This is super cute community coffee shop in the heart of downtown Alexandria. Don't over look this gem ! I passed by twice before deciding to stop. I had wonderful Banana Cream Italian soda and Asiago bagel, there were so many interesting flavors to choose from to flavor your sodas and coffees and Incant wait to hear back and try the Maple flavor once fall hits the south. There are several chain coffee shops in outlying area and not much to speak of in the somewhat run down downtown area but don't let that fool you this is a vibrant coffee shop with everything a good coffee shop should have... good coffee, good service and a true feeling of community. There were tables of studying students, locals having breakfast with lots of lively conversation and a generous menu of coffee, teas, Italian sodas and breakfast and snack items such as the ever popular avocado toast to bagels, cookies and bars. If you're close to Alexandria don't miss Tamp & Grind. read more
