    So grateful Shanty Cafe was open at 6am, as we had to catch the CAT Ferry very early and the other coffee and breakfast shops didn't open until 7am. We ordered food ahead so we could pick it all up and head straight to the Ferry. The two ladies working the morning shift were super friendly and cheerful, and packed everything up very nicely (also provided plastic ware, napkins, jam, etc - they didn't forget a thing!) The only reason I gave them three stars was because honestly, the food was not spectacular. The french toast was quite bland, a bit over cooked and greasy. The tortilla verde was pretty good. The coffee smelled wonderful but was a touch weak. In any event, it's a lively neighborhood spot. They have a shop next door that sells novelty items and art. We were in a rush so unfortunately didn't get to check it out although they had some items on display in the coffee shop.

    Our family had breakfast and the service as well as food was amazing. We went early before our ferry ride.

    The Cuban croquettes, served with sour cream, were fun to try and the Shanty breakfast was great!

    Sip Cafe checks all my boxes for a great coffee shop: an attractive, comfortable space to hang out,…read moreindependent, non-commercial vibe, friendly staff, baked goods made in house, and of course good coffee. I only had an Americano and a muffin so I can only judge by first impression. The coffee was decent and of course made from locally-roasted, fair-trade-certified beans. The chocolate espresso muffin was good but was kind of "cake"y; it lacked textural interest like chocolate chips or a pleasingly overbaked top. Good flavor though. As I sat with my coffee and planned my day I took in the surroundings. Clean and modern yet retaining a cozy, homey feel. Wood tones and brick dominate the decor. I perused the other food offerings and found a fairly limited selection of baked goods. Several muffin types were available but no croissants, cookies, scones etc. It was late in the morning though so they may have sold out of them. They have breakfast sandwiches made to order, lunch sandwiches, salads, and soups. All looked good. A whole counter dedicated to gelato! All empty though; maybe it's just served in summer? An astoundingly large selection of teas, the many canisters taking up most of the wall space behind the counter. Wish I liked tea! And - very unusual for a coffee shop - beer and cider (all local, craft brands) and wine! Probably coming back tomorrow for beans to take home and maybe sandwiches for a picnic lunch.

    Coffee is good, food is mediocre. Service depends on who is behind the counter. When Sip first…read moreopened the food was great I feel bad saying that it has lost something along the way but it's true .
