I'm not sure how this place stays in business. I really want to love it but it's never open, very often little hand written notes are letting customers know that they have different hours now. I like the fact they have vegetarian choices in their menu of food. Not sure if their coffee is organic anymore and they don't use organic milk either. The inside now looks more like a storage room with a coffee bar on the side ... too bad! The family who owns this place lives in the neighborhood and is very nice, but their efforts seem to be focused on the flower shop now (it's been like that for a while). read more

I just had one of the most amazing panini sandwiches of my life at this place! I tried THE DICTATOR, highly recommended, and it didn't disappoint. Just a fabulous and delicious sandwich. Loved it! My wife had a chai latte and said it was excellent. Love having a local place like this and I look forward to returning soon to try out more of their menu. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. read more

Went here for late breakfast, place is bit hidden it's behind the flower shop, flower shop lady was sweet, she let us through the shop. My kid wanted to have croissant with turkey breakfast and we wanted croissant with coffee, but they were out of croissant , so girl behind the counter suggested she can do it on flat bread, I was bit skeptical as my son usually likes only croissant but he liked it very much and on our way back home he told, when we go there next time I want to have exact same, was surprised. My husband tried everything bagel with avocado, he felt it was ok, we both ordered cappuccino which we absolutely loved it. Place is nice clean cute super cozy, service is 10star. Definitely will be back, and highly recommend this place. read more

The food and smoothies are made fresh, for a great price. It's a locally owned business, and the owner is really nice. I'm really glad to see they got it Up and running regularly and I can change my review! Cons: This place is going to be horrible for my waistline! read more

++ excellent sandwiches (highly recommend the La Condesa) + unique drinks and foods + quiet little hole in the wall + great customer service last time i was here was pre-pandemic. glad to see they are up and running again. dont miss this place! support local small businesses that create quality products! read more

Great local coffee shop! I love the convenience in our neighborhoods. The guy running the place he always been the same guy and he is always friendly and helpful. They have all your normal coffee shop basics from drip, latte, espresso. They also have a lot of other nice options. The tea selection is really varied I would say probably 20+ options. They also have Bluebell ice cream and shaved ice for the kiddos on a hot summer day. The space inside is nice. Small and simple. A couch area and then a few high top table options. I think a good hideout for those days you want to work from home vs. fighting the Austin traffic hordes! Takes credit card and the prices are very comparable. I like the coffee and like supporting small local businesses. Check it out! Quick tip: it is hard to see but jump out the car and walk around the front building as they are likely open. read more

The brownie mocha was a treat. They have a nice sandwich collection to make it where you do not have to choose between lunch and coffee.

Amazing little place, hidden in behind some buildings. Sandwiches loaded with meat and the smoothies were amazing! They also have shaved ice and coffee and looked like ice cream too but didn't try that this time, but will be back!! read more

You ever have one of those places that you don't want anyone to know about because it's special to you. That's sips for me. I love going there. There's about 4 tables inside and about 5 sitting areas outside. I love to sit v grab a latte and work. It's off the beaten path. Their food is amazing. I've had their omelet and tn their breakfast sandwich called. The it's sa cheese, egg, and olive delight. I have had their pumpkin pie latte hot and cold. It's so delicious. I love love this place. read more

I went here for a cup of coffee with my mom. Given it's location, I was shocked at how pleasant the atmosphere of the cafe was. The coffee was decent, and the lady working was delightful. The only reason I gave this 4 stars compared to 5 is because I only give 5 stars to places that "wow" me. This was a great spot for an everyday coffee, but not a place that astonished me. read more

Not sure if they are planning to close down or something. We stopped by for breakfast and the dining area had some piled up wood in the corner. A chair at the table was broken. Our food was not great and the coffee had a burnt taste. No high chairs or bathroom changing tables- so I guess they don't want kids/families to come. Kind of a bummer because we would love a little neighborhood place. read more

Great place! They roast their own beans here, so the coffee's fresh and delicious, and the proprietors are friendly and helpful. Sips has become my go-to spot since arriving in Brushy Creek this summer. read more

Perfect little place to grab a latte, cappuccino, smoothie or bite to eat. We ordered the smoothies, they were fresh, delicious, and made right in front of us. There's a wonderful little Lounge area to wait in, to read a book, or relax and have a nice chat with friends. The location is located behind the shell station next to the floral shop. read more

Yelp led us to Sips since it's a little bit off the beaten path. They make a mean/tasty frozen/blended thingy...she gave me one thumb up...the other thumb was busy keeping her drink out of my hot little hands. I thoroughly enjoyed a vanilla cappuccino of the large variety and while I waited for it to be made...I made a piece of baked goodness reverently named coffee cake...vanish into a reasonable facsimile of not-so-thin air......my belly! If you need a coffee drink or tea and a snack between Round Rock and Cedar Park....give this place a try, you'll thank me later. The guy that made our drinks was very friendly and seems to enjoy what he does. read more

BEST ICED MOCHA!! First time here for a quick afternoon pick me up and they have the best mocha I've had in a very long time. This is a gem hidden in a residential area with coffee, tons of loose leaf tea and Hawaiian Ice as well as tasty sandwiches. Worth checking out! 5 stars! read more

Sips - Caramel machiaatto..... - Shaved Ice Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I discovered Sips on Yelp and decided to stop by. Though I initially almost missed it as it is tucked away behind businesses and a gas station, I am so glad I found it. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is incredibly friendly and cozy. There is a large range of seating possibilities making this the perfect place to come and study or the perfect place to meet up with friends. They also have a great variety on the menu (coffee, tea, smoothies, milkshakes, snow cones, pastries, crepes, etc.). They are even open for extended hours! By far, this is a "must-experience" place. This is my new hidden gem. You have to check it out! read more

This place is tucked away behind a gas station but worth the hunt. I go running regularly at brushy creek and for some reason smoothie places aren't anywhere to be found around the trail. Once I saw this place made smoothies and was just around the corner, I gave it a try and was very pleased! I've been back twice and brought my running partner with me - and was glad to have her agree that these smoothies are great! I've ordered the berry smoothie and a strawberry smoothie (sometimes the strawberry is available, other times its already pre-mixed with banana for the strawberry-banana smoothie). My running buddy ordered a butternut squash and mango and we both left happy and healthy. They use fresh fruit (I watched!) and good quality juices to make your smoothie. Grab a seat at one of their outdoor tables and relax while sipping your delicious smoothie- or sit inside and look at the cute artwork and tea leaves around the shop! read more

Actually decided to test my taste waters here and tried decaf espresso and coffee. Supposed to be getting off caffeine but that makes me want it even more. This place has a website boasting their decaf and it's Vietnamese technique so it seemed like the place to lick it up. I went for a coffee latte and single shog. Not exactly the same, but still 6/7ths satisfying. Compared to coffee. Creamy and earthy, just not acidic enough for my taste. The five stars is for the fact this is probably the best decaf you'll get, and the actual place was well spaced and the baristas had books of knowledge in their head that you could taste in all their drinks. read more

Great local coffee establishment with dozens of loose leaf tea for sampling, sniffing, and admiring. This place is tucked away in the back of the building but I believe it's worth a trip! The food and snacks there are generous and it's generally pretty quiet. Great place to hideaway for an hour to get some work done. Plus it's behind a flower shop, which I love. read more

Tucked away in a neighborhood next to a gas station, it is a bit of a find. Great quaint unpretentious local mom and pop vibe. Met a friend for coffee and had a delightful experience. Good amount of people that day but still found cozy with no unbearable noise. Got the Americano and was typically what you expect for that. Tried the Reuben sandwich and would definitely get again. I appreciate the details they put in it with a toasted pressed bread, a smoky mayo based sauce and quality pastrami. read more

This is my second time to Sips and my second time to be disappointed. Today I ordered a vanilla iced coffee with cream and sugar, sent my coworker and they came back with my coffee and it was straight iced coffee. Nothing added. The outside of the cup says "vanilla". Luckily we have cream and sugar here, so I added it myself. It wouldn't have been a big deal if I didn't have another issue with them. We came to Sips a few weeks ago and ordered a hot chocolate for a coworker who can't drink coffee. We got it back, and even though it was written as hot chocolate on the cup, it was obviously straight black coffee. We tried it and confirmed it was coffee and not hot chocolate. Bummer. I don't want to lower the stars more than 4, because the coffee is good and the employees are friendly, but I don't think we will order coffee from Sips again. read more

Need a quiet place to get some work or studying done in Round Rock? Look no farther. Quiet music, good coffee, comfortable seating and excellent wifi (124 Mbps up and 24.9 Mbps down as measure on Speedtest). First time here but I had my usual which is brewed coffee with 2 shots (a Blackeye at Starbucks) and cream; the coffee was hot and the tast is good, smooth with good flavor. Actual coffee cups here, not poaper. Really nice staff who seem to like working here. This will be my new go-to coffee polace even though it's a bit out of the way. To give you a general idea, it's about 10 minutes from Ikea or 12 minutes from downtown Round Rock. I'll happily drive that distance for a peaceful, friendly place to work. read more

Sips, aesthetically, is phenomenal. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is "off the beaten path", but in my opinion this only adds to the unique and calming environment it succeeds in creating. Calming music, mellow decor, and quaint spaces at Sips pair well with the homemade drinks, sandwiches, and more. My only issue, which I don't think is worth getting remotely upset over, is that hours can be a tad unreliable, and I'd say I'm actually at Sips around a quarter or a sixth of the times I try to go here. This is not to critique having early or 'unusual' hours, moreover that they should be reflected on the business' website, Yelp, or front door--at or past 3, they typically haven't been open. Although the sandwiches are delicious, homemade, and prepared from fresh Boar's Head deli ingredients, they can sometimes be a bit overwhelming to actually eat. I've noticed the bread that holds the sandwiches together can often behave more like croutons in a chopped salad than something to hold the sandwich together--Sips' sandwiches are often hard to enjoy, or even eat, without a fork and a hefty load of napkins. My dirty chai latte was and has been phenomenal the times I have been here, definitely the best I've had from a variety of coffee shops. Definitely spring for the extra dollar in making it 'dirty'. Overall, definitely pay Sips a visit, and I can only hope they keep doing what they're doing! read more

Cozy, Rustic, Homely, Welcoming and absolutely hidden gem when it comes to round rock - there is a flower shop in the front and coffee shop in the back - however, this place is quiet - had a entire day work from here and sip some nice mocha and ate " gardener: eggplant, avocado, olives, garlic, parsley, greens, tomatoes, feta cheese, vinaigrette on flat. read more

Great locally owned coffee shop! I decided to try out Sips today for my morning coffee and I loved it. Sips is located in the same lot as the Shell Station on Great Oaks Drive. It's a bit hidden but don't miss out. The place is really homely as you can see through the other pictures. It's really well decorated and feels as if you're inside someone's home with all the furniture and chairs. Really quiet environment and a great place just to relax, read, or study. The coffee is also organic and fair trade. I tried out the vanilla late today. It was smooth and delicious. The prices are around the same as Starbucks but it's always good to support a local business! read more

The only thing I could think of to describe their chai tea is that it tastes like a holiday. It's different from the one at Starbucks because the gingerbread/cinnamon taste is much stronger. It definitely tastes like something you would drink by a fire on Christmas. We were really surprised by the turkey and cheese croissant. There was layers of seasoned turkey meat in it and a generous amount of melted cheese. It was a fulfilling lunch for us for a super affordable price. The only thing I would change is that the rice chicha drink doesn't have a lot of cinnamon or spices in it compared to the chai tea. I almost wanted to pour some of my chai tea into it lol read more

Great coffee, super fast internet (att fiber), good food and friendly service = 5 stars. Hard to find but worth the search.

Love this coffeeshop -- cozy, great variety in drinks, and very friendly service. Would come back!

So happy to have this coffee shop in the neighborhood! Cozy atmosphere, good coffee... perfect for a relaxing morning. They just re-opened on Sundays; so now they are open seven days a week! They have a small area outside with two tables... next time I think I'll bring my dogs. I'd recommend this place over Starbucks any day... support local businesses! read more
