About

Buddy Brew is Tampa Bay’s quintessential coffee roaster. Founded in 2011, we are a family-owned specialty coffee brand with eight popular cafés, including our location in the heart of charming downtown Sarasota. Our mission, “Brew Good, Do Good,” means we always source top specialty grade coffees equitably and sustainably through direct relationships with farmers. We meticulously small-batch roast to bring out the unique tasting notes in every bean. Our baristas use state-of-the-art equipment to brew your drip coffee and handcraft your espresso drinks with loving care. Try our signature avocado toast on sourdough topped with poached eggs and chili oil. We offer fresh pastries, vegan doughnuts, sandwiches, herbal teas and craft beer.

Rise Up Cafe Coffee shop
Magical coffee shops! We're thrilled to announce that Rise Up Cafe has been chosen to operate a location at the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ). This is HUGE for our team of dedicated employees — to be seen and interact with 12,000-plus people everyday, reaching far beyond the limits of our current shop — what an impact on the lives of the people we serve and our customers alike. With that, we’ve closed our downtown Sarasota cafe to concentrate on the expanded opportunity at SRQ Airport along with a continued focus on job and social skills training for hundreds of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We thank you all for your support in the first stages of our development, and now it’s time to FLY!
