Hi Everyone!
For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Maddy. I started working at High Tide when it first opened in 2020, and it quickly became my second home. It’s where I spent my summers off from college, made countless friends, and watched a community grow. It’s also where I realized I wanted to be a business major instead of a science major — a decision that changed the course of my future.
Fast forward four years: I graduated college without knowing exactly where I’d land.
Now, I have the incredible honor of owning High Tide and serving all of you — our amazing customers, friends, and family.
I’m beyond excited for this next chapter and grateful for the opportunity to continue building the place we all love.
A heartfelt thank you to Nichol, Darby, and Mike. I’m forever grateful for your guidance and support. Here’s to many more summers together!
How it all began
The story that led to the space that we have all grown to know and love
The ocean was always calling, I finally answered.
We used to sit for hours, my mom, dad, sister and I. We would dream of what the future would look like. It continued as my children grew wildly at the beach each summer. Day in and day out we filled our souls with sand, sun and ocean.
We would scatter our thoughts into the universe. Like little seeds they slowly clumped together and here we are. A small family business that brings family and friends together. A place that nourishes the soul as much as the body, that fills you up on the inside as much as it fills your heart. We feel the warmth of our heritage shining down on us and all those who have become a part of our little family. We aim to be a locally focused cafe that brings people together and is environmentally conscious.
When I saw this little shop abandoned during 2020 craziness, I decided to start this business so my family could have a place to work together, to provide jobs for people and to create a space for community events and nourishing food. I started this little shop to bring people back together because thats what I believe in, the people, the families of all shapes and sizes, the friends and helping each other.
