Sip and Ship is celebrating its 19th birthday this week!

Come celebrate by taking a coffee break on us this Friday, October 15th. The Ballard Sip and Ship(our flagship store) will be proudly serving FREE 12oz lattes from 10-4. Each cup brimming with velvety appreciation for what was dreamed up 19 years ago and what has become Seattle's go-to spot to get errands done quickly, pick up last minute birthday gifts and experience the friendliest and most reliable mail and package shipping service in town.

As much as we were hoping to reopen the Greenwood Sip and Ship coffee shop by now, it's not in the cards just yet. However, through our sweet partnership with Seattle Chocolates, instead of free lattes, their signature truffles will be shared with our valued Greenwood community there (while they last!).

Swing on in so the Sip and Ship team can extend a small token of appreciation and personally thank you for all of your support over the years.
