Hot Summer Nights Are Coming to High Tide Coffee in San Clemente

Summer in San Clemente has a certain rhythm: surf in the morning, coffee in hand, salty air drifting through town, and plenty of reasons to stay out a little later. This September, we’re keeping that coastal energy going with Hot Summer Nights Market at High Tide Coffee.

On Saturday, September 12, from 5–9 PM, our San Clemente shop will turn into an easygoing evening gathering filled with local makers, music, food, drinks, surf films, interactive experiences, and giveaways.

A coffee shop, after hours

High Tide Coffee has always been more than a quick stop for a latte. Our San Clemente location is a local hangout for beach days, work sessions, morning routines, and those “let’s grab coffee” plans that somehow turn into a two-hour conversation.

That community spirit is at the heart of Hot Summer Nights.

If you’ve been searching for a coffee shop in San Clemente with a strong local feel, this is a chance to see that side of High Tide after the usual daytime rush. We’ll bring together neighbors, visitors, local vendors, and coffee lovers for one relaxed summer evening.

And yes, there’ll be plenty happening beyond the coffee bar.

Bring your people. Stay awhile.

The evening will feature live bands, food and drinks, surf films, local vendors, interactive activities, and giveaways. Think less formal event, more classic Southern California night out.

You can browse local goods, catch a surf film, listen to live music, grab something to eat, and wander around with a drink in hand. Maybe you’ll discover a new local maker. Maybe you’ll run into someone you haven’t seen in months. That’s kind of the point.

San Clemente has a strong independent spirit, and local events like this make it easier to support the people and small businesses that give the area its character.

Quality coffee. Good people. Coastal energy.

Our roots are in San Clemente, and that connection still shapes what we do. We source direct-trade, 100% Arabica coffee and roast fresh in Orange County, with a focus on specialty coffee that’s consistently fresh, bold, and enjoyable.

But great coffee is only part of the experience.

A welcoming space matters, too. So does good music. Local art. Friendly faces. A place where regulars feel at home and visitors feel like they’ve found a new favorite stop.

That’s what makes a neighborhood coffee shop feel like a neighborhood coffee shop.
