London W4 2EU
Another weekend walk, another coffee stop. This time it's TAMP. No. 1 Devonshire Road, W4, though you'd be forgiven for thinking that No.1 is an odd address for a site a quarter way up the street. What number Devonshire Road are the shops preceeding TAMP I wonder? A minor detail but a perplexing one nonetheless.
TAMP does the interesting mix of coffee and empanadas. As it was mid morning we decided to take the empanadas away for lunch and very good they were too. All were packed with filling with a thin pastry which in my humble opinion is how it should be. A yummy kale and squash mix, spinach and a chicken and pepper were those we chose, though beef available too. Avocado on toast with serrano ham was another option, as were doughnuts, which would seem to be a better fit with coffee were it not for January and all things sugary being off the menu.
My husband was less impressed with the coffee than he was at our stop at The Coffee Traveller last week. I'm not much of an aficionado but was very happy (again) that Bonsoy was the soya milk option. For the non-dairy amongst you almond milk was an option too. They do take their coffee seriously though. The meaning of TAMP is to 'gently compress coffee into basket before extracting cafe crema'. They run courses in the making of coffee at home and the art of espresso and milk.
