Sip Coffee is a futuristic coffee shop near FIT in Midtown. I’ve been there once for their pour over coffee brewed by their robotic barista, which really knocked my socks off.
This time, I came back for their new coffee menu: Tiramisu Donut Latte and Matcha Cream Foam Iced Coffee. I am a sucker for tiramisu drinks, and this one was the best one I’ve had. Perfect flavor and sweetness level.
I also appreciated how precise the making process was. Our barista weighted every ingredient and struck for perfection. The friendly service is something robots could never replace.
*Tiramisu Donut Latte $9.50* Basically a latte topped with cream foam and cocoa powder. It was lightly sweetened, with a strong espresso flavor and a deep cocoa aftertaste. The cream cheese foam was rich and airy. I was also surprised it was served hot, making it even more enjoyable for winter.
*Matcha Cream Foam Iced Coffee $6.99 It was a light and not-too-sweet drink as the base was simply black coffee. The matcha foam was too grassy for my liking. I’d stick with their coffee drinks as every coffee I had here was phenomenal (I liked their seasonal coconut coffee).
*Cinnamon Croissant $3.99** *Butter Croissant $3.99 They offer a small selection of pastries, donuts and cakes to pair with your coffee. From the golden hue, you can tell the freshness of their pastries. The croissants were flaky and I enjoyed the...

The experience will vary greatly depending on the barista on shift.
long: I was on my way back home from the local park and noticed a brand new coffee shop across FIT. I walked in, and I noticed the robot arm on the counter. I was greeted by Steven, the shift manager, his level of customer service is exceptional. Steven truly serves up a vip experience for every customer. I had the coconut refresher, which was very good. I then ordered the vanilla guava pastry, which seems to be a very light and airy, whipped puree full of flavor. It's very tasty, very yummy. The interior design is beautiful, I love all the metal and lights. The relief room has a cosplay vault door. They also have a 3d printer from which they make little adorable things like: coffee cups; dinosaurs; and octupi. I'm definitely going back. It's a great place: solo; with friends; a first date; with family; etc. Recommend to check out: the robot pour-over; coconut donut; and $2 drip coffee...
Read moreCheck out Sip Coffee if you want to try some coffee made from robots! I loved how sleek, modern, and futuristic this cafe was. The coffee was really good, especially the Ethiopian blossom one, which was one out of the four options where the robot solely and entirely makes the coffee. The Ethiopian blossom was one of the most popular flavors with a fruity touch to it, the coffee was also really silky and smooth. Overall, all the coffee here was really silky and smooth tasting. The refresher was also really good, I liked the passion fruit one. They also serve pastries such as donuts, cake, croissants, and cookies here too! I liked their cheesecake. The prices at this cafe are also pretty good, the pastries cost $4-$7, while coffee and drinks are around $7-9. The prices weren’t too high. This cafe is also right next door to FIT, so FIT students can come here to study and enjoy some yummy coffee and pastries. The customer service was also really good, the barista was really nice, polite, and informative.
