AMAZING coffee shop. Black owned business, and when I say they take good care of you? They take GOOD CARE!! Nice rustic ambience and really comfortably spaced for people to get their work done and to vibe and enjoy their cold and warm beverage offerings and bakery delights, either inside or outside. 100% recommended from me.

This is a nice cozy coffee shop. The sandwiches are good and the coffee even better. I like that there is an outside seating area. The bathrooms are clean and the customer service is very good. I have not seen that many black people frequent this black owned business. But maybe theres not enough of us that know about this cool spot. Either way the other patrons seem nice enough. FYI the bagel was toasted a lil too much for me, but good none the less

Everything about this coffee shop is beautiful- friendly and welcoming service, gorgeous ambiance, delicious coffee and its a Black owned coffee shop. I met the owner today and he was such a fun and friendly person! He spent time talking to me about Campfire coffees roasting process and spoke about the heart, time, and feeling he puts into his coffee beans. Um, I want love coffee! I want all that heart, soul, and knowledge poured into all my lattes and drip coffee. What a blessing to indulge in delicious campfire coffee, roasted with love, time, and attention. All the while, this coffee and the coffee shops roots are grounded in the love of the outdoors.

Fun coffee spot near UW Tacoma. Atmosphere is woodsy with creative camp decor. A variety of drinks, snacks, light meal choices. Has a unique smooth smoky flavor to the coffee. Friendly staff.

I really wanted to like Campfire Coffee. It’s almost a great cafe. Despite the laidback campy-trendy atmosphere and the decent coffee, the campfire coffee company lacks efficiency and organization. The staff seemed unable to cope with the large, but not unreasonably sized crowd a Saturday morning brings. Parts of orders were forgotten (not just for us) and there was no clear way to see who the upcoming order belonged to (we accidentally snatched a latte from a couple with a similar order). If the management is reading this, I suggest assigning a name or number to each order to keep it organized.I think I’d come back again, just not on a busy day.

Cozy, open space with a fun camping theme. Great coffee. Friendly owners. I made the trip down there and back from North Seattle this morning and was happy I did.

Hands downtown Tacoma’s best java joint, it’s the real deal for those that appreciate good espresso and treats with friendly people.

Review №9

Delicious and unique coffee without all the hype. Whether its a pumpkin spice latte or a black drip, their unique fire roasting shines through with clear earthy notes, absolutely no bitterness to be found. As a tea/coffee drinker, I appreciate that roast is invigorating without being so caffeinated you bounce off the walls with one cup.The warm atmosphere is everything from a hey when you come in, to the cute family photos on the wall, or a borrowing bookshelf featuring black authors and characters with pride. The camping theme is thorough without being tacky, from natural wood benches to local protein bars to take on the trail.10/10. New this year but sure to become a Tacoma standard.

Great spot and atmosphere. Love to support local businesses, but our drinks were lacking. My latte was watery tasting and just didn’t taste right, and out other drink they didn’t exactly know how to make was also not so great.

Amazing space that helped me feel welcome in the city as a Black person. The coffee is amazing and the store is very clean. One of the owners was there both times i went, he was supporting his staff and he was open to some feedback that I had... then fixed the issue immediately and with enthusiasm :D I will be going back and recommend this space to BIPOC individuals and chill white people

Campfire Coffee has been our go to coffee place on Downtown Tacoma since 2020. The service, the food, the coffee - all of it is wonderful. This is a must visit location.

Amazing atmosphere and incredible pour over coffee. If you want a break from the city life and to get away into a woodsy camping experience, look no further. I mean, where else can you do that? The staff is incredibly friendly and will 100% sing and dance to 80s music with you. Just go here and support your local coffee place. They deserve it. ❤️

I visited Campfire Coffee this morning and had the best experience! Amazing coffee and amazing customer service; I cant wait to return! I ordered a hot Americano and my partner ordered a latte. Both drinks came out fast and were incredibly delicious-- such a treat. The owners of the shop are so kind and hospitable, and the seating area is spacious and clean.Campfire Coffee also has plenty of snacks and to-go food options, as well as craft sodas and kombucha. They also have coffee beans for sale, locally roasted. I purchased a bag of espresso blend. Street parking makes visiting this coffeeshop super easy and accessible. I will definitely be coming back! :-)

Stopped in yesterday for the first time, wanted to try out there coffee. I’m a coffee geek so standards are high :). They knew what a traditional macchiato was, so great start. And they roast their own coffee. So not surprisingly it was a great visit. We will definitely be back.

This place definitely has potential, but the vibes just aren’t that good inside. They need better seating arrangements and maybe some good music? It was just very quiet and not so cozy feeling. But the staff was very friendly!!

If you are looking for a good cup of coffee and a toasted bagel with cream cheese, this is the place. Amazing customer service, very friendly!

Review №29

Very different and unique flavor which is why I gave it five stars because they created their own niche in a heavily saturated market. I will say it is an acquired taste but doesn’t hurt to try and support a local black owned business.

Ive been buying whole bean coffee from Campfire since April, when my best friend told me about their fire roasting method. Its been used for drip, pour over, and espresso coffees. So when I heard they were open for business I had to get over there in person!Their shop is so aesthetic and cute it feels like being at an indie coffee shop mixed with a campground. And they are so sweet! The owners were friendly and welcoming despite how busy they were. Our drinks were made with care and tasted fantastic. I am so excited to see how Campfire Coffee grows and am thrilled to be able to support a local, black-owned business for my coffee addiction - both at home and as a treat when Im out and about.

8/21/20A friendly and warm atmosphere to enjoy your cup of joe. Ive ordered products from their website for a few months now so I was excited to hear it about their soft opening. While the parking was a little bit of an issue, we found a spot within a 5-minute walk of it. The shop itself looks really nice. Not a whole lot of seating right now, but that is understandable given the conditions. We ordered a Marshmallow Latte and a Black and White Mocha, they were ok. Nothing spectacular, but not overly sweet which was nice. Im going to give them the benefit of the doubt and say once they get into the groove of things and are officially open the quality will go up. I will definitely be back. Between the locally sourced snacks and merchandise, and the warm atmosphere, it makes for an enjoyable experience.

I loved their merch and thought the staff was very kind. I am a huge coffee girl and this shop is next to my workplace. I tried their Toasted Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte. It wasn’t my favorite but I honestly think it was the drink I got. I want to go back and try a iced caramel latte instead. I suggest checking it out though! It’s a cute place and even if it isn’t my favorite, it very well might be yours. 😊

Review №55

When you walk in you are instantly transported into the outdoors--you no longer feel the hustle bustle of a mid-size port city, but instead you feel as if you are on a quintessential PNW camping wilderness experience. And then theres the coffee--just close your eyes and savor the flavor. Forget your worries and anxiety and just for a minute imagine that you are standing in that cascade of evergreens on a cool, misty morning. You are dressed in your warm flannel and a beanie--sipping pure deliciousness that warms you from the inside out while you take deep breaths of fresh air in between sips.

I really loved the coffee shop look and vibe!!! I’ve gone twice and coffee was not that good it was burnt. I also love that it’s black owned and as an African American myself I would have loved to see a barista of minority

Review №58

PLEASE GET A THERMOMETER to check beverage’s temperature before you hand it to a customers. Milk is easy to overheat and besides burned tongue it also destroys the taste of the beverage :( Maybe it’s a one time thing and I would feel horrible to ruin your wonderful reviews. But seriously please think about getting a thermometer as it’s pretty annoying to have burned tongue and wait for your coffee to cool down for 30 minutes.

Campfire coffee just opened in the middle of covid and its such an amazing experience! I heard about it from a couple of friends at my church and upon walking in Quincy welcomed us as if we were old friends. He talked us through how the coffee shop started and made us great drinks. We had a drip coffee and a cocoa bomb drink (quite the fun experience). The environment is super warm and well decorated woodsy theme. They also have a small library of childrens books that support the african american community. People were working on their laptops, a small meeting was going on, and a family came in. All the while Quincy was diligent to make sure to connect with each of them to make sure they had what they needed to feel welcome. In this time of COVID it was a welcome bright spot in our day. Will definitely be back.

Thank goodness I heard about this place on KNKX, I’d be missing out otherwise. Really good coffee and great prices on their merch, I will most definitely be back! My new favorite place for coffee, thank you!12/30/20- I’d like to add to my review since Campfire continues to be awesome. I have been able to try almost all of their coffees and love them, but was hesitant to try their Snowcap white coffee because it was pre-ground and in a smaller package than the rest of their coffee, I usually just order the bigger bags. Well I am kicking myself for waiting so long, the Snowcap is REALLY good and now I understand why the white is pre-ground, thank you I will be buying more! I would also like to add a note about their merch- I was finally able to get a couple of their hoodies, they sell out often so get them while you can! They are very comfortable and a great price!Thank you again, your coffee is SO good and you all are amazing.I appreciate you.
