Camouflage Dave’s Jerky Shop and More

Camouflage Dave’s Jerky Shop and More brings a specialty food angle to Ormond Beach’s retail scene from its spot in a small suite on South Nova Road, an unusual and memorable addition to the city’s shopping options. As the name promises, jerky is the centerpiece of the shop, but the “and more” is not just a tagline, since the store shares its space with Maria’s Key Lime Pies & Cafe, tucked in the back of the shop.

That pairing means a visit to Camouflage Dave’s can turn into more than a quick jerky run, with customers able to pick up key lime pie, coffee, hot dogs, and other cafe items in the same stop. A five star customer rating on file backs up the shop’s reputation among regulars, who clearly appreciate the combination of specialty snacks and a casual place to grab a bite.

The shop keeps a six day a week schedule, open from 11 AM to 8 PM Monday through Saturday and closed on Sundays, hours that lean into both lunch and early evening traffic on South Nova Road. Its suite location within a small retail building is easy to miss from the road, making it more of a spot locals know about than one that draws much passing tourist traffic.

For a distinctly local combination of beef jerky, key lime pie, and casual cafe fare, Camouflage Dave’s Jerky Shop and More on South Nova Road offers something genuinely different from the boutiques and antique shops that make up most of Ormond Beach’s specialty retail. It is worth seeking out for anyone who wants a taste of something a little unexpected.

Because Camouflage Dave’s sits in a small suite within a larger retail building on South Nova Road, it is easy to drive past without noticing, making it more of a spot regulars seek out deliberately than one that draws casual passing traffic. Its combination with Maria’s Key Lime Pies & Cafe in the back of the store means a visit can turn into a sit-down stop rather than a quick in-and-out errand. For anyone exploring South Nova Road’s mix of small independent shops, Camouflage Dave’s stands out as one of the more distinctive, food-focused stops on the corridor.

Specialty food shops that pair an unusual product, in this case jerky, with a full cafe operation tend to draw a devoted, word-of-mouth following rather than casual browsers, since customers generally have to already know the combination exists before seeking it out. That kind of loyal local following is reflected in the shop’s strong customer rating, a sign that regulars appreciate both the jerky selection and the cafe fare enough to keep coming back.
