Nice atmosphere and excellent coffee. I ordered a filtered coffee and a matcha cookie, which was…read moredelicious. I had seen recommendations saying this was a calm and quiet place to enjoy a coffee, but unfortunately that wasn't my experience since it was very crowded and noisy when I visited. Still, the quality of the coffee and food made the visit worth it!

Nice coffee shop with fast service. Showed up with 15 people and was able to get coffees and…read morepastries within minutes. Very surprised how fast service was. It is like a history of coffee shop and cultural coffee shop rolled into one. First they offer, French press, syphon, drip, Italian, Espresso and other variation of coffees from around the world. Second, they have a display of coffee pots and tools on their wall as if a museum exhibition. Last, they have a coffee shop to buy your beans, pots, and cups among other things. Tasty coffee, large interior, fast and friendly service in an inviting atmosphere is always fun.

At times it is just great to go back to your hometown and rediscover the city. Viva Sara is one of…read morethose places you get easily addicted to. The interior is fantastic, offers insight into the local brewing history and has a little shop. The coffee served is how you would want it: steamy and with character. Myself, I had a cold pressing to celebrate the summer, and the taste was simply devine. Definitely a place to go back to, for a lungo, macchiato or an espresso. And yes, they have a great selection of sandwiches and patisserie too.

I've been going to this place weekly since I've moved to Lille. It is nothing short of fantastic…read more 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!
