Camino Bakery - Brookstown

Amazing vegan and gluten free options!! I wish I could have one of these in Florida. Too bad I was just spending the night in Winston Salem, if not I’d come back here every week! Delicious latte, too. And the best GF mushroom quiche I’ve ever had - this isn’t an exaggeration, it’s just absolutely unreal!

The only bakery in Winston-Salem that would make a bourbon pecan pie for Thanksgiving. So I ordered the pie, it needed to be paid for upon ordering due to being a Thanksgiving order. Completely understandable. Upon arrival at Camino bakery, I walked up to the coffee counter, and I asked where I needed to go in order to pick up a pie that I ordered for Thanksgiving the gentleman behind the coffee espresso machine said that I needed to wait in line and request it at the register so for a pie that was already prepaid and all I needed to do was pick it up. it took me 40 minutes to get through the line in order to pick up my pie. Once at the register, I showed my receipt for the prepaid pie and was told to go stand over by the stairwell and they would send the lady up from downstairs with my pie. She came upstairs without my pie. Wanted to see my receipt again to confirm looked at my receipt went downstairs came back up with my pie. This all took 40 minutes for a pie that was prepaid. Part of the reason why people pre-order and pre-pay is so that they do not have to go stand in line for another 40 minutes during the holidays for that reason I would never order from this bakery again. The parking lot is really cramped so park on the street. It is very loud inside, so if you want to work on your computer bring headphones. Onto the pie, the pie was so tiny it slopped around in the box and for $37. It had literally no bourbon flavor would definitely not be my go to bakery for anything. In my 40 minutes standing inline I witnessed muffins, pastries, slices of quiche placed on plates and served cold. I witnessed the gentleman serving food wipe his face never wash his hands and serve food multiple times.

I love love love Camino!!! The BEST coffee shop in Winston, with the most delicious pastries! As someone who chooses a vegan diet (and is allergic to food dye), I love knowing that everything is fresh and made with real ingredients. I can tell you confidently that they have the best vegan pastries in town, and I love trying something different every season as they rotate their menu. The staff are friendly, and have great suggestions for delicious drinks. All locations are great, though Brookstown is my favorite, especially with the new renovations! A must try in the Winston area, you won't regret it!

Nice place and always has been, nice to see them trying to grow and do a patio! My biggest struggle is it seems consistent that drinks aren’t always full. This last time we ordered a large latte and matcha and found it half full with a heavy head of foam and the matcha wasn’t full either! I’ll update review if this changes! Staff was friendly though and it was clean inside! Looking forward to seeing how the new patio is once done!

I truly love this place! Also a must stop when we stay at the Brookstown Inn. The everything and & Swiss croissant is so savory and delicious. The lavander latte was deliciously sweet! Can’t recommend this place more!

Got coffee and a chocolate croissant here one morning and enjoyed both. We ordered about 7:30 and there was a short line, though the wait was reasonable. Coffee was well made and of a quality I expected for the price and brand of beans used. Not much interaction with the staff but they were busy and polite. The space is bigger than it looks from the outside but from what I saw there isn’t a ton of space to sit and drink your coffee if you are in a group. Overall I would definitely come back if I were in the area longer, but I’m only here for a few days.

We had a wonderful time visiting Camino! We enjoyed the coffee and comfortable seating. Although they were very busy when we arrived we still received great quality coffee/chai & pastries. I also enjoyed reading about their daily specials. We hope to return soon!

Really good café, the pastry is spectacular, the variety of coffee is the same. I’m not from this city, but every time I’ll come, definitely I’ll step by here. !

A quick and easy order to grab your fav pastries and coffee. I prefer going to this Camino location rather than the main downtown one in my opinion 'cause it's less stressful finding parking, quaint and quiet, and it's closer to Old Salem where I stroll around the area. There's plenty of indoor/outdoor seating and I love seeing the local art around the shop. The baristas there are also welcoming and chill. My usual go to coffee orders: -hazelnut or vanilla cappuccino -iced coffee - any of their seasonal drinks (be on the lookout for that!)

This is a small place with a limited amount of seating, inside and out, street parking, sort of worn and shabby - serving up pastries, exotic coffee products, etc - in other words a hipster magnet! And though there is only street parking there seems to be plenty within a block or so. I picked up a piece of Pumpkin Bread, a Blackberry Tart, and a Strawberry and Cream Cheese pastry - cost was $13 and change. All were very, very good, with the tart especially good. The strawberry pastry was good, but there was very, very little filling - would not order this style pastry again. Ambiance - 3 Food - 4.5 Service - 4 ( no table service) Value - 3.5

I came to Camino's several years ago and was unfortunately disappointed. The staff was rude and unwelcoming, my hot drink was barely warm (the staff rolled their eyes at me when I asked to have it heated), my muffin was dry, and everything was overpriced - the vibe was BLAH at best. I was meeting a friend for a coffee the other day and she wanted to go to Camino. Since it had been a few years, I was open to giving it another try and I am so glad I did! They have changed - in all the best ways! The space is open and welcoming. The staff are friendly. The baked goods and treats were fresh. The drink was hot and tasty. I am always looking for great cafe spaces to bring my laptop and work for the day with a tasty treat and drink and Camino is back on the list! It's a convenient spot for me and I am thrilled it has changed to a place where I could spend a few comfy hours.

Great coffee! They offer seasonal specials which I took advantage of. There is plenty of indoor seating and tables outside also. Every month they feature a local artist work for sale and to view. The service was polite and quick!

Solid spot for coffee and pastries. Very good parking and different option from downtown. There was a pretty long line when entered but the two employees did a solid job of handling it without being overwhelmed or taking long. I appreciate the tea option, which was really good. Their everything croissant was alright, wish it was fresher or warmed up - ended up not being flaky but more doughy. Park in the lot or the road, has outdoor seating available.

always enjoy stopping by camino! all of the staff are super friendly and accommodating. i love that they have a seasonal menu (although it is hard when they don't have that one thing that you really loved!!!) and enjoy getting to try new things. i'm not a huge coffee person but some of the creations have really made me question if that's true.

A quaint spot on the corner of a street. The feel is in-and-out of getting your order quick and either having it on the go or enjoy it in the seating area in the back or outside. My latte was delicious and I like the seasonal menu. My pastry was a bit on the dryer side but overall I like offerings without trying to go to their downtown location.

I really enjoyed the blueberry fruit Danish and Capuchino. One of the best in Winston-Salem and must try!

They brew Methodical coffee that's roasted in Greenville SC and it was very good. They didn't have decaf on drip so I got an americano and it didn't disappoint! There were some empty tables inside on a Friday morning, but the outdoor patio was full

Start with glass cups Service OK Nothing more No ambience Prefer the other location on 4th str

Hands down one of my absolute favorite places to go. I've been coming here since grad school when I lived really far away and the consistency in their coffee as well as their food has never changed. I absolutely love their magical syrup, and when I went decaf, I had no problem getting my needs accommodated. I absolutely love their San Francisco sourdough! The bread, coffee and pastries are always fresh. As a native New Yorker- the everything bagel and croissants are a hit! 10/10 everytime!

Cute and cozy coffee shop with scrumptious baked goods and great Counter Culture coffee. Stopped in on an early Saturday morning for a pick me up on the way to our next destination. We were greeted upon arrival by a friendly barista. We perused the baked goods display. I chose a blueberry lemon scone that was gluten free and my husband got a cinnamon roll. I got a oat milk latte and my husband got a cold brew. The coffees were both great. We love Counter Culture coffee. The scone was DELICIOUS. The consistency was great. Not too crumbly, especially for gluten free. The flavor was great too. A lot of times scones are drying and lacking flavor but this one got it just right. My husband scarfed down his cinnamon roll so fast that I didn't get a photo, but that's probably a testament to how great it was. We might have to make this a Saturday morning routine!

This is a great place to stop for a coffee if you're near downtown. This is probably my favorite of all their locations. It's a great place to knock out some work and/or study.

I stopped by for a coffee this morning with my golden doodle dog. I noted the sign on the door saying "no pets". No problem. I picked up my 18 pound dog, stuck my head in the door for 30 seconds to order and pay, then waited outside for the coffee. Over the next 20 minutes I kept waiting and waiting as at least 20 people came and went with their coffees ahead of me, even though they were behind my order. Uncomfortable tying my dog up outside on a busy street, I finally went inside a final time to ask about my coffee. The punchline - although the staff denied it - they were purposely back listing my order behind every new customer arrival, apparently having taken umbrage that I had originally ordered with dog in my arms from just inside the store's doorway! And if I have this wrong about their motivations, then 20 minutes for a latte is still deplorable service. Great coffee, deplorable service.

Camino Bakery Brookstown is located right beside Old Salem and has a storefront that you cannot miss. This location welcomes their customers with the aroma with freshly baked goods and perfectly roasted coffee beans. Compared to the downtown location, the Brookstown Camino boasts a cozy atmosphere with pastel paintings on the walls and more than enough tables and chairs for their customers. Their Matcha Latte has a fairly strong flavor of matcha, and you honestly can't go wrong with their danishes or muffins. WORTH IT? YES, this location is much cuter and cozier than the downtown location! (Overall 7.5/10)

Came into Caminos for the first time at their Marshall St location It was a little hard getting into the parking lot but I am so glad they have one! I walked in and was greeted right away! it's a clean and warm environment! They have coffee, teas, baked desserts, and bread. I picked up their dirty chai and cheese danish! The chai was good but I wish that it had a little more spice but that's how I like it. Hopefully, when I come back for some of their delicious-looking bread they can kick the spice up a notch. The cheese danish was yummy I will get that again, They make everything in-house and they said there are three locations in Winston's. I definitely will be back! Thanks for the great service!

The last time I was here prior to today was in 2020 when it was curbside and I remember it being very good. Today was my first time being inside. The parking lot is just a tad too small for how popular they are on a Saturday morning but I was able to park on the street. The ordering area again is probably fine when they aren't busy but they are really busy right now so it felt extremely cramped. I ordered a peppermint latte with whole milk, a fruit danish, and a gluten free blonde as a gift to someone. I was handed the danish immediately but the latte I had to wait about 10-12 minutes for. When I received my drink. I couldn't find any open seating inside so I sat outside it's a little chilly. The danish was delicious and was blueberry heavy which was fine with me. Everyone who worked here is nice. The latte.. as I was typing this I spectacularly spilled my latte everywhere and they were so sweet cleaning it up for me outside and getting me a new drink. Despite having to wait for like ten minutes for my drink I'm going to give five stars because they could've just let me clean up my latte myself and not given me a new one. Next time I'm in town I will definitely be back but probably at A less busy time

Great bread, good coffee, but both the cashier and the barista seemed way more interested in the regular's hipster t-shirt than answering the questions of the two customers in front of him.

Delicious pastries, lovely coffee, and perfect vibe. Camino has been an oasis for many, and a landing spot for great coffee conversions over the years. Cheers to years more. I've always liked counter culture coffee. Nice to see it in Winston. They have it all.

I've been coming to Camino since I moved to Winston in 2017 and they are still my favorite coffee shop. I always look forward to the seasonal menus as they are released every few months. Today I've gotten a usual favorite, a sticky bun. It truly is everything I want in a sticky bun, especially with the flaky pasty and pecans. I've also gotten a new favorite from the seasonal menu, an iced oatmeal cookie latte. Made with the house made golden raisin and magical syrups, this drink has the perfect balance of sweetness to go with the espresso and oat milk. I'll definitely be getting it as long as it's available! The last item I chose today was something new! A savory garlic bread pudding. It is delicious and flavorful and I hope to see it again soon. As always, the baristas were so friendly, quick and helpful. I love the relaxed energy overall and even though I often get my items to go, I always enjoy my time visiting and do so often. There's a reason they're a staple here in Winston.

iced latte was okay. i got an oatmeal cookie latte from their specials. Sticky bun was delicious and they had a microwave accessible so i could warm it up! I will be back to try more pastries since this little shop is on the way to washington dog park, they have competition across the street as well, another coffee shop.

I really enjoyed Camino Brookstown! I chose this place after searching on Ig and the corner bakery caught my eye! It was cute, quaint and delicious. The coffee shop has a parking lot in the back and then it also had street parking! Which was great. There is a door access the coffee shop from the back and then there is the front door where the beautiful black stone is located. When I walked in I was greeted by one of the baristas. He was really nice. My husband needed to change is clothes so he used their bathroom to change! The space isn't very big at all but there outdoor seating for extra seats. I ordered the French toast latte, it was yummy, my husband had a coffee and my son had a martinelli's Apple juice which is ALWAYS delicious. Overall this place was cool and I was able to get some awesome photos.

This bakery should be embarrassed with the shoddy work they produce. My best friend got a cake from here to thank her coworkers after getting recommendations on where to get a cake. She paid $60 for a complete joke. I don't know who writes on the cakes here, but she wanted "Thank You" on it. What she actually got (photo attached) is "Thanks You." Really?! I literally can't even. When brought to the attention of the employee working, the employee insisted repeatedly that it was spelled correctly. How is "Thanks You" correct?! Apparently, they teach a different version of English here. My friend left to fix the cake herself, which is completely unacceptable. This bakery should have fixed it IMMEDIATELY and apologized for THEIR mistake. My friend should have not had to leave distressed to fix the cake. She should have received what she paid for! To top it off, the cake was missing a freaking raspberry. It was nowhere to be found, and there's only one place it could have been - which is in the box. My friend had to go to the grocery store to replace it. Utterly ridiculous. Not to mention, the spacing between the frosting/raspberries was atrocious. They were not AT ALL spaced evenly. Once again, see attached photo. I cannot understand why this place is so recommended because their craftsmanship is horrifying. A cake from the grocery store would have been better looking and cheaper! If you want a cake that looks like a kid did it, this place is for you. Overall: 1/5 Food: 1/5 Service: 1/5 Atmosphere: 1/5

Love this spot so much. All the amazingness that is Caminos but not as busy and crowded as the other downtown location. Always smells amazing and free bread samples so their iced basil latte quite literally gives me life. And I'm near depression that it will be off the menu soon as they switch to their fall menu. Luckily for me all the drinks I have tried are delicious. The staff are so nice and friendly at Brookstown. Love y'all

I have been going to Camino for years. First the one on 4th Street, and now mostly to this location. I like that they have a parking lot, which makes it easier to get in and out. It also is just the right location for me to get to and grab a coffee and get back to work on my 30 minute lunch break. I am now working from home and it is farther, but now my boyfriend gets to run pick it up for me in the mornings to make my day that much better! There hours have changed since the pandemic started, but now you can order online and pick it up curbside, which is great for those of us who run out in our pj's. I have some favorite drinks. I am one of those people who don't care for hot drinks, and I like my drinks sweet. So I go between the iced chai (heavy on chai with extra vanilla) or the magical iced coffee with extra magic. Their sticky buns and cinnamon rolls are amazing. When they have the marble pound cake or the lemon blueberry loaf, I usually get those, since they're seasonal. As a matter of fact, this is how I start out my morning any time I am a little tired or just want a special treat. (I definitely had Camino the day before and the day of my birthday! I was pleasantly surprised that they were open on New Year's Day, since many places aren't.) Their consistency and the lovely people that work there keep me coming back for more.

Good coffee, bad service. Always seems like they're doing you a favor by serving you coffee. Took 14 minutes to get 2 lattes. Coffee was perfect, though and croissant was delicious as usual.

Well, it took almost 20 minutes with 3 people behind the counter making one drink at a time. My 16 ounce Breve cost $7 with a $1 tip, for what service? They didn't even bother to say hello or thank you. Sorry I bothered driving just to visit Camino Bakery Brookstone.

Pros: Amazing pastries and bread, delicious meat-free quiches and sandwiches, and yummy coffee. Friendly staff and environmentally-friendly business with a bin for composting and compostable straws, etc. Indoor and outdoor seating. Cons: none. If there's a long line, get in it and know that you'll be rewarded for waiting and navigating the small space by the counter as whatever you order will be worth it!

Camino continues to impress with their seasonal menus and well-trained baristas. Their fresh (and discounted day-old) bread is amazing and a perfect complement to any meal. The summer coconut cooler and herb cheddar scone are my seasonal faves right now!

My latte was good. My quiche was served ice cold. When I took it back to the counter to ask about it, I was told they are not allowed to heat it because it contains dairy. She then pointed to a small microwave in the corner and said I could heat it myself if I wanted. "You'll need to heat it 3 to 4 minutes," she said. Fortunately I took it out after 45 minutes. It was hot and tasty. The breads looked fantastic. I've just never been served quiche I've cold before.

Love the latest location of Camino. The food, coffee, and service are just as good as the original location. Today I had a mocha and sticky bun. I love that they make their own syrups which makes the mocha taste amazing. I have never had the sticky bun before and I was glad I finally tried it. They load it with tons of pecans and the right amount of sweetness. Now I have yet another reason to the spend lots of time in the Brookstown area.

I don't know who the kids running the counter (today) are but when they're not staring blankly at their phones and forgetting to even ring you up, they're making pretty bad coffee. Used to come here a lot...

If you were rating them on smells alone, they'd certainly be a five! Well smells isn't what you rate, and with the cluster that Camino seems to always be, a two is certainly the earned star rating here! I never liked this place with the previous tenant due to the incredibly small interior. There simply is no room to stand while waiting for your coffee since a large portion of the small interior is taken up with a couple of tables. If people continue to come in, you're seemingly left to dance around the interior to allow someone in the door. The service can be slow if there is 8-10 people inside ordering as they really can't handle more than two people behind the counter. They may have not been able to change anything inside from the previous tenant, but that seems to be the same issues customers faced then too. On the positive side, the homemade breads are scrumptious and the coffee is from a local brewer that has a fabulous coffee! I'd simply recommend that you go in the spring or summer when you can sit outside to avoid being annoyed by people bumping into your table like I annoyed people sitting at their table!

I love this location! They have all the cute little touches with the Camino shell logo everywhere. The drinks are great. My friend and I each got one of the non-coffee drinks. I forget their names, but some summer teas. We loved both of them so much! Really great concoctions with so much flavor! The prices are reasonable. There is seating inside, but even some cute tables outside, if you can snag one in the shade! I even ordered a fresh baked bread to go. I love that this little corner of heaven isn't exactly downtown, without the need of paying to park. It was more low key and chill.

Good location and parking. Inside the coffee shop smells strange, the floor is dirty, the seating is worse than a seating area at a derelict train station. The desserts lack appeal, and overall just a dull ambiance and lack of character. Would not be returning.

The service here is wonderful--the workers are very kind and happy, but I paid around 4 dollars for a cinnamon roll just for it to be flavorless and bland. It wasn't my money's worth at all, but I do appreciate how nice the workers are.

Love this newer location! It's quaint & cute. I like that there's a parking lot right outside as well. I spent hours here getting work done. It's a good place to work or just hang out! Really friendly staff. And of course, the best coffee.

SO ANGRY!!! They have NO carb options AT ALL. They didn't think to even let anyone know up front. Inexplicably, they just decided to NOT to have ANYTHING ALL FALL!!!!! I am diabetic!!!!!

Had a lovely time sitting on the patio drinking an iced coffee. I wish I could give more stars, but I just don't think the coffee drinks are that good. Plain coffee is delicious, but every time I've tried to get something different (latte, hot chocolate, etc.), I've been really disappointed. The baked goods are hit-or-miss as well for me, often being really dry. Stick to regular coffee and you'll love it.

Such great coffee and treats! And the bread!! Such delicious bread, I can't get enough. The staff here will always put a smile on your face and are always excited to assist customers. There's nothing better than a hot apple spice and a chocolate coconut scone to go. Definitely worth a try. Covid safety measures are in place. There's outside seating for when the weather is nice!

I don't understand the low rating for this location? If you like the other Camino, this location is WAY better. Downtown Camino is almost always packed and impossible to find seating or concentrate on work. This one may be slightly smaller but it's also much quieter so you're chance at a table is much higher. Everything else is exactly the same. Hipster everything, delicious coffee, and sweets. The bad reviews need to get over themselves

Great spot with a "sweet" array of pastries along with hearty breads. And even sweeter yet were Maggie and Kate who rocked an excellent macchiato, and helped me to start to get a sense of the neighborhood vibe. Grazie mille.

The almond horn was delicious and the Spring coffee specials were great. Friendly staff and nice patio to sit on and enjoy.
