One day soon, folks as far south as Sarasota will be able to cruise Sprouts on Sunday morning with a dog bedecked iced latte in hand. That’s right, Buddy Brew is opening in-store grocery locations — just like Starbucks has in Target.

The locally-owned coffee brand just announced plans to open 10 cafes inside Sprouts Farmers Markets across the Tampa Bay region this year.

At what stores?

The java joints will be tucked inside stores throughout Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and Sarasota counties. And yes, these will be the first Buddy Brew locations in Pinellas and Pasco.

What’s on the menu?

Don’t worry, it’s more than just drip coffee. Customers will be able to grab made-to-order espresso drinks, cold brew, plus non-coffee beverages, and food. Here’s hoping the chocolate chip cookies are on the menu.
