TAMPA, FL — Buddy Brew Coffee is partnering with Sprouts Farmers Market to open in-store cafes at 10 stores throughout the Tampa Bay area.
The new cafes will open across four counties in the region — Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Sarasota — later this year, according to a news release.
This expansion will introduce Buddy Brew cafes to Pinellas and Pasco counties for the first time and will more than double the total number of the specialty coffee company’s cafe locations.
The company currently has nine locations, including a mobile coffee truck and a cafe at Tampa International Airport’s Terminal F.
“This partnership represents a meaningful evolution for Buddy Brew,” Dave Ward, CEO and co-founder of Buddy Brew, said. “We respect the culture Sprouts has built and the way their teams connect with the people they serve. Working with Sprouts allows us to thoughtfully expand our footprint, reach new communities, and grow alongside a retailer that shares our commitment to quality and care.”
Each in-store cafe will feature Buddy Brew’s menu of handcrafted espresso drinks, cold brew, specialty beverages, and food offerings.
Buddy Brew sources specialty coffee beans from some of the world’s best coffee farmers and roasts them locally at its Tampa roastery.
