Tamper Coffee - Sheffield

I recently visited the restaurant with some friends and a baby. It was extremely busy and we were seated at a table that didn't have enough space for a high chair without obstructing the staff carrying hot food and drinks. I had requested a high chair when booking, so I was disappointed with this arrangement and had to hold the baby on our laps instead. There was also no assistance offered in getting the stroller up/down the large step or through the difficult door, which was unfortunate. Despite these challenges, the food was excellent, so I would consider returning without the baby next time.

We visited today with our son and fiancée as they had been in the past, and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent, and the place had a really nice ambience. We will definitely be back.

Excellent food and drink were amazing. Was really, really impressed (if slightly pricey). Would definitely come again.

I visited this restaurant for the first time based on a recommendation and I was not let down. My group of four ordered different dishes and we were all very impressed. The menu had a variety of interesting options, the coffee was excellent, and the service was friendly. I hope to return to Sheffield soon so I can dine here again!

Close your eyes as you go into Tamper and then open them to find you've been transported across the planet. They have elegantly captured the look and feel of Kiwi coffee culture for you to enjoy in fairly central Sheffield. If you know what to expect then you can probably skip the rest of this review. For the uninitiated however, you can expect excellent coffee and a truly innovative food menu in a very stylish but laid back cafe format. I would highly recommend the Turkish eggs the description may sound a little unusual to Western diners but it just works....brilliantly. Whilst it's a novel experience there is some room for improvement. Service, at times, goes beyond laid back and can feel non existent we had to practically beg to pay, even though the lunchtime rush had subsided and the place really wasn't that busy. Furthermore, the seating and tables are not as comfortable as you might like so sitting around for a long time waiting could feel like a bit of a trial. Overall though, I'd highly recommend Tamper and my visit evoked some welcome nostalgia.
