Camp 4 Coffee was born from a love of mountains, adventure, and great coffee. Nestled in the heart of Crested Butte, Colorado, this local gem roasts all its beans by hand, in small batches, with care and craftsmanship. Founded by Al Smith, whose boundless energy and passion for coffee are as strong as the brew itself, Camp 4 has become a beloved part of the community. From roasting to pouring, every cup reflects the dedication of a tight-knit team of baristas, roasters, and kitchen crew who make sure each sip tastes like mountain inspiration.

The name Camp 4 Coffee was inspired by Yosemite’s legendary Camp 4, where climbers gather for warmth, camaraderie, and courage before heading for the summit. That same spirit lives on in Crested Butte, where locals and visitors, skiers, bikers, dreamers, and doers come together over a cup of Camp 4 coffee to share stories and smiles. Since 1993, Al and his crew have been fueling this mountain town with handcrafted coffee and a welcoming vibe that feels like home, no matter how high you’ve climbed.
