Tamper Room

"(LOCATION) The local coffee shop, situated in Pacific Commons shopping center, has an artistic ambiance with a variety of souvenirs, including drawings, stickers, books and etc. While there's plenty free parking in the crowded plaza, arriving early is advisable. (WAIT TIME) During my visit at 1:35 pm on a Thursday, the tables were fully occupied, but the coffees and croffle were served in under 10 minutes. The presentation of all items used was top-notch. (FOOD) Opting for an unsweetened Matcha latte with warm whole milk, I was pleased that it had no grassy taste. Despite the unavailability of yam jam for the popular ube croffle, it remained delightful. (More Yam Jam next time, please). The ube custard with the croffle was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. (SERVICE) The friendly staff patiently waited as I decided on my order, enhancing the positive experience. They ask for your name when you place your order, allowing you the freedom to explore the artistic souvenirs."

"This place is so cute! It is as if etsy met a coffeshop and had a baby. They have a wall of featured artists and their products that is nice eye candy. I am not a big coffee drinker, so I only like coffee drinks that... dont taste like coffee... and these drinks were less sweet, less fragrant, and slightly more bold/heavy than what I go for. But the drinks werent as bitter or burnt tasting as starbucks to me. The staff is very friendly and courteous too. Plus... latte art!"

"Very small cafe, very small seatings, but the menu items are quite unique because they sell croffles, which is basically croissant and waffle mixed together. I never tried those before, and want to see what they taste like. They taste how I would describe them. There are items at the display where you can purchase them. Items are basically art and other accessories designed by other people. You may need to ask the staff if you want one of them. There is WiFi and you can simply scan in the QR code at the register to automatically connect to it. Otherwise, you can just manually connect it through your phone or other device settings."

"A generous 3 stars review: I came here with my sisters because of a friend’s recommendation. We were super excited because this place is known for supporting small businesses who make lots of cute merch. Atmosphere- 4 stars: I have been finding the feeling of enjoying some snacks and drink in an art gallery - modern, sophisticated. This place gives me some of that vibe. Service - 3 stars: There was not much interaction with the staffs but they’re doing their job decently and order came out quickly. They also give me heads up that my tea needed to be steeped for several minutes, which was nice. Foods and drinks- 2 stars (would give 3 if less pricey): We ordered peppermint mocha, hot chocolate, rose oolong iced tea and an egg salad croffle. Peppermint mocha was under-flavored but ok ($6), hot chocolate was very watered down ($4), rose oolong was great (forgot price), and the savory croffle was decent but oh boy it’s one portion for $11. To cap off, this place is for people who seek a rather unique atmosphere and not care much about pricing nor consistency of drinks quality. Ideal for studying, small groups, couples, pet friendly, or indeed in need of a unique dorky sticker for your Hydro flasks."
