gem and it's better than the extremely popular places like dairy joy and chill bros imo. I wish it wasn't as pricey - if there was some discount on buying more pints I would probably be more inclined to get it more often. The other downside is the parking. There's literally no parking anywhere! The 3 spots in front say no parking and I have to bring someone to drive around while I hop out of the car to get the pints
