Sip Café

This coffee shop has a vibe. It’s off of Gallatin Pike in Inglewood, but it feels like a hip joint off of Ventura Boulevard in L.A. I just visited for the first time because I love scones and Sips’ scones received good reviews on Google. I was not disappointed. I ordered a blueberry and a chocolate chip and they were the best I’ve ever had. I ordered carry out but will be back when I can stay longer to enjoy the atmosphere, which could be a location in a Tarantino film.

Had a friend take us here recently and was pleasantly satisfied with how easy going, inviting, and amazing how a coffee and ice cream combo is the guilty Sunday pleasure many of us need sometimes to get through the daily grind haha It has an old world’s charm that’s very homey. Go try one of their many ice cream flavors!

I haven't been here in about 3 years, but my iced white mocha was so simply amazing. I remembered they had a drive thru and went right through! Ordered, paid, and got my drink in under 5 minutes. Maybe 3. Anyways it's delicious and tip your baristas! :)

Sip/Mike’s Ice Cream never disappoints. The staff is always very friendly and patient as my children sample and try flavors while constantly changing what they want. Bambi today was not only patient, but very helpful in our selections of ice cream. The flavors of ice cream are top notch and regularly change to provide variety. You will not be disappointed if you come here for a sweet treat.

1st I wanna shout out Robert!!!!!!! He was Awesomely Amazing. He was very patient and nice. I have always loved this place have been going here for years. I haven't been a while and wasn't sure what to get and without asking if I wanted a sample of the 3 flavors I was stuck on Robert just handed the samples and told me his favorite also. If you haven't visited please do.

Everyone who is a Local Knows to Come here!! I mean what can be better than Ice Cream AND Coffee all In One Visit? They've got the RIGHT Idea!! I love waking up, and coming here. The Coffee is So Robust and Flavorful. I really like to come here and Read my Bible and this is the PERFECT Environment to do so. Non-Judgmental and Friendly! From every aspect. Even with my Kiddo, they were so Nice and Interactive, helping me with my Coffee to the table and being patient with me. Upon arrival there is so much to read about on the bulletin boards. And there was a good amount of parking. Chris, Claudia and Mary are the Dream Team!! They work so diligently and I Admire that! Always making sure the customer is satisfied and answering any/all questions. I never realized how hard it is to make a Cappuccino so Fancy!! lol!! They tried their best and I admire them for trying. I don't think I could do it. I commend them for working so hard and Showing good morale and Team Effort! In the back they also bake and make their own pasties and bake goods... If you're stopping through Nashville, you've GOT to see what's brewing here! The Ice Cream is so Flavorful and Rich- tasting. So refreshing, the Hot and the Cold, put together!! Many Flavors to choose from! There are Bathrooms, and outside seating!

This place is a local gem. I don't have much to add that hasn't already been said in other reviews, but I do want to call out one thing: the honey roasted pistachio ice cream is the best pistachio ice cream I've ever had. Jeni's used to be my favorite, but this is better.

I met a friend here earlier tonight and we both ordered a chai tea latte. We joked that it tasted like a “healthy” chai tea latte! lol Meaning that it wasn’t the creamy chai taste that we were used to, but it was more watery with a mild chai flavor. I probably wouldn’t order it again. We decided to get ice cream a bit later and it was a 10/10, and I like the fact that it is made there daily. So to recap, no to the chai tea latte, but a big yes to the ice cream!

I've been to Sip a few times now. The ice cream is always good. Creamy and sweet without being overly sweet. My favorite is the cherry ice cream but they didn't have it on this visit. I ended up going with the horchata ice cream instead. It was sweet with the perfect amount cinnamon. It's like someone took the best food truck horchata and put it in an ice cream machine. Delicious! I also got a ham and cheese croissant which had a good flavor but was served cold which was off putting. I didn't expect that so I took one bite and waited till I got home to warm it up. I wasn't asked if I wanted it heated so I don't know if that's something they do.

The staff is so careful with my drink. I explain I have celiacs and ask for my drink to be stirred with clean spoon to avoid cross contamination and they never make me feel like a bother. The kindness is so appreciated!

I still enjoy the ice cream here, but man it's kind of a dump. They really need to freshen up the place. Even the trash/straws/napkins area looks like a 1990's church basement. The decor throughout is cluttered, random, and dusty. Maybe drive thru is a better bet? If they just took out all the clutter, cleaned well, and chose one solid decor theme, it'd be a much happier looking place. Service wise, I've had multiple employees who seem super stressed and not friendly while they take our order. I can't give this 5 stars.

Sip has consistently good coffee. Iced coffee, lattes, espresso shots, it's all good. Also - drive thru! Their coconut syrup is INCREDIBLE - try it iin an iced latte and it will be your coffee of the summer! Though 99% of the time we go for coffee, I would be amiss if I didn't mention the delicious locally made ice cream as well.

Love Sip, primarily for the ice cream. Great spot to get a cone or a bowl. Highly recommend!

Pastry and croissants are definitely worth the drive. Too bad you can't order them to be delivered

Honestly , this is one of the cuter / character giving coffee shops in town . The vibe is chill , they have a few different things on their menu such as ice cream , milkshakes , different types of coffee but I will say , THE COFFEE IS MEDIOCRE ASF. I find myself coming here a few times a month being it's the only coffee shop that is open past 6pm on Sundays and every time I get the same result.. no matter how much expresso I have them add to my latte , it's never good . So with that being said , if you want some solid ice cream or maybe even a drip pour coffee Check it out !! But if you want a really good latte try madtown or dose . 2 stars based off the quality of the lattes considering it is a coffee shop.

I LOVE SIP! Everything about it is just fantastic. They have always made my coffee orders perfect, and they offer so many options. I find myself going several times a month. It's also convenient that they have a drive through! My favorite is an iced caramel oat milk latte, but their pumpkin pie just came back and that's worth a try too. They also make all their pastries from scratch! My favorite is the chocolate chip muffin. You can tell they use real butter. I would eat their ice cream every single day, every flavor I have tried is scrumptious. I swear you will not be disappointed. They also give a good amount in each scoop. They also make shakes and malts with any flavor you it! I definitely recommend their chocolate chip cookie dough, nutter butter, and pecan praline! There is a bunch of seating inside and out. Trust me and give sip a try! I do wish they had a punch card or something similar.

The coffee was good, not the best and not the worst. I had the matcha latte and my friend got the iced Americano. We just went through the drive thru so we didn't see the vibes inside, but the drive thru experience was...interesting. Everything was great until we said that we did not want to leave a tip. We got two easy drinks, no special requests, and went through the drive-thru so did not see a reason to tip. The person working the drive thru then slammed the window shut and did not speak to us when we thanked them for taking our order and giving us our drinks. I understand the frustration if they had served us at a table, but it's a drive thru ‍

This place is so cute! I'm from Seattle and have strong opinions about coffee and I would definitely recommend this spot. They also have the best iced dirty chai, and the scones are good! Will definitely have to try their ice cream sometime.

my review is low only because - i don't know what they think matcha is, but it is not what i was looking for. they use some kind of liquid, my guess is a simple syrup matcha type thing? it was way too sweet, tasted like a fruity matcha-ish inspired candy. i couldn't even drink it. i asked for extra matcha when they gave me a tan colored drink, thinking maybe it just needed an extra scoop of green to balance it out but that made it even worse, too too sweet and tasted like artificial flavoring. if you like traditional matcha, do NOT come here for it. it was a waste of $7 and that was a huge bummer. i've heard the ice cream is amazing and won't count them out for coffee drinks in the future but had to spread the message for other matcha lovers.

Came in on Tuesday evening, the service was quick and the staff was friendly. The horchata ice cream was delicious, and for $5 they really fill the cone up. Having their own parking lot and drive thru really helps with the convenience

Fantastic little coffee shop with ice cream options, pastries, bagged beans to go, AND a drive thru ;) I've been a patron here for 10+ years and almost every reg. latte I've ordered has been fantastic. Recently, I've had a couple bitter and grainy lattes though...

The ham and cheese croissants were killer! So good. The coffee on the other hand was okay. I got a horchata, chai milkshake with espresso, but there was no coffee taste. The employees also were not welcoming...I manage a local ice cream shop, and I would be embarrassed if my employees treated customers that way. Cute little shop though!

We just went in for some ice cream so it isnt a full review since it mainly does drinks like hot chocolate etc. The nutter butter was good and the banana pudding wasnt. Plus half the ice cream part was empty yet they had ice cream behind the cash register that you couldn't see and I would have got Tn fudge over banana pudding. What sense does it make to have half the ice cream in the back with half the front empty. At least say there is more over here.

I called in advance to be sure it was wheelchair accessible for a friend. Was told yes. Yelp also notes it's accessible. It's not. Found out too late.

I really shouldn't have moved into the neighborhood where this little cafe of ice cream & coffee heaven exists. My waistline is not going to survive it. Nor will yours if you give them a try, because you will return, especially for their ice cream. I've tried the Salty Honey (my favorite), Loaded Butterscotch, Praline, Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate...something or another, and Nutter Butter (my other favorite). This stuff is for real - homemade Mike's Ice Cream - and it's to die for. It is also not low fat, not low sugar, not low quality, whatever. It's worth every calorie-filled bite. I just have to limit my visits. My sister is obsessed with their hot-fudge sundae and shakes. Neither of us have ordered a coffee drink yet. I don't see it happening anytime soon since we can't tear ourselves away from that ice cream, but I imagine their coffee-making is just as adept. The service is always fantastic. The employees are super chill and happy and incredibly fast. They don't skimp on portions either. What is it about happy people serving you a big ol' cup of dreamy ice cream that is just so very pleasant? Seriously, go through the drive-thru here, get that ice cream, and enjoy a little cup of heaven to sweeten your day. You won't regret it!

I'm just a little biased. Sip is my favorite neighborhood coffee shop. Great place to bump into friends in the morning or meet new neighbors. The coffee is always just right. Best muffins and pastries anywhere (get there early!) The folks working there are always cheerful and pleasant. They have sign on the cash register that says "Be Kind"...and they are. Great advice anytime of day!

The coffee was great, the muffin was AMAZING! The Barista was very patient with me, as I didn't know anything about the array of coffees available. I would love to come earlier in the day to try other pastries they have available!

Love this coffee shop! Great value and great taste! Everyone is so kind and the inside being an old bank is so unique and a very cool touch to the aesthetic.

Very good coffee ice-cream, fast service friendly staff, and their danishes are tasty too, everything you could want from your morning stop (did I mention they have a drive through?)

I should preface this by saying, I've been a customer at Sip for years. Today, I was tasked with getting coffee for work. Admittedly, it was a lot of drinks but I gave them a heads up & also mentioned I would leave a nice tip. I was immediately treated like an inconvenience by the cashier. After I paid and left a $16 tip on a $75 order, I was apologetic about the number of drinks. The cashier rudely said to me, "Yeah, we aren't really the place to handle this many drinks." I'm a band assistant. I go to Sip every time we have rehearsals because they can handle this many drinks. I always try to go in the afternoon when they are less busy, NEVER in the morning do I order this many drinks. I always tip at least a dollar per drink. When they finished making my drinks they called out "150 drinks!!" I honestly can't believe I was being shamed for simply being a customer and supporting my local coffee shop. Trust me, I didn't want to be ordering that many drinks but I was just doing my job and apparently expecting too much for them to do the same in return. I promise never to inconvenience them with my business ever again.

This place bring me back to San Francisco and NYC village growing up, as soon as u open the door the smell of coffee and vanilla is incredible that make my heart smile. A great alternative to the big coffee chains. The coffee is spot on and made to perfection.... wait did I say perfection? that's correct! They also do ice cream and Malta, shakes and this is the only place with my favorite "rum-raisins" which can't be beat needless to say this is the place for me. The service is awesome no pretentious caffeinenistas. Just great coffee and a chill vibe. I'm happy!

We stumbled on this place while running an errand in the area. So glad we did! The chocolate croissant I had was comparable to the ones I had in Paris. SO buttery. And the coffee was delicious too.

Sips (we just call it Mike's because of the ice cream) is phenomenal! Such a cool local place that we keep going back to. I've had the coffee a few times, which is a staple, but we really go for the ice cream. They have amazing flavor choices (highly recommend the peanut butter cup). The staff is ALWAYS friendly, quick with your order, and seem to really enjoy their jobs. We use the drive thru to get ice cream and it's become one of our favorite Nashville spots. There is also some parking and a few outside tables.

Tasty drinks in a funky little shop. Definitely a cool vibe where you can tell an artist had a hand in the design. The staff probably needed a little boost of the caffeine they were serving.

Rather disappointed - Cold brew was not good. Tasted like watered down coffee beans.

oh my goodness!!! this is the best ice cream i've ever had superhero is the beest glavof ive ever tasted!! thank you thank thank you sip sip sip

Very long wait, and when I went to pay the worker asked if I wanted to leave a tip. When I declined, she was kinda rude, Acting offended. awkward.

I have only been once but I will be back. This place has vibe of authenticity and great coffee. The service was fast and friendly and the pastry selections looked inviting!

What will it be? Coffee, no ice cream...no hot chocolate...you decide for me! I love this place and the creative flavors of ice cream are amazing.

Unpretentious & delicious My partner loves their cold brew and I love Mike's ice cream. We always find a reason to pile the dogs in the car and go through the drive-thru. The staff rule, the dogs are showered with affection, and we leave feeling uplifted.

Great little surprise of a cafe! Not only do they have ample parking, a drive thru, and great staff, but their selection on the menu is amazing! And pretty fairly priced! I had a milkshake and I was not disappointed! Definitely a cute place to check out and do some work and have some coffee and ice cream. It is an old bank, so interesting concept, but may not please everyone. Definitely will be back to try out more ice cream and the other items on the menu!!

Great little funky coffee place. Drinks came out quickly and were hot and tasty. Chocolate croissant was the bed one ever!

Cute little neighborhood coffee shop. They have drive through and pick up available during covid. Everything was clean and people were social distancing. Their coffee is super good too! Will definitely revisit

They are VERY Covid conscious - if u want to enter a tip they'll do it on the screen for you.

Sip is our favorite drive-they coffee place in East Nashville. You can't beat it! We come here multiple times a week and the staff and coffee never disappoint! They also treat pups so well with treats and sometimes whip cream cups thank you sip for being amazing!

Great friendly staff and prices were great! This place was super cute on the inside and their scones are delicious!!

Good spot for a quick coffee in the morning. Not many food options, besides muffins. This is almost exclusively for coffee drinks.

I have been to this little Inglewood/East Nashville cafe multiple times for ice cream (which is the BEST to me) but I had never tried their coffee until today. The iced vanilla latte I got was super good, a bit TOO sweet for my liking (and I LOVE sweet coffee) but satisfied my craving. I definitely think it's a good spot for coffee if you aren't anywhere near a Starbucks or another great coffee joint. They have a drive thru as well a sitting area inside. And don't forget to check out their ice cream it's absolutely AMAZING!!!

I went to Sip Cafe for the first time this year to get a coffee, which theirs' is delicious, especially when you factor in their reasonable prices. But, as a high risk individual who doesn't get to see friends and family much, the consistency of seeing some of Sip's employees daily, who are so genuinely kind and engaging, is more than a plus. It's half the reason I go. It's the difference between a place like this and Starbucks. It's the reason I'll budget an extra $5 a day I could be saving at home. Thanks to all of their employees! I know it's not always easy to be kind to everyone while in customers service, especially in such crazy times. Y'all rock.

Every person I have interacted with is always so nice. Everybody's so happy and grateful. Thanks y'all for everything y'all do. Tbone

Decent coffee. I thought it was a tad weak, but the flavor was decent. I wasn't a huge fan because I didn't get friendly vibes from the female cashier. I felt like a bother. That's my only complaint. I like that they offer spoons instead of coffee stirrers to be more "green." The decor is super cute. Oh and they have a drive thru! Win win!

Cool bank turned into coffee and ice cream shop. Good service and good coffee. They Make their own Ice cream in the back.

Ice cream & coffee! These have got to be a lot of people's top favorites! At Sip Cafe it's in one stop! The downside is the parking lot is not as big, but that they lack in parking size they make up in ice cream & coffee! This unique stop have interesting combos of each separate and both blended such as their espresso milkshake!

NO IDEA why they don't advertise this with Mike's ice cream. Same delicious ice cream (definitely the best in Nashville - coming from an ice cream addict who's tried them all!). But with parking and no crowds or long lines! I love this place. It's a cute little shop - I could see myself working here during the day. The staff was super friendly and careful in making each order well. I will be back. Lots of times.

This place is a staple for Inglewood. It smells amazing inside, and the music is always perfect for the happy and peaceful atmosphere. The staff is always friendly and quick. I always look forward to the hot chocolates from around the world in the winter.

The real deal. This place is soooooo good and the authentic, best, ice cream. Andy is the shit, he has great customer service and so welcoming! I will be back 1000% Thanks Sip!

This place is great! I probably come here easily 2 times a week on my lunch break to grab a coffee. The drive thru is always fast and convenient. The staff is always helpful, conversational and friendly. The coffee is great as well, I've tried multiple drinks and all have been equally tasty. This is the kind of local place you want to support. Couldn't recommend this place more!
