Been here two times now, so thought I would drop a review. I like trying local coffee places and this one in a strip mall setting is not much from the outside but worth checking out as the inside is very spacious and welcoming. They try hard and make some nice custom espresso drinks hot and cold. I enjoyed my standard hot Americano to go but note that the lids are a little wonky so be careful that they are on snuggly before drinking. They decorate the place at various times of the year and I enjoyed the Harry Potter theming during halloween times. The workers are super friendly. read more

You won't get too much better than Basecamp for your coffee. As an iced americano aficionado, theirs is consistently one of the best in NW Arkansas. It can be absolutely delicious. Whatever they do with their espresso/water ratio is perfect. Baristas are all talented, they always get it right. Now, look, absolutely critical to any coffee shop (or restaurant) is comfortable and available seating. This is something that a vast majority of coffee shops in NWA do not understand. Basecamp does have okay seating, it can get crowded, but there are comfortable options. I like being outside if I can, and their patio furniture could use an upgrade. It's certainly good enough, though. read more

Another great trip to Basecamp. Burritos are huge and stuffed with hashbrowns, egg, cheese, refried beans and sausage. Banana bread is incredible. Blueberry muffins are tasty as well. Great Sunday atmosphere. read more

Awesome coffee and lovely service. Closest thing I've had to an Australian coffee in the States.

This was my first visit here and I really enjoyed it. The staff was nice and patient while I decided. I like that they carry local syrups and chocolates. They had a small selection of pastries but a nice menu of coffee, tea, and seasonal drinks. They also had breakfast bites that all sounded good. I tried a cold brew and ricotta toast with honey, almonds, and fig jam. It was delicious and made within minutes. The coffee shop is spacious with plenty of tables, although most are wood or metal, so not the comfiest. Prices were average but they do have a rewards program and student and a military discount. It was a nice and quiet atomsophere, so great for studying and work. No all day free wifi though. They give you a code with purchase for 2 hrs of wifi. read more

Good coffee. Good espresso. Good Latte. Good atmosphere and location. Convenient Not enough food choices read more

They have an interesting drink selection. Lots of different coffee flavors, limited types of tea, and some smoothies. The baked goods selection was very limited. They offered pumpkin bread and a gluten free version. I think they may be understaffed. I waited 30+ minutes for a pretty simple order and it was not very busy. I think they would benefit from telling customers if they should expect a long wait. The lady taking orders was very kind and the barista was apologetic but I do think they need more staff. The ambience was nice. It's a stylish cafe. read more

The atmosphere is very nice and this place has the potential to be a great coffee shop. The coffee however is another story. I came in to get a cappuccino and received one with burnt milk because of how hot the milk was steamed. There were black air bubbles on top of the drink and I couldn't carry the ceramic mug because of how scalding it was. read more

First time back since Basecamp replaced Mama Carmen's--still cute, still good. Nice coffee shop to have a meeting or meet up with friends and chat. Their apple cider comes with a ginger cookie and it's actually a pretty good combination! read more

Nice sized coffee shop with plenty seating options including a patio out back. My milk + honey latte was a honey, vanilla, and cinnamon combo but not overly sweet which is just the way I like it. Knowledgeable & friendly service here both times we went. read more

My friends and I came here the other week and were rudely told by the owner to quiet down. We got up and left due to her unprofessional approach to the situation. If she had asked us politely this would not have been an issue at all I understand sometimes a conversation can be disruptive, but now it is safe to say I will not be coming back. read more

I have had very unpleasant experiences at Basecamp. After going several times I had rude experiences with employees who were very short and changed their wifi to not be free so I stopped going in for those reasons. I had some friends recently ask to meet there which I did. After meeting them female owner of the shop was very rude and not accepting of the LGBT community. I have no problem with Christian establishments but it is clear that this one is one of exclution and rudeness which is super disheartening. read more

Basecamp is one of my favorite coffee shops in northwest Arkansas. They roast their own coffee and have the most kindhearted staff. It's the perfect place to work or study as there are outlets all over the place! Even at the tables in the middle of the coffee shop, there are power strips you can pull down from pulleys hanging from the ceiling so that you never have to worry about laptop or phone batteries dying. The coffee is excellent and they have tasty bites and pastries if you need something small to tide you over between meals! read more

don't get me wrong. The coffee and food is absolutely phenomenal at this establishment, but the service is terrible. Every time I have gone in here, which has been a couple of months now, the employees have been rude and not welcoming. I have put this aside for the last couple of months because I enjoyed studying at this location, but I am so fed up with going in there and getting awful service. Sadly think today was my last time coming into Basecamp. read more

We had the opportunity to hear about the history of this location from the owner during the 2022 NWA Caffeine Crawl! We are so happy we chose this route because we were introduced to new places. This was a highlight for us and we are returning today to try more! The coffee was so awesome that we purchased some to make at home. The place has a very comfortable chill vibe. It was packed at 12:30! read more

Really good coffee. Very close to their competition here in NWA but a step up from what we get in Chicago. Their coffee is superb. The cappuccinos are excellent. Been here like 3 times. Never disappointed. I also like their social mission. Cool read more

Loved the interior of this place. Tons of seating not crammed together and plenty of outlets for those working on laptops. Got a plain iced latte and it was delicious. The staff were super sweet and made fun small talk while taking my order. Overall excellent place to hand out or work. read more

Perfect studying spot! I was able to study, pay bills, enjoy coffee and the delish banana bread! Def recommend!!

Basecamp is a very good coffee shop! The drinks are in the upper tier, and there's lots of good seating, including some comfortable seating! The only weakness, I believe, is the food. The sandwiches are decent, but could definitely use some improvement! They're not far off, and if their food was a little more interesting, the place would get five stars easily! The help is also great! read more

I came for some coffee and a study session/meeting. I found it a bit strange to only offer WiFi for two hours after your purchase. I had a zoom meeting that would go about 3 hours so I had to go elsewhere. Although, even if they provided endless WiFi access I don't know if it would have worked. I couldn't load a zoom recording on YouTube and had trouble with internet speed throughout my visit. Overall, it seems like a fine place to grab a coffee but I wouldn't advise trying to use this place for WiFi. It is also pretty loud, so if you have trouble studying with sound I would suggest elsewhere. The coffee was good and the food ok. read more

The coffee here was excellent but the cookie was dry and old tasting. The customer service was poor. Who is training these people? Two workers on a Saturday at 1 pm. Many customers. Long wait. Not rude, but not friendly. One lady walked in and was not even acknowledged for a few minutes until she finally just asked a question. One guy filling orders while the woman put dishes away. Not very good situational awareness. As we left, my husband said, "Have a nice day!" The young man did not even look up and said very tiredly, "you as well." Coffee shops should be fun and friendly! This one is sorely lacking either. There are too many other good coffee places in Fayetteville. Probably will never come back. read more

If you're looking for a cute little coffee shop to hang out or study with your coffee, this is definitely the place! The staff is friendly and inviting. The shop is so cute and well decorated, and the coffee was delicious! They also have nice merch for sale for themselves and local small businesses. Try the milk & honey latte. Would be perfect with a drive thru! read more

I've visited base camp about 4-5 times. First time the staff was very friendly. The following 4 times everyone behind the counter was fairly offstandish/unfriendly which made me uncomfortable to order. The atmosphere just doesn't feel welcoming as other coffee shops, including the folks who hang there. I really do enjoy their coffee and breakfast products, though, so I may continue to drop in and endure the awkwardness. I'd want to give it 3.5/5, but yelp is yelp. ‍ I also again think their actual food and drinks rock, but when there's so many options in NWA for friendlier & more welcoming cafes... that experience matters a bunch. read more

It's not Mama Carmen's anymore and I can't figure out why since that was an awesome and very popular coffee shop. I was happy to enjoy equally tasty coffee and options. Same decor, same atmosphere. Super friendly service. Love it!! read more

Decent coffee and tea menu. There are two separate dining rooms and the place is usually packed with college students. Service was nice and prompt, waiting no longer than 5 mins for a coffee when there were a few people ordering on front of me. Came here for a team meeting and it's a good spot if you have several people in your party. read more

Great place to hang out, work remotely or relax. I'm not a coffee drinker but friends say the coffee is great. They have a good tea selection, which I prefer. Fast wifi and good seating. read more

I was there when they first opened and had a tour BEFORE they opened. Was friendly, great coffee, a business with a mission. Now they have little time to be friendly, inviting, act like they are all serving a greater cause. I get better service, treated like an appreciated guest, and receive better coffee just down the street. Their baristas, even if they've never seen you before smile, welcome you, and act like they actually enjoy their job. They also don't act like you are an inconvenience to the conversation they were having with their coworker. What's sad is I knew the staff, manager, and even attended the church behind this. Now they lost their local community impact for a cash cow attitude. The customer base too, like another review mentioned is very homogeneous. You'd think they would realize that their "mission" includes each and every customer that comes to their counter and make an effort to make the atmosphere inviting to those not already part of their "group". Oh, and parking is obscene. read more

Mama Carmen's ranks somewhere in the middle for NWA coffee shops. Their coffee drinks are good but the variety is limited. Their beans are decent but nothing to write home about. The quality of the service is decent but it doesn't stand out. What I really like about Mama Carmen's is its physical space. There's a really pretty/funky mural on the outside of the building. The acoustics inside are good - you can hear the person sitting across from you, and I wasn't overwhelmed by other conversations. There are plenty of big tables and electric outlets, making it a perfect place to study. I stayed for maybe an hour with no hassle to leave. There are also fair-trade items for sale. All in all, I recommend Mama Carmen's for the space. The coffee is alright, though there is better in NWA. read more

Good coffee, nice atmospher,staff was friendly. Unlike a lot of coffee houses they did not look down on me when I ordered a hot chocolate, no judgements here. My wife said the coffee and the dessert we're excellent. read more

I absolutely love Mama Carmen's. I love the atmosphere and how much seating is available, so it's always good for a large group setting! The coffee is exceptionally good and such a great quality. I also love that the music is just the right level for listening because it doesn't overpower a casual conversation. This is one of the best local coffee shops in NWA, hands down. read more

This place is fantastic. They roast their own beans, and in the south, you just don't find a lot of those 'boutique' coffee shops. Couple that with their Fair Trade Coffee,a nd you have a great place to get a coffee with a conscience. Be prepared for a large U of A crowd, but that group is always fun. Drop by, and have a cup. read more

Great spot to get some work done or meet a friend for coffee. I've tried their drip coffee and lattes and both were great buys! I also enjoy the little shopping area with unique gifts, it's a great spot to get something eclectic. Lots of tables and chairs to work at as well! My only concern is that the charge extra for alternative milks! Vegans shouldn't be discriminated against :) read more

An instant favorite! Amazing coffee, great environment, wonderful people. They also have a large coffee roaster toward the back that adds to the uniqueness of this coffee shop. A bit biased since I already loved this place before it opened, but the atmosphere and coffee turned out great! read more

Pretty good coffee. I like that this coffee shop is not for profit. The bathrooms are clean and the lobby is very chill and trendy. Overall a pretty decent price for gourmet coffee. I will probably return. read more

Beautiful atmosphere, and they do art in their drinks. The prices are low, and they give students a 10% discount.
