Tempest Coffee Collective
181 S Riverheath Way, Appleton, WI
Crema's Take
“Tempest Coffee Collective is a riverside retreat where espresso craftsmanship meets creative indulgence, earning consistent praise for exceptional Americanos and signature drinks like their lavender-infused iced matcha latte. The shop thrives as a slow-paced gathering spot with a serene, almost otherworldly atmosphere that's perfect for settling in with your laptop and their standout avocado toast, though you'll want to arrive with patience and time to spare since quality clearly trumps speed here.”

I visit a lot of coffee shops in Wisconsin and surrounding states and always get an Americano. Today was my first time at Tempest and I can tell you that it was one of the best coffees I have had in quite some time. Keep up the good work.
This has become one of my favorite coffee shops! I love taking my laptop with and working here for a few hours. The avocado toast is THE BEST I’ve ever had, and their iced matcha latte with lavender is my go-to drink order.
Went to get a latte - the cashier did not know how to work the register so it took quite a while to order. They charge $1.50 extra for oat milk … this is crazy. Nobody is charging any extra for alternative milks in 2025, so this was wild. Need to look into changing this as it’s a blatant cash grab. Overall - the latte was not good tasting and took almost 20 mins to come out. I hope the food is good as I would not recommend.
Not the place to go if you are pressed for time! I waited 45 minutes for a small iced mocha and a breakfast burrito. The service was incredibly slow and the staff was more interested in talking to each other than making the drinks for the line of people out the door. The drinks were good, but nothing special. I enjoyed the bacon breakfast burrito, but it was very expensive. There is plenty of seating outside on the patio. Parking is not easy to find since it’s in the apartment complex. It is a good spot to come and study or meet friends.
Amazing place. Lovely ambience with a serene riverside view. Upon reaching the actual location it seemed like its a whole new world we are in. Even the drive leading to the coffee house was one of a kind i have never seen in Appleton. The food was good with a good number of vegetarian options, although a lot more should be added as far the flavors and texture of the dish is concerned. Prices were affordable. Coffee was pretty amazing for its presentation. I went with my husband and would love to visit this place more often during summer times
