About

Welcome To Tide & Toast

The story of Tide & Toast

We’re not just another café. We’re the place you stop into after a windy walk along the pier, the spot where your morning coffee tastes better with a sea breeze, and the kitchen that knows your usual after a few visits.

Tide & Toast was built on a simple idea: good food, good coffee, and a warm welcome, open all day, every day, for whoever walks through the door.

Why Choose Us

What Makes Us Special

Quality without the fuss

We take our coffee seriously. We take our pizza dough seriously. We take our kebab marinade seriously. But we don't take ourselves too seriously, this is a place to relax, not a place to feel out of your depth.

A spot for everyone

Tourists getting their first taste of Southend. Locals popping in before work. Families with sandy feet. Couples watching the tide roll in. There's a seat here for you.

Made with care

We cook fresh, we serve quick, and we don't cut corners. If we wouldn't eat it ourselves, it's not on the menu.

Right at the heart of it.

You’ll find Tide & Toast on Southend Pier, the longest pleasure pier in the world, stretching 1.3 miles into the Thames Estuary. Whether you’re walking the length of it, hopping off the pier train, or just heading down for a sea view, we’re here.
