They&#8217;ll follow quickly with a second location about to open in Melissa, at 3310 Sam Rayburn Hwy. #200.<\/p>\n<p>The concept is from BaseCamp Group, a group of Nepalese natives who also own Frisco BaseCamp Restaurant and Bar, a unique Nepalese twist on a sports bar they opened in a center at 2552 Stonebrook Pkwy. #202 in March 2024, with Himalayan-style dishes like momo dumplings and mutton fried rice. They modestly call it &#8220;the best Nepalese restaurant in Frisco.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Coffee was a natural outgrowth, as it is one of their passions, says co-founder Suman Tamang. The Frisco shop is a dark and comfortable space, located next door to their BaseCamp sports bar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;ve tried many coffeehouses in the DFW area but none matched the style of the coffee we grew up with in the Himalayan area,&#8221; Tamang says. &#8220;Given the high altitudes, the texture and quality of the beans is different.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Their team is working to source beans grown in Nepal, which are exposed to cooler temperatures and a soil with higher mineral content, both of which are <a href=\"https:\/\/highestco.com\/blogs\/highest-co\/savoring-the-heights-the-unique-terroir-of-himalayan-coffee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a> to give the beans a more complex flavor. For now they are using beans from Colombia.<\/p>\n<p>Their menu includes espresso drinks \u2014 cappucinnos, lattes, and the like\u2014 as well as specialty drinks such as<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ee-ul\">\n<li>8848 Latte, named after the height of Mount Everest, with Himalayan salt<\/li>\n<li>B&amp;B, with brown sugar<\/li>\n<li>Boudha Bliss, an espresso flavored with mocha and coconut<\/li>\n<li>Dulce Maya, like an espresso and a dulce de leche combined<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Iced drinks include frappes in flavors such as pumpkin, strawberry, caramel, Oreo, vanilla and KitKat. All of their drinks are made with reduced-fat milk and are lower on sugar, with less syrup.<\/p>\n<p>They also serve bubble tea, yogurt, smoothies and ice cream. They get their baked goods from Ollio Patisserie, including croissants, muffins, pop tarts, macarons, and cookies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In Nepal coffee is a part of our lives, we have to drink it to make our body warm in high altitudes, and we drink it many times a day,&#8221; Tamang says. \u201cWe try to cater to the people that will like good coffee, not fast coffee \u2014 we want people to enjoy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new coffee shop concept north of Dallas is ready to take you to Mount Everest: Called Beans&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":303763,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,27144,1596,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,36023],"class_list":{"0":"post-303762","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-chefs","10":"tag-dallas","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa","19":"tag-vegan"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115374894949220552","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=303762"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303762\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/303763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=303762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=303762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=303762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
