What a little gem on the seafront great place to go for hot drinks, cake and more. Good choice of milk too, few places stock the skinny, semi and full fat milk these days but you get the choice here plus soya and oat milk. We had the biscoff cake and it was very yummy lots of choices of coffee and cake. Great place not been there very long but well worth a visit. Plus its open at 8 weekdays fab for that coffee before work. Update! So 3 years on we visited this lovely place again, it's still has fabulous coffee with plenty of choices, we only wanted coffee this time and we got there rather early but it wasnt a problem and we all had our coffees very quickly. If you want somewhere with a warm, friendly welcome and great coffee this is just the most perfect place.

Very friendly and happy staff. Amazing spot to have a coffee shop. As I was camping and had ran out of milk they went the extra mile to proivde me with a cup of milk. Its the little things that make the difference when your camping! Hope to see you next year

I never usually walk to the far end of the beach as usually park by the Martello tower but decided yesterday a walk was needed - and so glad I did. Found the The Tide and what an absolute cracking place - great selection of drinks and cakes but also a lovely relaxing place to sit and take in the view. I look forward to returning with my partner and did I mention, the couple running it are lovely and friendly too - great stuff. See you soon.

We like to pop down to The Tide for cakes & hot drinks. Good food and drinks, and friendly service, but we had to queue for a while this time. Tables and chairs on site and picnic tables on the beach.

I visited The Tide with my mum yesterday and it was such a lovely, friendly atmosphere, the staff were so welcoming and helpful. There were lots of vegan options and my tummy was rumbling so I was really grateful that we noticed this Cafe (you can't miss it, that beautiful psychedelic caravan is a real pull!). I wholeheartedly recommend this little Cafe to anyone visiting or living in the area.

The Tide is fantastic! 5* coffee with 5* service. Imogen and Regan have created an incredible oasis on the Seaford coast. Not only is the coffee top quality but the location, the view and the people make it all that extra special.
