Roasting Buddies is a South Florida coffee roasting company founded in January 2016 in Pembroke Pines, Florida, with their online store launching shortly after in February 2016. The company was created by friends with a mission to provide fresh coffee made by friends, for friends, and a vision to change the way people enjoy coffee.
As South Florida's premier small-batch coffee roasters, Roasting Buddies sources beans from the world's best farmers, offering single-origin coffees from Brazil, Colombia (including organic varieties), Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Peru. Their coffee offerings range from $16.50 to $19.50 for 12-ounce bags of whole coffee beans, reflecting their commitment to quality sourcing and careful roasting.
The company operates as more than just a business - it serves as a community gathering place where friends can enjoy exceptional coffee. Their long-term objective is ambitious: to be universally recognized as the world's best place to enjoy the world's best coffee. This vision is supported by their core values of integrity, respect, trust, and environmental responsibility.
Beyond their roasting operations, Roasting Buddies runs a full-service café and brunch restaurant, offering an extensive menu that includes specialty coffee drinks, breakfast items, sandwiches, empanadas, and various slow-bar coffee preparation methods including French Press, V60, AeroPress, and Chemex. Their coffee menu features traditional espresso-based drinks, cold brew options, specialty frappes, and unique creations like the "Buddieccino" (espresso with peanut butter and cocoa) and "Nutella Volcano."
The company emphasizes the friendship aspect of their business model, positioning themselves as a place where the community can gather to enjoy high-quality, freshly roasted coffee in a welcoming environment. Their approach combines artisanal coffee roasting with a comprehensive food service operation, making them a destination for both coffee enthusiasts and casual diners seeking quality brunch options.
