Instead of my making my coffee the 1 lady working made a coffee for a worker at armature works (who cut in front and was non paying) while the only other employee was flirting with the worker about how he didn’t get a Christmas stocking at their store. Price is never the same even though I order the same thing. Do better

First time, and I am hooked! I got in line behind maybe 6 people and then 3 minutes or less, I place my order. That's phenomenal timing. Cashier was so nice, great energy (and hair🙌)crew behind quiet/happy/hard working. I order their cold brew float, it's been on my mind since I saw it on their online menu. Cold brew, vanilla bean gelato and caramel. WHAT? I added vanilla and extra caramel. When I tell you this is perfect, I mean🤌
Every sip is better than the last! I am def coming back for this.

It took them 20 minutes to make our coffees when it was not busy at all and only one Person working while three other staff members just standing there. I expected more from this place with all the reviews but unfortunately they didn’t came upto the mark. Sorry but the staff needs to be more efficient.

The coffee is amazing if you want a quality roast and are not coming for all the flavoring to hide the magic of the bean.

It gets good stars for friendliness and prompt service. The Armature building that the coffee shop resides in is really nice with lots of comfortable seating. But Buddy's coffee was meh. I like mocha coffee, and I dislike it when it is too sweet. Ordered two mochas, and I could barely detect any chocolate at all, so opposite of too sweet. Also, the temp was barely above room temp. So $14 plus tip for two meh mocha coffees.

Buddy Brew Coffee is a hit or a miss sometimes. We have been here a couple of times when we’ve visited the Armature Works, and it seems the specialty coffee drinks are actually not as good as the simpler ones. We have been to an absurd amount of coffee shops all over Florida, the rest of the US and around the world, and we have had lots of great coffee. The coffee itself at Buddy Brew is good - nice and strong and would be great if you’re looking for a cold brew, latte or espresso. However, I would avoid the more complex drinks because they just aren’t very impressive. I was pretty surprised at the cold brew cream soda - this could be so good if they made it a little differently. Espresso tonics are excellent in Europe and they could potentially get some ideas from cafés over there. All in all, I would still come to this place, but I would stick with a regular cold brew or an iced latte!

"Twicia:3" was a very good barista and a friendly person. As an old man who isn't very knowledgeable about coffee, they were very helpful, gave good recommendations, and smiled the whole time. They really brightened up this old man's day!

The area was so cool, the menu was interesting, and the service was quite nice. Tricia was very fun and energetic and was quite helpful with suggestions for my order. The coffee was also very yummy. Would go again!
