Time & Tide Coffee — Restaurant in Biddeford

Time & Tide coffee was one of the first local businesses I discovered since I’d moved to the area.

I used to come by every week, buying new merch and roast releases to send to my family in another state. The coffee drinks are delicious, majority of the decor is done by local artists, and the bag recycling program is a nice touch to help with carbon footprints.

My 3-star rating comes from my recent experiences, which have been so far left-field and VERY…not-lovely. Whenever I come in, I usually have a friend, a book, my phone to keep entertained — if I’m dining in. The last month or so I’ve visited, nobody greets me when I walk in, nobody asks how I’m doing, I literally feel the entire energy and mood of the room die when I walk in. Mind you, I always say please & thank you, get the same 1 of 2 drinks every time, leave a tip, and wish a nice day on my way out the door. Well, now I’m confused. Another experience that’s happened, is the owner and employees have accused me of staring at everybody— irregardless my being nose-deep in a book or with my BACK TURNED and phone screen in my face. It’s disheartening to hear conversations about this and to see fingers pointed in my direction by employees and now, other regular customers. I kept giving Time & Tide chance after chance, week after week, knowing humans are humans and are worried about themselves and protecting themselves first. I wish it was a one-off, even a one-off month…but +$40 of coffee and over a month later it is obvious I’ve been felt to explicitly not be welcome in Time & Tide. I’ve come in at different times and days, worked with different employees, during busy & slow times and the experiences have all rounded up to be the same and I just couldn’t go without talking about this any longer.

I do hope though, that other people, tourists, visitors, and locals have better experiences than I have had at recent, and to note that Time & Tide has a simple menu with great options, and easily accommodate picky eaters and...

A Perfect Brew and Bite at Time and Tide Coffee!

If you're on the hunt for the ultimate coffee experience, look no further than Time and Tide Coffee. This cozy gem serves up a pistachio coffee that's nothing short of magical. The nutty richness combined with their expertly brewed coffee is a symphony for the taste buds. It's like sipping a hug in a mug!

But wait, it gets better. Pair your coffee with their avocado toast, and you're in for a treat. It's a delightful mix of creamy avocado goodness on perfectly toasted bread, topped with just the right amount of seasoning. Each bite is a crunchy, savory delight that complements the smooth pistachio coffee perfectly.

The atmosphere at Time and Tide is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax, work, or catch up with friends. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready with a smile. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just in need of a caffeine fix, this place is a must-visit.

Don't miss out on this incredible combo – it's a taste adventure you...

I want to like Time and Tide. I really do. The quality of everything I've had there is definitely good and there is no arguing that! However, sometimes their prices seem steep for what you get. $4.50 for a maple latte that's looks like it's about 8 oz is a little much for me when other places offer similar beverages at a better price / size ratio.

My actual only other complaint is that as a coffee shop downtown, it's a great place to sit and work and hang out. However, there is literally only 1 outlet for customers to plug into. So make sure your laptop or tablet is charged before going.

I've seen a couple of coffee shops pop up and close within the year in Saco/Biddeford area and I'd love for Time and Tide to stay open! Pretty cozy place but I think they have a lot of space they aren't working with. Adding some couches or comfier spots to relax...
