Coffee is somewhat of a cultural obsession. It’s more than just a drink: it gives us routine and ritual, serves as morning fuel and afternoon pick-me-up, gives reason for a work break and reasons to gather together. Thanks to trendy third-wave coffee shops and an emphasis on specialty roasting, sustainability and quality, coffee lovers and connoisseurs have positively overwhelming options for where to enjoy their morning (or afternoon) caffeine dose. And American coffee culture shows no signs of fading.

Camp Coffee Company is bringing a bit of woodsy NorCal to coastal SoCal. For owner Jason Simpson, coffee and camping were always connected. He recalls the sound and aroma of percolating coffee on a camp stove during his many family expeditions to Golden State landmarks like Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks. Later in life, he brought these memories to life once again, this time, in the form of a cozy, dimly lit coffee shop in downtown Oceanside.
