Find plenty of open space to cowork with friends or solo. | Photo by WStoday
Hey, Winstonians. City Editor Kellina here. I got to visit Camino Bakery (Brookstown )'s new setup during my time downtown, and I love the new layout of the place. The coffee shop went under renovation in March. The new space feels larger and inviting. The placement of the booth is perfect for catching up with a friend or coworking, which is what I did.
The large windows make the space feel bigger, thanks to the natural lighting. The coffee shop is open daily from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
