Pretty hard to find a decent cup in France but these guys hit the hammer on the head. Cute decoration and a variety of homemade cakes and other stuff. The sandwiches are premade, but I guess that's customary in France. We had one that was just made that minute and it was so tasty. Very friendly also.

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!

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!

The owners don't speak in english and it is quite umpleasant to see them pointing you without knowing if it's friendly or not, especially when the customers turn towards us. Ultimately me and my customers were not comfortable and left after eating this ridiculously expensive dish. I did not find the warm welcome as I had read in Google maps.
