I went on Saturday, May 16, at 10:45am and the two young ladies serving at the time were really great. Both greeted me and were friendly. I chose the honey vanilla latte. I enjoyed it and tasted both flavors so make sure you like honey if this is what you choose. I think I would stick with my regular French vanilla next time. I also tried the cheese danish, warmed up and I enjoyed it. The seating options were varied and there were plenty of them. I liked the bar style seating along the window so you have privacy and a view. They also had tables which were good for couples or groups. I'd definitely return if I were in the area. read more

This review is just based on the tasty iced French vanilla latte with oat milk I got. I needed an afternoon pick-me-up Sunday and this was the perfect choice. When I went there was no line. There is a lot of seating and while I didn't go when it was too busy, there were quite a few people there. The barista who helped me was very kind. We found a table to sit at while we waited for my drink. It's very casual and unassuming. There is something almost retro about the space. We ended up doing our Duolingo at the cafe before I took my coffee to go on a walk at Promontory Point. The coffee was super yummy. read more

I always love coming by sip and savor! Everyone is always so nice and welcoming. They have great coffee. I wish they had horchatas , but I also recently got into dirty chais- they make it well. Decent tables if you want to get work done. It's not too loud. I love living down the street. read more

Love this location! I was greeted warmly during my visit, chai latte was fabulous, and nice place to support locally. They have plenty of places to sit, chill vibes, and a nice Black owned business in the area. read more

Sip & Savor - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I usually enjoy Sip & Savor. But this Sunday morning, I was hungry for an egg sandwich. I arrived at Sip & Savor at 8:20 am only to find out there were no egg sandwiches on hand! I wanted protein, not a sweet! Please, Sip & Savor - adjust your inventory! Plan ahead. How can you not have egg sandwiches on hand?! read more

Greater by the wo default mikila? Wonderful! Offered a great recommendation on tea.! Bummer they shut down earlier than what's on media. She was excellent! Great lil spot, nice and quaint read more

Quickly greeted and asked how the barista could help me. It took a minute to review their menu, but I landed on the small honey vanilla oat milk latte. It came out truly hot/warm. Not sure that I loved the mix and would probably just get either honey or vanilla next time. I did appreciate that the menu included how many shots of espresso went into each drink. You can really tell that the spot has a community vibe. While waiting, one can pursue the community board. People gather there to gather and catch up. Their mission alone would be a 5/5. read more

Excellent coffee. Although I usually go to the Hyde Park location, every one is consistent. The German chocolate mocha is my favorite. I haven't had a drink like it anywhere. read more

Props to the super pleasant, hard-working person behind the counter who hurried through a simple bagel order with such finesse that it made me want to skip an appointment near here. I need to come back with my laptop or a book to hang out and get the full Sip & Savor experience, where I noticed a low key chill vibe that others seemed to be enjoying. read more

I've been to this Sip & Savor in Hyde Park a couple times, and I've always enjoyed it. This most recent time, I tried the Mocha Bama and the Egg and Cheese Croissant Sandwich. No issues with service. read more

We were in Chicago and getting ready to return home so we wanted a light bite at a non-National chain. We visited Sip and Savor a local shop in South Side. Friendly staff and the coffee smelled good. We ordered breakfast which was brought out to our table. We got a blueberry scone and 2 egg and cheese sandwiches which were yummy. We got an iced black coffee, iced vanilla honey latte, and a honey lavender latte and they were quite nice. Not too noisy which was nice. I would come here again for sure. read more

Really great coffee and food! Every time I come in, the vibe is elevated and a big part of that is thanks to Anthony! There's a difference between someone doing their job and someone caring about the experience you have, and he's the latter, every time. It's rare to find someone who always brings that kind of energy into a space. Whether it's remembering small things, cleaning up the space, or just greeting guests like they matter, the Sip and Savor brand is felt. Love what you all represent. Just wanted to say that out loud! read more

I generally like sip and savor and this location was good. The coffee is definitely pricey at 4.00 for a small but much higher quality than a comparably priced drink at Starbucks. The person working at the counter was helpful and quick. In terms of ambiance, it was more a place to get a coffee and go but it seemed like people were hanging out and working quietly so not bad. read more

I've liked other sip and savor locations but here I ordered a Carmel latte and a toasted bagel with cream cheese for takeout and was given a black coffee and an untoasted bagel with butter. read more

I stopped by recently to meetup with a friend I havent seen in awhile. I've heard so much about Sip & Savor as its a prominent, black owned establishment with multiple locations so I definitely had to support, even though I'm not that big of a coffee guy. I went with the Honey Latte which was delicious. They have a very nice menu for your coffee & tea pleasure. They even have pastries and other goodies. The vibe of course is very chill with good, subtle music playing in the background. If you live in HP or are nearby and want to have a quick meet with someone for old times sake or even a date or want to pop open the laptop, this is a good spot to check in to. read more

I ran into a former student (Crystal). The service is excellent. The place was spotless. We enjoyed the atmosphere so much. Can't wait to return to Chicago so we can go back. read more

I'm writing to report a slight downgrade on this otherwise good establishment. I'll go with 2 1/2 stars instead of the 3 I originally gave. Anyone can have an 'off day' and I want to believe that's what happened here. I came in last week 12/3 and requested my usual decaf or half decaf, per my doctor's orders, and the new or (or temp, I hope) barista said they do NOT HAVE DECAF, or not the drip decaf. I said I have received it here before, but she replied they only have decaf espresso (Note to coffee lovers: as much as I can't stand decaf, stay away from cafes that only offer decaf as an upcharge of espresso or Americano. Drip coffee Decaf is not rocket science!!!) So I went ahead and ordered regular, as I did not have time to stop at my beloved Starbucks, which is just 3.5 blocks away from the Hyde Park location. The overall experience was not pleasant, but I only come once a week as they are a 15 minute walk. I wrote an email complaining the same day with no response. I'm a fossil and so I used email to keep it 'entre nous'. read more

I've been here several times. It's a great place to sit and do work. When I first arrived there was jazz music playing in the background, when I was leaving there was upbeat hip hop. I got my usual-carrot muffin and chai tea latte. It was tasty per usual. The employees there are always nice and friendly. As a sidenote I preferred the jazz music to the hip hop. Only because I would get distracted by the lyrics and wanna dance instead of being focused on work. read more

Sip & Savor - Carrot muffin and Chai Tea Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've have gotten a couple coffees and lattes from here. I expect when paying over $6 for a beverage that it's gonna be pretty good for me to feel like it's good value for money. I'd say their latte quality is about the same as Starbucks, in that it is flavorless. Their drip coffee is ok and has some flavor, but again just feels like a little too expensive for what you actually get. read more

Great atmosphere!! If you're looking for a nice quaint place to hang out, grab a drink, and just relax ... come here!! On certain nights they have entertainment, vendors, and specials. I'm here on a Wednesday for "Wine & Dine" with half off drinks for a limited time. The music is on point!! Great vibes. There's a food vendor and a cannabis vendor here for the guest. This is my 1st visit but I can't wait to become a regular. This will be my new midday stop. Ok, you can stop reading here & make your way there!! Trez (Owner) was there working hands on. He's nice, personable, and welcoming. Thank you for providing such a space for us to parlay. read more

I do not know what they put in this chai tea latte, but I've had my fair share of chai tea latte's and let me tell you, this is by far the best one in Chicago. I walk in, the wait is short, baristas are very friendly and welcoming, they get my pastries and drinks fast (I ordered about 15 for an event), and best of all, the checkout experience is very easy -- they offer emailed receipts and tap to pay. People come here to study, to chat with friends, and enjoy their drinks/pastries. The seating looked comfortable. It's about a small to medium sized shop. Thanks for the great service, drinks, and assortment of pastries! Will come back again! read more

Sip & Savor - Chai tea latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Every visit has been a (good) vibe. It strikes me as a very community-centred shop, but also welcoming to those that just happen to be in the area. Employees are friendly and quick, and the seating is welcoming for whatever you want to do, whether it be work or visit with friends. Every Wednesday at this particular location is "Wine Down Wednesdays", where they offer wine and beer for around $5/glass (and other liquors, depending on availability), and free catered food. A DJ is in the background, so this probably isn't the best time to study, but if you're looking to mingle or be in a vibrant environment, this is it. They also serve coffee during this time, so I'd alcohol isn't your thing, no fear. read more

A group of 10 neighbors, all seniors, met at Sip & Savor yesterday and anticipated the normal coffee house experience. What we received was closer to restaurant hospitality. Instead of forming a line at the counter, one of the baristas kindly offered to come to our tables. She took our coffee, tea, latte, and pastries orders, fulfilled them accurately, and delivered them to us. We had such a wonderful experience that we're going back next month! Thanks, Sip & Savor! read more

wish they were a little more concerned with customer service... the girls are all really sweet, but very distracted talking to each other and don't fully prepare your order. I ordered a brownie and she just put it on the counter... no fork, no plate, no knife to cut the tight plastic off, didn't even put it in a paper bag if I wanted it to-go. I asked her for a fork and she looked at me with shock as I interrupted the conversation she was having about the other girl's personal life. Instead of asking her for the other items I needed one by one, I just let her get back to gossipping and opened the brownie with my car keys and ate it on a napkin. The manager doesn't tell them to get to work, she was standing there and chatting with them. Another customer came back after going all the way to his car because he didn't want foam. When he came back, they didn't apologize for the mistake but after he left I heard one of the workers say "he did ask for no foam." So they're aware that they're not doing things right but they're distracted because they're all best friends. I don't see myself coming here again because stuff like that just frustrates me. but 3 stars because the workers are really sweet (including the manager) and I like the vibe, the drinks & the pastries are not that bad. read more

My little sister text our sister group chat this morning telling me how she went to this place after her morning walk. I always look to and love to support black owned businesses and Sip and Savor did not disappoint. Great music, atmosphere, window and table seating and just chill vibe. I ordered a hot chocolate and had a cheese danish and they hit the spot coming in from the Chicago wind. Definitely recommend! The hot chocolate took a little bit to get ready, however it was worth the wait. read more

I was in Chicago visiting a friend, and when I got to her place after arriving from the airport, she had a fresh latte from Sip & Savor waiting for me. I was so impressed by the latte that when she asked where I wanted to try coffee from the next morning, I just wanted to get Sip & Savor again. The staff was lovely, the interior was clean and well kept, and the drinks were delicious!!! read more

Bad coffee. Came in afternoon, ordered the house brew. Lukewarm at best. it must have been leftover from the morning.

Casual coffee shop with a very friendly staff. I've had a few drinks and espressos. Each time the drinks were overly sweet or the espresso not pulled properly. I still like Sip & Savor because of the chill vibe, solid coffee and kind service. The pastries are sourced from a local bakery and are pretty good. Overall a nice option to get some work done. Some have complained about poor WiFi. I've never had an issue. read more

OMG I'm a self proclaimed coffee snob. You will not be disappointed if you try their coffee.

I just began my Sip and Savor experience and would like to share what I have already noticed. This place is the bomb diggity for real. Very nice baristas greeted me when I came in gave me great suggestions cause I can never make up my mind The muffin was warmed for me and came together with the coffee it's the little things! I will be here working with the view of the park right in front of me. Perfect place and they sell food so I can probably stay here all day and eat lunch! Being a nomad worker it truly are the little things that are time savers and beautiful experiences. Definitely come on by and check out this place! read more

The food is amazing. The service is exceptional. My son and I wanted to try it because it's new to the South Loop area. We couldn't decide on what we wanted, so the lady taking our order was very nice and patient with us. And she helped us to chose something that we enjoyed. read more

First time at Sip & Savor and I was thoroughly impressed! They have a large menu with lots of custom drinks and baked goods/sandwiches. Dre was outstanding!
