Soak in the ambiance at Tempest Coffee Collective

Tucked away by the Fox River, Tempest Coffee Collective has a relaxing atmosphere. Inside you will find artwork on the walls and plants scattered around to create the perfect Instagram post aesthetic. During the warmer months, the patio is open so you can enjoy the fresh air while munching on your food. 

I have been coming to Tempest for a few years now and this has easily become one of my favorite coffee shops to work from. All the staff is friendly and easy to talk to. They keep the space lively with Indie music often playing in the background. 

Near the register, there is often a variety of pastries from Thunderbird Bakery to choose from with unique flavors. One of my favorites is the Earl Grey Scone. Some menu recommendations I have are the Lox & Rye which is Violet Rye, house-cured salmon, soft boiled egg, mustard-dill sauce and shaved red onion or the Dixie Dawn which is a buttermilk waffle sandwich with a fried egg, bacon and aged white cheddar.

Tempest’s coffee is sourced from Washington-based Olympia Coffee Roasting Co., which is a certified B Corporation company. Try the Lavender Honey Latte or the Lava Salt Latte if you want to add a little sweetness to your day. The pour-overs are always my go-to item on the coffee menu.
