Last Call for Fall: Your Last Chance to Sip the Season Before It’s Gone (November 29)

Fall may not come with crunchy leaves and scarves here in coastal Southern California, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the spirit of the season, High Tide style. The golden light, the cool morning breeze, the scent of espresso drifting through the shop, it’s our kind of autumn.

And here’s the thing: it’s almost over. November 29 is the last day to enjoy your seasonal favorites before they sail off into the sunset. So if you’ve been meaning to try our Pumpkin Pie Latte, Mazapan Mocha, Turkish Delight, or Autumn Seasonal Toast, this is your gentle nudge (okay, your friendly shove) to come through, or order ahead online, before it’s too late.

Pumpkin Pie Latte: The Classic Reimagined

You knew it was coming, the drink that makes fall feel like fall, even when the waves are still warm and the flip-flops aren’t going anywhere.

Our Pumpkin Pie Latte is made with organic pumpkin, real espresso, and a balanced blend of pie spices that taste just like a cozy kitchen moment. Whether you order it hot or over ice, it’s the kind of drink that wraps around you like a blanket, even when you’re sitting outside under the San Clemente sun.

No artificial syrups. No overly sweet shortcuts. Just pure, handcrafted flavor with every sip. You can even taste the care in the milk, you pick your favorite (oat, almond, whole, or coconut), and we make sure it blends perfectly with the warm spice and rich espresso.

It’s not just a drink, it’s a feeling. And this is your last week to feel it, so grab one in person or order ahead online for pickup.

Mazapan Mocha: When Fall Feels More Like Summer

You know how we always say, “We don’t really get fall here”? That’s where this one comes in.

The Mazapan Mocha was made for those sunny afternoons that still hit the high 70s, when a hot latte just doesn’t make sense, but you still want that cozy, seasonal flavor.

Here’s what makes it special: Cold Brew + Chocolate Sauce + Mazapan Cold Foam (yep, that’s heavy whipping cream blended to perfection). It’s rich, nutty, and just the right amount of indulgent. Think of it as your Mexican candy nostalgia moment, grown-up version.

It’s sweet, cool, and unapologetically Southern California. The kind of drink you sip slowly, sitting on the patio with friends, sun on your face, laughing about how “it’s already the holidays” while you’re still in a t-shirt.

Haven’t had it yet? Order ahead online and we’ll have it ready when you pull up, no waiting, just sipping.

Turkish Delight: A Refreshing, Unexpected Twist

Matcha lovers, this one’s for you.

The Turkish Delight is unlike anything else we’ve made before. It’s vibrant, green, and layered with Middle Eastern-inspired flavors that somehow feel both exotic and familiar.

We start with matcha and blend it with an organic pistachio and cardamom sweetener, a combo that’s sweet, floral, and perfectly balanced. Then we top it with our pistachio condensed cold foam, made with heavy cream for that smooth, velvety finish. Served only iced, it’s the perfect cross between a matcha latte and a dessert in a cup.

And even though this drink doesn’t scream “fall” in the traditional sense, it embodies what we love about the season, comfort, warmth, and a little surprise.

It’s the kind of drink that gets people talking, so whether you swing by your favorite High Tide location or order ahead online, you’re in for something special.

Autumn Seasonal Toast: Fall on a Plate

Not everything that celebrates fall comes in a cup.

Our Autumn Seasonal Toast has been a quiet favorite this season, simple, balanced, and full of flavor. It starts with fresh, toasted sourdough, then comes a layer of fig spread, crumbled goat cheese, and dried figs on top. Finally, we sprinkle on pumpkin seeds and drizzle a little local honey for that golden finish.

It’s rich but not heavy, sweet but not cloying, the kind of thing that pairs perfectly with a latte or cold brew. And the best part? It tastes like California’s version of fall: a little sunshine, a little sweetness, and a lot of comfort.

Order ahead online for breakfast, brunch, or that mid-day pick-me-up, you’ll be glad you did.

Why We Love Fall at High Tide Coffee

Fall is always special around here. It’s when locals slow down a bit after summer, when tourists fade and the mornings start to feel just a little quieter. You can actually hear the milk steaming, the grinder humming, the familiar rhythm of your favorite coffee shop coming alive.

We love seeing familiar faces again, teachers with laptops open, parents sneaking in a break after school drop-off, and surfers refueling post-session. There’s this cozy rhythm that takes over the shop in November. It’s unhurried. It’s communal. It feels like home.

And that’s exactly what we want High Tide Coffee to be, a space that feels like it belongs to the people who walk through the door. Or, if you’re on the go, a spot that’s just a few taps away when you order ahead online and swing by for your daily cup.

Your Local Spot in San Clemente, Oceanside, and Laguna Niguel

We’re proud to call coastal Southern California home. Whether you’re hanging out at our San Clemente shop after a beach walk, grabbing a cold brew to-go in Oceanside, or catching up with friends in Laguna Niguel, you’ll find the same welcoming vibe at every location.

Our team works hard to bring you consistently excellent coffee, whether it’s our single-origin espresso, house-made cold foam, or seasonal toast specials that highlight fresh, local ingredients.

So when we say this is the last call for fall, it’s not just a menu update, it’s a little moment in time we get to share with you, one last sip at a time.

Mark Your Calendar: November 29 — The Last Day for Fall Offerings

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to stop by and treat yourself, this is it.

All four of our Fall Specialty Menu items disappear after November 29, making way for a brand-new winter lineup (and yes, it’s going to be amazing).

But before that, take a moment to enjoy what’s left of this season, grab a Pumpkin Pie Latte for that warm, spiced comfort, a Mazapan Mocha to cool off in the afternoon, or a Turkish Delight when you want something fresh and unexpected. And don’t skip the Autumn Toast, you’ll miss it when it’s gone.

You can order ahead online to skip the line and make sure you get your favorites before the new menu drops.

Your Last Chance to Taste Fall the High Tide Way

We’ve loved every minute of this season, seeing you all come in, try new drinks, and make them part of your daily routine. These limited-time creations are our way of saying thanks, for showing up, for supporting local, and for making High Tide Coffee what it is: a real community.

November 29 is your last day to sip fall in a cup. After that, the winter menu takes the stage, and we promise, it’ll be worth the wait.

But for now? Let’s savor the moment, the flavors, and the easy rhythm of fall on the coast.

See You (or Your Order) at High Tide Coffee

If you haven’t had your fill of fall yet, this is your chance. Swing by your favorite High Tide Coffee location in San Clemente, Oceanside, or Laguna Niguel before November 29 and grab your favorite seasonal drink, or order ahead online for quick pickup.

We’ll be here, good coffee, warm smiles, and that familiar coastal vibe waiting for you.
