Great coffee shop in downtown Effingham. We met there a lot for a book club. They were very willing to let us use their spacious back room and even reserve it ahead of time. Best part? No charge. Their peach smoothie is great even though it isn't fresh, and the carrot cake is incredible! read more

We stopped in for dinner, but found a coffee house with one sandwich listed on their blackboard. We didn't see any menus or any other offerings, so we ordered the Pastrami sandwiches. They were very good, but we didn't care for the bag of sweet potato chips that came with it - they were chewy - not crispy. We ordered a piece of cheesecake to split between us. We couldn't even cut through the crust, and the cheesecake itself was dry and crumbly. We thought $25 was a little expensive for 2 sandwiches and one dessert. The music was loud and annoying for these two old fogeys. There were 3 guys working there, but we were the only ones in the place. And they weren't spending their free time cleaning! read more

I was sorry to see they no longer had the "Effing Ham" sandwich. But! They did not disappoint with the chipotle chicken salad and a delicious New Mexico-style green chile stew. The coffee is great and they even had a Chemex pot I was looking for for a friend of mine. read more

They serve Kaldi's coffee. This is a very typical coffee shop with custom drink ordering, a casual, friendly atmosphere, & very cozy. I recommend Joe Sippers as the only option worth visiting for a good cup of coffee if you don't want Starbucks, which is on the other side of town. read more

My favorite local restaurant/coffee shop. I'm crazy about the iced toddys, blueberry muffins, breakfast wraps, and salads. Its a great place to meet a colleague or friend for lunch as well. Free wifi, interesting art, and fun furniture makes the place inviting as well. read more

I ordered an Asian Chicken salad...lots of romaine, not very much unappetizing grilled chicken and canned mandarin oranges. I waited for about 25 minutes to get my salad. However, I must say the Mango Tea was amazing and hit the spot where the food did not. read more

My fiancé and I stopped here on our way through town and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the service. There isn't much going on in the immediate area, but Joe Sippers has a great local, artsy vibe that's worth the trip. We both got the veggie wrap, which was simple but tasty. And, as other reviewers have noted, the hummus is phenomenal. I do wish they'd had a bit more variety of cold drinks and a dark roast coffee, but overall we were very happy. read more

This was the perfect place to stop for a coffee and a sandwich! The chai lattes were foamy, flavorful and not too sweet. The chicken salad sandwich was made to order with the bread nicely toasted and the chicken salad delicious. We will be back. read more

Well, this was a nice surprise. This place, just off Effingham's town square, is a funky little cafe with plenty of tables. I came in for a late dinner at the beginning of the month and had a great cup of soup, a sandwich, and a very tasty latte. As someone who often is in Effingham for a period of less than 24 hours, I plan on coming back to Joe Sipper's for a quick meal that won't break the bank. read more

The smoothies are my personal favorite but all the food has been wonderful so far. the Santa fe wrap and the breakfast sandwich This is a hidden gem in Effingham and I do not think of this place enough. read more

Our whole family loves Joe Sippers... from the gourmet sandwiches, to the organic ingredients, to the amazing coffee and Frappes.... all served in an amazing, eclectic and artful environment. Effingham is blessed to have Joe Sippers! Keep up the great work. read more

Gr8 gourmet grilled cheese w/bacon! super comfort food... Glad we 'Yelped' for lunch;)

Always excellent coffee, very laid back, nice lounge in the back that's away from all the commotion, as well as a main lounge in the front. Would definitely say try the Santa Fe wrap. It's never a long wait for food or drinks either. May be a little more expensive than regular coffee joints, but I do believe we are paying for quality. I live here in Effingham, and this has been a go-to hang out when we just want to relax, have some coffee, and some great company. read more

Be prepared to wait! The food is still of high quality, and the atmosphere is very nice, but the service has gone down hill. The last two times I have been here I have waited 25 minutes for my meal. The teenagers working during lunch rush are busy chatting with each other rather than preparing orders. Joe Sippers is a ver popular lunch destination, but with limited lunch hour time there is no way people are going to be able to wait so long. read more

Nice cafe and local spot in Effingham that had a pretty good variety of food and drink offerings. I went with the pesto melt with chicken and it was a very satisfying offering for a sandwich. Next time I will be trying one of their bakery items in the case because they all look SO GOOD read more

Mmmm I love the fresh tasty lunches here. And I am a HUGE supporter of Kaldi's Coffee. A great place for a relaxed meet up. SO happy that Effingham has a underage friendly hangout. I wish it was here when I was in high school. read more

My all time favorite for lunch!! I especially love the Santa Fe Wrap and the Herbivorian Wrap (AMAZING during Friday's in lent). You have to try the salsa ranch dip too! YUM! The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was because of the long wait, even when you order ahead. They should have a separate pick up line for patrons that call their order in ahead of time! read more

This is a place I will always visit every time I come home for a visit. I dream about the Santa Fe wraps and the black bean salsa! This coffee shop has a great atmosphere and feels so inviting every time I come in. This is a wonderful place full of memories. If you have some free time to stop by I recommend that you do and try the Santa Fe wrap, it's very yummy! read more

Great little coffee shop. Travel through the area a lot visiting family. Always make a point to stop for coffee.

A quaint, eclectic place to eat and drink. I love the santa fe wrap and the extreme peach smoothie is fantastic! My daughter had a pb&j and the sunbutter used on the sandwich took the pb&j to a whole new level...I just might order it for myself next time! I'm looking forward to trying their soups...I've heard they are really good...wish they delivered to my office! read more

Stop in if you are in the area. Most excellent berry smoothie and great coffee as well. Options for vegans.

We are usually very very happy with our Lunch from Joe Sippers however today was not the case. We placed our usual to go order of 7 orders and the food was done in a timely manner however the wrap was dry with hardly any of the good stuff, some of the lettuce in the wrap was limp, brown and almost to the point of being slimy. We will be taking a break on ordering from here. :( So disappointing to anticipate something wonderful and have that product not deliver especially when it could have been avoided had the person making the wrap would have just cared about the people on the receiving end. read more

Two different days this week I have called to place an order for pick up--and NEITHER day did they bother answering the phone. Yes, they were open, yes, I doublechecked the phone number...but it just rang and rang and rang. read more

We've been stopping at Joe Sippers for several years as we travel between KS & OH. Nothing better than a good independent coffee place as we'd do without before going to Starbucks. Joe Sippers roasts their own coffee so always fresh and good. Bummed they aren't open Sunday's as that's often when we have to travel through Effingham, but also glad they take time to be with their families. read more

This is the artsy coffee shop you've been looking for! Ample, funky seating in two large rooms include a quiet respite in the back room for laptop users, and a friendly front room for conducting business. The menu offers healthy selections, including wraps and sandwiches, particularly appealing for those passing through town via I-70 and desperate for fast-food alternatives. Coffee beans and accouterments are available for purchase, as well as pottery and paintings from local artists. Friendly staff makes for an all-around pleasant atmosphere. read more

One of Effingham's best kept secrets. Plenty of room, food and drink! This has become one of my new favorites. The coffee is good, the food is good, simply very good! read more

Love the coffee and scones. My favorite lunch there is the Santa Fe Chicken Wrap. Yum yum!

One of my favorite places to hang out with friends. Great food and drinks. I especially like how the place is designed, and the different choices of smoothies. read more
