    Latte by JP
    Jonathan M.

    This location has become my second home. Always great people, baristas are spectacular and the Village has such a good vibe. Latte/iced cappuccino & the BLT are good and my go-to's here. Food & Coffee Score 7/10. 10/10 would be if they offered better tea selection and actually had temp control over their tea brewing + if they had an acai bowl or warm oats for breaky, the avocado toast is good but overpriced imho. Vibe Score 10/10 at least for me, partially because of the village itself.

    First time trying this Buddy Brew location and I decided to get their new Banana Split Iced Latte. I stopped by on a weekday around 10 am and it was very busy. Only one person taking orders and one person making them so it took around 15 minutes to receive my drink. The drink itself was not my favorite - the banana cold foam tasted very artificial and the coffee tasted watered down. There is not much seating inside and everything felt crammed. I didn't really have a great experience at this location so I don't see myself returning. I would recommend doing a mobile order if you decide to stop by to avoid waiting long.

    Coffee

    Absolutely loved Buddy Brew! We ordered two coffees. I typically like iced coffee that's on the sweeter side and tend to ask baristas what they recommend for me at different coffee shops I visit and go from there. I did this at Buddy Brew and he recommend some sort of shaken expresso with cold foam and it was incredible! Not only was the service great but it was SO quick. Barely took 3 minutes and coffee were ready. The ambiance was also so cute. Their menu is straightforward and though we were just picking up, it seems like a good spot to get work done too. I will say, It was very busy - there were no tables available. Seems to be a popular spot, but they live up to the hype! Highly recommend and if I'm in the area, will be returning.

    Stopped by Buddy Brew while I had some work to do for a couple of hours between meetings and dinner at Meat Market! It was lovely. The baristas were so friendly. I love the location, perfectly nestled in Hyde Park. There is sparse seating inside and outside, but if you find a good spot, you'll be set. There were outlets to plug in my laptop. I tried the earth day matcha which was delightful! I typically prefer sweeter matcha lattes but this was a great shakeup.

    Drinks from Buddy Brew Coffee

    As a non-coffee drinker, it can sometimes be hard to find a drink at a local coffee shop that is fun, caffeinated, and-most importantly-tasty. While I enjoy simple drinks like iced green teas or iced black tea lemonades, I was pleasantly surprised to find a unique drink option at Buddy Brew. I ordered the Samantha's skyway sunset, which is a yummy combination of lemonade, raspberry, sparkling water, and butterfly pea flower tea. I loved that this drink had some carbonation, while still tasting sweet. The drink itself is so pretty, as it is two different colors. I do recommend stirring the drink to ensure all the flavors are mixed together since the top is mostly sparkling water (but, don't worry the drink is still a dazzling color!) This drink paired great with taking a walk on Bayshore.

    cappuccino and Earth Day Matcha Latte with whole milk and sugar free vanilla sweetener
    Anna P.

    Delicious craft drinks to walk Hyde park and bayshore with. The specialty Earth Day drink was not only beautiful, it was very tasty with a strong matcha flavor and a slight sweetness. For my tastes, I like to taste the match and have a sweet-leaning drink. The drink was wonderful for me. Buddy Brew is also consistent with their coffee cups.

    Iced vanilla latte, terrible unfortunately.

    I was excited to try this place, it seemed really cute, the line was out the door.. got an iced vanilla latte it was NOT drinkable. Had a burnt tasted and watery.. I was beyond disappointed. I wished I would've gone back for a refund.

    On a beautiful sunny Sunday morning we were in the mood for a coffee and some breakfast bites. The place was packed but everything ran smoothly placing and getting orders. We had a coffee and a breakfast sandwich. Though it was packed we found open seats right away. The coffee was just right, the food was fresh, hot, and delicious. We were even greeted by a friendly pup saying hi in the dog friendly environment. It was my first time there. Great experience.

    Cardamom Crush -  Espresso Tonic
    Jordan C.

    Cool space. Quick service. Was not impressed by the drink. First visit so I should try their regular coffee drinks and why three stars instead of two. I also got it to go and should have tasted before I had gotten in the car and driven off. The drink sounded refreshing and I have had something similar at other shops but this was almost undrinkable. The cardamom flavor was non-existent and the tonic was way bitter and the espresso over extracted / bitter. The tonic should help balance out the acidity in the coffee but it was just a bitter bomb. Lots of people seem to enjoy this place so weigh my bad experience with a grain of salt. If there is a next time for me I will avoid anything that says "special"

    Iced latte and breakfast sandwich

    One of my favorite places to grab a latte in Tampa Bay! I have fond memories of going to the Buddy brew in downtown tampa while I was an intern. They make their own syrups, my favorites are lavender and pumpkin spice. I wish their food options were more tasty, but I'm giving it 5 stars since it never disappoints on its main item, the coffee!

Parking (during the weekday) with Parkmobile was free for the first hour - but be sure to use the app. The staff was super kind. They had christmas vibes already (in november) and I was mad it. Santa seats. Festive Kahwa shirts and coffee bean bags. The they ornaments hanging from the ceiling and snow on the windows! They have a kiosk ordering system or you can order with barista. They were pretty quick. My dad got the Black forest cold brew and I got the cookie butter chai Not a fan of chocolate so didn't try the cold brew but it was cold brew w cherry flavoring and a chocolate cold foam. My cookie butter chai was amazing. It was the perfect hot temperature - didn't burn my self but also still warmed me up. They have a cool Ripple machine so she didn't do latte art unfortunately - but the ripple puts images on your lattes and it's so neat and perfect. I didn't see any restrooms but also wasn't looking. There is a lot of seating for dining in. Let down because they didn't have the Matcha White Chocolate Cookie at 830AM

The wife got a cookie and yes it and everything else are made in house according to the clerk. Food to Value Ratio: Great, pricing was fair for the quality products we received!!! Check out the menu on my pics!!! The Ambiance was nice and clean, although some of the chairs could do with replacing as they had large rips on them.
