Everything was gluten free and the owner was so nice, friendly, and helpful. My husband had the fritatta and I had the cinnamon roll french toast and everything was so delicious! They have a great selection of soups and treats also. My only sadness is that I don't live closer!

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.

The gluten free Breakfast Cookie was delicious. The coffee seemed watery, the flavor I ordered was a Carmel Latte. They make the latte as a pour over, steam milk and serve. It took some 21 minutes to get our order. It was our first visit and stated so the person said take your time and went off to do something else leaving us with no one to ask our Qs. The parking is minimal behind the building something like 7 spots. The seating is nice but could be a larger space to be more comfy. The pastries are made on sight.

Gluten free is very limited. They have frozen muffins and one flourless cake. Staff was not aware the flourless cake was gluten free. If you are looking for a bakery with gluten free, Manderfields or Tamara’s cake guru has many more options!

I love Seth's bo5h the drive-thru in downtown Appleton but also the Cafe in Little Chute. Their coffee is amazing and their baked goods are amazing and they have gluten-free options that DO NOT taste like they are gluten-free.
