Is it just me or is Camel Coffee overhyped as hell. I got their signature and their matcha and I’m just wondering why there’s always crazy lines.
For their signature drink, the orange is what really kills it. The mocha flavor with the orange is super extreme.
Would love to hear some other opinions about what you guys order here or if I’m just sokhne something wrong lol

I mean it’s literally a latte I don’t know what you expected. I don’t think any coffee shop in the world is necessarily worth waiting for if you’re just coming for the drink. It’s hype because of the ambiance/vibe and it’s popular in Korea. I went a couple months ago on a random weekday and there was no line.
Highlight has a way better orange vanilla latte.
…don’t do this, fam.
Mid, IG hype
Just go to a nearby Coffee Bean if you feel the need to rant about coffee being too hype’d.
I think it’s an interesting twist on coffee, and any overhyping is due to the nature of “hype” these days and not Camel’s fault. If their stuff was an item at any of the eighty-seven coffee shops on Hillhurst, it would be a hit on its own merits. I’m just happy a business is surviving in that spot.
I think they make the best vegan cream coffee in town. I highly recommend trying their signature camel coffee with vegan cream. It’s tiny (I believe the size of their cup is 6 oz), but the ratio between espresso (2 shots), vegan cream and almond milk tastes heavenly.
