Ehhh this place is just mid. 2.5 stars would’ve been more accurate. They take quite a bit of time to make the coffee which is decent. (But better than dunkies so there’s that) with limited coffee choices around the area, this place is a better option. The coffee is all right, but you definitely get a bit of a burnt aftertaste instead of the smoky notes you would get with a nice rich roast. Got 7 donuts and they forgot to place 2 in the box. Donuts aren’t anything special in my opinion. They were bland and my coffee roll was a bit raw in the middle. Dunkies has better donuts. There is no display case for donuts either which makes viewing and ordering difficult. No display menu as well for anything. A paper menu is stationed at the register so you have to make your decision quickly right when you’re ready to place your order. Tipping culture sucks here where you’re obligated to leave a tip on the screen after paying or you feel like a schmuck if you don’t. Probably won’t be...
Read moreThough I'm not a daily regular, I've visited SlackTide at least 25 times since it opened. I'm also not a coffee drinker anymore, so look to other reviews for that.
But I love the food, particularly the sandwiches, paninis, and loaded toasts. I appreciate the generosity of two pieces of toast with ample toppings. Many other places are less generous (I don't get the toasts at Lucky Finn for this reason, though I like their drinks and love the work spaces).
Additionally, the seasonal drinks have been great over these last couple of years. I appreciate the variety and options.
The atmosphere is great - I've had many one-on-one meetings with people at SlackTide. And it's a bonus that there's space elsewhere in the building as well. In fact, sometimes when my wife and I want different things, she'll get something from SlackTide and I from Previte's deli or vice versa. It's a great set-up they have going there.
Long story short: HIGHLY...
Read moreWow, this little coffee shop is awesome. Excellent service, for a busy Sunday on a mother's day and for it being my very first time, I'm super impressed with this team. It was really packed but I knew if I wanted a cup of coffee for the drive home everywhere is is just as crazy. I stood in this line not having expectations at all, but when I got my cappuccino it was perfect and creamy. The espresso was smooth and the blend of the steamed milk was perfect. Then I got the sandwich ordered, you knocked my socks off! Wow! This is a double wow. Normally in south shore I get coffee and a breakfast sandwich usually only one is going to be good but not only is your food and coffee good it's actually excellent! Thank you for your business and the quality of your chefs and baristas. Best customer service ever for a...
