We stopped into The Funky Buffalo for a quick coffee and were blown away by how welcoming the staff was. They were getting ready to close, but the young ladies behind the counter were incredibly kind, patient, and still made fantastic drinks. They even wrote scripture on our cups, which was such a thoughtful touch I wish we had discovered this place sooner--my wife and I would've loved to spend more time in their cozy, inviting atmosphere. We'll definitely be back. Skip the chain shops; this local spot is something special. read more

Funky Buffalo - Caramel Latte and an apple caramel cold coffee, a special of the place! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Camdenton, Missouri

I really enjoyed coming here when I come down to the lake! I love that they put Bible verses on the cups. The drive-through is not great option for me, since they don't have a full menu out there. So unless you know exactly what you want I wouldn't suggest it. I think they're fairly priced or perhaps my many years in New York have tainted my view of coffee shop prices. I really love that they offer so many sugar-free options and so many inclusions. Very rarely will you find a peanut butter or protein powder as an option at a coffee shop. I think they should add Oreos to the menu, but I'm impartial to an Oreo frappe I will say the baked goods cabinet looks unappealing. Not only does everything look hard but it also looks like it's been over baked. It's kind of sad looking tbh. I think the service is great and no one was rude or irritated to assist my grandmother who had never been to a coffee shop before. They do not allow emotional support animals and they don't have pup cups. The merch side is priced like a boutique, which is surprising since everything is clearly made in China. Was baffled they want $30 for a polyester trucker hat. read more

This is a super cute stop around the Lake of the Ozarks! The coffee and tea were both yummy and we got some pup cups that were amazing! We loved the sweet bible verses written on our cups. read more

Well I love this place! Drove down here from JC to pick up an item with plans to get a coffee and cinnamon coffee cake here (delicious) and low and behold they are not open as the google and Yelp page said they where!! While turning around to leave we saw 6 more vehicles come and leave disappointed. Might want to make changing your hours on all platforms a higher priority! So disappointing read more

Really great coffee shop! The kind of place you want to spend your money. Not a chain. A cute building with kind people working there. The two young ladies were knowledgeable about their coffee selections. Our favorite part was the Bible verses they put on the cups! We love a Christ centered business. The coffee was SO good. I had caramel apple. My son had strawberry shortcake. My husband had 4 shot breve. read more

I was visiting my friend in Camdenton, and she took me to the Funky Buffalo for coffee. What a great place! The space is large and inviting, with plenty of separate seating areas so that folks can sit and chat without feeling crowded. There's even a play area for kids, and a selection of board games to choose from, so that families can spend time together. There's also outside seating of patio tables with umbrellas, so it's possible to enjoy the great outdoors regardless of the weather. The baristas are all friendly and efficient and guided me through the menu as a first timer. They have a wide selection of hot and cold drinks, as well as pastries, muffins, and breakfast sandwiches. I chose an apple scone to pair with my iced latte, and both were absolutely delicious! My friend and I spent over an hour at the Funky Buffalo, and it was a perfectly delightful time. Thank you so much! read more

The funny buffalo is a super cute coffee shop nestled on hwy 5 in Camdenton. They have everything from pastries, to food, to coffees! Hot or iced! This morning I got their maple pecan pumpkin iced latte from their call menu & also some delicious avocado toast! The baristas were super nice! If you don't have time to run in, go through their drive-through window! Super convenient! read more

This is such a cute local coffee shop! We love checking out local coffee shops when we travel and this one did not disappoint. I loved their board with their Barista's favorite drinks! The girls working were very nice and helpful. They also have some boutique items for sale, coffee beans, and gluten-free items too! read more

Out visiting Osage Beach with husband and discovered that there was only one coffee shop (non-Starschmucks) in the area and it was closed for the season? Like I know LOTO is mostly visited during summer, but wouldn't the people who live here appreciate a warm cup of Joe mostly in the Winter? Just sayin'. Anywho, we came out to Camdenton, MO and found that they have two coffee shops. One of which was way too small to hang out and do work on a laptop and the other was this one. Had I paid attention to this one review that dogged this place for claiming their coffee tasted like peanut butter I wouldn't have came. Peanut scent usually suggests coffee beans have been over-roasted but hey it's the Roasterie brand from KC and they make great coffee, so nothing wrong here. This place is also spacious, yet not too many spots to plug in a laptop. read more

We love checking out new local coffee shops when we are traveling, and we were excited to try this place out based on the fun name. We were very pleased with our iced lattes and breakfast burritos, and it was such a pleasant surprise to see that they had a children's area. My son really enjoyed playing with all of the toys and it was nice that he was able to play while we enjoyed our food and drinks. It was a bonus to see how strongly they support veterans as well. We are excited to go back! read more

This location is so very cool. Reminds me of a ranger station rest stop, with great vibes outdoors. Decent indoor decor make for a nice sit-down, and on days where live music is present, pretty good atmosphere for any kind of business. So now, the not so good. Courteous staff is present, and they're more than enough to hold their own here, but it seems that product preparation and quality need some work, and this is compounded by prices not reflective of area or quality. When you're eclipsing a chain like SB and your local competitors price-wise, your product lines should be outstanding. Sadly that's not the case. I'd give a decent B- for the hot coffee itself, in its purest form, but it seems mixes and recipes are off and need tuning. Maybe growing pains in the business, not sure. Only had a few visits so maybe there will be improvement. The accompanying menu (esp sandwiches) needs a lot of work to be passible, especially for what they're charging. Just coming in for a cup of joe on a live music day? Add a star. Be wary of the rest of the menu for now. 4.7/10 stars read more

I don't know where to start. Have you ever had a coffee so bad that it made you angry? I've never ingested anything in my life that has given me such a reaction. To top it off, my drink was close to $9! Everyone is very friendly and polite, the atmosphere is very unique and laid back; but their drinks are disgustingly horrible. My kid ordered a cookie and didn't want it after 1 bite. I'm giving them a 2 for their congeniality. Their coffee drinks get a zero; I would give the drinks a negative zero if I could. So disappointed as their name is awesome and gave me something to look forward to. If anyone who works/cares about this place and would like to genuinely improve it, if you are willing to accept some constructive criticism, I would whole heartedly ask you to go ask another local coffee shop what you should do to improve your product. Also, I would recommend trying some YouTube recipes on the basics of ingredients, ratios, ice, and syrups. read more

Great coffee, great place, cool people. You want coffee doodads and art? Music. This is your place. Ditch the chain coffee.

This place is a hidden treasure. We are going to make it a frequent stop. Coffee is excellent and a scone on the side made my day!

peanut butter cup frappe. the best. it's like a thick shake but soooo tasty. would hate to know how many calories but it never stops me. highly recommend read more

Service, coffee, and food is great! The environment is welcoming and chill. The boutique inside also has some cute stuff!

Went in today with my big family and a young girl named Chloe was very polite and kind. She even named all the pastries off the top of her head, waited longer then usual which is understandable given it looked like they were understaffed. The only thing not appreciated in this experience was the blonde older manager who came in a hurry and my problem was with the way she seemed to be snapping at the staff (Chloe and another gentleman). Very unprofessional and rude considering Chloe was already on register and drinks by herself, props to her. read more

amazing quality menu items. great customer service and clean environment. my favorite thing was the croissant breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg and cheese read more

Funky Buffalo - a hand holding a cup of iced coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Camdenton, Missouri

I was not impressed with this place. The pastries looked burnt and the coffee took forever to come out. My mom and I got mochas, which are pretty difficult to get wrong, but neither of us finished our drink. The espresso obviously has a flavor hint that makes it taste like peanut butter. I like peanut butter, but in my coffee? Not a fan. The baristas weren't particularly friendly and the merch in the store made quite the statement (especially the "Let's Go, Brandon" shirt). I would not waste your money and time here. read more

Great coffee for me! Husband said his was a little bitter. Prices were high but appreciate the veteran suicide prevention piece!

Stopped in while visiting from out of town....we were happy to find a non-chain option. Everyone was very friendly, coffee and desserts were fantastic. Would highly recommend this place! read more

Great customer service, very friendly employees and owner! All around great atmosphere! Plus, best coffee in town!!

Very nice to have a go to coffee shop. Lucky to have it in our area. Great coffee and sandwiches.

Great place - coffee is just tremendous and the breakfast items are superb! Great gluten free selection! Staff is always always always genuine and friendly!!!highly recommend!! read more

I went through the drive thru on my lunch hour, so I can't speak of the atmosphere inside. When I pulled up to the menu I found an extremely limited and underwhelming menu to choose from. I ordered the Turkey Panini, which the board stated comes with kettle chips. I was then asked if I wanted the chips. Since I was paying for them, I did. They were just bagged "Block & Barrell" brand chips. I'm glad I got them because they turned out to be the best part of the meal. The sandwich is literally just two pieces of plain, boring turkey lunch meat and American cheese. Nothing else was offered or put on the sandwich. It is very thin and bland. Definitely the most bland and boring sandwich I have ever paid $8 for. I do not see myself returning. read more

Such a great spot to hang out. As a mom of 3, I LOVE this place; not only for their coffee, but they even have a section for the kids to play in! Double score!! I am a frequent customer and the staff has always been top notch! I love this place so much, I went ahead and bought one of their t-shirts :) read more

Funky Buffalo - a cup of coffee on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Camdenton, Missouri

Lots of seating, music at an acceptable level, and friendly staff make for a great place to work or meet people. The three stars rating comes solely from the coffee quality, not from the environment. The Roasted beans are not that great, and the espresso is a mid grade quality. Too highly priced a product considering both the regional location and the quality of the product they serve. read more

Im in Missouri visiting family and decided to stop by this place. My boyfriend got a pour over coffee (Organic Peruvian) which is typical for him, however, what is not typical is the amount of coffee they gave! It was A LOT which is awesome!! Usually it's just one cup but he was able to fill his cup a couple of times which was such a good deal. I got a coconut milk latte which was really good! The main reason for this review was because I accidentally left my purse at the table I was sitting at and the place closed shortly after I left. I saw the purse was still sitting at the table when I returned to the store but everyone had already left. I figured I would have to make a trip from Macks Creek to get it in the morning. I ended up running into the lady who took my order at Walmart and she actually brought us back to the store and let us in so I could get my purse! That is amazing!! That would never happen in the big city where I'm living. Thanks for great coffee and outstanding service! :):) read more

Funky Buffalo - Great place to get some work done when traveling through. Did not expect to find something like this out here in the country. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Camdenton, Missouri

Although the Funky Buffalo is quant and homey, the environment does not make up for the poor quality and even worse service we received. The coffee shop was surprisingly slow for a Saturday morning (Dec. 14th). We were barely greeted by a young man wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt behind the counter - he looked like he had just rolled out of bed. He was not helpful or polite. We had to repeat our order a couple times. It was clear that he was disinterested and did not care about getting it correct. That was evident in the product we received. Two very simple drinks that turned out to be the worst, most disappointing coffee I have ever had. One was made hot when it should have been iced. When asked to correct it, he seemed annoyed and took it away with no apology. The "remade" drink came back worse than the first. It was as if he poured the hot coffee over ice and served it. It was watery and lacked flavor. The other drink was also disappointing - lukewarm, watery, with minimal flavor. I had to add more honey and stir it myself to even taste it. The breakfast sandwich was sloppy and it had clearly been microwaved which was disappointing. If the coffee shop had been busy, the lack of service/quality would have been more understandable. However, it was clear that he, and the other staff, were untrained and simply did not care. A waste of time and money. read more

Really cute little coffee shop. Stopped here after hiking at Ha Ha Tonka state park. Got a mocha and a breakfast sandwich. They were very friendly, prompt and welcoming. Then even gave my dog a treat, which is always appreciated. Would definitely go back if I was in the area again! read more

Nice. This reminds me of something near the ocean in SoCal. Comfortable, clean and the food is healthy and delicious. The lake needed a place like this. I will be back often... read more

The coffee is wonderfully. It is nice to have a coffee place that has great flavors and a relaxing atmosphere at the Lake. I wish the breakfast menu (egg type meals) were more to my taste but the muffins are scrumptious. read more

I stopped for a regular coffee. The coffee and service were great. Strong, fragrant, and delicious brew. I didn't try any pastries or espresso, so I can't fully review. The place is what it says-funky. Full of arts and crafts, cutsie gifts, and whatnots. read more

Everything is perfect at this place! The food, the drinks. I'm not a coffee person but my husband is. I got a hot chocolate and and tried one of their flavored teas. I also had a muffin and it was absolutely delicious!! My husband said the coffee was phenomenal. I loved the quirky, unique atmosphere. I will be back for sure! read more

Great place! Unexpected to have a breakfast /lunch place like that in Camdenton. Roomy, no loud annoying music, perfect to have a nice time with your family. Coffee is very good. My son loved the breakfast burrito. I had a breakfast croissant. Also very tasty with lots of ham inside. Definitely will come again. read more

First visit and we will be back!! The coffee was smooth and flavored perfectly! Fantastic!

Very quaint & friendly service. We had coffee & snacks and it was great! Facilities were clean & it was a very relaxing visit!
