Buddy Brew Coffee brings BOLT cold brew to California through Erewhon deal

Buddy Brew Coffee, the Tampa-based specialty coffee roaster, is heading to Hollywood. The company’s signature canned cold brew, BOLT, is now available at all Erewhon Market locations across California.

The move marks a significant milestone for the growing Florida brand as it breaks into the West Coast market with a product it describes as “pure, organic energy in a can.”

“We’re thrilled to partner with Erewhon to bring BOLT to a community that appreciates exceptional, clean products,” said Susan Ward, co-founder and president of Buddy Brew Coffee. “BOLT isn’t just coffee, it’s an experience.”

Erewhon is known for curating high-quality, organic and ethically sourced food and beverage products, making it an ideal match for Buddy Brew’s values. BOLT is marketed as a clean, powerful energy drink made with hand-roasted, specialty-grade coffee and water.

BOLT is available nationwide at Sprouts and in Whole Foods locations across Florida. Buddy Brew Coffee operates eight cafés in Florida.
