Incredible place! Seals, sea lions, lattes and bagels, life is good at Slack Tide Cafe. Lovely lady who took our order, and a great visit with the sea life and the locals on a sunny deck.
We just came for the music entertainment. Service was great. Didn't eat.
Very friendly staff, great coffee and pastries, wonderful location and outdoor deck with lots of sea lions and other wildlife!
Great spot worth a stop
Just a great coffee shop. Superb location overlooking the Noyo harbor, and the coffee is really, really good. Oh, and the money you pay goes to marine research and ocean preservation. All very good indeed!
The food/drinks were amazing and reasonably priced. The place is very beautiful with nice views of water and sea lions swimming around. The staff was very polite and helpful in guiding on activities to do around. They also have live music which should be a beautiful experience.
This place deserves more reviews! Such a friendly, warm and inviting place. We had amazing smoothies, coffees, and cookies. They had so many vegetarian options too for breakfast and lunch, but we were just here to grab a drink and head out. Nevertheless, we ended up spending over an hour, sipping our drink and hanging out on the deck, spotted beautiful birds and sea lions. It was so peaceful :) highly recommend! Even the person at the counter was really sweet and suggested activities for us, and we ended up loving every bit of it. Also, the proceeds benefit the Noyo Center for Marine Science, a local community and city initiative, and we were really pleased to be a part of that :)
Fish and prawn combo hit the spot and the fish tacos and chowder were good too
Worthwhile non-profit worth patronizing!
Owner was super friendly and helpful 💕 would def recommend you stop by!
Wonderful place for a quick bite or a lovely coffee and delicious pastries. Couldn't imagine a more delightful group of people to serve me either!
Great place to get a coffee and a scone or a sandwich. When we have a little spare time, we love to go down to Slac Tide and get a coffee, watch the boats, and enjoy the Harbour Vibe. Great menu, friendly prompt service. I strongly recommend you check it out.
Hot coffee, good food , beautiful atmosphere, friendly people.
My favorite place for coffee and wildlife watching. If you are looking for a place to grab breakfast and sit by the the water, you’ve found the spot. The staff are nice and you can feel good about supporting efforts to conduct ocean science in Fort Bragg.
Great coffee, great vibes, cool views of the river 🤙🏼
Waterfront cafe, very roomy and bright, pleasant counter staff, gifts for sale -- the proceeds benefit the Noyo Center for Marine Science, a local community and city initiative. Enjoyed the rich flavored espressos, acceptable bagel w cream cheese, and the tuna-chickpea sandwich, very yum! They oat milk they use is Oatly, but I drank anyway. At around 11AM, most of the baked goods were already gone, so that was a disappointment. Got to talk with some of the very knowledgeable volunteers for the center who happened to be visiting themselves. We saw a cormorant and several seals, plus a few busy boats loading. The whole experience made the gray winter day very pleasant.
If you’re a fan of Noyo Harbor 💙and the Noyo Science Center, your first thought is “WOW!! This is great!! Why didn’t they do this sooner?” 😉(Tee hee.) This place is DA BOMB for hanging out and observing a working harbor or visiting with your friends. Super large outdoor deck/patio area, picnic area with Adirondack chairs and a shark for selfies. There is an indoor café area as well. Dedicated parking outside, but not enough for the demand, so you may need to proceed to the main public parking lot a few blocks away. Coffee, of course, pastries, and sundry other items. Mostly heathy, some simply decadent. Reasonable prices, credit cards accepted. N the restroom is clean!
I love this place! One of my favorite spots to drink some coffee!
Great spot on the Noyo River. The staff was friendly and the coffee and food delicious. The best part is they have a wonderful deck on the river where I spotted several sea lions, harbor seals, and river otters! This will be my go to spot for coffee and lunch now.
