Hello Campers, just wanted to give y’all a heads up on a situation we’ve been dealing with recently. The USPS has been having some issues in regards to delivery. We’ve been shipping coffee around the country for years now with little to no problem but recently we’ve seen an uptick in returns ( many times to people who we’ve shipped to for years) and we’ve noticed and heard back from our customers that our normal 3 to 4 day delivery time is looking more like 5 to 7 days. I’ve been in contact with our local USPS and it seems to be a common issue across the country at the moment.
Thank you for your patience and for all the support. We love roasting coffee for y’all and we will keep getting after it here at Camp HQ to bring you the freshest coffee possible.
Hang in there y’all
hello campers,
What a crazy month it’s been, as of April 1st all of our locations closed temporarily and our team has been following governor coopers “stay at home” orders.
but… our online store remains open and ready for ya! We added a few things and we have more stuff landing soon. Last week we added our favorite brewing device, the Aeropress. It’s been a staple in our gear for years now and we are pleased to be selling it online. We have all of our favorite coffees available in 5 pound bags now! You can also get a subscription so you don’t even need to worry about ordering, we’ve got ya covered.
thank you to everyone who has been supporting us by shopping online with us, we are grateful to be able to keep the roaster rolling for all y’all. Hang in there and we look forward to seeing you out and about in the future.
Ready to roll
Lets Drink Coffee At Home
Things have been a bit wild lately. With all the uncertainty, we have been trying to adjust to the changing times and the impact of COVID-19 on our world. We are working tirelessly in our cafes to keep things safe and calm. So far, so good. We wanted to let you know that our goal is to stay the coarse of our Values and remain true to our Mission Statement. To do that, we have been working diligently to follow guidance from the CDC and the WHO. We will keep serving coffee as long as possible. In the meantime, if youve decided to lay low and chill at the house to help flatten the curve, wed like to offer a discount to all our online products. Use the code HOMEBREW to get 25% off all orders over $25.00
Furthermore, we wanted to remind y’all that you can get an E Gift Card. The E gift card is a great way to help support our day to day operations while things get a bit dicey…and will be great to use later after this mess is all behind us. Th e E gift card is a great option that does not expire and is good at ALL of our locations.
The link above will allow you to get a E Gift Card that will be handy in our Lenoir, Boone, and Blowing Rock shops. We look forward to seeing you in our shops after things settle and all is well.
Game On Lenoir!
This is the bar... almost finished. Shout out to Hank for the sweet pastry case!
Wilbur Curtis brewer is brewing liquid gold
After months of remodeling, designing, and searching out the gear to make our new shop rock, we have arrived. Tomorrow, Tuesday June 18th we will unlock the door and have a “soft opening”. This means we will be dialing in all the little things here and there so we will slowly move towards perfection. It’s been a long push with some cool new additions to include NITRO and cold brew coffee. Our team had been going full steam ahead helping make it happen. We are excited to be serving coffee in Lenoir... stay tuned for teasers about our next location which will open later this summer ... rhythms with spoon!
Lenoir Countdown
We are just a few weeks away from opening here in Lenoir on Mulberry Street. We hope to be serving coffee in early June. We plan to have a Grand Opening later this summer with the help of our friends at the Caldwell Chamber of Commerce.
We look forward to seeing y’all and bringing our fresh roasted coffees to Lenoir and we will be sure to update our blog as things progress.
Lastly, a BIG thank you to #teamcamp as they have been hard at work with us on this project and many other exciting things that we’ve been doing. ( Like our cold brew and nitro coffee which is already on fire) We’ve said it since the beginning and it bares repeating, we couldn’t do what we do or be where we are without our team.
PS- Since y’all took the time to read this far, we will share a little secret if you keep it on the down low... keep your eyes peeled in Boone as things are happening soon. Can’t give out any deets yet BUT cool things are happening.
Here Comes Nitro
Hello Campers, we’ve been in the lab here at Camp HQ recently working on our cold brew recipes. Blowing Rock will soon be getting our first batches of this smooth drinking goodness, we will be serving both cold brew and nitro coffee.
Cold brew is a process where the coffee is essentially steeped for 12-24 hours in cool to room temp water without ever being heated. This method is up to 60% less acidic than a hot brewed coffee that is traditionally served.
Nitro coffee is where nitrogen is infused into the cold brew to create a creamy cascading drink that will give you a completely different take on coffee.
The first batches will land soon so keep your eyes peeled for a new take on our coffees.
Yes, we have a Sasquatch.
LENOIR UPDATE: Our location on Mulberry Street in downtown Lenoir is just weeks away from our soft opening. We’ve been working hard and putting in some long days. Our friends at Frye’s Sign Company installed the sign last week and it looks sharp. We hope to be open in the late June timeframe and we look forward to serving our coffees in LA (Lenoir Area) :)

Hey Sweetheart
It’s that time of the year again. Valentines Day is right around the corner and what better way to spend time with your sweetie than with a cup of fresh roasted coffee. One of my favorite seasonal coffees is here, this year our Sweetheart Blend features two lovely coffees from a cooperative in the Honduras. A honey washed coffee and a natural process coffee blended together into perfect harmony. It’s sweetness and rich chocolate body are a real crowd pleaser. LIMITED RELEASE 12 OZ bag.
