Coffee Shop No. 492 Camp Coffee Roasters Blowing Rock NC April 9 2025 Camp Coffee Roasters is a little coffee shop in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, a charming little mountain village. The downtown area sits about a mile from the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway (connects the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina to the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia). Camp Coffee Roasters has a cozy vibe and an obvious appreciation for the outdoors. It might have something to do with their neighbors; Footloggers, an outdoor store. Be sure to climb the stairs near the front door of the coffee shop. They lead to a loft, overlooking Footloggers, where you can relax in a wing back chair or get some work done at a table near a window. The barista was friendly and made a respectable cortado. Enjoying life one cortado at a time! read more

I've been to Camp Coffee a few times before. I'm from Boone, but I love Blowing Rock and visit often. Usually, we're greeted by friendly faces and a cozy atmosphere. Usually. This time, however, my mom and I were extremely disappointed. We were served by a young man who seemed to be the owner's son, while the owner and another young man stood behind the counter. He forgot to ask what sizes we wanted, and when I got my Campfire Cold Brew, it came without cream. The menu clearly said: Cold brew, marshmallow, Hershey chocolate, and cream. I thought maybe it wasn't my drink, but the young man confirmed it was. When I asked if it was supposed to have cream, he said no, but that he could add some. I double-checked the menu: "It says it comes with cream." That's when an older woman suddenly appeared, glaring. "There's cream right there," she snapped. I'm guessing she was his mom, given her signature mama bear energy. Sorry, lady! I was just trying to make sure I got what I paid for, especially since two small coffees cost $16. Anyway, if you're looking for an adventure, head to Camp Coffee. You might not see a wild bear in the mountains, but you just might meet one behind the counter read more

This is a mixed review. I've had coffee here several times and it's always excellent. My coffee today was so so but I guess the barista was having a bad day because I didn't get the cute little leaf or heart on the top like I usually do and the coffee was dumped in front of me with no lid as the barista looked sideways at the tip jar. Considering the cost of a cup of cappuccino I will forego tipping you for doing your job. They also do not take cash anymore, but only credit/ debit cards. When I asked if the customer had to pay the credit card fee, I was told no - that it was figured into what they charge for the coffee. Well, my coffee was about three dollars more than usual today so that's a bit disingenuous. Yes you as a customer are paying the credit card fee even though it's the store that is saying you can't pay with cash. read more

Camp Coffee Roasters was the cutest little coffee and cookie shop (with an attached gift shop). We ordered a latte with non-fat milk and a honey lavender latte. We also ordered the Kitchen Sink cookie (didn't snap a picture) and it was DELICIOUS. It was chewy, sweet, and buttery. It was also massive. Our barista was super nice and created some pretty latte art for us. The coffee was warm, comforting, and everything we needed on a cold day. It was the perfect drink to sip on while walking in quaint, downtown Blowing Rock. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious coffee (or cookie)! read more

I've been to this coffee shop, twice in like three days. I really enjoy their lattes, baked goods and it's super close to my hotel. It seems super cozy and looks like a great place to get a few work ours in. I plan to make it back by as I can. I love to support local shops any time I can get. This one just marks all the boxes for that breakfast coffee and baked good! It's a bonus that the staff is super nice and friendly. read more

Service is always questionable here. Just left the place Sunday morning and the gentleman at the register should never be customer facing. He had a grump scowl on his face and NEVER SAID A SINGLE WORD to me. Just stared. Never smiled never broke the scowl. Never said thank you or come back or how's your morning or go F yourself which would've been something. Watched the woman make a latte and two of them produced two lattes in 5 min between the conversations. She keep banging the canister of milk over and over before getting the latte out the door. I go out of location convenience but the service has never been great. read more

Reasonably priced with wonderful coffee and pastries. Welcoming and enthusiastic staff. Pleasant ambiance. Came here both mornings of our weekend stay. Note that this is the only coffee shop open before 10am on Sunday in Blowing Rock. Will definitely be back on our next visit. read more

On a rainy Thursday, Camp Coffee bailed us out! Our Airbnb did not have WiFi and we had to finish up some work. We were able to sit at a cozy table upstairs with our therapy dog. Great coffee, scone, and biscuit.. Got our work done. Super friendly stsff. Thanks Camp Coffee! read more

Kind of disappointed. Read all these great reviews anddddd the coffee was just... okay. The menu is small and hard to read unless you're like up at the counter or next to be helped. I felt a little rushed since I had never been there before and didn't know what I wanted. People started coming in behind me so I ordered a campfire latte (at least I think that's what it was called! It had marshmallow and chocolate in it.) I paid close to $6 for a 16oz iced, with zero extras. Maybe that's the norm here, but where I come from, I could get a 24oz for that price. Anyway, I should have listened to the guy who said his coffee was watery cause he hit the nail on the head with his review. It wasn't bad, but it didn't make me want to come back either. Not sure how many espresso shots come in a small, but the coffee/coffee flavor was lacking. Maybe it would have been better hot, but who drinks hot lattes when it's like 80 degrees outside? They did offer an array of pastries, but I didn't even get the chance to look. Either way, the place seemed clean and other people seemed to enjoy it. Staff was nice, I guess. Not overly friendly or had any suggestions when I said it was my first time though. Maybe I'm slightly critical of my coffee and need to give the place a second chance, but I think I'll try a different shop tomorrow to see if somewhere else is better before going back. ‍ read more

What a jerk! I walked into the store at 4:54pm to buy coffee beans and as soon as I crossed the threshold she raises her voice a bit to say, "We're closed now." My husband asked her what time they close and she replied, "Now." Advice to the store owner, train your employees to act in a way that is curious such as asking, "How can we help you today?" rather than operating in a way that would seemingly "inconvenience" the employee to have to work a minute past closing time. read more

We love Camp Coffee roaster. They offer coconut milk lattes which is my favorite. Outside seating for when the weather is nice. Upstairs seating for indoors. They also offer lots of food options for either a morning or afternoon snack. read more

We bought four coffees and threw two away right after we left. They were terrible which is surprising for a place that specializes in coffee. Also the prices weren't posted but I know that I could have asked. The girl at the counter didn't seem to enjoy her job. Maybe it was an off day so I will probably give them another chance. read more

This is a charming store with very interesting coffee menu. We ended up at this place after a day o hiking. It was a good stop. The location is very relaxing. The coffee was good as well. I had the Honey Lavender coffee which I found very delicious. Definitely go to this store if in the area. read more

This has been one of the best espresso bars I've been to in the high country!!! The espresso has been consistently exceeding my expectations! The baristas really know how to texture the milk and how to balance it out as well. Service was quick and really pleasant. The interior of the shop is quaint and cozy. This is a must try place. read more

With a name like Camp Coffee in the mountains I immediately circled this weeks before my trip because it's just about the coolest name I've ever heard for a coffee shop on my hiking trip throughout North Carolina and Virginia. It was honestly one of the more disappointing places we went for food/drinks during the trip. 1. We ordered iced caramel coffees and they tasted like water. The coffee taste or flavor wasn't really all there. Very watery. 2. I really wanted to take a bag of coffee home with me and their bagged coffee was almost $20 a bag. Now, I go to a lot of coffee shops in the South East and none are $20 bucks a bag. It's more of a $12-$16 dollar range. 3. The dude who made our drinks couldn't have been any more less interested in us. He was too busy having a conversation with some other dude in the shop. 4ish - Don't get me wrong - Camp Coffee isn't bad...it just isn't good. I recommend The Local Lion in Boone, NC for coffee. read more

Coffee was good and staff was very nice and gave great suggestions. After sitting in the shop and drinking & enjoying our coffee, I asked for the key to restroom only to be told "it's out of order" for public. Would stop again but definitely going to try the other coffee shops that are a few blocks away. read more

Nice, local coffee joint on the edge of downtown. This little shop was just a few steps away from our hotel on the Eastern end of town. We wanted something caffeinated but cold in the afternoon so we got a large iced chai latte. The server was very pleasant and as a bonus, we used our Yelp check-in to get a discount. Then we enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying the outdoors before doing more shopping. They roast their own coffee and also have pastries and other beverages. We'll take an independently owned coffee place over a large chain any day. read more

Stopped in for a cup of coffee. Loved their choice of milk alternatives. Ordered a caramel vanilla oat coffee and enjoyed it! Grabbed a bag of coffee as a gift and enjoyed the service! I wish the restrooms were open to customers. I know with COVID it's difficult, but your customers would love to be able to use it! read more

The service was quick, and the coffee was quite tasty. I ordered the mocha frappe and my fiancée got the Java chip. The view out the back was stellar. read more

We just moved into Blowing Rock ten days ago and we've already been here three or four times. They have an awesome selection of lattes and mochas. My favorites have been the honey lavender latte and the orange mocha. They even have nitro coffee. They also have a wide selection of baked goods with quiche, croissants, cookies, muffins and more. read more

We enjoyed our coffee and blueberry muffins with our four legged friend outside. We will be back to try another treat!!!

Excellent service very fast. Loved their breakfast sandwiches. Small business. Great for grabbing on the way to tweetsy.

We stopped by for breakfast. Honey lavender and butter beat lattes were very flavorful. Drinks were carefully made but service was still fast. Nice atmosphere and seating upstairs. read more

Finally! A good coffee place! I've been on a road trip from Florida and trying out little coffee shops, and none have been good. I went here and had an iced caramel latte. It was perfect and yummy! And the woman behind the counter was nice! Highly recommend read more

I love getting up early and walking to get coffee before school I usually get a iced grande caramel non-fat latte

Always good coffee, and love it being veteran owned, great baked goods and pastries- and although no fault of their own, it's tough when there is a long line and only one employee. But it's fine, we love it enough to wait. And for a coffee shop, I feel like there should be fresh half and half... and not the packaged little things. ‍‍‍ read more
