Cute little cafe with some nice coffee selections. It's on a busy one way street, so parking may be difficult. Their pastries were pretty tasty and they had some really cute choices like a bacon cheddar scone. Very flavorful, large, and wasn't dry at all. Their coffee was also good. My only downfall was that nothing we got was hot. It wasn't cold, but leaned more towards warm than anything else. On a cold windy day like today, I could've really appreciated a hotter beverage. I was also surprised to not see any sort of donut out considering the name of the shop. Wish there was. Otherwise, it was an adorable place, the workers were friendly and attentive, and it was worth stopping in. read more

Stopped in on my drive back to Boston and WOW! I was not expecting to love this place as much as I did. I got an iced caramel latte and it's seriously the best coffee i've ever had. I wanted a sweet treat so I asked the cashier which donut she recommended and I left with two. Both were amazing- chocolate donuts of sorts. I wish this was in Boston because I'd go every day. Will definitely be stopped by next time I'm in the area. read more

A nice neighborhood cafe in Newburyport with friendly workers. I came midmorning during the week and got a few donuts including oreo, strawberry chocolate, lemon filled, and a cinnamon roll. The donuts were really good, soft, pillowy, and good flavors. The lemon filling wasn't too tart, but was still lemony. Tons of oreo toppings made it a great ratio for donut to frosting/topping. On the other hand, the cinnamon roll still had that soft brioche, but was lacking a lot of cinnamon sugar to it. It's like the middle had everything and the sides poofed up with nothing. Overall, a great place to visit and I'd recommend checking this place out. read more

Small shop with friendly curbside ordering and pickup during Covid times. Donuts were good though short of elite. Coffee was very good. Service was excellent. Honey Dipped: Glistening exterior, slightly stiff interior. Chocolate honey dipped: Similar to the honey dipped, but with more give and subtle chocolatey flavor. Coconut: The one I least wanted to order was the one that was the brightest star that morning. Two kinds of coconut, densely pa led on the surface, and a soft, fresh interior with ginger notes. A win. Lemon Filled: Another fresh one, with a thick filling more tart than sweet. read more

Coffee is pretty good. Service is not great after you order. I have visited this cafe three times in the last 6 months, each time I am in the area I look forward to it. Not sure if it's my persona or what but all 3 times I've ordered, my drink has either gotten forgotten about miraculously or sat on the counter without anyone acknowledging or announcing who's drink it is. Which is what they do, they call your name. Funny how my name never gets called. I think I'll find a new coffee spot in the area read more

My husband and I stopped in today (Saturday) for the first time. We really enjoyed it. There were a steady stream of customers so we thought it must good since it seemed like a popular spot. We had breakfast sandwiches which were cooked to perfection. The coffee was really great as well. So many flavor selections! The staff seemed like they helped each other out to keep the steady crowd moving through and they had a good handle on all stations. They were polite and accommodating to their customers too. We sat at a table for several minutes to eat and take it all in. Everything was clean and easy to access. Nice vibe. A quaint little cafe in a lovely town! Can't wait to go back! read more

Stopped by here on our way home to pick up some donuts, one of the few things I love to try where ever we travel. They have online ordering, which you can head inside to pick up otherwise orders are curbside outside of their window. While waiting for our donuts, we noticed there were a lot of locals come by and familiar with the staff which I believe is always a good sign. We got a half dozen donuts, including apple cinnamon, glazed, chocolate glazed, and blueberry which were all cake donuts. How can you not like donuts or cake? The cinnamon roll was still pretty good the next day, I just wish we had warmed it up like she recommended. Their chocolate frosted was actually really delicious, a donut I don't typically prefer. Their donut dough was so light and fluffy and then frosted with rich chocolate. It was surprisingly my favorite. I wish they hadn't run out of their boston creme, which goes early I hear, so make your way down bright and early! As for my iced caramel latte, it was a bit too milky for my liking. If there were less milk, or more espresso, my latte would have been perfect. read more

I stumped upon Changing Tides when looking through Downtown Newburyport and it was well worth my time. There is not much to say about it-- they provide delicious and tasty handcrafted donuts as well as good coffee. The only downside was that the two chocolate glazed donuts were pretty stale and old, but that's expected from a small shop past 11 am. I'm a fan of this spot and recommend it to anyone looking for a dozen delicious pastries. read more

We've done online ordering a few times now and it's super quick and easy. The breakfast sandwich is amazing - just tried it on the cheese bread and man, that was good. The avocado toast was a bit salty, so not sure if we'd get that again. Everything seems fresh though and I appreciate that! The coffee is as expected. We haven't sat outside there or eaten in, but it does seem like a cute place with nice outdoor seating. I'll definitely be trying a donut and latte next time! read more

EDIT: Sharon and Dawn, owners of Changing Tides Café provided great customer service by reaching out to me personally. They showed me the customer service we should have received that day. They were kind, sincere, and acknowledged what happened last week. Next time we are in Newburyport, we will give Changing Tides Café another try. Thank you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caroline M - you are equally as bad as the barista. You did not see the whole thing go down. You were not inside when the barista made that comment, and my friend was ordering the pour overs with the cashier. My other friend was right behind her waiting to get her order in, so I do not know why you are getting involved in this. Also, the barista was nice to you because 1. you are not Asian 2. you are from the area. Thank you for confirming your ignorance and that outsiders are not welcomed in Newburyport. Also, I do not like the fact that you are downplaying what a person of color is feeling because you as a white person was always treated right when you came here. You are sticking up for that barista not even knowing what happened. Secondly, I came to the cafe to drink a nice coffee and eat delicious food honoring my best friend who lived in Newburyport. Not to bring down a business. I will not stay silent if something discriminatory goes down. If you were really inside the cafe, you would have heard the barista make a comment about there being four of us. Four of what? Even if the etiquette is that the people who order first must wait outside, I am not going to make my pregnant sister wait outside in the cold. People like you disgust me. read more

We both got a bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel. I loved that we could choose between cheddar or American cheese for the breakfast sandwich and that they actually cook their bacon pretty well (not flimsy and translucent like some places). My husband got a mocha latte which wad delicious and I got a hot chocolate which was flavorful and pleasantly unique tasting from other places. Lastly, we grabbed a few baked goods: A Nutella Swirl Tea Cake, a Brownie Cookie, and a Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie. The tea cake was very flavorful and both the cookies blew us away! It's hard to find brownie cookies or chocolate chip cookies with brown butter these days, so we were excited to see them offered here. Overall the experience here was wonderful and even though the line was out the door, we were in and out in under 10 minutes! There are plenty of beautiful spots closeby to enjoy your drinks and treats, which is a plus. We will definitely be back to try more of the offerings, especially the themed sugar cookies they offer.

Terrible place - do not go there - owner is not well mentally. very creepy owner and staff to allow…read morethis to happen. The owner has a book bin outside of her store, and she came out and stood behind us as we got some books, and then we asked her if we could take some books and she said yes, but then told us we had to leave books and then she ranback in and then came back out again once we left to check her book bin and also had her staff come out and check on us. it was the jarring and off putting situation at a cafe that anyone could stand. Food is not good as well - there are many other better places in Newburyport to buy pastries and coffee than this place and they don't harrass you over a couple of books which were going to a family who lost their house thru a fire.

The Crab BLT alone is worth the trip. I ate it so fast that I uncharacteristically forgot to snap a…read morephoto first. Thick layer of actual crab salad, bacon, lettuce, avocado, tomato, and mayo on brioche. The menu had a number of other options that caught my eye, including a jerk chicken wrap and a Caesar salad wrap (my old stand-by). We also had to get one of the fresh baked blueberry muffins sitting in the display by the entrance and that too was incredible. The manager (I think?) working the cash register was super friendly. Food came out fast. Not sure what other reviews are talking about with the portion size but we left satisfied. There are some tables but if the weather's nice, grab a sandwich and chips and take it by the water to watch the boats coming in. There's a parking lot right out front, as well as a lot across the street - you may have to do some loops on weekend mornings.
