Time and Tide Coffee

At Time & Tide Coffee, we believe that everyone deserves to drink the best. There are very few things in the world that we all have access to the best in the world version of – but coffee is one of those things. We believe that providing better coffee for everyone starts with making great coffee accessible and approachable. In our roaster: We are passionate about sourcing the best coffee and thoughtfully roasting it to bring out its flavor. We work hard to keep our prices accessible to consumers and wholesale partners, all the while sourcing from importers and distrubutors who work to take care of the coffee farmers. In our cafe: We know that people can sometimes feel overwhelmed or out of place in a specialty or third-wave coffee shop, so we work to demystify specialty coffee – people understand what they are getting and feel comfortable ordering it. _ Briana and Jon met in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn NY in the spring of 2010, where they, of course, met up for coffee after being introduced by a mutual friend. They bonded over their love of early 90s punk rock, beautifully crafted cocktails, Sons of Anarchy and Mad Men. After several years as an inseparable couple, they were married in the Autumn of 2014 in what some of their friends (ans Refinery 29) described as the "most Brooklyn wedding of all time." Over the years, they spoke of opening their own coffee company – a place where they could offer the best beans, sourced from people Jon had met in his coffee travels, in a beautiful, modern, and, most importantly, welcoming environment. Jon's lifetime of experience in coffee, from barista to roaster to green buyer, helped accelerate the conversation. They drafted the beginnings of a business plan for what would become Time & Tide Coffee while in Antigua in the coffee region of Guatemala, but it remained a dream as they tried to determine the best place to establish their company. It wasn't until a 2017 trip to Maine for a family vacation that they realized Biddeford, with its evolving, artistic, and entrepreneurial community would be a perfect fit. Within six months they had left their jobs in New York and relocated to Biddeford. Since arriving in January of 2018, they've become active with local entrepreneurs, city leaders, and the downtown community. They are incredibly excited to be playing their small part in the Biddaissance.
