Buddy Brew Coffee opened inside the Riverview Sprouts Farmers Market on September 23, bringing its full cafe menu to 12960 S. U.S. 301.<\/p>\n

The new location is the sixth of 10 Buddy Brew cafes planned inside Sprouts stores across the region. Buddy Brew President and co-founder Susan Ward said Sprouts approached the company and selected it as its coffee partner for Florida.<\/p>\n

She pointed to Sprouts\u2019 culture, commitment to quality and hospitality as reasons the partnership works well for Buddy Brew. Buddy Brew also helped shape the cafe\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe partnered with them on the build-out. They were wonderful in allowing us to really have a big say in design so that it looks like a Buddy Brew,\u201d Ward said.<\/p>\n

The cafe serves espresso drinks, brewed coffee, cold brews, matcha, smoothies, breakfast and lunch items, pastries and seasonal specialty drinks.<\/p>\n

Sprouts store manager Matt Rainey said shoppers had been asking for another coffee option.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it gives the people of Riverview a different option on local coffee, and it\u2019s going to bring more foot traffic to our location. Customers have been asking and asking, and they\u2019re super excited about it,\u201d Rainey said.<\/p>\n

He said customers welcome an alternative to Dunkin\u2019 and Starbucks.<\/p>\n
