Buddy Brew an online wholesaler of fresh brewed coffee beans opened their doors to the retail public four months ago and has been a refreshing change from the corporate coffee chains. Located between Howard and Willow @ 2020 w. Kennedy Tampa, fl 33606  Phone # 813-258-BREW.  www.buddybrew.com

 Buddy Brew named after the proprietors dog, serves fresh roasted coffee beans that  are a delight to the palate.

I first met David and Susan Ward early last spring when they came to Blue Moon looking for furniture for their new venture. I admired their leap of faith to leave their corporate positions and follow their passion and had the pleasure of working with them on their furnishings.  Today I had the chance to visit and enjoy an amazing Carmellota, Yum!

I hope you enjoy the tour of the first retail space we’ve featured on our blog. We have been supported by so many local retailers, spas, photographers, ect. that we want to give back by sharing their wonderful spaces with you….  

For those of you who have been following our blog since we started late last year you may remember this work table from a Chicago machine shop that I picked up on a shopping trip. It was in our front window and was first purchased by a photography studio but didn’t fit. David and Susan added wheels and extended the adjustable legs, sanded and polyurethaned the top and a coffee bar was born.

Awesome coffee roaster!

Tall dark and chippy! Yup that is his name! Four years ago my friend and web designer Trudy of Adgals changed the look of her studio and we were the happy recipients of two amazing large cabinets. One sold right away, the other was with us long enough that he was named. Then he finally found a home, his owner moved and he came back to us to happily find another home at Buddy Brew.

This zinc top table also on wheels found its way to the Moon when it’s owners relocated and didn’t have a spot for him, he also found a home at Buddy Brew reinvented as a coffee condiment station.

This wonderful Mural that fills a main wall above the seating area, showcases a familiar Tampa scene of UT and downtown from their Kennedy location.  I didn’t get the story on this, but I’m sure there is one. Make sure to ask when you visit. Love the pic of Buddy in the bottom right corner.

This corner cabinet also purchased at the Moon,  was once used in a Health Food store used to house dry goods, now housing Buddy Brews amazing fresh roasted blends. So amazing in fact the bin is empty. Sold Out and it’s only Noon! 

Of course what would a coffee shop be without a Homer piece, also displaced when it’s owner moved and consigned back to the Moon, lucky table is now also housed at Buddy Brew enjoying the ambience.

A happy customer enjoying his brew!

We thank David, Susan and Buddy for their purchases at the Moon and wish them all the best as they bring to Tampa a wonderful  local coffee shop to relax in and enjoy their own special fresh roasted brews, previously only enjoyed  online!

We’ve had a very busy week at the Moon! All of Homer’s great pieces are gone! We’ve put a new order in so look for pics of the next truck full coming soon!

My apologies we’ve sold all the other new items that I had pics of . Please stop by the store today we are open and have many pieces so recently arrived they have not yet made it to the camera lens.

Happy Sunday!

We have another zinc top table for the offering, this one has a black stained wax that really shows off  the acid-washed finish. Each of our zinc tops is different as ea top takes the acid differently making it a one of a kind!

Last one we featured was clear coated and looked very industrial, this one more rustic chic. Love the variations!    

We usually don’t get a chance to show you the pieces that we custom make as they go straight to the customer.

We had two come into the shop as the customers were on vaca so here they are…. This kitchen island was an adaptation of the one in the shop that has been here tooo long and has been further reduced to $845.00.

They loved it but it was to large so we eliminated the window and did the x-design on both ends.

This is the one still available at the reduced price.

This coffee table was also custom-made for a customer who sent a pic of a coffee table that we then modified to their specs.

A set of twin beds hand painted with great worn patina.  Solid wood including rails. @ $295.00 ea.

Awesome iron bed full size with iron rails. @$395.00 I saw this set up in the room before it made it’s journey to the moon, so cute! She had a very colorful Anthropogie quilt set that picked up the deep blue worn patina color.

 Very bohemian vintage! 

Custom upholstered king-size head-board and bed skirt in neutral white and cream pattern on pattern.

Headboard(excuse the shrink-wrap) @ $395.00 skirt @ $75.00

Matching extremely comfortable custom upholstered chair @ $495.00

For the rooster lover in your life, really cute pair of rooster lamps @ $35.00 ea.
