I've been a few times and ordered lunch and breakfast on a different day. I think it's a great addition to Amesbury. My only problem was that our lunch took a very long time. Luckily we weren't in a rush. Keep up the good work read more

From eggs Benedict to waffles and French toast to omelets. We went recently and got pancakes and one of their breakfast bowls (forgive me I can't remember the name of it). I got the bowl which was so filling. I couldn't finish it unfortunately... but for what you pay, you get an insane amount of food. The cheese in it was gooey, the chipotle aioli was perfectly balanced, and the avocado added something light and fresh. I also of course love the eggs Benedict (not pictured). And the home fries are definitely the best in the sea coast area. Crispy and seasoned! My boyfriend thought his pancakes were grainy, but personally I loved them. Everytime we go here, the service is quick and friendly. The ambiance is cozy! And we are never disappointed.

I understand that ownership has changed recently. That being said, I had my first bad experience at…read moreChanging Tides this past weekend. I'm a regular that comes in about once a month. We ordered food and two lattes around noon. One of the sandwiches came out in ten minutes. Another fifteen minutes went by with no other items from the order. Everyone who ordered after us received their coffees or food. When I asked one of the employees about it, she shrugged and said "sorry" and proceeded to turn her back to me in order to organize scones and remaining pastries. She then took an order for two americanos and made them immediately. At this point, I felt pretty offended and had been waiting about 30 minutes for two lattes and an açaí bowl (again, the BLT had come out in 10 minutes after the order was placed). I told the present employees that this behavior (the rudeness etc) sucked and asked for the rest of the order to be refunded. The staff had to get an older man from the back who was either the owner or the manager. He did refund the forgotten items from the order and told me lunch is a difficult time to come to Changing Tides as they don't handle orders well in the middle of the day. This experience made me really sad. I loved this place and I will not be returning.

I got a large cold brew ($5.50) and a pour over ($6). At the pour over's price point, I would have expected more than one coffee bean option.

Your order then get a number and sit at a table and they bring your items to you. Just a couple seats outside. They also carried a few gluten free desserts like cookies and brownies and have season banana bread. I'll have to go back and try them another time.

I spent around $25 for 2 items, am injured with difficulty walking, and they wouldn't let me use the bathroom, hinting that they had one but not "for the public".

The line was there pretty much the entire time we waited for our food, BUT it moved surprisingly quickly. Most people seemed to be waiting about 10 to 15 minutes max, so even though they were busy, they were MOVING! I had the Corned Beef Hash Breaded Bites with eggs, bacon, toast and home fries. The bites were a fun take on a breakfast classic, but overall the food had that simple, old school mom and pop breakfast spot feel. Was it amazing? No. Was it anything I'm going to be thinking about next week? Probably not. But was it a solid, satisfying breakfast at a decent price before getting back on the road to Massachusetts? Absolutely. Hubby had eggs, sausage patties, home fries and toast, and he enjoyed his breakfast as well. What really stood out to me was the customer service. Everybody was friendly, helpful and clearly working together to keep things moving. The bathroom was clean too, which definitely matters when you're traveling.If I needed breakfast again while passing through Seabrook, especially in a pinch, I would definitely stop by Linda's again. Nothing over the top. Nothing I'm writing home about. Just a good, affordable breakfast, great customer service and a convenient stop on the way back to Massachusetts.

We both ordered the Brazilian cheese bread sandwich, not because of the GF, but because we loved the little cheese bread balls that we had while visiting friends in Brazil. I ordered with the hash browns, which turned out to be REAL potato made here, not a Mc-patty pulled from the freezer. Great seasoning and perfectly cooked. The sandwich had a little spinach, well cooked egg (not too runny, but maybe a hint more than needed), and smoky bacon on a split cheese bread "roll." It was super hot when served; I finished almost all of my potato before I could eat it - no complaints on temperature. The flavor was really good - and unique. My only concerns were that the bacon was "tough" so that a bite tended to pull out the whole strip. It wasn't bad, but maybe a crispy bacon would bite more cleanly. The other issue, and really the only significant one, was the density of the cheese bread. I expected something similar to the cheese bread balls, which have a texture similar to a good Italian bread (not the squishy supermarket kind). This was almost solid. We've made the cheese bread balls at home, with good success, so I'll try the different shape - maybe for burgers! - and see if it's a challenge. I'll come back to explain if the experiment to make fluffier buns is not successful. Meanwhile, the place filled up and some of the other menu items looked really good. We're very likely to go back for a lunch.
