Tamp & Grind

Was in town for business, hotel coffee is terrible. Stopped by this cozy Cafe and picked up a delicious Mocha Grinder (frozen mocha capacino). Will definitely be back tomorrow!

When they can afford it, they should try expanding somehow, they're almost too popular for their own good!
Aside from that, a wonderful experience. The staff was helpful (she was happy to talk about the different kinds of home made tea they had), the artwork is clever and nice, and the music was great

My friend and I were looking for an off-beat coffee shop in Alexandria. We stumbled upon Tamp & Grind, very interesting place! The outside is a hippie oasis, and the inside follows suit. Lots of art inside, and you can find books to read and people working on their laptops. We enjoyed our coffee. My friend grabbed a muffin and said it was tasty. We would definitely go back if we are in the area!

This place is awesome. Be patient with ordering. Takes a little time for specialty drinks. Great atmosphere and friendly batista. Most are very knowledgeable and willing to take time to brew your perfect coffee of choice

Tamp & grind is always welcoming. Everytime I go in there I am greeted by a friendly face and a smile. Their coffee is delicious and they have a great selection of teas that you can mix and match flavors you want! If you haven't been then count yourself as missing out.

Nice quaint little shop that serves a wide variety of people from old to young. We meet year once or twice a yet for a group get together. Plenty to do here, games and such for everyone. I love how they repurpose things to use as tables. If you have never been you need to add this to your list of places to visit in Downtown Alexandria.

The ambience is great. The tables are a lovely mix of cozy and conducive to laptop piddling. The tea selection is fantabulous. Oh! and eavesdropping on other customers is a pleasant intellectual reprieve from the typical grunting and posturing that you find in this general area.

...but it's freezing in here!

Ambience in place was good. However coffee was tasteless. Person making coffee had an attitude. Will not go there again.

What a great little coffee shop! The service was great. Even though they were busy, there was plenty of room to sit and the atmosphere was quiet and soothing. Our family rates the coffee 5 out of 5 stars.

Today while taking graduation pictures, my parents and I went to visit Tamp & Grind. The coffee was the best that I have ever had. I had ordered the "roasted hazelnut latte," I definitely recommend it. The lady even did a nice leaf design on the coffee.
