    Caramel Coconut Cloud Matcha
    Zachary F.

    Came back to Sip Lab recently and it was just as busy as our last visit. We love that they have the Build Your Brew little kiosks to order from so you can see a picture of every item on the menu with a description. I ordered the caramel coconut cloud matcha again and it was just as good as the last visit. We also grabbed a Strawberries and cream croffle for a little snack as well. A delicious sweet treat. Honestly, Sip Lab is a solid spot for any kind of drink from matchas and coffee to smoothies and energy drinks!

    There is limited seating inside to enjoy your beverages but there is some table and seats outdoor as well. Their very busy in the afternoon,expect groups and full tables. You can order through their app, on kiosk inside the store or at the register with a cashier. Aside from coffee, smoothie, matcha, tea,refeshers and energy drinks they serve different kind of croffles. I tried there chai tea it was good. The mango strawberry banana cloud smoothie is really good( not too sweet and you can taste all 3 flavors:well balanced). Also I tried the matcha since everyone I know that came here before me said it is the best in Greensboro. I got the caramel coconut matcha cloud it is good but not what I expected..a little disappointed there were more coconut flavoring then matcha itself. Maybe it was a busy day and it was made rushed. The matcha is okay not the best Ive tasted.

    This was my first time at Sip Lab, and it was a wonderful and convenient experience! I ordered my drink online and was prompted to download the app to help track my purchase. In glad I did that because any drink was right when the app said it would be. My drink was delicious! It was exactly as I thought it would be, based on the website picture and my own taste profile expectations. The restaurant was clean, I was greeted when I entered, and the staff were polite. I will definitely return to try more drinks!

    The coffee shop is very modern. The music was a bit loud so this isn't a place I would come to concentrate on work. There is limited seating. This doesn't mean I didn't enjoy my visit. The croffles are good. I got the s'mores croffle had a lot of marshmallows. The mocha coffee was delicious. I got it warm and I really enjoyed it. My friend got the cold version and it looked great. I would definitely return. Customer service was also good.

    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.

    Much better time around! Still love my Nutella Crowaffle and this time I got a Horchata iced latta. Yummo!

    At first, I thought this is going to be another trendy coffee shop that closes as quick as it opens, however, this experience really changed my mind quickly. Sip lab uses local coffee and tea from local vendors and has a creative menu. I got the coffee first go round, then had to come back for a refresher. We also tried their "croffles" which were tasty and unique. I got the Biscoff latte and I could taste the coffee, it was just sweet enough, and I thought I was gonna have to go back and get a second one. I then kept looking at the menu and really wanted a refresher, which turned out to be just as amazing. Our server was patient with me trying to make decisions. And made sure we had exactly what we needed. The only critique I have is that the music was loud, and didn't fit the vibe of a Sunday morning. But this is a personal opinion. I'll definitely be back.

    Came here as girlfriends with our kiddos, people in the counter is soooo amazing! Super patient and helpful while we choose our drinks. If you're coming as a big group, the space might be limited but the drinks are totally worth it! We ordered Biscoff Lattes!!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

I ordered the Pistachio Cream one and no lie, it was 6 inches across and 2.5-3 inches tall. They asked if I wanted it heated (umm yes) and it was AHMAZING.i also ordered the fig and honey latte while my husband ordered the Turkish coffee. So good and unique!

If you're in a rush this might not be a place you'd want to stop by on the way to work. But if you have time, it's worth the wait. I gave it 4 stars because the floor was very sticky when I visited.
