    Croffles
    Tom R.

    Excellent new coffee and treats addition to Greensboro. Fun atmosphere, an insane amount of drink variety and a chill vibe. So many options for drinks it can make your head spin. Coffee, tea, matcha, smoothies, refreshers, you name it. And to add to it, you can build your own from many different bases and additions. The options are endless. I went with a green smoothie and my wife chose a brown sugar coffee, light on the sweetness. They were delicious. The only constructive criticism I'd give is the sweetness level. My wife asked for light sweetness but it was still heavy on the sugar. No option for sweetness level for my green smoothie, also a bit too sweet for a refreshing "green" option. Nonetheless, both we very tasty. And if you have a super sweet tooth, this is your place. Now on to the 5 star croffles. Croffles you say?? Yes, yes I do. What a fun and unique item! Best way to describe it...a shout out to DJCuisine who nailed it perfectly in one of his recent videos: it's a perfect mix of a hot and fresh waffle and a fair funnel cake. I mean this thing had flavor bomb written all over it: gooey goodness oozing all around, crunchy and crisp edges, hot and soft interior. Every bite had all of this going on in a perfect way. We will be coming back for these unique croffles over and over. Go try them, and enjoy a great variety of drinks with it.

    First time here. I ordered a s'mores latte and it was good. Giving them 3 stars because there was very little coffee in my cup which was at least 75% ice, maybe a quarter cup of coffee. Value for money is a 2, flavor of beverage is a 4.

    A new venture from the owners of The Ice Cream Factory, Sip Lab is a lot, in many senses of the word. Positives first: the menu offers tons of options. There are lattes, mochas, cold brews, shaken espressos, matchas, chais, energy drinks, and smoothies (as well as croffles for those craving a sweet treat). Locally sourced ingredients - beans from Vignette and teas from Vida Pour - add to the appeal. Sip Lab also offers multiple ways to order, from standing in line to using an in-store kiosk to ordering ahead on a dedicated app. Speaking of ordering, the baristas here are friendly and will gladly customize a drink to match your preferences (including sweetness level). Despite the high volume of customers (more on that later), they turn around orders quickly. My wife and I went with a sea salt maple cloud cold brew and a banana cloud latte, respectively, and we were both very satisfied. The coffees were smooth, and the creamy cloud toppings added an extra touch we didn't know we were missing. Banana syrups can be hit or miss, and Sip Lab's version lands squarely in the "hit" column. So what's not to like? Perhaps because it is new, Sip Lab seems to keep very busy. You probably won't be able to score a table, and you might have to maneuver around people while waiting for your drink. While some might really appreciate the energetic vibe here, the appeal is limited for those who turn to coffee shops as reading/study/meeting spaces. Finally, the foam toppers aren't the only things in the clouds at Sip Lab. At $8 or so for a medium drink (and $5 or so for a small), prices are not for the faint of wallet. For better or for worse, Sip Lab is far from your usual coffee shop. If you want a unique drink made to your liking, don't mind the cost, and are taking it to go, Sip Lab has much to offer. Those looking to sit and sip, however, may want to look elsewhere.

    This was a very posh, modern coffee shop. The staff was very welcoming upon entering. You can order online, at the kiosk or at the counter with the staff. I chose a brown butter shaken espresso and the maple glazed croffle. The coffee was really good, I may try it 'Strong' next time (you can choose between Balanced, Sweet or Strong) as this was a little lackluster for me and the price point is a slightly higher than most coffee shops in the area. I probably would not go for the croffle again. While a unique item, it was warm and crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, the price point is also a little on the higher side for what you get. I'll return m to try some of their Classic cafe coffee choices.

    Went to the grand opening on Friday. The place was pretty full and there was a line. I wasn't mad about it because I understand that they're brand new and people want to try out the new spot in town. There were a couple of baristas working in the back and they seemed to be working pretty fast. The man up front taking orders was super nice and said thank you for being patient. I ordered the brown butter shaken espresso. I was asked if i would like it sweeter or moderate. I picked moderate. When asked if i wanted to get a specific milk I was told it would be free of charge. It did take a little bit of time for me to get my drink since there were others ahead of me but I was in no rush. Overall I would say my coffee was alright. Nothing that really blew my mind. I tasted my friends Horchata Matcha, which is something I will definitely be getting when I go back. Other than that I will be going back to try out their smoothies as well! Nice place with a cute little vibe going on inside.

    SIP Lab is a newer spot under the same ownership as Ice Cream Factory, and I was excited to try it since Ice Cream Factory already has great desserts and treats. SIP Lab offers coffee, matcha, energy drinks, smoothies, and croffles in a modern, clean space with both indoor and outdoor seating. I went on their second day open and it was already very busy, so it's definitely getting a lot of attention. Hours of operation are: Monday-Friday: 6 AM - 10 PM Saturday-Sunday: 8 AM - 10 PM Parking is the biggest downside--it fills up quickly, so plan ahead. Ordering is easy with kiosks for customization or staff at the front, and screens that show your order status, which keeps things organized even when it's crowded. The service is really good--staff is friendly, attentive, and everything moves smoothly even when it's busy. The drinks come in cute cups and are well made. The croffles are delicious but a bit small for the price. I also love that it's a local shop--I really enjoy supporting local businesses like this. Overall, it's a great stop, especially if you're heading to work--you can grab coffee early since they open at 6 AM on weekdays. I'd definitely come back for the vibe, service, and drinks.

    I had the pleasure of trying Sip Lab on its opening day. This fantastic beverage laboratory offers craft drafts with a creative flair. Each drink is intentionally created and refined with the consumer experience in mind. Offering coffee, matcha, smoothies, and specialty drinks made to perfection. If you are hungry, they offer a wide range of croffles (croissant-waffle). I asked the barista, Josh, for their recommendation on a food and drink item. At their suggestion, I got an iced horchata cloud latte (they use 1883 Maison Routin syrup) and a caramel cinnamon crunch croffle. The drink came out quickly, and the flavor profile was phenomenal. The croffle was exceptional, the exterior slightly crunchy and the interior light and fluffy, with notes of maple syrup. The perfect vessel for holding the caramel sauce and Cinnamon Crunch topping, as it doesn't get soggy if not eaten immediately.

    I recently stopped in to try Sip Lab and it was great! They have kiosks that you can order at so we ordered there. We were able to take our time and really look at the menu. They have a a good variety of options including coffees, smoothies, matcha, energy drinks, and refreshers. I went with the brown sugar matcha and it was so delicious! I loved the combination of the brown sugar with the matcha. I also got the caramel cinnamon crunch croffle. I loved the light and airyness of the croffle and the crispy exterior. The toppings added a nice extra caramel and crunch to it as well. Our drinks came out pretty quick and the staff were friendly. My only negative is that the prices did seem a little high, specifically for the croffle. I do think I'll be back regardless because the quality was good.

    Soft opening with samples!

    OPENING APRIL 13, 2026!!! This place is the companion business to The Ice Cream Factory, located in the same parking lot. It's a very chill atmosphere. Workers are very helpful. They carry energy drinks, smoothies, matchas, teas, lattes, mochas, shaken espressos, & cold brews. Everything is served over ice. Right now they have one food option -CROFFLE! Delicious blend of a croissant + Waffle. They come in 6 flavors for now. Come visit Johnny and take a cool sip!! You won't be disappointed!

    Update, I tried again and tried a cold coffee and it was delicious! Cold drink was filled then the brim! I ordered through the app which helped make it be completed in a timely manner ! I'm glad I didn't write this place off! The aesthetics of the drink were so good too! This will probably because a staple in my routine because it's near my gym as well! Love a new coffee place in Greensboro!

    If you're looking for a refreshing drink... here's your place to customize! I tried the Iced Horchata Cloud Latte and the Watermelon Cucumber Mint refresher. They give you the option of sweetness level... which I did "Balanced" and would say they air on the side of pretty sweet. The refresher hit the spot perfectly for a hot day! The croffle is basically like an airy croissant with toppings... the smores one was sweeter than I could handle, but if that's what you're looking for it's delicious. I'd get the plain cinnamon sugar croffle next time. Staff are incredibly friendly and the owner was very kind. Happy to support this team and love that they sourced locally with Vignette Coffee and Vida Pour Tea.

    The sip lab is definitely the place to go! The smoothies are very delicious! My husband and I will definitely go again! The employees are super friendly and sweet! One young lady answered all our questions as first timers. The ambiance is very nice. It was extremely loud in the day we went but that was due to a group of college students being loud inside. Once they went outside it was more relaxing and enjoy.

    Holy Crowaffle!!! I am honestly grateful I live 30 minutes from this place because my waistline wouldn't recover otherwise. The Nutella Crowaffle was perfect. It was lightly crispy and soft in the middle. It was flavorful and delicious: Soooo freaking good! Loved it. The blue drink was ok, I will be trying another drink the next go round.

I remember the vibes were pretty welcoming. I have gone once since then but during the day and the vibes were pretty chill and low-key but nothing too crazy. Just a typical experience but also a really good college outing memory. The matcha I had from there wasn't particularly my favorite but they used to keep their espresso machine up at night during the performance, I'm not completely sure if I remember correctly if they sold liquor or alcohol but the drink that I did have from there the first time I went was pretty good. The ambiance is pretty normal for greensboro, I feel like almost every establishment you walk in, there will be cracked floors but I just remember the staff was pretty awesome and as far as pastries, they had a pretty good variety and gluten free options and other food sensitivity options. I believe a few years ago, I recall an episode of "Catfish" where Nev and Max also visited this place so that was pretty interesting to experience that but honestly a pretty decent place.

But today was the day! As soon as you show up, you know this isn't your typical coffee shop. The outside of the place looks like it could be an Inn in the neighborhood (which who knows maybe it was at one point.) The vibe inside gives off quiet workspace/library, and definitely gives off the lobby of an Inn (think Gilmore Girls.) There was some people scattered around but I didn't take a deep look inside since I was just passing by. I ordered my ice vanilla latte. The first thing I remember realizing was that it wasn't very sweet. Which is not a bad thing, sometimes they can be made really sweet other times they can be not so sweet. This latte was in the middle. I could taste the creaminess from the oat milk too. I would definitely check this place out again and try out some of their other drinks that they offer. I would even like to stay in and work inside and see more of the environment inside.

The various 1st floor…read morerooms have cozy seating scattered throughout, and it seems like it would be a fantastic place to work or study. Though most seats were filled when I visited, it was super quiet, like a library. I felt a little uncomfortable having a conversation, afraid of bothering others. I'm not sure if it's always that quiet or not. Street parking is somewhat limited, but there is a church with a parking lot just across the street. That said, I visited on Easter, so the church lot was full, but we were still able to find a spot to parallel park at the end of the street. They serve a decent variety of coffee and other drinks, but have a limited food/pastry menu. I got an iced lavender vanilla latte with oat milk, which is something I order at a lot of places. Sometimes, the lavender tastes so artificial it reminds me of eating soap -- I think certain brands of syrup taste better than others. That was not the case here. I don't know what brand they use, but it must be one of the better ones, because it tasted mild and delicious. Both lavender and vanilla came through. The espresso was smooth and not bitter. The ratios of everything were great as well -- not too much oat milk but not too little -- the perfect latte.

While 80 isn't all that hot for the South, it's gonna be hotter inside, especially with all the equipment giving off heat. And it was. Turn the AC on! Along with letting in the heat and road dust from the busy street only a few feet away, warmer weather also brings bugs. A place with lots of sweet stuff is gonna attract flies, bees, and wasps. And no AC is a shitty way to treat your employees. The next thing I noticed walking in was the excessively loud music. I had to raise my voice just to place my order! Again, not great for your employees to be assaulted by noise while trying to work and help customers. There were a few customers ahead of me but I still think 15 minutes is too long for a drink with 3 ingredients. There were 3 people working there. It was also not competitive in price with other places in Greensboro. There are a lot of other boba places to choose from. I will pick another one next time.
