Foodie Find: Cameron Park Coffee and Deli

Jun 28, 2016 04:53PM ● By David Norby

It’s not difficult to find a favorite dish at Cameron Park Coffee and Deli. Whether it’s the healthy açai bowls, carrot cake muffins or banh mi sandwiches—everything at the cozy café is 

 homemade, delicious and served with a side of warm hospitality from co-owners and friends Jeannie Bransford and Lona Wheeler. I recently discovered their Chile Verde Breakfast Burrito—a hearty flour tortilla filled with eggs, cheese and a bit of rice, somehow leaving room for the main star: chile verde, which took third place in a local chili competition. The pulled pork was tender, juicy, perfectly spiced and so filling that I had to box some up for later (oh darn!). Between bites, I took my palate from savory to sweet with a creamy Vanilla Latte—made from robust, direct trade beans from Rwanda. What’s more, 100 percent of proceeds from Joe Banuat’s art adorning the walls support the local food bank, while a portion of proceeds from their Sweet Angel Toffee benefit camps for children fighting cancer, and the 3Strands bracelets assist Cambodian girls and the fight against sex trafficking. In addition to a mouthwatering menu, the café serves up many things you can feel good about—philanthropy included. Cameron Park Coffee and Deli, 3161 Cameron Park Drive, Suite 106, Cameron Park. 530-350-8146, facebook.com/cameronparkcoffeeanddeli.
