Sip Coffee & Beer Garage

Four stars for location and ambience, 1 star for their prices. $ 5.50 for a latte with honey is absurd. Not when there are so many other coffee shops in the neighborhood. I wanted to like this place but not at that price.

Love coming here for my morning coffee. The drinks are always tasty & the barista’s are so friendly. I love the openness here, especially, when they open all the doors. The music selection is always on point too. I usually come here just for their almond milk lattes, but I’ve had their bagel and some other pastries before, which were okay. Also, I love that they have all local beers! I’ve been meaning to come back later in the day to sample some of those beers.

Stopped by for the first time this week and I really liked the place (the look of it). I was a little disappointed with the pulled pork sliders. If you look through the photo gallery you can find them and imagine how delicious they must be. When I got mine, the sliders looked bleh. It was bun, pulled pork, bbq sauce, 1 slice of pickle, and bun. Nothing compared to the picture on Unilocal,if fact it was missing the coleslaw. I ate it anyway and didn’t say anything because I hadn’t realized the mistake until having eaten 1 ½ sliders .
The staff (the one employee who took my order and asked about my day) was nice so I like that about the place and I will be back to try other coffee items but I don’t think I’ll be trying any of the food.

Cute and sad
The first time I went there the latte was really bitter, burnt tasting, but it’s such an adorable place.
I went back last week as I was close by and it’s so cute and cool (I love the building and the quirkiness).
Well, I am sad to say, this time the latte was bitter and had a burnt taste.
I’m so sorry to say cannot go back. Quite a shame because I know they can make it work, before they lose too many customers.
Btw: my friend had iced tea and said it was fine.

Great place to study! Beer and coffee and great music

Super cute little spot! So glad this is just down the street from me. I think the feel of the place is fantastic. Great vibes. Love the live music for sure. My iced almond milk Americano was delicious with some Splenda. My date loved his French press coffee too. I definitely want to come back here again soon! Wish parking was easier and better though. Maybe next time I’ll just ride my bike.

I heard this place opened, And I wanted to try it out. Of course I take my family here for breakfast. Counter order and then sit down. I like the vibe. Love the whole atmosphere and how this place is set up. And what? Bar? Super cute.
We sat outside. Beautiful day to sit out and enjoy a good breakfast. I ordered the egg whites with avocado on a bagel. It was so good, especially with the hot sauce. I asked the guy about it, he said the hot sauce was homemade. *TWO THUMBS UP*
I ordered a hot chai tea latte… I seriously think it tastes like Starbucks chai tea latte. Lolz. Maybe that’s why I like it so much. Haha.
I’ll be back for the hot sauce. Haha.

With so many great coffee places in Phoenix, each coffee joint increasingly must have an angle in order to stand or for the rest, and I personally like Sip’s.
Came here during brunch hours on Saturday. With gorgeous weather, the converted garage had a wonderful breeze flowing through the venue so it felt as if we were sitting outside without being outside, and with a live artist singing and strumming acoustic it was hard not to enjoy a perfect weekend afternoon. Boasting $ 5 drink specials during brunch hours, including Bloody Mary’s and selected beers, the craft beer menu includes a number of IPA’s and light fruity ales to enjoy, and their coffee menu has reliable coffee you can count on (average strength with nice flavor, I specifically ordered an iced Macchiato with soy). I didn’t get a chance to try the food menu, but will come here if I need a place to hang out with friends. I felt comfortable working on my laptop but wouldn’t recommend coming here during a weekend to work solo if that’s what you’re seeking, during busy hours the parking gets filled pretty quickly.

Stopped in mid afternoon for a quick snack. veggie pita with hummus, cappuccino, and a grilled cheese for Picky Child. Food came out quickly. Veggies in pita were delicious, a little more hummus inside would have made it perfect.
Picky Child ate the whole grilled cheese. so, I guess it was good.
Place is a fun place! Cool drive thru. nice & open. Roll up doors. nice breeze.lots of people working on their laptops. Def will stop by on an evening & check it out.

This is a nice place but I like the Scottsdale location a little bit better. Parking can be really tough here. You might be better off going through their drive thru window.
The service was good and my small drip coffee was piping hot and priced fairly.
The décor isn’t quite as eclectic as their other location but overall it was a good experience.

This second location for Sip is an awesome addition to this cool section of Indian School. With Pig’s Meow, the Attic, Little Woody around here, there is a plethora of awesome hangout options with great craft beer and cocktails/​wines as well.
The best part about this spot though is that they have a drive-​thru for coffees and morning treats. I’ve enjoyed several options off their menu, and have found the service in the morning fast, friendly and of course the make great coffee!
Met a girlfriend here for happy hour on Friday, I love how this used to be a garage/​oil change joint so the roll-​up garage doors and intact and offer awesome light and air to the joint. The décor is cozy with antique pieces thrown in, very much like the Pig’s Meow new expansion. Great craft beer options along with some cool cocktails. I’ll be back soon!

I instantly fell in love with Sip because of their wide open space, amazing patio, and fabulous décor. It makes you feel so warm and cozy inside! I came here for a quick bite and coffee with a girlfriend and we got exactly what we came for! :) My breakfast wasn’t anything over-​the-​top special but lets be honest, they’re known for their coffee and beverages! The coffee was delish and it really was just what the doctor ordered for us on this sunny Sunday morning. We sat and talked on their patio for a few hours. I saw a delicious looking bloody mary fly by and will most definitely be back to try one of those! I would also love to come back and work from here soon!

It’s a little chilly today at 37 degrees (ok ok it was a gorgeous morning so far & doesn’t really feel that cold-​yay for AZ) but a nicely warmed cup of Chemex coffee does warm the soul!
Now let me repeat how sweet the staff was: she actually WARMED my coffee cup!!! Wow!!! Nice surprise! Now that’s taking the extra mile in service!
She was also very warm in her greeting & checking on me to see how I liked everything! It’s the little things that make me happy!
First time trying Chemex brewed coffee: very smooth, strong & flavorful. Bagel sandwich hit the spot (there seemed to be a hint of lemony flavor to it which made it taste more flavorful than dull boring bagel egg sandwich).

This cute spot is just around the corner from my place so I’m glad I stopped in to finally try it out. It’s trendy, modern, and has great coffee.
We stopped in on a beautiful morning to try it out so they had the garage doors opened up to let in the sunlight. It was cozy and welcoming. They have a general dining area and tucked back in the corner they have some couches and lounge chairs to hang out in for a more relaxed feel. There’s also a back patio and front patio for outdoor dining when the weather permits.
The staff is a bunch of young males so ladies, head on in there for some coffee, beer, and beard gazing. They were friendly and quick, my coffee was ready within minutes!
I ordered a sugar-​free vanilla latte that came complete with a pretty design in the foam. Check out my pics to take a peek! They also have hazelnut as a sugar-​free flavor in addition to several regular flavors. Zach got the cold brew coffee with caramel and it was super yummy. I love a good cold brew and they do it right. Then I ordered their breakfast sandwich with sausage and Zach got their Homestyle Breakfast (name check?) which included eggs, potatoes, and toast. We both devoured our food. The breakfast sandwich comes on a plain bagel which is great because the flavors come from the contents of the sandwich. The eggs was left just a little runny which is how I like it! It’s exactly what you’d hope for in terms of a standard breakfast sandwich.
Their beer list had a great variety and the other food looked appetizing. Also, a few people were working on their computers so I’m assuming they have free wi-​fi. It seems like a nice relaxing spot to do some work. I will have to head back to try out the rest!

A few of my friends and I, after having a relatively underwhelming experience at their Scottsdale location, decided to try and give the Indian school locale a shot. We arrived on a Saturday night, around nine, so that a few of us could have a beer and the others a coffee. We saw a decent looking crowd inside, but as we approached we discovered a sign that notified us that Sip was closed for a private party. We came back a few weeks later, and watched as the owner sat at the bar, hanging out and taking loudly like a frat boy, and found his demeanor to be fairly annoying. At first we thought he was just an loud customer, but only later realized he and his wife are in fact the owners. I can’t say that the coffee was anything special, but I can say that I won’t be returning, because the odds are either that the place will be closed when they should be open to the public or you’ll be sitting around listening to the owner as if he’s in his own living room.

They don’t seem to fully have their gas dialed in and I tried 3 different beers and they were near flat. I saw one guy at another table and his beer looked carbonated but his friends was flat and I asked him and he confirmed. The bartender was nice enough but told me (in his own words) its because it’s micro brew and Im used to «Coors Light». I tend to steer clear of the large and light shitty beers. This is the 2^nd newish bar Ive been to and the beer tap operation hasn’t been sorted out. So I think its a new bar thing, I’m sure in a few months they’ll figure it out. Please don’t scapegoat the customer by assuming everyone but you drinks microbrew. This wasn’t cask ale they were serving up, this was ales, lagers I tried.
atmosphere is nice and staff are friendly. I don’t think the guy was trying to insult me but its rude to be like, our beer isn’t flat you’re just used to shitty beer.

Fun place with a great atmosphere. Great happy your apps for $ 5 and nice selection of beer. I was happy to find they even have cider on tap! On Wednesday nights this place is taken over by a yoga class so be sure to get your order in early and move as far back as possible to make room for the yogis!

This location is brand new… so we gotta wait a little longer to get the kinks out. The concept is fun and cool and we did have a good time hanging at the bar while there was live music.
The bartender was this cute rugby player so he and I hit it off immediately. He was awesome! The bar itself is laid back and nothing super fancy. The kitchen is behind the bar and it just kinda smelled like eggs the whole time… which kinda sucked but then they opened more of the doors and it was great.
I was about to give this place 3 stars and didn’t want to — so gave it 4. The reason being is that when we walked in, there were 4 people behind the bar and the food checkout area and we had to wait about 10 minutes to get a drink and it wasn’t busy. The only reason I think that happened is maybe a couple of the kids weren’t allowed to serve alcohol? No idea, but it started to put a bad taste in my mouth about the bar until I met my rugby bud.
I would for sure come back again and hang and maybe even try the food and coffee. I like that there is a cool drive through with awesome graffiti art and their patio is really cute. Like I said, the concept is cool, but ebing new they just gotta work through the bits of kinks they have — don’t let you stop this from getting a drink though!

I went here on a Friday for a drink with some friends and was pleasantly surprised by the place. It was busy and full of people enjoying themselves. I love the concept of the specializing in both beer and coffee, the best of both worlds. I wasn’t in the mood for either of those on the night that I went, but I did appreciate their beer selection and was happy with the Joel Gott Sauv Blanc instead.
I didn’t expect the live music that was performing, but I did enjoy it. Although a bit loud, considering the acoustics of this place (think: gutted auto repair shop with metal and wood tables) I can still appreciate some live acoustic covers. Make sure to dress semi-​warmly if you go at night during this time of year, since it is pretty much completely open.
Bonus: I think we were the only people that realized that there are 2 parking spots right in front of Sip (the lot in the back was full).

Sip hit the spot. I have heard of Sip but just happened to stumble upon this location over the weekend. I was drawn in by the open lay out and that every window/​door was open that gorgeous AZ day. Parking is in the back and as you pull around you can see that this use to be a carwash and that the drive through to this place takes you right through the old carwash area. I think that is pretty cool. We walked through the back patio area and decided to sit up at the bar top. We had the sweetest waitress. She suggested a beer for my husband and I got a black coffee with cream and sugar. The Beer was on Nitro. Nice and smooth. The coffee was perfectly smooth with a touch of sweetness and cream. She kept our glasses full and also manned the bar and coffee station very well.
The bar area is right next to the coffee set-​up. So you get to watch the barista’s craft their beverages, cocktails, and craft brews. Because of the garage like doors you get to feel the breeze roll through. Or you can go sit on one of their cozy couches, or maybe the cute, modern tables and chairs all around to catch up with a friend or even your emails. They have a wide selection of coffee’s. You have your Americano’s to your French Press. Nice little selection of beers. Pretty small selection of hard alcohol but every thing you need is there.
I really hope to keep seeing these pop up around the Valley. I very much enjoyed this atmosphere and beverages. Next time I’m coming for brunch and the 5 dollar Mimosa’s and Bloody Mary’s.

Sip on Indian School has everything I look for in a coffee/​food joint… and more! I need places to plug in my laptop, get some work done in a creative environment and have a good mocha with my breakfast. I love the food at the Scottsdale location so am pleased this new location lives up to that standard. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy! It’s sausage based I think, just the right amount of spice and pepper. It comes with your choice of eggs any way you like them. So good I tend to wake up in the morning thinking about their biscuits and gravy. Dang… I want them now!
Sip is literally in a garage. An old Jiffy Lube. It’s so nice to have the doors open on a nice day. After a few visits you will wonder why all Jiffy Lubes are not turned into a Sip Coffee and Beer Garage. Took my wife on Sunday and we enjoyed the live music.
Sip has something for everyone. I’ve been there and have noticed hipsters to my right at the bar. A mom and her 4 year old across from me. To my left students working on their laptops. And next to them two elderly ladies stopping by for a good breakfast.
Beer drinkers will also love the choices. There’s a board on the wall with a list of beers and some look quite interesting. I wonder what Big Sky Moose Drool is? I’m not a beer guy so I cannot review that aspect of Sip. What I can review is the excellent concept of Sip and their tasteful interior décor, pleasant staff, and tasty biscuits and gravy with side of eggs and choice of bacon or sausage.
I’d love to write another four paragraphs about the house burger as well! So good! I’ll post a pic and let you decide for yourself.

Such a cool place to hang out on a Saturday afternoon with a coffee or beer and listen to some live, acoustic music! I love that the patio is dog friendly too… bonus!

Food is average. Great place to hang out though. Coffee is the best in the hood. I have to admit the 4^th star is more in potential. I want it to succeed in our hood. We need more cool places like this.

We’ve been waiting for this spot to open, as any independent coffee drive thru is important to this mama!
I ordered my standard hazelnut latte, by which I measure all new coffee shops. It was decent, with a little more milk than I’m used to.
I’ll obviously give this place a second try.

Spacey, not too noisy, mostly hard tables and chairs, but there’s also some more comfy seating. They have a drive through and dog friendly patio, so those are both wins. Nice, open, natural lighting. You can get sun or shade in the morning. A full pot of French press is a good deal. $ 3 is a bit pricey for a bagel and cream cheese, but they offer service, so it’s slightly upscale. Not yet too trendy to be nauseating. I’ll have to check this place out in the evening.

Built by white millennials for white millennials. If you’re in some other demo, they will make your visit unpleasant enough to ensure you don’t return. That was my experience, this Sunday morning at 10:45AM. I sat at the bar for 10 minutes and was ignored while the Brunette behind the bar cheerfully poured drinks for the pretty millennials while trying desperately to ignore my presence.

…best Chai I’ve ever had and I’m having dreams about this yummy pastry called a «Man Bar» …Bacon, Chocolate Chips, Bourbon… concoction.

Sip was like a first date… I had high expectations and when I got to the spot, I thought the concept and ambiance was cool! I could totally hang out here! We ordered our food: two vanilla lattes (one with almond milk), double stacked pancakes and the chorizo burrito. The employees were friendly and they tell us they’ve been open for two weeks. We sit down and I started looking out the window, picturing myself sitting at the patio (on a nice day) with my vanilla latte and chorizo burrito loving the idea (at this point, I did not receive our coffee or food yet).
So after ten minutes or so, we get our coffee and food. The vanilla latte seemed a little bland so we asked for a little more vanilla. The chorizo burrito was good, but it was the spiciest burrito I’ve ever eaten and trust me, I like spicy food. Even the hubs said it was really spicy and he loves spicier food than me. It was so hot, that I could only take two bites. My mouth was on fire and I was moving on to the pancakes. The problem was that my mouth was numb from the spice, that I couldn’t even taste the pancakes or the syrup so I can’t even tell you if I liked it. We leave… and I was at a lost for words because I have no idea if I like Sip or not.
Should I give Sip a second date? I noticed they have happy hour and live music on certain days so I’m keeping an open mind to come back to see if there could be something more than a cool concept and ambiance for me.
Who knows? Maybe I’ll fall in love with Sip some day…

I’m seated comfortably on a long couch in the corner of a converted garage space. The room is spacious and well-​lit. There is the music of a live duo (guitar & vocals), the clinking of silverware on plates, the expected sounds of a coffee bar. Wooden tables and orange chairs ordain the floor space while unique signage and artwork color the walls.
This is Sip’s second location, and it does a wonderful job of maintaining their aesthetic without feeling like a carbon copy. There’s plenty of room for larger groups and plenty of comfy furniture if you’re here to relax on your own, too.
Expect delicious coffee options, regular live music events, a diverse-​yet-​unassuming menu of tasty food options and outstanding service from a team of staff that obviously takes great pride in their work.
The wall behind the bar is decorated by an impressive line of probably a dozen different craft beers on draft and wooden shelves set with neatly organized bottles of all your favorite spirits. There’s also plenty of good seating at the bar.
If you haven’t been to this new Sip location, I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s the perfect addition to the area and well worth the drive even if you’re not an immediate neighbor. Sunday mornings are relatively quiet and typically feature live music.
Well done, Sip Team, for pulling off another easy favorite. And thank you, Brian, for the deliciously-​crafted Chemex coffee — I couldn’t have been happier hogging that whole brew for myself! ;)

Like everyone else in Arcadia, I have been waiting for this joint to open too. When the OT location first opened, a girlfriend and I accidently got drunk on the patio during one of it’s first weekends open and the owner and one of the workers stayed late with us and threw a few back. I knew I was going to like this place.
Great atmosphere. I’m a sucker for an adaptive resuse story and the way they turned this old Jiffy Lube into a coffee shop and bar is outstanding. Still very new and working out the kinks but that’s to be expected.
SUPPORT LOCAL!

I’ve been to Sip twice and both experiences have been great. My first time was through the drive-​thru to pick up a latte on my way to work, and the second was to have lunch with my husband. So far I’ve tried the vanilla latte with almond milk, an Americano, Caesar salad and the veggie pita.
Pros:
— They offer almond milk
— My Caesar salad had a delicious anchovy dressing with homemade croutons (pretty impressive for a coffee shop)
— The veggie pita was delicious and full of flavor
— They had great live music on Sunday
— Dog friendly patio
— Friendly service
— Modern and comfortable space
Cons:
I can’t think of any except for maybe the slightly hipster vibe similar to Lux, it might be a turnoff for people (lots of MacBooks), but it personally doesn’t bother me at all.
