Tamp & Grind

Founded in 2010, Tamp & Grind Coffee is an independent coffee shop located at 828 4th Street in downtown Alexandria, Louisiana, serving a variety of specialty drinks including single-origin coffees, espresso, cold brew, blended “Grinder” drinks, hand-crafted Italian sodas, teas, and light breakfast bites sourced from Lafayette-based Reve Coffee Roasters. A staple in downtown Alexandria’s cultural arts district, the shop is known for its laid-back, eclectic atmosphere — complete with mismatched furniture, local artwork, and board games — making it a welcoming gathering spot for students, remote workers, and the local community alike. Tamp & Grind also actively supports the local creative scene by promoting local artists and businesses, cementing its role as a true community hub in Central Louisiana.
