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.
