Sip and Ship was working hard to become apart of the community. Steve and I wanted a place to call home even when we were at work. It was important for us to create a place where anyone who walked through our doors would feel welcome.
​

A place where we could put our customer service to the test - - whatever dilemma or life altering event brought you in, we’d work hard to fix or figure out a solution. A place where a stranger can enter and leave as a friend.

Here we are 18 years later, celebrating what began as an idea and a dream. With your faith and trust in us, Sip and Ship has grown into a neighborhood stronghold - providing you with a hot cup of coffee and freshly baked chocolate-chip cookie; consulting on how to best ship a fragile or time-sensitive item coupled with simple gestures of kindness. Our hard working Sip and Ship team strives to provide unparalleled service to you on every occasion.

Thursday, October 15th, come celebrate 18 years with us and enjoy a FREE 12 ounce latte! We can’t thank you enough for your steadfast support over the years and hope to continue to serve you and your family for years to come!

On your next visit snap a pic and post it on your social media channel and tag us: FB Sip and Ship | IG sipshipshop - we look forward to staying connected in all ways! ​
