SIPS really is a hidden gem! I was invited to meet a colleague here and I'm so glad I did! I had one of their seasonal drinks, the "Sand and Sea Latte" with almond milk and I could not pass up, an almond croissant. Both were delicious. I also had a chance to meet the owners and learn a little more about SIPS. They're members of the Ventura Chamber of Commerce, which I love supporting. If you're looking for a local place to grab coffee, enjoy a pastry, meet up with someone, or support a small business in our community, give SIPS a try. I'll definitely be back, and I may even have to check out one of their Trivia Nights! read more

I've come twice and I love the coffee!! They use beacon beans. I get the iced almond milk vanilla latte and it's perfection. Delicious! I'm excited to see what the owners decide to do with the business - and see how it evolves. I'd love to see it become more family friendly in the am and more adult in the pm. I'd love to bring kids during the day, but nervous with the wine bottles in the sitting area. It's a great shop! read more

This place is truly a hidden gem. Tucked behind a few businesses, it can be a little difficult to spot at first, but once you find it, you'll discover a warm and welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for relaxing. It's never overly crowded or overwhelming, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a peaceful experience. My wife and I often stop by on weekend mornings for coffee. While it can get a bit busier when the nearby church lets out, it still maintains a comfortable and laid-back vibe. It's one of our favorite spots to sit back, relax, and enjoy some quiet time together. We've also had the opportunity to try their wine, and it was a fantastic experience. It's great to have such a wonderful local business close to home, offering quality coffee and wine without the hassle of heavy traffic or large crowds. This place deserves more recognition than it gets. Although it's somewhat hidden, it's become one of our favorite places to visit, and we always look forward to coming back. read more

I stumbled across this place whilst walking to the torture chamber aka "the gym". It is an interesting vibe, having the ability to serve coffee as well as beer and wine. The barista I spoke with, Destiny, did a great job engaging me in conversation, which I appreciated. You can order your coffee and then sit at the bar while conversing with the barista. Very cool model, almost European viz. Italy or France. I'm down with any place that provides actual human interaction besides "can I take your order." Great coffee. I've had an Americano and a quad-shot cappuccino, both of which were excellent. Keep up the good work. I'd be very interested in the genesis of this particular product delivery model, given the blending of "genres", shall we say. Someone put a lot of thought into this. read more

I first came to Sips at a Yelp evening event, but was curious enough to return to feel out their daytime vibe, and to try their coffee menu. I came on Sun. afternoon, and it was super quiet and chill. I got their unique Shakerato- a shaken espresso served in a sleek martini glass. The shakerato was so good and elegantly presented. Pastries are from Cafe Ficelle. The lead barista is of the school that takes pride in crafting each drink and not letting the machine automatically do all the work. The brother sister owners bring their culinary wine and beer experience to their cafe, but they invested into learning about coffee. Sips uses Beacon roasters who actually train cafe baristas on how to produce the best shots using their beans, so it's a true coffee collaboration. The cafe vibe is bright, airy and cozy. The owner was there and we chatted for awhile- he said they are ultimately happy to be a neighborhood local cafe- they're not trying to be Starbucks and be super high volume. They want to serve the East end of Ventura, which does not have a lot of mom/pop style cafes and restaurants. read more

What an absolute Ventura gem. They have it all - coffee, beer, wine, paninis, and snacks - perfect for any time of day. We found them a month ago and have managed to come here at least twice a week since then. Love their coffee. Really enjoy starting my day with one of their matchas, but they also make great shakeratos. Full espresso bar with plenty of options. Great curated local beers and wine. Delicious paninis. We've been on a mission to try them all, and our clear favorite is their pastrami. Bread both soft and crispy with the perfect amount of pastrami and cheese. Also really enjoy their pizza panini. If you're a grilled cheese fan, theirs is fire. Love the vibe. Super laid back, like you're coming in to visit friends. They also host fun events. We enjoyed their recent bubbles event where we got to try a nice sample of Prosecco, cava, and champagne. Overall, wonderful stop. Highly recommend stopping by for a good time. read more

SIPS has become one of my favorite spots to come too. Both owners, Katie and Brooks, are super sweet and I love their selection. Brooks even has my husband's favorite cider and my favorite beer on tap. It's a nice place to go do work in the morning to enjoy a nice cup of coffee or matcha with some Cafe Ficelle pastries and then stick around to enjoy some beer or wine and some of their snacks. They offer both inside seating and outdoor. Went in the AM one time with my dog and it was the perfect weather to sit outside and enjoy my matcha. I can't wait to go and enjoy their trivia night and take more friends with me. read more

Been eyeing this place for a hot minute because I keep seeing it pop up on my feed whenever I'm looking for a new coffee place. Finally took the plunge a few weeks ago, and I regret that I didn't take the plunge sooner. The place is really cozy, the service is great, and the owners are so friendly. The atmosphere here is so convivial that I'd come here even before knowing about the drinks and the food. Now lets get to the drinks. They serve Beacon Coffee, which is one of the best coffee roasters in Ventura. The first time I was here I got a picture perfect (and taste perfect) cortado. However, ever since coming here, my guilty little pleasure has been their Shakerato with a little bit of half and half - which isn't available anywhere else in Ventura. They have a generous selection of both wines and beers, and I can personally attest that the beer selection is well-curated. Most coffee places don't really have good food. However, the paninis here are so tasty and well-priced. Gourmet quality for a neighborhood cafe value. Lastly, they have lots of little fun events that we are for sure going to go to more. If you're looking for a unique coffee, wine, beer bar experience, then I highly recommend you come to SIPS. read more

~ COFFEE BY DAY, WINE & BEER BY NIGHT (or all day), SIPS IS THAT GEM ~ Sips Coffee Wine Beer is such a great neighborhood find and exactly what the east end of Ventura needed. The space is open, welcoming, and easy to hang in. With indoor and outdoor seating plus a big TV if youre catching a game! Drinks are the star here. I had an iced salted caramel latte and a vanilla caramel iced latte are both 10/10 (seriously so good!!), and seasonal drinks like the pumpkin patch latte are a hit too. Espresso runs until about 3pm, and after that it's all about the local beer taps, fridge gems, and a solid wine selection. Just a note they do serve alcohol in the AM too, mimosa anyone? Food-wise, the caprese panini (add the prosciutto!) was so delicious, I had to order another one to-go! Big shoutout Destiny for the friendly service and thoughtful touches (cute notes on the cups!). Briefly spoke to Brooks (one of the owners) and you can really feel the care and expertise behind this place. Definitely a new local favorite, can't wait to come back!! read more

Came for the Paninis, stayed for the vibes! The wait is over, SIPS is fully operational with their alcohol license. Yay. SIPS Coffee, Wine, Beer is one of the newest spots to hit Ventura, and it's everything I hoped it would be and more. By day, it's your go-to for lattes, coffee, and baked goods. By afternoon/night, it transforms into a cozy wine and beer bar...the best of both worlds. I'd been waiting for them to get their alcohol license, and once they did, I ran over for a little Monday fun day. The space is warm, inviting, and full of personality, think beautiful murals, cozy corners, and an easygoing atmosphere. You can grab a seat at the high-top bar to explore their rotating beer list or soak up some sunshine on the patio with a glass of wine and a light bite. I brought my partner in crime and we had a blast! The brother-sister duo behind SIPS, Brooks and Katie, are absolute gems, they are so warm and welcoming that it felt like we'd known them forever. Brooks is the mastermind behind the brews, and Katie knows her wine inside and out. We loved trying a variety of local beers and wines and learning about their selections. Snagged a few cans / collabs from local businesses like Beacon, Bright Spark, Rincon Brew and Balcom Cider. The menu is simple and delicious: they have paninis, charcuterie boards, and light bar snacks to pair with your drink of choice. I had the Caprese Panini with added prosciutto paired with a Rincon Oktoberfest beer...heavenly! And my mom went for an extra-3 cheese panini with a vanilla iced latte. She's a total latte connoisseur and said it was one of the best she's had in the county. Between the friendly faces, fantastic drinks, and cozy vibes, SIPS is definitely going into my regular rotation. Open six days a week (closed Tuesdays) -- don't sleep on this spot, Ventura! Welcome to the neighborhood friends :) read more

This is a great little gem! First of all big thank you to Brooks for making the first experience a great one! The setting is nice and wide open with seating outside and plenty of seats in side. Also don't forget they have a big TV to catch a football game. The espresso closes at 3pm so I'll definitely be back for some shots. The local taps are amazing! But they also have some hidden gems in the fridge. Definitely a new local favorite. read more

I got a salted caramel iced latte with almond milk, Caprese panini that comes with a side salad, and an almond croissant. All to go. Doesn't seem overwhelming but also has alternative options. Nice environment, friendly people, and tasty food. It all was good over 30 minutes later. Definitely a good spot. Very good flavors and pleasant place. Worth trying, in my opinion. They also have beers and wines. I think you can sit at the counter and at tables inside and out. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough! Want coffee or tea? Got it. Need a good sammich? Got it- best pastrami in my life! Same with the pizza panini. Need a drink after work or even earlier like me? They have beer, cider and wine. Looking for local events like trivia and such? They have that too. My favorite part is the people who work there. They have a few outlets for those who wanna work remotely from there, they have free and reliable wifi. Love this spot!!! read more

Wow, what an amazing vibe and even better drinks! We ordered a vanilla caramel iced latte (10/10) might've been the best latte I've ever had, wife had a pumpkin patch latte which she absolutely loved. Destiny the barista was very nice and made our drinks quickly and even wrote a little note on each cup which made us smile. We also tried the blue mermaid protein bowl and that hit the spot. Excited to come back to try their other foods and the wife is excited to try their beers and wines. Had a chance and talk to the owners - Katie has a background of working in the wine industry for over a decade, her brother and co-owner Brooks has a background in beer. Super excited for the most amazing blend of expertise across the board. Highly recommend!!!!! read more

Stopped on my way to Santa Barbara to escape the afternoon traffic and was met with a really peaceful atmosphere. I had the Matcha and honestly this was one of the best matchas I have purchased- I typically only like the Matcha that I make myself at home! It was a very productive atmosphere with lots of tables to work at, and it felt like a very community oriented spot. Would definitely recommend Sips read more

Sips is one of the best spots in Ventura County for wine, beer, coffee, and a good selection of awesome food as well. I can't say enough good things about this place, and I drag all my friends there. They have an outstanding wine selection (by the glass, bottle, or through their pantry to take home), awesome beers, and more. I love the pizza panini. It's tasty, filling, and nostalgic. There's nothing negative to say about this place. Go! read more

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. They are super friendly and their coffee is simply excellent. Wish there were more places like this. You can tell that they take a lot of pride in their business. Wishing them tons of success. read more

Next time I'm in town I'll definitely stop by again for a coffee. 10/10 flavor. read more

Just opened so I popped in for some coffee and food. Ambiance was very laid back with an unmistakable Ventura flair(maybe it was the surfing on the tv) staff was extremely friendly and the owner even pulled my espresso shots. I got a cortado and the caprese panini. Forgot to get a picture of the cortado before I drank it, but it was delicious, finally a nice coffee shop on this side of town close to my house. Panini came with a pickle spear and a bag of mrs Vicki's kettle chips(or side salad.) panini was delicious, you can tell they use good cheeses. My only regret is not adding the prosciutto, oh well, next time. I'll definitely be back read more

Sips Coffee and Wine Bar is such a fun find! The atmosphere is comfy, relaxed, and welcoming, and the vibe is absolutely on point. Even with a full house, it never felt crowded or rushed. The wine selection is amazing, with great options for every taste, plus excellent ciders and beers. The live music was a huge highlight....original music that felt like a free concert and added so much energy to the afternoon. Food was just as good as the drinks; the triple cheese panini was yummy, warm, and totally satisfying. Service was excellent from start to finish, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Love the vibe, love the food and drinks, and love the atmosphere. This place really nails the full experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

SIPS is a new coffee shop / wine and beer bar just off of Johnson. Such a cool concept for a business! The owners are a brother and sister duo who are so kind and welcoming. Katie has been in the wine business forever and has a super intimate knowledge of all things wine. Brooks is the beer side of the operation with experience in local craft breweries. So they really know their stuff! I can't wait until the grand opening so we can see their full selection. I know it's going to be thoughtful, unique, and amazing. I visited the weekend of the soft opening and tried a couple coffees on the menu as well as some pastries (which are from Cafe Ficelle! If you know, you know.) They also have a bigger selection of food that I'll have to try on my next visit. I got a cortado and a shakerado (a must try). They came in fancy glasses which added to the fun experience. Both drinks were really good, came out quickly, and clearly made with love. The shop is clean, easy to get to, has plenty of seating inside and an outdoor patio, easy parking, and lots of outlets if you want to hang out for a while. The bathroom was also super clean which is always a plus! I am so excited to see this family-owned business succeed. I'm always happy to support small business and these owners are good people worth giving your business to! read more
