Tide & Thyme Cafe

From Local Tides to Fresh Thyme

Nestled on the historic Bristol Harbour, Tide & Thyme was born from a simple passion: to create a warm, welcoming space where the community can gather over exceptional coffee and honest, homemade food.

Our name reflects our commitment to the local landscape and the seasons. We partner with local farmers and suppliers to source the freshest ingredients, ensuring every pastry, sandwich, and cup of coffee tells a story of quality and care. We believe in the simple joy of a meal shared, a moment of peace, and a connection to our beautiful city.

A Taste of the Harbour

Crafted fresh daily. Here are a few of our favourites:

The Harbour House Blend

Our signature medium-roast coffee, ethically sourced and roasted locally, with notes of chocolate and toasted almond.

Thyme & Sea Salt Scone

A delicious open-faced smoked salmon sandwich garnished with fresh dill.

Bristol Bay Smoked Salmon Sandwich

Locally smoked salmon, cream cheese, dill, and capers, served on fresh sourdough from a nearby bakery.
