I came to visit my Aunt for Thanksgiving and wanted to go try a coffee shop here. Was able to go here and its very cute. The girl who attended me was very sweet and helped me choose a drink to try. I got the Prancer’s Peppermint Bark Latte as well as the blueberry muffin which was so good and smooth.

Very cute coffee shop! Nice Barista.
I got an Americano. It was not good. The coffee tasted bitter/sour, and very weak.
We will not go back.
This is the second time we have tried this coffee shop.

Camel city coffee is the perfect place to chill and relax, or work on your screenplay ;>). It has Wi-Fi. Plenty of great places to sit indoors. I love the dark teal coloring on the walls.
It has all the standard coffee drinks in Sweet treats that you would expect from a coffee shop.
I think the thing that sets it apart though is the great outdoor seating area. It has a large covered area because of the building that it’s in, as well as an open area out to the side. I haven’t come across too many coffee shops that have both outdoor and indoor seating that are this nice.
If you’re a Winston local (or visitor!) PLEASE try this place out - you won’t regret it. Caroline greeted me at the door, made great conversation, and recommended a creamy, slightly sweet espresso drink that I absolutely love! (Vietnamese iced coffee for anyone who is curious!)
Same price points as Starbucks, I will easily take the time to go slightly out of my way to visit this place again. Thanks so much Caroline & crew!

Coffee is burnt and way overpriced. $7 for a 16- ounce latte that doesn't even taste good. Even my husband's black coffee tasted old and burnt. I try to support small businesses when I can, but next time I'll skip this place and go to Starbucks instead.

Camel City Coffee offers a welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff and lots of space to sit with a friend or do work. Their seasonal menu begs you to try something different. Each time I am surprised by how much I like the new drinks. The only problem with Camel City Coffee is that they aren't open 24/7! I love coming here!

Went in yesterday. Great coffee, indifferent service until it came time to tip, which I was going to and did do, unfortunately; they’re ultra loud about tipping. It felt like employees hated me just for being there, very awkward so I won’t be back.
