Buddy Brew, the Tampa-based coffee roaster and chain, will soon be at the disposal of sleep-deprived college students at USF’s Tampa campus.

The chain’s newest location is set to open in the new Judy Genshaft Honors College, an 85,000 square-foot facility dedicated to the university’s longest-serving  president, Judy Genshaft, set to open in spring of 2023.

According to Tampa Bay Business Journal, the cafe will be located on the first floor of the five-story building.

Buddy Brewโ€”an ode to owners Dave and Susan Ward’s dog, Buddyโ€”first began as online coffee retailers until opening their first store in Tampa.

Today, the chain has 10 operating outpostsโ€”including locations in Sarasota, Tampa International Airport and well-known food hall, Armature worksโ€”with more slated to open.
