As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of cafes and a lover of unique local spots, I'm thrilled to share…read moremy experience with Slack Tide Coffee Co., a fantastic new addition to Kingston that opened its doors in May. The name itself, "Slack Tide," immediately resonated with me, bringing back memories of Chincoteague Island's pony swim - that perfect, serene moment when the tide is just right for safe passage for ponies through a narrow channel when the tide is neither coming in or going out. True to its name, this coffee shop aims to be "just right" in every aspect, and it absolutely delivers. I've had the pleasure of visiting twice since their opening, and each time has been a delight. My dirty chai was perfectly balanced, offering that comforting spice kick without overpowering the espresso. The London Fog latte was equally impressive, a smooth and aromatic treat. They've clearly mastered their beverage game, using quality ingredients and a skilled hand. Beyond the excellent coffee, Slack Tide offers some truly memorable eats. On their very first day, I snagged one of their limited-supply donuts - a big, brioche beauty that was utterly delicious. But the real star, and a personal favorite, was the Weekend Special Pub Breakfast Biscuit ($9.00) I enjoyed with my goddaughter after a softball game last month (see photo). This sandwich is ridiculously good: a perfectly fried egg, crispy bacon, a savory house-made pimento cheese spread, and a unique red pepper jelly, all nestled on a homemade biscuit. As with all biscuits, it's a bit crumbly; a multi-dimensional bite. It's worthwhile to stay in-store and devour it versus take it on the go and lose some of the magic to your shirt while attempting to navigate your way on MA-27 or to the laws of thermodynamics once you get it home. I ate on site while my favorite kiddo enjoyed a banana and peanut butter treat. The sandwich was a flavor explosion that I'm still thinking about. Also, I sent family members pictures while they were at brunch at some fancy Newport spot and they were quite jealous. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff are friendly and efficient. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer, whether you're catching up with a friend or just enjoying a quiet moment. If you're in Kingston or passing through, Slack Tide Coffee Co. is an absolute must-visit. They've quickly become a favorite, and I can't wait to see what other delicious offerings they'll introduce. Don't miss out on this fantastic local spot - it truly is "just right"!

I've had some good iced coffees here, but the last 3 times it was soured. I called the owner and…read morehe said he'd give me a new one. When I arrived he was there and didn't even ask any questions, I had to tell him. He was more interested in the line of people behind me. The coffee was just as bad, I left it there. How can you solve the problem if you don't really want to know. It tastes like old,dirty coffee, sour. $3.99 for a medium decaf iced. The ambience is a run down look. No seats or bathroom. They never order enough donuts especially the Boston cream. I've also had a spring roll there and the rice covering was stale and hard to chew. I would not recommend this place because it's not fresh coffee and the staff is always turning over. Help wanted sign up again. Lack of knowledge by management.

Their baked goods are top notch---clearly it was hard to just pick one. You'll love their breakfast sandwiches along with their lunch menu as well! They have such a wide range of offerings and they all exceed my expectations! They also have amazing drinks! I've tried Mey staples, seasonal offerings and even some of their teas! I have loved everything I have had! The inside is cozy and cute! It's always packed with regulars or people in town on vacation. Everyone there is always smiling---customers, staff, even pups that stop by! The outside is adorable with the cute chairs as well. Staff here is super friendly, helpful and all around wonderful! I love this cafe!

We stopped by the charming little cafe for a late breakfast. Upon entering we were greeted by the…read morestaff who quickly directed us to the menus and offered to take our order. There were a few seats open inside the cozy building, but we opted to sit outside on the patio which had a perfect setup with a steady breeze, and shade to prevent from getting overheated in the summer sun. I had a standard bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel while my wife had the breakfast burrito. Both were served quickly and left us full as well as satisfied. The slice of fresh watermelon served on the plate was a welcome surprise. We also had one of the ham and cheese croissants from the counter which we took a single bite out of and decided we needed more for the road. This is a fantastic little cafe, and the fact that it offers on the job experience for students interested in food service is even more reason to visit! We will definitely be returning!
