Buddy Brew Coffee (Kennedy)
Buddy Brew is Tampa's own specialty roaster and the Kennedy Boulevard cafe is its flagship. The Labrador retriever in the logo was a real dog called Buddy, who the company says kept watch over the small Diedrich roaster it used in its early days. It sums its position up as coffee that is not about edginess or snobbiness. There are now eight cafes across Tampa Bay, two more of them in this sector: Hyde Park Village on Snow Avenue and one on Bay to Bay Boulevard.
