Riptide Espresso & Records is an independent coffee shop and vinyl record store based in Dorset, UK. Founded by Aaron Blandford and Sam Sheldon,  offering specialty coffee, locally sourced food, and a curated selection of records.

​

We created the brand in 2020 and it has become a local favourite. We wanted to create a laid back vibe with scope for being creative and playful over time. We've had a lot of fun designing merch over the years and still explore new ways to expand on the brand keeping it fresh. 

​

Our partnership with Riptide continues as the brand grows — from Poole Old Town to the Isle of Portland — keeping its design language fresh, cohesive, and always true to its shoreline roots.
