Was amazing and quick. Asked for a recommendation and enjoyed the London Fog with Honey and Vanilla with regular milk.

I was there on 3/6/23 and the employee hid in the back . I was there for 15 minutes . On a trip and stopped for a cup and I guess they didn't want my business . I returned my coffee cards on this day Wouldn't do business here Long time customer e-mailed without any reply

Great for when you wanna pick something up to eat with your coffee. They have multiple variety of food options! They prided themselves on being fast and efficient, which is convenient when your in a rush but also remember if you don’t have the time don’t stop for coffee. Support our local businesses like these.

Took quite awhile to make a turkey & cheese croissant with me being the only customer. Then they burnt it. Customer service wasn't bad or good, it was just nonexistent. 6.50 for a burnt breakfast & not so much as an apology. They did offer to remake it, but I could tell she really didn't want to so I said it's fine, ill try to pick the burnt parts off..... Also, I ordered a white chocolate mocha last time, asked for iced but they gave me a hot one. I said "no big deal, I'm running late so I'll just take it". Again, no apology for the screw up. When the coffee was finally cool enough to drink, it was a severe disappointment. Tasted like they burnt the grounds & like the creamer was past its date. Couldn't taste the white chocolate at all. It was like coffee with milk, not a white mocha. I'm honestly shocked when I see a line there. The coffee & food are both subpar & the customer service is lacking. It's a coffee shop, maybe a smile & a "good morning" would make the coffee easier to choke down

My partner ordered a 12oz Americano for $3.50 and we paid $10 for it because we got short changed on a $20. We both realized it and asked about the missing $5 accidentally going into the tip jar with the $1.50 tip we left, but no luck. So it felt like we were Ripped off by Riptide. I don't think we'll return again but if I did I would not pay with cash. Coffee was ok, but not worth $10 for a 12oz cup.

Love mornings when Molly serves 'em up., and while I'm there, I enjoy a fine brew.

Great coffee, friendly service. Lost a star for incredibly long wait times. Cars took ten minutes or more to get sandwiches and made it real hard for us to get coffee and get back on the road.

Use to hit this spot all the time when I worked in northern Cali. Great coffee and great croissant sandwiches. Workers are awesome, too. Highly recommend pulling through.
