FROM lattes to espressos, we've had a look at the top 5 coffee shops in Reading as voted on Tripadvisor.
Here's what we found - what do you think?
1. Tamp Culture Coffee - 5 stars
Located on Gun Street by The Oracle, this coffee shop may be small but it certainly is popular coming in as the number one coffee shop in town.
One Tripadvisor reviewer said: "It may be small but it be mighty! Tamp Culture know their coffee, end of. They source from sustainable coffee farms, grind their own beans and are happy to talk about their brews if you are not sure which will suit you best. It started out as a little van but now it's a permanent coffee stall with seats and tables or you can get your coffee to go. My favourite place for coffee when I'm in town."

This coffee shop is the first in Reading to provide exclusively gluten free food including cakes, sandwiches, quiche, wraps and salads.
Their coffee is locally roasted in Winchester and made with the choice of cow, almond, soya, lacto-free or oat milk - so there's something for everyone.

This rating is for the cafe located on St Mary's Butts, but we're spoilt for choice with another one on Blagrave Street. On their website they explain "knowledge & passion is a big part of our approach in coffee & tea philosophy".
