New favourite place

Latte at Tamper

Jen and I had a few weeks of finding new places to have coffee - it was fun and we found some really interesting cafes; Cake R Us where we had Bubble Tea, and the very well hidden tea shop inside Collard and Mason where Jen had Guinness cake.

But we've stopped looking as we've found Tamper Coffee on Westfield Terrace (it used to be a record shop), unfortunately it's tiny inside (although they tell me that they are planning to expand) and getting a seat is often difficult, but so far we've managed to find somewhere to sit or perch.

It's run by a New Zealander (John) and some great staff - and makes FANTASTIC coffee!  So far I've tried latte and flat white, but I'll be trying their others too. They also serve totally awesome pies with homemade coleslaw - yum!

Since I've all but given up alcohol coffee seems to have become my drug of choice (and a coffee these days is about the same cost as a pint of beer!!), but I do limit myself to one or two a day.
