Tidal was a Starbucks alternative, since we wanted to try something new. Oatmeal latte was excellent! The egg wrap was hot and delicious. The fruit was fresh. I recommend it. 👌

Tidal Coffee offers delicious iced mocha, blueberry muffins, and a wide variety of non-dairy milk options. The cafe provides a clean and stunning location by the Monterey Bay for enjoying beautiful ocean views. While American style coffee is recommended, the European style cappuccino may not meet expectations. The friendly staff and dog-friendly courtyard seating make it a lovely spot to relax with a drink. Guests can enjoy grab-and-go juices, a cinnamon roll, or a ham and Swiss croissant while taking in the open-air patio atmosphere. The coffee shop is known for its really good drinks, including the perfect London fog and a matcha latte. Guests have noted that the egg sandwich could use a little salt or hot sauce, but overall, the food is great. The large outside area allows visitors to enjoy the atmosphere, especially next to the dolphin statue. The cinnamon roll is highly recommended for being huge, warm, and delicious. Expect a line on weekends, but the quick service and amazing scenery ensure a great experience. Accessible restrooms are available next door in the hotel, and van accessible parking is located in the area garage.
Located next to the Monterey Plaza Hotel, Tidal Coffee offers a quick refreshing drink and food stop with beautiful views of the Monterey Bay. The cafe is conveniently situated towards the back of the hotel, providing stunning views from its outdoor patio with plenty of dining space. Visitors can enjoy a croissant, chicken salad croissant sandwich, and an iced tea. Portion sizes for the food are tiny, roughly a third smaller than at a typical cafe, and the sandwiches seem to be made off-site and prepared in advance, so the croissant might not be the freshest. Despite this, the beautiful views and relaxing atmosphere make up for the smaller portions. The location is perfect for a quick snack or lunch, especially since there aren't many other fast casual options in the Cannery District. The breakfast burrito is praised for being big enough for two to share, with a good blend of ingredients. The service is quick, though some guests have commented on receiving a "Gen Z stare" when ordering. Overall, the experience is positive, especially for those seeking a picture-perfect spot by the bay. The coffee is fine, and the service is adequate. The seating area is a major attraction, offering sturdy tables and a gorgeous view, making it a popular midway caffeine stop between the historic downtown/wharf area and the Aquarium/Cannery Row area. Guests can also browse small batch chocolates, pastries, and curated gifts.
