I typically get quite a few to last me a few days a though they are not *as good day 2-4. The coffee is always delicious and I love that they rotate flavors seasonally. If they don't have a flavor I like, praline or maple cream are my go tos.

They have an impressive library of games, covering just about anything you could want to play. Whether you're into strategy games, party games, or card games, there's something here for everyone. The staff is incredibly helpful. They don't just sit behind the counter; they actually help you pick out games, walk you through how to play them, and make sure you're comfortable. Their enthusiasm and knowledge really make the experience that much better. The food is great too. They put fun and creative twists on classic cafe dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. The drink selection is surprisingly strong. They offer a good range of non-alcoholic options along with a variety of meads, wines, beers, and mixed drinks. The vibe is exactly what you'd want from a gaming cafe. It's casual, relaxed, and welcoming. People are respectful, helpful, and focused on having a good time. Whether you're there to try something new or play a favorite with friends, it's easy to settle in and enjoy. If you're into card collecting, you'll appreciate the selection of booster packs for popular games. It's a great place to play, trade, and connect with others in the community. This place strikes the perfect balance between fun, comfort, and connection. We'll definitely be back (for the 12th time?)

My sister and I had been wanting to check out Drip N' Sip 757 for quite some time. It's a…read more90s-themed coffee shop, which immediately caught our attention, but since we live across the water, we just never made the time to make the drive. Well, the opportunity finally presented itself when Drip N' Sip 757 was used as the venue for a cake decorating class we signed up for! Since the event was after hours, we weren't sure if we'd actually be able to order anything from the coffee shop, so we were VERY happy to see that the owner was there along with cashiers and baristas, and they were still serving drinks. I ordered a sugar-free raspberry vanilla matcha, frozen, and it was delicious! One thing I really appreciated is that you can get their drinks hot, iced, or frozen, and they have SO many options for customization. They have basically every milk you could ask for: soy, oat, coconut, cow's milk, etc. They even offer both regular and dairy-free whipped cream. There are also tons of different flavors to choose from, plus pastries if you want something to eat. But let's talk about the DECOR because this place understood the assignment. There's a huge mural covering an entire wall by @somitheartist on Instagram, filled with 90s nostalgia. There are references to MTV, All That, and even THAT little "S" we all used to draw by making the lines and connecting them. If you know, you know. Seeing that on the wall immediately took me back. The whole shop has such a fun, nostalgic vibe without feeling overdone. The cake decorating class itself was a great time, but since that was a separate event, I won't get too much into it here. I will say that I really appreciate Drip N' Sip 757 making their space available as an after-hours venue. It's a great way for people to enjoy the shop in a completely different setting. The owner was also incredibly kind and patient with all of us as we stood there trying to figure out what we wanted to order. Everything was clean and tidy, including the bathroom, and I genuinely loved the atmosphere and decor. Overall, I'm really glad we finally made it to Drip N' Sip 757. Between the delicious matcha, all the customization options, the friendly service, and the nostalgia, I really enjoyed everything about the experience. It's definitely quite the drive for me coming from across the bridge, but I'd absolutely come back!

I have been dying to try Drip n Sip, but I live in Virginia Beach, so I had to make it make sense!…read moreWhat better way than to try then out by attending a private cake decorating event! The event was from 5-7 which was after their usual business hours, but all of the drinks and pastries were still available. Mya was one of baristas, and the owner, Melanie, was also present. All very nice staff! Super friendly, personable, and helpful. I tried the Signature Drink called Drip N Sip. It is a white chocolate mocha with caramel, and I decided to get it frozen. I love that all the drinks can be made hot, iced, or frozen. They have every type of milk including coconut, oat, and almond. They also even have nondairy or dairy whipped cream options! Literally something for everyone. My drink came out very fast despite there being about 15 of us, and it was very good! Drip N Sip is decorated in everything 90s! From my favorite 90s tv shows, to music groups, movies, and tv stations, it is super nostalgic! I love all the artwork and the brightness of the place. Overall, we had a 10/10 experience and I would definitely come back. I think it is neat the owner even allowed the private event! Definitely worth checking out.

I was a bit disappointed that they only offer whole or oat milk, as I was used to having more milk options (like low fat or nonfat). I can't drink whole milk and I'm not a big fan of oat milk. The barista recommended that I try the oat milk and said if I didn't like the drink, they would make me something else. I asked for light oak milk and hoped for the best. My latte was served in layers, so I got a big blast of oat milk in my first sip, but after I mixed my latte, it tasted so much better. The coconut flavor really came through and offset the oat milk flavor. I was really happy with my drink and with the super helpful barista. I'll for sure be coming back!

Seating is kind of limited, but luckily we were able to snag a table. I had fun checking out all the different book sections, but the banned book area was definitely the coolest part to me. I thought it was awesome that they give people the chance to explore those books so openly. I only got a cold brew, and it was okay. I wasn't a fan of their ice just cuz the shape just melts quicker and makes your drink watery fast. Aside from that, the service was really great. Everyone was super friendly and happy to help. The location is also really convenient if you're around the VCU Cary st area. Definitely a nice spot to relax for a while.

Upon entering, the books are found along the wall, there are tables and chairs to sit and the coffee is ordered at a counter right in the center of the store. Towards the back, they have a section just for kids and young adults. Also, there are plenty of parking outside. They have new and old books available at decent prices. One of the best things I have ever seen is they have a dedicated turning bookcase for BANNED books of Hanover county. It is a lending library. You choose a book, open it and scan the QR code inside and check off the book you picked. Then, you return it when you're done. No time limit on it. That easy. I am so proud that they are supporting these books and making it easy for anyone to have access to them. On this visit, I borrowed Jodi Picoult's book, Nineteen Minutes. I recommend you come visit and support this coffee/book shop in the VCU area. I definitely recommend it and plan to visit often.
