Food 4/5: I got a seasonal latte that was well balanced. I also got the everything bagel with egg and cheese. This is a premade sandwich that they put on a panini press. I really liked the crisp that the press put on it, overall the flavor came from the seasoning on the bagel and lacked flavor outside of that. I do love that they have more protein heavy choices in the egg than just pasties. Service 5/5: the staff was very friendly and I could tell they take good care of their locals. Ambiance 4/5: this place I could see getting very noisy. It's almost all concrete. There were a few people taking conference calls and you could hear every word. If you're ok with people overhearing your conversation, not a problem. There is a more secluded couch section in the back that looked cozy. Overall a good spot to try if you're in the neighborhood and are looking for good coffee and pastries/bagel sandwiches. read more

Fun hidden coffee shop in Northeast! We were in the area and had never been. Not many places carry soy milk so I was pumped when I heard they did and got their chai latte with soy, it was fabulous! A bit more spice than others but I really liked the extra kick and loved the cozy chill neighborhood coffee shop atmosphere. read more

Super cute space and super kind staff. My WiFi went out at home and I came over to work and it was wonderful. I'm loving the vibe and there's plenty of street parking! The chicken salad wrap is pretty good and creamy. The matcha latte could be a bit sweeter, but pretty good overall. I'm definitely planning to come back to get more things on the menu. read more

We were not impressed. This place is not cozy - the little metal tables seem more like a Subway. The service was blah and the restroom requires stairs and a hike through the building. There are so many wonderful coffeeshop options in Northeast that there is sadly no reason to return here. read more

Our #urbansketchers group met here prior to dispersing to sketch. We packed the place on a Saturday late morning. Staff was wonderful. I ordered a latte and it was steamy hot and tasty. They had several indoor areas to connect (we took over most). The wall of plants caught my eye so that is my pic. It's near the Grain Belt Brewery complex which is full of amazing architecture. It's also close to a park with sculptures, equally cool. read more

How have I not been to Sip before?? I finally found myself in this cute cafe near the old Grain Belt buildings is a treat. It's by Bunny's in the Art District. It's a great space with a variety of seating-- an assortment of tables, a lounge at the front with planters in the background, and a lounge in the back with an area for the kiddos to boot. I was pleasantly surprised with how many food and drink options they offer. You can get sandwiches, hot soup, smoothies, lots of caffeinated drinks, pastries and they also have a lot of great gluten free options. I got the miel (honey) latte and a gluten and dairy free vanilla donut with raspberry icing. I thought the donut was fantastic and didn't feel like I was "missing out" on any gluten or dairy. The latte was way too sweet for my taste, but I look forward to trying one of their many other options next time. The free wifi works like a charm too! read more

A quality cup of coffee and a delightful breakfast sandwich (it was pressed like a panini! So good) makes this spot enjoyable! But the slightly moody staff might leave you feeling a little awkward after your stop. Decent parking to be able to pop in and grab a good cup of coffee to go. read more

Talk about the other side of the tracks. Sip is tucked away in a former industrial/warehouse section of the city that is being renovated as is much of N.E. In the Community Keg House which is still filling with businesses. Sip is a modern, sleek coffeebar with the usual amenities. The dark roast was extra robust with a lingering aftertaste which is a good thing. This is a quiet place for study and talking with friends with ample comfortable seating. There is a nice selection of pastries which I'll have to try someday. read more

As someone who is gluten free, I always get so excited when I go out and find lots of options and with this place I hit the jackpot! They had doughnuts, cookies, muffins, and scones, coffee, tea, smoothies and everything looked great! If you are in need of lunch, they had a good sandwich menu (all of which can also be made GF) that would satisfy everyone's liking. I got a GF doughnut but it was great, I can't wait to go back and try all of there other bakery items and lunches! This coffee shop is located right in Minneapolis' art district so the atmosphere was fun! read more

I absolutely love their Cafe Miel. It has the taste of sweet honey and cinnamon that is just so delicious and comforting! If I don't get that one I get a Caramel Latte or a Mocha. When I brought my daughter to her Saturday dance class at Straighline Dance Fitness, I discovered Sip Coffeebar which is in the same building. It has a very large space, with decent seating and high ceilings. The food selection is good too. The baristas are always nice and friendly and they make it a treat to go get a coffee while we wait for class to start. I like how there is a play area for the kids and a shelf of toys they can play with. The restrooms are located in the basement, and you have to walk down a flight of dodgy looking stairs to get there but it's all good. The building is also home to many local arts and craft shops, which is very fitting since this is right in the heart of the Northeast Arts District. Lovely area, great coffee shop, and cool vibe. I make it my Saturday latte spot! read more

It was a rainy day in MN, and SiP was the perfect cozy spot to spend the afternoon sipping warm drinks and doing some work with the lovely Annie D. The barista working was super friendly and made me the yummiest "hot white chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows" I've ever had... Not that I have "hot white chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows" that often, but hey, I'm pregnant and wanted to treat myself! SiP has a great selection of coffee and tea drinks as well. It's clean, they have free wi-fi, and I see they are now open until 8pm... bonus for those who live nearby. My only (minor) complaint is that the restroom is kind of a far walk down some stairs, etc... not a big deal at all, but when you're pregnant and have to go several times an hour, it's not so convenient. The bathroom, however is clean and has multiple stalls. At least I worked off a few of those hundreds of calories I drank while hanging at SiP with my walks to the ladies room. Bottom line: awesome coffeebar - I'm a huge fan after just one visit and would definitely be a frequent visitor if I lived nearby. read more

This coffee shop may be hard to find if you didn't know where it was but it's definitely worth the search. The chill lighting and the aesthetic is there but I feel like they could use art work on the walls being that it's in the art district. The coffee is good as well as the food, especially the baked goods. In all a clean tidy tucked away shop, I would recommend it! read more

SO CUTE! I didn't even know this place was here, but sooo cute! It is a local coffee shoppe and adorable! The coffee was delicious and the selection of bakery goods was decent. I had the Bread Pudding muffin, which was amazing! Very filling where it was part breakfast and saved for a snack in the afternoon, and they were not dry!!! YUM! I think this is a great little cafe with cute decor and personality. I will be back to support this coffee shop! read more

I work nearby and come here pretty regularly for coffee and/or lunch. They have a pretty good selection of food and great coffee. Baristas are all very friendly. I don't recommend their bagel sandwiches as they're pre-made and when they're heated up the bagel can get soggy since its not pre-toasted. Some of their sandwiches can be very bread heavy. Overall though, this place has never let me down. One random thing about this place is that they have THE BEST BRAN MUFFINS EVER! Seriously. I've tried some of their other muffin but their bran is definitely their best. I'm not a big bran muffin person, but this place has converted me- but only theirs. If you're thinking of a treat with your coffee, get the bran muffin. read more

Have you seen the movie Drive? You know, where Ryan Gosling completely wins you over, despite never learning his character's name and the insane violence he deals his enemies? It feels like SiP came straight out of that movie. It has an LA-throwback-neon-metallic-stark-vibe, which is more of a curse than a blessing, in my book. I just don't see myself getting really comfortable in SiP, which for me is the primary measuring stick of any coffeeshop. Perhaps my tastes are too traditional, but the bright red chairs and blue-striped walls were jarring for me. Very little personality here. As others have said, the baristas are gracious, and the coffee was good. The hours are odd; for instance, they close at 2 PM on Saturday's. There was nothing memorable enough to draw me back, unless I lived within half a mile or so. read more

I was in the area and wanted a place to grab a latte and do some reading, and Google Maps suggested Sip. I'm so glad I stopped in! The space feels very open, and the decor is clean and modern. The couch by the window was a comfy place to settle in for a few hours. The barista suggested I try the Café Miel latte, which I really enjoyed. It was delicious and tasted like a graham cracker! I absolutely loved that I could just get half a sandwich wrap, which was a reasonable price. At most coffee shops, they make you cough up the dough for an entire sandwich that is just too big to eat in one sitting, forcing you to choose whether to rush your leftovers home, or waste food while you relax at the coffee shop. At Sip, I got a latte, half a sandwich, and a pastry all for less than $10. Great coffee, great food, great value. I look forward to going back! read more

Another great Northeast neighborhood gem. Friendly staff, nice menu, good coffee and free wifi. My salted caramel latte was great today. I could actually taste the salt, which is a big plus in my book. SIP's coffee of the day is also always good. Adequate selection of light sandwiches and sweets. Only two sofas, so if you're looking to lounge a while, it's hit or miss on grabbing one. Bottom Line: everything you want or need in a neighborhood coffee shop, smiles included. read more

Nice little place tucked in behind the Pierre-Bottineau Library in NE Minneapolis! Comfortable seating whether at a table or cozy chairs and couches. I tried the Turkey Chèvre Panini, which was delicious and filling, and a cup of African Dream tea, which was a wonderful rooibos tea (herbal). Sip is not easy to see from the road, but if you turn off next to the old Grain Belt Brewery, it's easy to find. Worth the trip, especially if spending some time at the library and need a break. read more

Ok, last update for this place, promise! It couldn't be helped as I went from a 1-2 times a monther to 1-2 times a weeker. I've branched out from my usual quinoa and cold press. In fact, it's been awhile since I've had the quinoa as I'm currently enamored with their soups and sandwiches. I've had the roast beef and provolone, made with their own house pesto, the veggie wrap, and a couple of the "sandwich of the day". I've yet to have a soup I haven't liked, and they make them fresh every day. Check their Facebook, they usually post what the soup + sandwich of the day are. They also have a couple salads, chefs and I think a spinach salad with craisins. Usually a cold pasta in the display case next to the quinoa. I've been eying both of these and have been on the fence, but the desire for a hot bowl of soup is usually too hard to pass up. Someday when I'm not running late for work, I'll make it here for breakfast read more

Good coffee, very slow service. There was only one staff member working on Saturday. It took 30 minutes to get an order in and another 10 minutes for our order to be prepared. They were sold out of quiche. The breakfast burrito was bomb.com. read more

Great coffee, food, smoothies, and service!!! I had a chicken salad wrap and they wrapped all of the salad in lettuce before the tortilla- this is a small detail to point out but it keeps the tortilla from getting soggy. Also, they helped me to my car with my to-go lunch order as I wrangled my daughter which makes them angels. read more

Yawn. Oh, sorry but this fun looking coffee shop was a bore. The cheese sandwich was good (but PLAIN), the coffee was well coffee. The blended drink was good but TINY for the amount of $$ cash it cost. I would skip this place and try somewhere else that wasn't as spendy $$ read more

Better than average baristas and better than average coffee. Better than average atmosphere and better than average sandwiches. Hooray! The prices were fair and comparable with other coffee shops. My only wish for Sip, like many of the other reviewers, is that they stay open later. They close around 3:30 p.m., and I don't know about you, but that's when I really get into my groove. Workus interruptus. The location by the Grainbelt Bottling House is off the main drag just a bit (and over some rickety railroad tracks). You can either park on the street or in the lot across the street for free if you drive. The atmosphere is clean, colorful and modern, with a few tables for working or chatting, and a lounge-type area for reading. The few tables outside aren't anything spectacular, but if you need to be outdoors, they are there for you. Sip has this library shelf on wheels that you can borrow from (or donate to, I suppose). I love the idea!!! read more

I'm happy to have spent a leisurely afternoon at SiP. It's neatly tucked away next to the Grainbelt building in NE, and judging from the numerous stop-ins, it's clearly appreciated (and frequented) by regulars...and for good reason: The baristas are uber-friendly. Beyond the standard "Hello, what can I get for you?" they asked how my day was going and commented on my hair. Aw, shucks. They also made a dang good Cafe Miel. When I ordered I was concerned that I might have overdone it considering I had just devoured dark chocolate in my car, but it was perfect and definitely earned the Alex H. stamp of approval! The space is decorated boldly in teals, reds and browns and I am pretty sure I've spotted most of the furniture at Ikea--making for a cool, urban atmosphere. Although I appreciate that they're brave enough to splash the place with some serious color, I have to say that it isn't the most cozy environment to hang out in--nothing to do with the baristas, of course--but the seating just isn't comfortable, especially if you're looking to plant yourself for an extended period of time. I agree with Jennifer K. on this one--when I'm back in the area I'll stop in, but I'm not sure it'll be a go-to hang out. read more

Sip! Sip! You are so good. First off, guys, did you know that Sip makes totally delicious quiches and other breakfast goodies? I did not, until I went out on a limb and called them when I was in need of a big breakfast to transport all the way to my office in the 'burbs. I was shocked when the girl on the phone replied, "Yeah! We can do that." Oh yeah, I was giving them a whole day heads up, which isn't exactly a lot of time when I'm ordering three quiches. I went by to pick up my quiches and fruit, and they had them all warm (the quiches, anyway!) and ready to go. I also ordered two jugs of coffee, and the cups, cream, sugar, napkins, etc. were all packed up for me, too. It was such a smooth experience, AND right in my 'hood. Okay, but the food. Like I said. So. Good. We got one quiche with veggies like broccoli and onion with cheese, one with bacon and cheese, and one of a bit of everything. They were amazing! Everyone was raving, after a long period of silence wherein we were shoving the food into our mouths and unable to speak. The fruit was fresh and a flavorful assortment of all the usual suspects (berries, melon). And the coffee! I ordered the dark roast for my crew, and was so happy when someone asked what "FTO" stood for on the box. Why, fair-trade organic, of course! Not only is the coffee delicious, but I could feel good about buying it (and teaching my co-workers a thing or two!). Sip is also a fun place to sit down with a laptop or another real-life human being and hang out for a while. There are tables up front by the window, but there's also a sweet little couch area in the back that makes you feel like you're chatting in your own living room. The Cherry Almond Latte is ridiculously good, but I have a total crush on all things cherry-almond. The latte was a lot less sweet than I was anticipating, but added the perfect bit of sweet + nutty to the espresso. The Miel is also delicious; I get mine made light on the honey to avoid a saccharin experience. Let's get down to it. Sip is awesome. They cater, they do coffee, they do just about everything, and they do it well. Sure, sometimes there is a plethora of hipsters hanging out with their laptops and making me feel like 27 is granny-age, but that isn't Sip's fault. They also do sandwiches, pastries, yogurt + granola, and lots of other nosh, so be prepared to want it all! read more

My favorite place for good coffee NE. I often stop by on my way to work. Lately I've been craving their breakfast sammy with ham, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. They warm it and press it in the panini press- so good! With the weather, I've been moving back to hot drinks. Their turtle mocha is glorious and rich without being too sweet. Thanks, dark chocolate! Today I tried the Mexican Mocha- dark chocolate with cayenne and cinnamon. Yum! Such a warming drink. Will definitely be going back! read more

SiP is that little secret place that hardly anyone knows about. Don't let the modern decor phase you, this place is cozy and nestled right into the Keg House (near the old Grain Belt Brewery). They have tables, comfy couches, and snugly chairs. The baristas are the nicest ones in town! At first, they give you the impression that they're just happy to see more people come in. I'm not sure they get too much traffic. However, it's a gem of a place! I've never had a bad experience from when I started going and since I've gone regularly. The espresso is pretty good. Let's just say I don't remember the last time I've had bad shots there. It's not thee best in town, but I would compare it to Dunn Bros. My favorite is their coldpress! It's excellent and my favorite way to start the day. Their bakery items are TOO DIE FOR! You can tell they bake everything themselves. So tasty! Overall, they know what they're doing and I've consistantly been happy with their beverages. Pastries will hook you in and the help will win your heart! Watch out! read more

Well, I went to SiP because of its stellar reviews. Unfortunately, I didn't have a great experience. The shop is small--which isn't necessarily a bad thing-- but it looks like a temporary space decorated by Ikea. It has no homey feel. (Of course this is probably strengthened by the fact that it's surrounded by warehouses). I frequent coffee shops because I never get any work done at home and something about the coffee shop atmosphere helps me get stuff done. On this particular visit, I went to read for an hour or two. I'm not usually affected by noise. People coming and going is more pleasing than distracting. Unfortunately, though, the baristas at SiP were INSANELY LOUD. They were clanging what sounded like pots and pans for 10 MINUTES. Because the place is so small, despite being behind a wall it was crazy loud. I considered leaving right then. This was followed by piling the trashbags in front of my table, leaving them there, and then dragging them outside later. The baristas were nice otherwise, but I probably wouldn't go back unless I was in the neighborhood. The atmosphere and noise--despite the fact that it might have just been this instance-- were not worth the trip. For those who really do like SiP, though, you will be happy to hear they are now open until 8:00pm on weeknights! read more

My time here started with a wise purchase of a mocha smoothie. I realize an over caloried drink probably shouldn't be on my menu but was such a wise choice. Might be the best I've had. As I sipped this morning jump starter, I looked around at the contemporary decor and finely painted green and brown color scheme. The Beatles and some other acoustic bands played in the background as I surfed the web. The barista was pleasant, patient and wearing a super cute sun dress. It was not over or under crowded. The perfect amount of people weave in and out, never causing a sense of the daily grind rush. read more

The staffs are really nice here and they make killer drinks. I dont normally drink coffee, but I almost finished a whole latte here. The food here is also decent. Unlike other reviewers, the one thing that I DO NOT LIKE at all about this place is the decor. This place gives me a cold and very hygiene-hospitalized-industrialized feeling. It's not comfortable feeling. This is not a place where I want to hang out, relax and do some reading or some work, but I will definitely stop back here again if in the area for some killer drinks. read more

Just arrived now. Nice, quite, tucked away place. Here to work and WiFi password was given without the feeling of, "oh, your gonna work here" by the barista. Struck up a brief convo and now working. Might be back tomorrow. read more

SiP is a great little coffee shop up in northeast Minneapolis in the old Grain Belt campus. Their coffee options are quite good and reasonable, and there are other options from smoothies to cans of pop for those that don't want to take the coffee route. They also offer a good selection of sandwiches (both halves and whole), soups, as well as snacks like cookies and brownies and so on. The staff here is great as well; helpful if you're a bit indecisive and very friendly as well. My only realy complaint might be that the interior could maybe use a little bit of a boost. The seating isn't the best and the decor is somewhat lacking as well, but none of these things are dealbreakers by any stretch. Overall I definitely recommend this little shop if you're looking for a good spot for lunch or just a cup of coffee. read more

I went here because I had a coupon. I thought the food was reasonably priced for a coffee shop (and well within the realm of normal prices with a 50% off coupon). The barista was nice, friendly, and much better than the average one I've met, so I tipped her, even though I'm generally a stingy old coot. read more

Decided to come back a second time and try the quiche lorraine which is just as delicious as the spinach and tomato quiche! I had a chai tea latte which I did enjoy a lot more than the mexican mocha. There's just something about a chai tea latte that makes me feel so comforted and relaxed! I decided to try the bread pudding muffin even though I didn't have a great muffin experience the first time and i'm glad I did! This muffin was a teensy bit dry but my latte helped wash it down. It had good flavor and nice plump raisins! I like to get here within the first hour of them opening so it's nice and peaceful and I can enjoy a little reading on my kindle to go along with breakfast! read more

This little place is tucked away in Northeast- so tucked away, I'm not even sure how people know about it! But great news, free parking. So...coffee isn't awesome. Not terrible, just not awesome. They do have a great space though for business meetings, or getting work done. It's pretty quiet. Another perk is that they have a pretty large food menu with sandwiches, baked goods, salads, etc. I haven't tried any, but I always like having real food options, not just a packaged muffin and some vinegar chips. read more
