Tamper Specialty Coffee - Madison, Mississippi

Caitlyn B. K

Super modern high quality unique coffee shop is finally in Mississippi! I thought I was in major metropolitan city like London and New York! Love that I can have great tasting specialty coffee with latte art! Seating area is spacious and private with booths! Loved interior design, love quality drink choices at perfect temperature and love the variety of choices available for food! I will be frequenting this coffee shop to read books there! ( pictures show Spanish latte, tamper matcha, piccolo, cortado, macarons, blueberry muffin, all very yummy)

Stopped by Tamper yesterday to try their coffee with my husband. 5/5recommend!!

I haven’t found lattes as good as the ones I’ve had in my Japan/South Korean living except for a place in CO and now TSC is up there with them. ☕️

Firstly, you can tell they care about quality & single origin sourcing above all else and you can taste it! It truly makes a difference, & TSC if you don’t compete in coffee competitions - you should start lol.

The recs: The Raf & V60. The Raf is an amazing fall latte special and it’s like drinking a warm hug in a mug. The V60 is divine. I actually grind and brew my own V60 at home and it’s a damn good cup coffee. Try them, you won’t be disappointed!

We didn’t try the food so we’re not sure how that is, but their case looked like it had some good options.

The inside: It’s very Japandi Industrial aesthetic, though it could use just a little bit more warmth impo. The lighting is a bit harsh, tone it down with some warmer bulbs or a different hue and it will feel a little warmer and inviting. The decor and beverage delivery is 10/10 though. Overall though a great spot to work, catch up, and meetings.

Please expand if you can in the future, Mississippi and beyond need more quality coffee establishments like yours. Thanks for serving us! Will be back! ☕️?

Definitely one of the best coffee shops in the area! I travel to jackson often for work from Atlanta, and this cafe reminds me of Atlanta quality coffee. The 10oz latte has two shots of espresso by default which is a standard that I am accustomed to, which is not true for MANY cafes in ridgeland/madison. What’s even more impressive is that you can choose between three beans for a drink that best suits your taste. The interior has a modern and clean aesthetic. I will be frequenting this shop from now on!

Stopped in to this new coffee shop — one of the best experiences in terms of coffee, knowledge, options, and aesthetics I’ve ever had in Jackson/Madison area. This shop reminds me of the shops that I frequented in London. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Helped make recommendation based on what flavor profile I was looking for.

Also! Finally an upscale coffee place that has ample seating! And that it is all aesthetically pleasing.

Pastries are from renowned Jackson patisserie La Brioche — which are very good!

Only negative to the whole experience was being given a plastic fork instead of a metal one to eat my pastry. It felt just like it didn’t match the rest of the experience. Moving to metal forks for the in house experience would be a good move to make the whole vibe.

Amazing quality coffee!
Happened to stop here on a roadtrip. I had a basic vanilla latte with their Brazilian beans and its prob the best vanilla latte ive had. Ive never been asked what type of bean I want so that was cool. Wish i could visit here more often. Absolutely delicious

Have been on multiple occasions and we are grateful a shop like Tamper is located in Madison.

PROS: No frills, high quality coffee. Coffee purists will appreciate the sourcing and selection of the coffee. The stoneware presentation of the coffee is also really unique as well. Love the expanded late evening hours that many other coffee shops in the area don’t offer. Appreciate the pre-portioned water carafes that are freely available for customers to use.

CONS: The wifi connection is usually spotty at best and you can’t rely on having a consistent wifi connection available if you come in to work and study. The staff usually doesn't offer any options to fix the wifi situation when asked. The AC air vents also blast cold air directly at a lot of the tables and couches at all times. This makes a lot of the seating areas absolutely MISERABLE to sit at. We’ve started to avoid coming here because of these issues.

Overall, we want to love this coffee shop and if the issues with the temperature control and wifi were fixed, it would make a huge difference. Hoping these are corrected in the future so we can support this local business and rely on this shop as a regular spot to enjoy coffee while studying and working.

This place is truly a gem! The atmosphere, the service, and the coffee...all top tier! Tamper is the perfect coffee date spot, complete with intimate booths, gorgeous decor, and beautifully crafted coffee/espresso drinks. I can't remember the name of the drink I had. But it was espresso based with ginger and cinnamon ...divine! They have 3 different beans to choose from prior to crafting your drink. I chose the Ethiopian. My husband isn't a coffee drinker, so he opted for the strawberry tea, which he loved. I'm happy he did because now we have a new coffee date spot. Tamper also offers a variety of pastries. We chose the monkey bread and a blueberry muffin. The muffin was very blueberry forward and moist with a great flavor. But the monkey bread was amazing! Buttery, sweet, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside with just the right hint of cinnamon. It will definitely be a part of our future orders, for sure.
And I almost forgot the service! The woman who waited on us was so sweet and patient as we decided on our order. She also was helpful in giving suggestions...all with a bright smile and kind conversation. Can't wait to return to try the "Hornet" on my next visit.

Great place to have a fantastic cup of coffee!
They have different type of single-origin beans and something for every palate.
I tried the Brazilian coffee bean and it was great. The owner and employees were all amazing and if you are in the Madison area and are looking for a truly delicious cup of coffee give it a try.
I have been to many cafes in the USA and this is one of my favorites.
