    Ice cream selection 5/30/26
    Dan S.

    Always great and we love the drive through. Posting a picture of the ice cream menu from 5/30/26

    Spinach and Swiss cheese omelette
    Elizabeth H.

    Staff were all lovely, we ordered to go and sat outside as we had a dog with us. There are tables and chairs with umbrellas which were great in the summer heat! We came early in the morning and went with the Swiss and spinach omelette as well as the breakfast bacon egg and cheese biscuit sandwich. My partner's omelette he said was really good with loads of Swiss cheese. The breakfast sandwich though we both agreed was the star with homemade biscuit bread, fluffy thick egg, plenty and bacon and cheddar cheese. Each was $7 and left us full! Will definitely be back to check how the coffee is

    The coffee was a bit pricey for the taste, honestly. That said, having a drive-thru is a nice touch. The staff seemed a little overwhelmed during the morning rush, but the café itself is huge, definitely a good spot to sit down and get some work done.

    Ham and cheese croissant

    I've been to Sip a few times now. The ice cream is always good. Creamy and sweet without being overly sweet. My favorite is the cherry ice cream but they didn't have it on this visit. I ended up going with the horchata ice cream instead. It was sweet with the perfect amount cinnamon. It's like someone took the best food truck horchata and put it in an ice cream machine. Delicious! I also got a ham and cheese croissant which had a good flavor but was served cold which was off putting. I didn't expect that so I took one bite and waited till I got home to warm it up. I wasn't asked if I wanted it heated so I don't know if that's something they do.

    Honestly , this is one of the cuter / character giving coffee shops in town . The vibe is chill , they have a few different things on their menu such as ice cream , milkshakes , different types of coffee but I will say , THE COFFEE IS MEDIOCRE ASF. I find myself coming here a few times a month being it's the only coffee shop that is open past 6pm on Sundays and every time I get the same result.. no matter how much expresso I have them add to my latte , it's never good . So with that being said , if you want some solid ice cream or maybe even a drip pour coffee Check it out !! But if you want a really good latte try madtown or dose . 2 stars based off the quality of the lattes considering it is a coffee shop.

    I LOVE SIP! Everything about it is just fantastic. They have always made my coffee orders perfect, and they offer so many options. I find myself going several times a month. It's also convenient that they have a drive through! My favorite is an iced caramel oat milk latte, but their pumpkin pie just came back and that's worth a try too. They also make all their pastries from scratch! My favorite is the chocolate chip muffin. You can tell they use real butter. I would eat their ice cream every single day, every flavor I have tried is scrumptious. I swear you will not be disappointed. They also give a good amount in each scoop. They also make shakes and malts with any flavor you it! I definitely recommend their chocolate chip cookie dough, nutter butter, and pecan praline! There is a bunch of seating inside and out. Trust me and give sip a try! I do wish they had a punch card or something similar.

    Nutter Butter - drool!

    I really shouldn't have moved into the neighborhood where this little cafe of ice cream & coffee heaven exists. My waistline is not going to survive it. Nor will yours if you give them a try, because you will return, especially for their ice cream. I've tried the Salty Honey (my favorite), Loaded Butterscotch, Praline, Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate...something or another, and Nutter Butter (my other favorite). This stuff is for real - homemade Mike's Ice Cream - and it's to die for. It is also not low fat, not low sugar, not low quality, whatever. It's worth every calorie-filled bite. I just have to limit my visits. My sister is obsessed with their hot-fudge sundae and shakes. Neither of us have ordered a coffee drink yet. I don't see it happening anytime soon since we can't tear ourselves away from that ice cream, but I imagine their coffee-making is just as adept. The service is always fantastic. The employees are super chill and happy and incredibly fast. They don't skimp on portions either. What is it about happy people serving you a big ol' cup of dreamy ice cream that is just so very pleasant? Seriously, go through the drive-thru here, get that ice cream, and enjoy a little cup of heaven to sweeten your day. You won't regret it!

    Jeni's ice cream is one of the finest in the city. They always have a mix of traditional flavors…read morelike brownie batter, cookie dough, chocolate, and some whimsical ones like Hibiscus chili and Goat cheese red chili, and I like to dabble between both. Their ice creams are creamy and naturally flavored. I have tried the Brambleberry Crunch, which is one of my favorites. Their Darkest Chocolate ice cream is also delicious and decadent. But the Hibiscus Chili was the most underrated flavor. I think it deserves a lot more hype. The ice cream shop at this location can get very busy, but the service is extremely quick. The team at Jeni's is always patient with me, even when I am confused with all their range of flavors. I particularly love how the shop smells of baked waffle cones.

It's long, it's inevitable, and trying to fight it is a rookie mistake. Because when ice cream is this profoundly good, crowds happen. Step two: Don't panic. The crew behind the counter operates with the high-speed efficiency of a pit crew, yet somehow maintains the absolute patience of saints while you undergo an existential crisis deciding on flavors. My personal blueprint for success was all about contrast. I engineered a double-scoop masterpiece: a heavy, deeply decadent, unapologetic chocolate base, perfectly countered by a lighter, delicate second scoop to balance the universe. It was an elite flavor pivot. Delicious doesn't even cover it. Meanwhile, my wife absolutely devoured her fruit-forward flavors with a speed that felt slightly competitive. Total sensory overload in the best way possible. I'm giving this place a flawless five stars, mostly because I have to, but also because I am currently stalking the freezer aisle of my local Publix like a person possessed, trying to hunt down pints to replicate this high until I can get back to Nashville. Do your tastebuds a favor. Just get in line.

I did appreciate they gave me 2 extra cups so I was able to easily divide it for my 3 kids. The ice cream itself was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. Unfortunately, there was a noticeable rancid oil smell inside the shop, which detracted from the experience. There is plenty of indoor seating, but the space lacks much ambiance or character. On a nice day, the outdoor area is definitely the better option. One downside is parking. Much of the street parking in 12 South has recently been changed to permit-only, which is a huge bummer. There are a few spots directly in front of the shop, but your best bet is probably parking near Sevier Park and walking over. Overall, it was okay, but given the price and the experience, I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

While a friend was in town and on the 4th of July where the area was far less busy we made the trip over there! The seasonal ice cream was peach - which is one of my favorite summer flavors! I thought the ice cream was good, I really loved the pickle dip for the fries on the side, and I got just the plain salted fries which were also good. However, as a place that does just fries and ice cream I expected the fries to be more than just good. Maybe getting a flavor would have improved them but I think the basic fry should stand out on its own. We had arrived shortly after opening the the grease from the fryer kinda filled the space as well, which wasn't the most appetizing smell but it's hard with a mostly open kitchen. The employees were really kind and the food came out quickly! I enjoyed my experience overall, but I think I had bigger expectations for the fries in my head than in reality.
