about us

High Tide Coffee is your local, family-owned and operated coffee haven nestled right here in South Orange County, California, specifically born and brewed in San Clemente! You'll often find the dynamic duo behind it all, Annie and Scott Kendall, expertly pulling shots with their two little ones likely nearby! From our original spot just two blocks from the ocean in San Clemente's North Beach to our location nestled in the Laguna Niguel hills and our newest spot in the heart of Oceanside, we bring the coastal spirit to every cup. We're an inclusive business where everyone is welcome.

Step through our doors and expect two things: exceptional coffee and genuine connection. Our goal is simple – to make your visit the best part of your day. With a friendly team and a welcoming community of regulars, we believe that community is king.

We're proud to source only direct trade, 100% Arabica beans straight from the farms. Roasted fresh to order multiple times a week right here in Orange County, our hand-measured and hand-bagged coffee never sits on the shelf. Keep an eye out for our small-batch program, where we roast just three pounds at a time, showcasing a rotating selection of the world's finest coffees.

At High Tide Coffee, we pride ourselves on fresh, strong, quality brews, including an array of specialty lattes and fun seasonal beverages. We're even family-friendly, with something special for the groms! You can also enjoy the classics: hot drip coffee, cold-brewed iced coffee, fresh espresso, and our fine roasted coffee beans.

Beyond serving our community directly, we also offer wholesale partnerships for local restaurants, offices, and cafes, including the exciting option of creating custom blends tailored to your specific needs.

Quality and service are our top priorities, and we can't wait to hand you (or your customers!) your new favorite coffee.
