Tempest Coffee Collective

Tempest offers delicious coffee brewed by highly skilled baristas, a rotating menu rich with locally sourced ingredients, and a relaxed modern environment where everyone is welcome to express themselves.

Espresso, when prepared the right way, can transform any boring workday into a fantastically productive workday- every visit to Tempest has helped to produce some of my very best work. If you’ve never had a coffee that makes you do a little happy dance in your seat, I highly suggest you stop at Tempest to find out how happy dance-worthy coffee tastes.

The menu rotates seasonally, allowing for the freshest and best tasting local produce to shine. There are options for nearly all dietary restrictions. Gluten free, Vegan, as well as selective GFV. All in-house bakery is vegan. They use a high quality sourdough that some gluten-sensitive folks, like myself, are able to enjoy.

There’s ample parking nearby, As a regular, I highly suggest, parking in the first lot on the left or right rather than hoping for a spot down the hill and having to do a five-point turn-around.

The interior is modern and clean, with local art featured year-round. It can get a bit loud at peak hours but, off hours are wonderful for reading or simply enjoying the beautiful view of the river. Outdoor seating is available when weather permits.

Whether eating inside or outside, please note, there are two dish return bins on either end of the bar.

No matter the time of day or time of week, you can expect to have an amazing experience at Tempest.

I had a really good first impression from the staff who took my order and the barista who asked about my day. Not to mention the coffee and waffle !

Excellent coffee. 5 stars of the coffee and service, 4 stars on the food and seating. Seats are uncomfortable and someone's difficult to come by. That said, they have outdoor seating, which is a huge plus!

Tempest has a very chill environment that is great if you want to catch up with friends or just drink a coffee and read by yourself. Their all-vegan baked goods are always amazing, and their coffee is the best I’ve ever had. The employees are so nice. The outdoor patio during the warmer months is lovely, especially because it’s overlooking the river. Tempest is an A+ coffee shop.

Awesome location with a patio on the river. Breakfast and lunch menus. A large latte is comically large. There's also a pub nearby if you need a beer.

The skilled baristas manually make your coffee in front of you using the tools of the coffee trade... scales, Hario V60, and more.
As you walk in, their Yama cold brew towers are both beautiful and functional. Guarantee you'll get the best coffee in Appleton here.
...not to mention the scenic location on the river.

One of the best breakfast burritos I've ever. Definitely recommend.

My friend and I had our coffee there every 2 weeks during last year and this springs pandemic indoors. Excellent coffee, excellent service, excellent bakery. It was our savior. Their outdoor patio is divine as well. Loved the mandatory mask requirement inside. Thank you.

Forget the other local coffee shops, you have to check out this hidden gem just off the river. Their coffee.... amazing, but don't stop there you have to try one of their signature breakfast dishes.

I had the opportunity to visit Tempest last year as I am a long drive away and had a wonderful time with my wife and kids! The service was great and the atmosphere was very beautiful and accommodating for my children! I recently had privilege of meeting the family who owns Tempest outside of the coffee shop and MAN OH MAN can you see why the Coffee Shop is as inviting as it is! If you are looking for an excellent espresso, coffee, or atmosphere, this is the place to be! This business has tight nit family roots and they treat there customers the same!
