Buddy Brew Coffee

Buddy Brew Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster and café company based in Tampa, Florida, operating eight café locations across the Tampa Bay area, including sites at Armature Works, Bay to Bay, Hyde Park, USF's Judy Genshaft Honors College, and downtown Sarasota. The brand takes its name and logo from Buddy, a Labrador retriever who kept watch over their early Diedrich roaster. Buddy Brew sources specialty grade coffees from around the world through direct relationships with smallholder farmers and women-owned co-ops, prioritizing equitable pricing. Their 'Brew Good. Do Good.' mission extends to charitable partnerships, including ongoing support for OnBikes—which provides bicycles to at-risk youth—and Trees For Kibira, a reforestation organization operating in Burundi, East Africa. The roaster also creates annual collaboration coffees, such as Joy Ride Roast and Ship Wreck Roast, to raise funds for local Tampa charities. Wholesale partnerships and coffee subscriptions are also available.
