First time here! Staff is super friendly and the cold press is great. Their homemade almond lemon muffin is incredible. Nice chill area, modern space and very very calm. Didn't have trouble finding a spot to read on Saturday afternoon. I wish they had more outside space (they do have some chairs and tables) but their options are limited with the space. Great place!

What a find! I have lived 2 blocks away for 2 years, never knew it was there. Sip has an excellent array of coffee for even the most sophisticated coffee drinker. Also, they have a great choice of hand made breakfast and lunch fares, not to mention dessert! I make up reasons to go here now, I wish they were open on Sundays.

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.

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.

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

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!

Very sophisticated coffee experience. Nice big space to have lunch with cool chairs to sit in. Great meeting place for lunch meetings. Good sandwiches and treats. 7 layer bars and chocolate chip cookies are my favorites. It mainly services the Grain Belt Complex businesses. Check it out when visiting 13th Ave artists and art businesses on the street.

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!

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.
(4)Kelly A.
This place was a total surprise! First, I didn't know it existed since it's tucked away a bit, secondly, the food is fantastic (yay! gluten free options!) as is the coffee! We will keep coming back here time and time again.
(5)Josh W.
Everything here is good. Expertly prepared espresso drinks, delicious housemade deli sandwiches and super yummy baked goods made from scratch, you simply can't go wrong. The dining area is airy and modern and perfect for a quick meeting or just hanging out. Service is always friendly and hospitable. They've got lots of gluten-free options including sandwiches made to order and gluten-free salads. Good stuff. An integral part of the bustling arts district around the historic Grain Belt Brewery, I'll be a customer at this woman-owned business for a long time.
(5)Rebecca R.
I'm somewhat of a morning regular at Sip, and I LOVE it! I usually get a cold press and a pastry of sorts. They bake them here! The bran muffins are my favorite. The staff are always friendly and helpful if I ever want to switch up my regular order to try something new. The atmosphere here is great. I'm currently being serenaded by the Drifters with "This Magic Moment" as I write this review and check work emails. The coffee shop is always clean and well taken care of. You have a nice variety of seating options around the shop - tables with chairs, couches, chairs with side tables, etc. This is a kid friendly coffee shop, and they have toys and books in a shelving unit near one of the carpeted areas. How cool is that? I've only seen kids in here once or twice, and I thought it was great that they could come along with their parents.
(4)Brittany E.
I went to the SIP after a few people telling me it was a great place, as I am a NE resident. And I work very close by. So I stopped over today and got half a chicken salad wrap and a latte miel...AMAZING. My latte was some sort of cinnamon honey frothy drink and not too sweet, which I loved. And I LOVED the wrap. Predone wraps are usually a fail in my book, but this one was fresh, delicious, and healthy. Very good recipe, not sure if it is made from scratch or bought, but very very good. My new go to coffee
(5)Heather A.
I often come to Sip to study. The vibe is relaxed and cozy. The coffee is some of the best in Minneapolis, but the pastries are amazing!!!!! I have been fortunate enough to walk in when they have still warm Danish and it is very exciting! A great place to relax, always crazy people watching and the nicest staff at any of the local coffee joints! I just wish they were open past 6 pm!
(5)Sarah S.
The building I work in a little more than a mile down the street but offers few nearby options for breakfast and lunch if you don't want fast food. Our office was looking for catering options and we came across Sip. Stopped by to check it out and I am excited to go back. The coffee bar is not hidden but not in an overly obvious place so it was quiet and calm and easy parking. The decor is modern and the menu boards are beautiful! They offer a nice variety of sandwiches (breakfast and lunch), bars, and pastries. Ordered an ice coffee and it was good. The barista was friendly and assisted us with the catering details without getting annoyed with our many questions. I am happy I found this coffee bar. I think I will become a regular!
(4)Joel O.
I love a good coffeehouse and this place is probably the best of what is available in its area. The coffee is good and there are many gluten-free options for those with allergies like my wife. Seating is decent but somewhat spread apart with a sense of discontinuity. I personally just feel that the overall flow and feel of the room is a bit simple and just a little bland. But like I said it is definitely a good place and I would recommend it for those who are looking to get out of the chain locations that plague the city. Support local businesses!
(4)Mike E.
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.
(3)Michael K.
Somewhat modern and sparse decor in a renovated old building. Nice choice of different types of mochas. Limited seating along the street, which is shaded in the morning. The barrista had a great personality.
(3)Kristi C.
A surprise find, off the beaten path. They make a strong and flavorful iced latte, one of the best I've had. The raspberry white chocolate scone was fresh baked and not too dry (like some scones can be). Super friendly service, not the most comfortable "sit & stay a while" atmosphere, but that's ok...sometimes I'm just passin' through!
(4)Angie S.
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!
(5)Rose M.
I love Sip! If you are allergic to everything like me you will greatly appreciate the fact that they have both gluten-free and lactose-free options. I am not a fan of soy, and they recently started offering almond milk as an option which is awesome. The baristas are always nice and everything is pretty reasonably priced. They also have free WiFi. No parking lot, but ample street parking.
(5)Paul S.
Found Sip via Yelp about a year ago. It was an awesome find! I love the Cafe Miel! My son sez the the Cappuccino is the BEST that he has had - in his whole lifetime. He just loves that Cappuccino! Give The Sip a try for Yum!
(5)Eric J.
interior design modernist star with cheap coffee and decent food selections on par with cafes. Limited outlets. Pretty view of old architecture. Wiggidy whack pothole street lead to it. Limited bicycle parking. A place to get away from the crowds.
(4)Matti G.
Cool little coffee shop. Great coffee. I need to give it a second chance on the food, my bagel sandwich was all chewy no crunch.
(3)Gabi M.
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.
(4)Joshua W.
Fast and delicious. Guy made my latte up in no time at all, if I had more than $10 on me at the time I would have got one of the homemade cookies or bars. They looked good enough to gain 10 lbs. just from imagining them entering your mouth.
(4)Alexandra H.
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.
(3)B V.
Sip is a great modern coffee shop with delicious drinks, service and baked goods. It's the perfect place to stop off for morning coffee shop and/or breakfast item (granola, bagels, egg sandwiches, fruit, etc) or lunch for their soup and sandwich specials. Sip also has a coffee 'rewards' program type of thing where if you buy 10 drinks you get a similar drink free. I'd give 4.5 stars if available only because their hours are very (sadly) limited. They are closed Sundays and only open until 2:30 on Saturdays and 3:30 Monday-Friday. It's probably for a good reason as they are so tucked away.
(5)Angela P.
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!
(4)Kelsey L.
Best lattes in MN! Pastries are always delicious
(5)Emily C.
I wouldn't say the people are incredibly friendly, but the coffee and treats are amazing. I also like the out of the way location in north east... It's not likely they get a lot of "drive by" traffic, but they're always relatively busy. That's a good sign. Try some of the baked goods.
(4)Miah U.
Amazing little gem!! I personally hate overcrowded coffee shops with loud music but this place hit the spot. Got a white chocolate turtle iced mocha (medium) and a banana chocolate muffin (which was both homemade AND amazing), both for $6.47 so pretty darn affordable!! It's air conditioned, quiet bliss and very very spacey with a variety of local magazines to digest if you didn't have anything to do but want to sit. 2 couches so good for first dates or hanging with a few friends. Something that's finally in NE that isn't snobbish and overpriced!
(5)Gaby I.
Totally in love with this coffee shop! It's a great place to come and work, and the food selection is awesome! Food is baked/prepared on-site and relatively healthier options. Drinks are made fresh and delicious every time. This place has a great vibe for chilling and working, or just hanging out with a friend. Great place!
(5)Tom E.
My only real complaint about SiP is its location. It's tucked away in a low-traffic area, removed from the neighborhoods I generally find myself in. That said, I'm still willing to occasionally make a special trip there, and that says a lot. I love the look and feel of the place, and while the more modern aesthetic might not be to everyone's taste, it does make SiP stand out among other coffee shops. Service is not quite as quick as at some of SiP's rivals, but the coffee is top-notch, and you can tell that they really take the time to get it right. On my most recent visit, the barista was training a new person, and it was clear to me that they take the training process seriously and make sure everyone who works there is up to the same standard. I, for one, really appreciate that, even if it takes a little longer. SiP also has great food options, based on what I've sampled. Their sweet stuff is large and rich enough to share, and they have some unique offerings like the bread pudding muffin (save some room for that one).
(4)Travis B.
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.
(4)Keith M.
It's a bit out of the way since it's down a ways from a big empty lot (due to be developed into a generic modern apartment building that will provide lots more residents within walking distance) and there's also a railroad track you have to cross, but it's certainly worth the detour *if*, and this is why the 4 stars, it's a weekday when they're open til 8PM. Saturdays though: 2PM. I live just blocks away, but by the time I'd be ready to go on a Saturday I'd have to leave in an hour to another coffee shop and Sundays they're closed all day, so without later hours Saturday this is a weekday only outing for me. The positives are the yummy baked goods made in house, of which I haven't had anything that left me disappointed. The espresso drinks are good too, as is the atmosphere which is modern, somewhat minimal, but there's enough color to make the environment feel more warm and relaxed. It has something on an Uptown feel to it, but in a good way. It's another great little spot on 13th.
(4)Carrie W.
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!
(4)Mon P.
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.
(3)Bryan P.
I stumbled across SiP as I started exploring my new neighborhood (Northeast) after my move. Needing a coffee shop to work done at for the afternoon, I decided to head in and give it a shot. The decor and feel inside is modern, which I'm usually not as in to but enjoyed at SiP. My coffee was tasty and hot, but I found myself wanting when I explored their pastries. Nothing really stuck out to me so I just got a pear instead (which was delicious as well). The Wi-Fi was strong enough and the tables accommodating enough for my work.. but for whatever reason, SiP just didn't stick out in my mind. It's certainly a quality coffee shop, I'm just not sure if it has the qualities I look for.
(3)Ashley B.
This is my second time here, and I've been quite pleased both times! It's a cute little indie coffeeshop surrounded by warehouses, which I find very romantic. Each time I've gotten an iced caramel latte, which is my go-to drink, and have been extremely happy with it-- it tastes like they use real caramel or something other than the same Torani caramel syrup other places use. It's very close to Ruff Love Dogs NE, which is another new discovery for me, and I've decided to try to bring my dog there for a few hours once a week and then get some work done here-- it's productive for both me and my puppy! The only complaint I have, and it is minor, is the furniture seems a bit cold. The red chairs are cute and I can see that perhaps they were going for a minimalist look, in which case they succeeded, but I like my coffee shops a little homier typically. Otherwise, great place! I hope it sticks around.
(4)Hannah G.
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!
(2)Annie D.
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!!!
(5)Emma H.
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.
(5)Aaron D.
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.
(5)Jennifer K.
I don't usually review coffee places-because they are usually a dime a dozen-except JAVA TRAIN-that's in it's own category of awesomeness. Anyway...I had a groupon that was going to expire and a paper to write for a class I'm taking..so off I went. It's in the Northeast-in the Tap House complex. It had a nice vibe-the baristas were great-and it seemed like most of the people must work nearby because they all seemed to know one another. I got a half sandwich and soup combo for six bucks-not bad at all. The split pea was great. I had a lovely latte and brought home a sandwich and an expresso brownie for Tim who declared it the best he'd ever had (since I'm usually the resident brownie maker, I wasn't sure if I liked that!) I had some too and I agreed-they were obviously baked right there-thick and amazing. Glad I had someone to give it to! Parking's a pain-but it's kind of an interesting place. Not sure I'd seek it out, but if I was in the area again...I might try to find another brownie of theirs!
(3)Ashley J.
what a GEM of a coffee shop! i mean that in the two ways that come to my mind: perhaps hidden and more unique as well as being fantastic. when i went after work to catch up on my reading, it was pretty empty in the shop, which i love. perhaps it could have been the impending rain, but honestly i think another factor is that this shop is tucked away (again, in my mind, only adding to its gem-ness). i enjoyed the industrial look of the place. industrial, but not cold. i cozied up on the leather couch in the back and kicked back with my book. it's nice to find coffee shops branch out with decor rather than going for the Friends Coffee Perk or Starbucks vibe. SiP achieves an awesome coffee shop vibe without being a cliche coffee shop. and the coffee's great to boot, too! ;)
(5)Rene B.
¡Great café! Not only do they have good coffee, they also provide a rockin' little lunch. Soup of the day and a good selection of fresh sandwiches (not to mention veggie friendly) at a reasonable price...oh, did I mention pastries too!
(5)Sarah J.
I'd say this was a great addition to NE, but apparently it's been around for a few years. I'd say I don't know how I missed it, but it's hidden in the Grain Belt complex, which isn't someplace I go since I don't have a studio or work for RSP (although I do like to gawk at the Brewhouse and pretend it's my castle). I'm glad I finally found Sip, location notwithstanding. The decor is perfect for a coffee shop, because it's somehow calming. The chair situation is not ideal - I'd like to see a couch or two. And for some reason they're WIFI hasn't worked the last two times I've been in. Fortunately, you can pick up a pretty strong signal from who-knows-where most of the time (linksys). The coffee is better than decent and they have nice teas. The sandwiches are tasty as well. I understand why it's not open past 4 - they must get 90% of their business from people who work in the Grain Belt complex - but it might become more of a neighborhood joint if they did try for evening hours. We yet don't get much in the way of late night coffee in Nordeast. Anybody? Anybody?

My mom and I went to Sip today at the recommendation of our banker at North East Community Bank (a great bank, btw). We walked up the stairs of a building behind the historic brewery in North East and were delightfully surprised by the chic appearance of Sip. Cool vases adorn one wall as you enter and the rest of the place, with cement floors, is sparse. I immediately wanted to know when there were spoken word and music performances there...then I saw that they closed early...OK... My mom and I order lunch, she an egg salad sandwich and I got a curry chicken wrap. My wrap was good. Too much lettuce (so, being a Yelper, I trimmed the tortilla and doubled up the chicken and had the sandwich I want!) and the curry itself was pretty good. A little more spice would be OK. Tortilla was really good. Then there was my mom's egg salad sandwich. We could have had a conversation had she stopped RAVING about the fresh multi grain bread and the yummy egg salad. I also had the blanco chili that was SUPER good. White beans that weren't over cooked and an unbeatable white chili flavor. Yum! My mom went back to get a snicker doodle and I had a cafe miel for dessert. Small espresso drinks are still $2.95, but very good. I love seeing cafe miels! And a nutella espresso? If I have time I'll go back for one of those... Great place in the corner of Mpls. Great ambiance and really good light lunch. All in all it cost us $17 for the whole kit and caboodle. Not too bad!

Well hidden, I stumbled upon Sip by accident. I am now a regular morning visitor. The coffee is very good, but I am a huge fan of the baked goods. All made right there, most mornings, they are still warm. The interior is nice, wish they were open on Sundays, but with their location understand why they are not. Definitely worth the trip!
