I feel like Sip has a lot of potential. I’ve been to the Scottsdale location a few times and each time is a hit or miss. Just to clarify, I’ve only had their iced black tea to drink. I have yet to try any of their coffees or beer. Tea is good, but it’s hard to mess up iced tea. The atmosphere here is nice. They had live music when I came in the other night so my friend and I opted to sit outside where we could talk. Even though it was about 100 degrees out, their misters were awesome and I didn’t even notice the heat. Love the lighting outside and the seating area. My only beef with this place is the food. Each time I come here they are always out of what I want to order. And whatever I do end up ordering is never that spectacular. The parking is also pretty crazy and I usually end up having to park a couple streets down. If they stepped up their food game I would probably frequent this place much more often.

My favorite coffee house in Scottsdale! Live music? Check. Bomb coffee? Check. AMAZINGBEERONTAPAAAAND A BAR? Check. I come here to do work on my computer. Love the ambience and the staff is always super cool. Right now they’re selling mint cold brew and it pretty much changed my life. The happy hour is amazing too, $ 1 off draft wine and beer and $ 6 whiskey mules.

Cute little coffee place. Love the décor! Very laid back atmosphere and down to earth. Great parking. Got a chai tea latte and a breakfast bagel sandwich which were both great. Dog friendly patio a plus! Not a fan of the coffee cake tho.

This is such a great spot in Scottsdale. I love the idea of serving coffee in the morning and beer when it’s five o’clock somewhere. We came in for a light breakfast and were planning on coffee; however, we were feeling a bit dehydrated from the night before and went with the peach iced tea. It was perfect and definitely hit the spot. I also love how they have a huge jug of ice water sitting out to enjoy. That was pretty perfect after I finished my tea. The hubby and I both ordered the breakfast sandwich and shared a blueberry muffin. The muffin was delicious and the sandwich was pretty good as well. My only complaint is that service was a bit slow. It took quite awhile for our sandwiches to get to us, but overall this is a great place. Check it out!

I’ve tried the Kevlar(Bulletproof) coffee at both locations and they don’t make it correctly. The coffee tastes burnt, not enough butter, and it’s not blended enough. This is easily fixable.

Sip Coffee & Beer House is what all coffee houses should or meet up too. It’s a place to study, eat and chill. Meet up with friends for some local brewed coffee or sip on a local craft beer. It’s as good as it gets, interior and exterior is always wonderful I love the aesthetic of the place. Not so hidden, but it kind of is in the beginning of heading towards south scottsdale /old town scottsdale. You pay for what it is because taxes are already included. Haven’t tried any items from the food menu, but drinks are wonderful and the service is pretty great from what I seen, I went on a Sunday and it was pretty packed with people doing work, hanging out and meeting up with friends, so it’s a well known place. Definitley will be coming back!

Their French press(Chemex) is great Pretzels are awesome, although I wished they had cheddar cheese sauce instead of white cheese, but prolly it’s just my preference. Dollar tamales n beer on Wednesdays, plus live show wohoo!

Sip is a quaint little coffee shop right at the tail end of Old Town Scottsdale’s row. Last I ordered, I got an iced chai latte that was quite good, especially on a warm day! Enjoyed«sipping» my tea outside on their patio and enjoyed a nice breeze, while shootin’ the breeze with my gal pal. My only critique is the décor, feels a bit too hodgepodge.

Coffee & Beer? Why didn’t I think of that? These guys serve Cartel coffee(which I love) and they serve something called Kevlar coffee. AKA Bulletproof coffee. It’s super yummy. Check it out! I love the mix of people here. From business people to hipsters and everything in between all enjoying the great vibe here. Indoor and outdoor seating. It’s a sweet spot. I look forward to to trying beer at some point soon!

Our first experience at Sip was eventful to say the least. Hubby and I stopped in for lunch because we had a Groupon. We ordered a sandwich to share and two beers(loved that they had Mother Road Tower Station on tap). We ordered the Italian and went to the patio to soak up some sun and enjoy our beers. I was waiting at the bar for the sandwich when a guy brought it out and said they had made the wrong one but would I want that sandwich as well. Sure! I said. Hubby and I began to eat it when our«Italian» sandwich arrived. After the first bite, it was apparent that it was not the Italian that we had ordered, but the BLT. Oh well, we said to eachother. We didn’t feel the need to complain even though we both couldn’t beleive that they got our order wrong twice. As we were eating, someone finally brought out the Italian we had ordered in the first place. Third times’ a charm I guess! We stopped in for coffee on a bike ride a few weeks after the sandwich debaucle and thought the drinks were pretty standard.

The pros: There’s live music sometimes and the location is great. I like that it has its own parking lot. Parking could get annoying in Scottsdale. The cons: If you’re into wine, red or white. There are only 2 options. The red is a grenache blend. Not sure about the white. The pretzel was bland and somewhat hard. The cheese dip was okay. The prices are comparable to most other restaurants and I’m not sure the quality is comparable. I was excited when this place opened because I thought, great something like Lux in CenPho, a coffee house that serves wine. Lux is def bigger. I guess it is nice sometimes to get away from the crowd and be somewhere not so packed. Def a good place to hang out or meet for a quick«get to know you» date. You know, where you don’t want to invest in dinner but you want to have a glass of wine and your date doesn’t drink.

Thanks to Timothy B.‘s review on Sip Coffee & Beer Hourse(woot, woot — shoutout!), I bookmarked this little spot a while back, hoping that I’d be in the south Scottsdale area and have time to swing by and check it out. Well, yesterday I did just that; and I’m glad I did! I walked in and immediately was like«woah, this place is awesome!» The décor is simple yet sophisticated, it’s very chill(the people and staff), and everyone was incredibly friendly. I only had a little bit of time to spare, so I didn’t go all out and splurge on any pastries or their beer selection(afterall, it was only 11am… on a Monday. haha). I asked the barista what he recommended — and he told me that basically anything is wonderful. One item on the menu caught my eye though — the Kevlar coffee — and I asked what it was. The barista explained that it was coffee with grass-fed butter and oil to get you those good yummy fats your body needs(and probably craves!) He did such a great job at explaining that I was sold! Got the Kevlar coffee in an adorably cute red mug(don’t mind my mug obsession… lol). I sat outside since it was an absolute beautiful day, and the sweet barista brought my coffee outside for me to enjoy. The Kevlar coffee definitely hit the spot, and although the barista said I might think it’s too buttery/greasy, I thought it was smooth and creamy, and absolutely delicious! I really enjoyed stopping by – wish I would’ve had more time to try some of their yummy food items… but that just means I’ll have to stop by again… and soon!

What a great place! Thanks to my fellow Unilocalers for recommending it. I came in here during Happy Hour, which they have every day 4 – 7PM, and was treated to not only excellent specials, but great beer and terrific sandwiches as well. The service is great. I love how they let you sample the beer before you order. There was live music when I came in, which made the atmosphere even more relaxing. This is a welcome addition to Old Town, and I can’t wait to come back. Enjoy!

I visited Sip while in town with my friends. The concept of a coffee shop and a bar is like my ultimate heaven. We came in for coffee and the guy behind the bar noticed our team bride pins we had on and offered us a round of shots! We later found out that he owns the place. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. The overall atmosphere of the place is laid back. The perfect place for a coffee date or a study session. My friend had the espresso martini and it was super strong, which is of course really good! Perfect balance of vodka and espresso. The iced macchiato and cold brew were strong and just what we needed. I wish we had a place like this back in Florida.

Plenty of room here to either enjoy some fresh air outside, hang out on the couches with friends, plug in and work on a device using the free wifi, or have an intimate coffee date with a special someone. Also, there is plenty of parking, accessible from either Scottsdale or Goldwater. Awesome music playing in the background, and this time of year, they have festive decorations and a tree in the corner. Loved the sign to the bathroom«the loo.» Is this a Brit place? I sipped a caramel nonfat latte in a red ceramic cup, which tasted great. Gained some energy for shopping later. Definitely a place to sip something and hang out.

I had to try this shop after hearing numerous friends tell me that I’d be in love with it. I was apprehensive as I am not a huge fan of the fast-paced night vibe of old town scottsdale. Thankfully, they were right! I brought my books and my laptop here to study. Upon entering, it was the perfect noise level. The music was relaxing and enough to drown out the crowd without disturbing your studies. I was amongst those on dates, working lunches, and delving into a good novel. It was as if my coffee house dreams had come true. Their menu consists of craft brews, a few cocktails and wines, coffee of all types, and lunch items. It was very inexpensive compared to most coffee houses that I frequent. The sandwiches looked light but satisfying, although I did not get to try one. Forget the library, this is my new sanctuary!

Cool coffee shop — good espresso machine — nice folks — Cartel Coffee beans — what’s not to love?(Normally a rhetorical question, but, in this case, the parking — if you can’t find a spot there, you can park across the way at the drug store — they pay for overflow parking there). Good place to come in, get some java and relax. Check them out!

This place gets a solid and well-deserved five stars. I will admit: a friend of mine manages the place, but I came across it all on my own long before I knew him and loved it even then. Sip Coffee & Beer House is everything you want in an establishment go its kind: super laid-back, good music set to a manageable volume, great coffee, outstanding craft beer selection, even live music some nights! The staff is consistently wonderful in my experience(kudos Alex and Sip crew!). It’s also open later most nights than other coffee shops in the surrounding area, making it a great place to camp out for a while, even late at night. The ambiance is right up my alley: very quirky and hipster-ish without being over-the-top. The place just kinda feels like home. It also has plenty of outside seating which is PERFECT as the cooler months approach. I’m actually seated happily at the covered patio as I type this. This is one of those FEW places you frequent. I probably have half a dozen decent coffee shops within walking distance of where I live, but I still drive over here because it’s just that good. Set just apart from the craziness of Old Town Scottsdale, it’s a perfect location, too. I can’t say enough good about Sip. If you haven’t been, GO! If you have been, you already know what I’m talking about, don’t you? I’ve been coming here for over a year, and I’ll keep on coming back. For now, I’ve gotta go: the live band is starting back up again. ;)
