Sips Espresso Cafe may be a tiny building, but it has a lot to offer. They have indoor and outdoor seating and free WiFi available. They have plenty of coffee, teas, chai, frosty and smoothies to choose from. They also have cookies, muffins and more.

Quaint, friendly, and tasty..... everything you want a coffee house to be. The coffee was truly hand-crafted and the blueberry muffin was delicious. Estelle is a wonderful and welcoming batista!

My favorite place for coffee in Athens. Love the outdoor seating and the coffee is always so good. They always have the best seasonal drinks on their menu. Baristas are always so kind.

My first time but won’t be my last! We had 2 lavender lattes (1 hot, 1 cold) & a Mexican mocha. All were delicious & well crafted, the server was very helpful in making our selections. Coffees came out quick especially considering how busy they were!

I had an early appointment at Piedmont cardiology this morning. Since I am definitely not a morning person I felt like a cup of good coffee would be a great idea. There’s a little coffee shop right across from the hospital, so I decided to drop in there and give them a try. The young man working the counter was very helpful discussing the menu. I don’t know much about different kinds of coffees so I always have to ask about them before I order. I opted for a medium latte with sugar-free vanilla syrup. I was glad they had the sugar-free vanilla as many coffee shops that I’ve gone to were always out of it. I guess it’s a popular flavor. Sips had quite a few in-house baked sweets. There were so many yummy looking options; it was hard to choose. The young man recommended the zucchini bread; said it was probably the most popular thing they offered. I ended up buying myself a lemon blackberry scone to have with my coffee plus a fat slice of zucchini bread and an apple scone to take home. Sips has a covered patio out front and another patio on the side. They don’t really have indoor seating although the covered patio out front could be enclosed in the winter for a seating area. I sat outside and enjoyed the morning sun with my scone and my coffee. The coffee was delicious and the scone was wonderful. I don’t get out this way all that often, but when I do, I’m going to stop at Sips again. They have good stuff.

Nice little place near the hospital. I'm not a coffee drinker but was needing something for my wife. The young lady who helped me was very helpful with a great attitude. Best part, the coffee was great! Definitely check this place out.

First timer. The woman behind the counter was absolutely lovely. The coffees we got were fantastic. The baked good were also great. Only downside was parking but the friendly staff and quality product made it worth it.

My friend and I got coffee here and it was so yummy. We did not have to wait long and the prices were affordable. The seating outside is so cute and clean.

Hands down, the best Americano I’ve had in my 63 years—and yes, I’m counting. Sips Coffee Shop is a delightful gem in Athens with a charming atmosphere, great location, and a staff that’s as warm as the coffee. Zero complaints, plenty of smiles. Highly recommended.
