We're on the way to Ohio and dozing off along 70 and Apple Maps referred us to Joe Sippers. What an amazing name! We walked in and loved to see the plants and the genuine decoration in the place. The woman who took our order was nice and patient. We asked for light ice and were given that. I ordered a dirty chai and YES! Has a great chai flavor and overall lovely balance between sweet and spice. Danny got an Americano which he says is really good and smooth. We even got to draw flowers while waiting for our coffee. It was quick and a great stop for us on our journey. Only comment is we got a sleeve on our cup that was unneeded because we both got iced coffees. We like to reduce waste!! Thanks so much!!! read more

Back again, road stop, one year later! Perhaps even better than it was then. Soup (red pepper bisque) & salad (w/Thai-inspired dressing) both really fine. Veggie wrap had remarkably fresh ingredients for mid-west, mid-winter). Portions were nearly gigantic! Friendly, prompt service. Super cute, spacious dining area. Good on 'em! Keep it up! read more

Second time trying this place. Pretty decent matcha although I did have to wait a bit for my drink. Plenty of spaces to sit and do some work. Would stop by again and try their coffee next time. read more

Joe Sippers Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Effingham, Illinois

This was a random find on a road trip, and it did not disappoint!!! My husband will sometimes cave to go to the big coffee chains due to convenience, but we saw you can order ahead online at Joe Sippers, so we decided to give it a try. So glad we did! Ordering and receiving our drinks were both seamless. I can't say much for the ambiance and overall service, since we were a quick in and out. But I can say, their coffee is amazing!! I got an iced shaken espresso with brown sugar. It was absolutely amazing. It had the right touch of sweetness. Felt creamy and luxurious from the milk but not overly heavy. I'd definitely order this again. My husband got his regular go-to, which is a vanilla latte. He liked his as well! read more

Joe Sippers Cafe - Shaken espresso was clearly amazing - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Effingham, Illinois

Went here passing through and really enjoyed the coffee and sandwiches. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

Awesome coffee. Banger food. Super nice staff. And a comfortable atmosphere. A must go for a mom and pop cafe.

Service, food, coffee and cleanliness are all above 5 stars!! Between breakfast and lunch and desserts it's hard to say which is best so try them all. Coffee is all I've had but I Southaven to think that all beverages are exceptional! read more

Amazing coffee and such a fun atmosphere. The coffee was so smooth. Great flavor options also,

so we decided to stop in Effingham Illinois. it was like, we're kind of Effing hungry and there is Effing this place and Effing that place. so we settled on Joe Sippers. Pretty Effing great. If i were you all, i would put it on the Effing list of places to stop. some efffing mo-ron left a one star review because the staff was effing dressed inappropriately. they must have been somewhere else. (bless their heart) super friendly, good food, good portion size, cool atmosphere. now if they only had some postcards. next stop, the local univerity, Eff U. read more

Joe Sippers Cafe - service counted - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Effingham, Illinois

I was passing through Effingham and I needed some effing coffee, so I stopped at Joe Sippers Cafe. It was a great decision! The Americano that I ordered was smooth, and stayed smooth even as it cooled down, which can be a challenge for some coffees. While I was there, I also ordered a Huevos Rancheros breakfast burrito. You can't ask me what I think about breakfast burritos because I have very high standards, so my burrito gauge is skewed. But I wanted a burrito because I needed something to eat that I could hold in one hand while driving. Good news: You can hold the burrito in your hand while driving! The place itself is cozy and comfortable with many tables, and even a separate, more secluded room with even more tables. There are also couches and artwork on the wall, and a shelf with books to read while you're there. There's a parking lot in the back with several spaces, and parking on the street too. read more

Go to place for great coffee, smoothies, and cafe food. Breakfast on this trip. Frittata egg bites were the perfect side to our wraps. Huevos ranchero for me, bacon breakfast wrap for my wife. Added a fruit cup for good measure. She had a strawberry smoothie and I enjoyed a bottomless cup of Highlander Grog coffee, so much so I bought a bag of beans for home. Service was great even though they're really busy. Behind the counter was a very in unison team pushing out drinks and food quickly and with a smile. Place is always clean and ready for everyone. Ambiance is exactly what a coffee shop should be. Ever changing local art on the wall is also something to check out in each visit. If you come, plan on staying a while. It's the kind of place you want to hang out in. You won't be disappointed. read more

Joe Sippers Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Effingham, Illinois

First time coming here, I haven't been to Effingham in years and this place was a real great time that my wife selected. Overall it has a great selection of food, drinks and vegan options. If you like anything on the walls (mainly the artwork) it's all for sale! Staff here was friendly and sweet. We didn't even know about the coffee shop connected to it until we left. My turkey club sandwich was really good as well as my green apple smoothie. Definitely worth stopping in. read more

Coming from someone who cooks a LOT at home and uses a lot of fresh ingredients....this is one of the best cafe spots I have been to during my travels. I would go out of my way to stop in again and highly recommend. read more

I often come here after visiting the library or just walking around downtown Effingham. Joe Sippers is a quaint little coffee shop and it has different seating arrangements inside such as tall tables, couches, and regular tables. There are quite a few outlets and wifi here, so if you need to be in the presence of people whilst you work this is the place. There are two rooms, the front room is a lot busier than the back. I like to think that the back room is kind of like a work room and the front room is more or so for visiting. It's busy mid day and then it starts dying down around two to three o'clock in the afternoon. The coffee and food isn't very pricey for how much you can get. In my humble opinion this place is a lot better than Starbucks in many ways. They have daily soups and seasonal drinks! They also have desserts and they sell little containers of their black bean salsa which is some of the best i've had by far! The staff is amazing and so kind not only that but really quick with your order even when it's super busy. This place for sure gets a ten out of ten by this super opinionated person! read more

Waited 30 minutes after ordering before receiving. No dressing was served with salad. Had to ask for dressing. Received a wrap that I did not order. Ate it anyway because we did not have time to wait any longer. read more

I was looking for an oasis--somewhere that I could get good coffee and some breakfast. I was traveling from downstate toward Chi-town. I had one of their wraps and a latte. They were enjoyable--and the room and staff added a great touch to the stop. I couldn't stay long with my travel plans, but I took a muffin and cookie (errr energy for the drive) and was glad I did. read more

Great fiood, great service - value for money spent. the Chai latte was better than what Starbucks has

Driving through Effingham, we were in search of a coffee shop and a spot for breakfast. This was rated well and nearby so we decided to stop. What a cute coffee shop! We called ahead and ordered an iced latte with soy milk, cafe mocha with cayenne, caprese wrap, and the breakfast wrap. The coffees were very smooth and full of body. The wraps were made with our adjustments and packed with flavor. Specifically the local eggs they use were fluffy and some of the best eggs I've had. Looking forward to having this spot along the 70 for us to return to. read more

Delicious breakfast sandwiches. Friendly helpful staff. Don't miss this icon of southern IL hospitality.

We stopped here while traveling, the food was so good we stopped again before heading home! One of the best vegan wraps I've ever tasted - vegan Thai with seasoned tofu. The meat eaters with me loved the chicken Caesar & southwest. Quirky atmosphere & friendly staff. I wish this place was closer to my hometown. read more

Stopped in on the way thru Effingham in search of something open that had some vegetarian options for a road tripping companion. They delivered on that front. Nothing else was really notable though. Friendly service was a plus, food was really the negative though. Got a couple of wraps and the chicken was shredded when you'd expect whole pieces and tasted kind of like canned chicken taste. It wasn't anything I'd go back for. Chips were a nice addition but the black bean salsa was too sweet and not particularly plentiful for the amount of chips you'd have. read more

Great avocado bagel and tea! Roast their own beans and chill vibe. Highly recommended

Adorable coffee shop in the charming downtown area. The banana nut crunch muffin was great and the coffee is legit. Coming here every time I'm in town for work! read more

I used to get pour-overs here all the time, when I was in town for business. Went in today and asked for a Burundi pour-over, and the girl at the counter went over and "poured" drip coffee from the air pot into my cup haha. It was cute, but she might need a little coaching. I didn't say anything and just took the drip. read more

Well worth the detour off the interstate. The vegan Thai wrap was delicious. Also peanut free and allergy conscientious.

Made a quick stop off the highway for coffee, tea and breakfast sandwiches. Ordered huevos rancheros breakfast burrito and the fancy breakfast sandwich, and both were fresh and delicious. Some of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had at a coffee shop. I was able to order online while driving down the interstate, and the order was ready when I arrived. Very convenient and well worth the detour! read more

Was driving thru Effingham on a Thursday and saw Joe's and decided to stop. I was surprised to see Matzo Ball Soup on the menu so I decided to grab a 'Mug' of matzo ball soup with my water down ice tea. I'm not sure exactly what I was eating but it was more of a dumpling then a matzo ball. Growing up in the burbs of Chicago I visited many Jewish delis and had their matzo ball soup. Never have I had a bowl of soup with I'm sure was nutmeg in the matzo ball. I think the owner needs to take a road trip up north to the burbs of Chicago and try a real bowl of Matzo Ball soup. read more
