Camp Coffee Company
101 N Cleveland St, Carlsbad, CA
Crema's Take
“This beachside gem in Carlsbad delivers bold, smooth coffee that pairs perfectly with their creative seasonal drinks—think coconut cold brew and s'mores lattes—all served by genuinely kind humans who make you feel like a regular from day one. The vibe is laid-back and welcoming, with ample parking and thoughtful options for dietary preferences, making it easy to linger with your excellent cup over a gluten-free pastry or two. It's the kind of independent spot where locals keep coming back because the coffee is worth it and the people behind the counter actually care.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars – Absolute Beachside Gem Camp Coffee Company in Oceanside is what happens when good vibes, great coffee, and a perfect beach location all collide in the best possible way. First of all — the setting. Cozy, stylish outdoor seating right by the beach. You’re literally sipping coffee with ocean air in your face. It feels fancy but relaxed at the same time. Not pretentious. Just right. The staff? Super friendly, sharp, and welcoming. The whole team has that effortless cool energy — and yes, Oceanside definitely hires well. Professional, quick, smiling, and on point. Now let’s talk about the real reason we’re here: the coffee. Six bucks. Amazing quality. And they even throw in cookies. I mean… come on. In 2026, that’s basically a miracle. Strong, smooth, perfectly balanced — not that burnt chain-store nonsense. You can tell they care. Honestly, this is probably the best coffee spot right by the beach in Oceanside. Great crowd, great atmosphere, great product. Whether you’re closing deals, on a date, or just pretending to journal while people-watching — this is the move. Camp Coffee Company, keep doing exactly what you’re doing. You nailed it. ☕🔥
We got a coconut flavored cold brew, hot s'mores latte, and chocolate chip cookie. The cold brew was soooo good I'll definitely be back for that when I'm in the area. They had a decently large vegetarian dessert/snack selection. The latte I got was just ok but the cold brew made up for it 10 fold.
Amazing coffee - bold and smooth. Kind, joyful great humans! Love this place. Come visit, you’ll be so glad you did! We are back again this morning. Flat white and a delicious pumpkin cream cheese muffin for me, house drip and a delicious almond croissant for my hubby. The coffee is perfection here, no matter what is ordered. Jason carefully and thoughtfully asks enough questions to be able to make each drink to perfection. He even got the tiny bit of raw sugar in my flat white perfect. I’m so impressed. Be sure to find Camp Coffee and their awesome crew whenever you visit O’side. It’s a real treat.
Thank you again. Customer service is excellent. Conveniently located next to work with ample parking. Great gluten-free and vegan options. Coffee is a great hit with wife. Appreciate the recommendation, Alex. Will be a great place to visit in the morning from now on.
Everything I ordered for my first time visit at Camp Coffee Company was SO good! It was pricey for the food in my opinion, however, I will never feel bad for paying six dollars for a really good cup of coffee. I would give the atmosphere five stars, I just think it could have more comfortable furniture. The only coziness was all in their coffee. The staff were very friendly and the overall environment is calm. It’s a nice place to either catch up with a friend or have a solo study date.
