Sip Coffee & Beer House

This slow-to-catch-on coffee house and eatery gets its caffeinated drinks from Cartel coffee and its menu from chef Payton Curry, who has created a small list of breakfast and lunch items as well as a daily selection of pastries. Sandwiches include a BLT, chicken salad, and an Italian grinder; a hummus plate and several salads (we like the lentil and kale combo) are good for lunch. Breakfast burritos and frittatas are good early-morning fare also available later in the day and are made with local eggs and homemade bacon. Connected to Curry’s nearby restaurant, Brat Haus, via a back patio area, Sip offers 22 taps, most of them dedicated to different craft beers and finer wine. Read our review.
