Riptide Cafe is a local gem that offers tasty coffee and excellent customer service. The baristas remember personal details and provide unique syrups like amaretto. Molly, the standout manager, ensures top-notch service. The cafe distinguishes itself from chain outlets by allowing customers to use their own cups and positively contributing to the community. With a charming stand and clean surroundings, Riptide Cafe is the go-to spot for quality coffee and friendly faces.
Recent visits highlight the cafe's delicious offerings, including a turkey and cheese croissant, bagel with cream cheese, and a variety of drinks like the white mocha breve. While many customers praise the friendly and quick service, some experiences have been mixed, with reports of drinks tasting burnt or watery. Overall, Riptide Cafe remains a popular choice for coffee lovers, thanks to its welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff.
