I got the Iced Cuban and the sweet cold foam on top is so delicious!! It perfectly counterbalances the coffee on the bottom. You can tell that the barista knows what he’s doing!! The environment is quiet, clean and perfect for studying (even on Thanksgiving!) Highly recommend!!

I stopped in this morning for a coffee and was immediately impressed with the atmosphere and decor. It was super tidy and welcoming! I ordered the Cinnamon Irish Cream Latte and it was awesome. They also do rewards program with the stamp card - you get stamps for the first 9 coffees you purchase and get the 10th free. Will be back with friends and family!

Absolutely LOVE the environment, food, coffee, and overall aesthetic of Tamp. It's become one of my favorite study spots, and their holiday drink menu is phenomenal. I can personally vouch for the Gingerbread latte, which delivers the perfect amount of spice, warmth, and holiday cheer. Swing by and try it out yourself, and support this wonderful small business!

review has been updated... long story short they improved everything! Initial Review: It will take a bit of time for Tamp to find its niche in the area, it doesn’t have to be the best in the area to improve and to justify it’s higher prices. it just needs to be clearer on what sets it apart, it’s close to the town common, chocolates, etc…pricing is not labeled on the seasonal items and 2 ciders were $20, they were good but a little heavy on the cranberry juice. First latte i got from them was from the mason and twine trailer, oatmilk tasted like it was bottom of the carton, probably should have brought it up to them after but I was at the farmer’s market to sip and browse. Looking forward to improving this rating soon. Chocolate + Coffee seems to be what sets them apart from other Bristol cafes, they don’t serve cocoa though which I think would be a worthwhile addition to the menu. Update: no contact info was provided on the reply. So here is my reply, I checked my bank statement the total was $22.14 on November 2nd, a 20% tip was included. All I purchased was two ciders. Following the math in your reply and adding a 20% tip (after tax) would have been at a total of $18.14 so I’m not sure what happened but I hope we can figure that out for next time. Glad to know hot cocoa is an offering but I wouldn’t have known because it is not on the menu, you can see in the photos it is not listed there, I suggested to add it to the menu but if this is a negative feedback I am not sure what to tell you and I’m not sure if there is room to improve. Another suggestion, the local coffee culture is happy to have another coffee shop in the area, interesting to have an italian offering of roasted beans here, that seems to be unique to Tamp and I didn’t know that, I am not sure I believe these coffees are bigger/smaller and to be frank I don’t care, each cafe here has unique offerings and I go to each one for different reasons, if I wanted best value all the time, I’d go exclusively to sip n dip (who quite frankly makes decent lattes). The short of my question is “what makes Tamp different?” which seems to be getting confused with “what makes Tamp better/worse?” Update: 1-18-25 I just saw this updated reply from Tamp, thank you for identifying the transaction and refunding the difference. The notes on the updated menu I think will help too :) we’ll be by soon and I’ll be glad to update the review

I love coming here, not just for the great chai, but for the heart behind it. The owner always makes my dog feel welcome with a pup cup, and the staff are just as kind and attentive. Everyone knows their craft, service is fabulous and the chai and chocolate are both incredible. This place truly cares about its customers (both two- and four-legged). If you haven't checked it out, do so ASAP! This is my doggo trying to break in on Christmas Day!

Top tier coffee shop. High end decor and feel. The cappuccinos, lattes, mochas are absolutely fantastic. Good pricing. High end truffles and other chocolate treats.

This coffee is exactly what I needed. I am such a coffee snob so to say this coffee is perfection should definitely tell you how great the quality is. Not to mention the owner, Sean, is so wonderful and friendly. I have been recommending this place since the day I went in so if you are near by (or aren't...) definitely stop in!
