Tamper! Coffee & Lunch

A real hidden gem a bit out of busy street along the way to old Lille. Really lovely Owner and FANTASTIC coffee. Brilliant food is a bonus. I definitely recommend and would come back only even for the service! thank you!

Excellent coffee! They take great care in preparing the drinks and the food quality is very high! Flavour profile notes are phenomenal, clearly retaining the oils in the origin of the beans and roasting to optimise those.

Great coffee place to sit and drunk. One of the best coffees I had in lille and reasonably priced. Nice place to sit aswell and the barista was kind and helpful. I would come here if you want a good coffee and a nice place to sit wither inside or out.

Average (would go with 3.5* if I could) as (1) a bit expensive (2.5 EUR for a single espresso, this feels like Paris prices!) and (2) doesn’t know how to make a macchiato (it should be a “stain” of milk on top of an espresso, so very little milk; not half espresso/half milk!). Good coffee though, and friendly staff.

Tamper Espresso Bar has the best coffee in the Vieux Lille area, with a very central location and both indoor and outdoor eating options. Highly recommend it for fellow specialty coffee snobs!

We had to wait outside for 15 min. because it was full. This was no problem for us and it was worth the wait. It’s a small espresso bar with limited tables, but it gives cozy living room vibes. The staff was really nice and are able to speak fairly good English. We had the avoc toast and eggslut which were really tasty. Would definitely recommend to go here if you want a nice lunch!

This is a little hidden gem. Nit only do they play 79s and 80s rock, but Tamper also has excellent coffee, nicely served. Moreover, the lunch menu is amazingly good food. Will definitively come back.

A lovely place for lunch. It was a little crowded on Saturday, but we got in within 20-25 minutes. They did seat people who got there after us, so that was a tad annoying. But the food and drink made up for. And the all staff is genuinely so nice. The matcha latte was so so good, with oat milk it's so creamy. The shakshuka was also really good and flavorful. I really would come back again.

A cute little local coffee place! If I would live in Lille, I would definitely go there a lot :) It is very comfy and the waitress was very friendly!

Very yummy brekky! I opted for the Banana Bread and my fiancé chose the Yoghurt Honey and Muesli. Overall really scrumptious and the coffee is fabulous. The decor is beautiful and the staff are very friendly. We ate at Tamper! for breakfast and the only thing I'd say that I would've like would be some savoury options. The breakfast menu is very sweet and although very tasty it would be nice to have a mix. Perhaps Avocado on toast? Something like that. I'd definitely come back, the coffee is beautiful, the food is great and the staff are lovely!

Best coffee we found in Lille, good location, quirky design, nice staff. We had breakfast, chocolate brioche, savoury scones and smoked salmon. All excellent. Larger menu later in the day. Definite recommendation.

Very nice terrace in a cosy neighbourhood. Service is slow but very friendly. They're specialised in different kinds of slow coffee. The breakfast is very fresh and tasty. I really recommend this place!

Nice place, good atmosphere, americAn stile... Good chai latte! Love it . Thanks guys , keep it up ....

I've been going to this place weekly since I've moved to Lille. It is nothing short of fantastic. The owners are incredibly nice and accommodating, the coffee is absolutely top notch (with a daily rotating roast!), the pastries are to DIE for, the turntable always plays the perfect mood music, and so on and so on and so on... By far my favorite café in Lille, Tamper leans a little more to the American/Canadian style of faire, thus there are a fair amount of expats floating around in here. And for good reason. It does away with the typical, cold French style and service and just puts forward a warm, welcoming, and genuine face that reminds me of a good cozy corner café chez-nous. Prices are a hair higher than normal, but the quality is equitably superior. It does get busy throughout the day and can get a little cramped, but take that as a sign that the secret is out and you're surrounded by good company. Bref, Tamper kicks ass!

I had the brunch last Sunday and I loved it. It was huge: brioche, bread, 1 starter (a roasted peppers pannacotta), a main (chicken tajine), a dessert (carrot cake), an excellent tea and a lemon juice. i was also inexpensive (17€!). The staff is lovely. Location is great, the place is very bright and cozy. I definitely recommend it. As a suggestion, I'd love to come back and get vegetarian/no dairy options.

We loved the chocolat pie and banana bread! Lovely and cosy place and friendly people.

Excellent coffee and food. Friendly staff and great relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended for breakfast or lunch - or both.
