While working in Leeds passed by Tambourine Coffee in Shipley. I got a caramel cappucino and a normal cappucino both were excellent. Superb taste and the shop is a lovely place sells fresh in house cakes also. The place was extremely busy and staff were lovely an friendly which speaks volumes about how good it is and would highly reccomend.

Recently moved to the area and was desperate to find a new coffee spot in which Tambourine fulfilled perfectly. Very good quality coffee which is consistent. Owner is also a super nice dude alongside everyone who works there especially the blonde lady who’s apparently worked there for a while. Only thing I would suggest is to make it a little warmer on the inside as it’s always so cold (ask the windows which are always dripping in condensation) or perhaps I’m just a wuss..

This place is clearly about good coffee. Really high quality, well made and delicious. I also sampled some tahini blondie which was very good. My friend had coffee cake which she said was a little dry but also loved the filter coffee. Lots of people dropping in whilst there, clearly a popular spot and was open at 9am on a Sunday... perfect! On other days appears to be other breakfast items available so will have to revisit to try.

The iced matcha with oat milk was so good! Many places don’t froth the milk so this was a lovely touch. I’m glad to have found this little spot, will be returning. :)

How coffee is supposed to be!! What a breath of fresh air after the few terrible experiences we've had lately. I had a decaf latte, my partner an decaf oat flat white. My latte was perfect (and I don't use that word often!) - not too hot so it still had that gorgeous sweetness to the milk, excellent texture ie not too frothy or too thin, the strength was spot on (nice and strong) and it tasted amazing despite being decaf which can be very hit-and-miss. Super impressed. My partner's coffee was just as good in all those ways. The cheesecake brownie was also insanely good - such a massive piece for the price, so tasty, gooey, chocolatey, with huge slabs of delicious chocolate throughout, best I've ever ever had. My partner's (huge!) peanut butter and jam flapjack was also good, slightly dry but still very very tasty. Vibes inside we're super chill, scandi, zen, hipster, light, clean etc etc - all the stuff we're into. We sat outside on the street as it was such a hot day, lovely place to watch the world go by. Could not recommend more! 10/10.

Tambourine is a brilliant little local coffee shop; a small walk away from the tourist hotspots. It's brilliant because the coffee is excellent. It helps that they serve North Star coffee; but the coffee is well made, swift and hot. The service and whole atmosphere is very friendly. It's a small, clean and welcoming place. The staff made me feel right at home straight away. The only aspect that might put people off is the overlapping conversation. Lots of friendly people in a small place meant I could hear every word of at least four conversations. Don't let that put you off. This is not the place if you're planning a private chat but it's perfect if you want good coffee and to feel like a Saltaire local.
