Riptide Espresso & Records

Fab coffee and I love that they have Karma Cola! And I fell in love with their spoons It would be great if they had a sign to indicate there's more sitting available upstairs (or I completely missed it ) since we did not realise they had until before leaving! I would strongly recommend getting upstairs if you are looking out for chill/quiet.

My absolute favourite coffee shop to visit when we are down in Poole - as a barista, the coffee is consistently excellent, the food is great and we have always had a great experience here!

Visited both takeaway and eat in. Very yummy espresso, deliciously fruity. Eagle One brewer and grinder setup. Also partook in their brownie which also went down very well. Would definitely recommend for their coffee. Very cool vibe and music downstairs; a bit less cool upstairs but lots of 70’s wicker furniture if that is your thing.

Coffee is super important, and the right coffee is even more important. I know how i like my coffee, and this place delivers. Very tasty coffee, perfect milk consistency, and for the 3 times i visited, each morning the temperature was identical, they care about the coffee the serve. The tunes are great too! An amazing place to hangout in the morning. Bravo!

We rather took over half the upstairs on the cold windy day today, we were celebrating my grandchild's birthday and the staff found us a candle to pop on a brownie. The staff were so obliging, the brownies and croissants excellent and the teas, coffee and hot chocolate warmed us up. Thank you Rip Tide for excellent refreshments and service. Rip Tide is well worth a visit.
