Sip & Sit with ME

Cutest little gem. Was warmly welcomed as soon as I went in, service was amazing, coffee is delicious and prices are great! My new favorite coffee shop

Ok, if you love coffee and enjoy a pleasant, homey place to relax over a cuppa, you have to come here. The espresso is excellent - I had my standard cappuccino which is my personal fave and use as my initial test of coffee quality at a new place. Theirs has that smooth balance between the coffee's natural bitterness and sweetness of the milk when its steamed just right. Plus, the owners are very sweet and fun, and make your visit bright with their kind nature. You feel so welcomed and want to just hang out at this very aptly named shop.

Sip & Sit with ME... and that's exactly what I was able to do on my first visit Tue 19 Dec 23. I was able to sit and chat with the owner Marta for a tiny bit towards the end of her day. She's a story teller and she loves to hear your story too! Sip & Sit is brand new coffee shop across from San Jose Mission, on the corner of Mission Rd & Rosevelt. They are in the middle of a soft opening with limited menu for the past few weeks to get their groove on. They are offering Hot and Cold coffee and latte now, with Hot Chocolate to follow up soon on the menu. Pastries in the future too. Yum! Cozy relaxed set up to enjoy your coffee and conversation... just what Marta imagined. Last week I saw a post in a Facebook group, San Antonio Restaurants. There was a picture of my first home... 3244 Mission Rd... with a review for this coffee shop. It's a two story white stucco mission style home originally built as a duplex, it's hard to miss this historic treasure. My mom owned this house at least in late 50's before she married by dad in 1960. I lived here 1963-68. Mom sold the house after dad died and we left town. I remember the house with lots of roses bushes out front that bloomed for my April birthday with a large green yard. The covered patio that is still in the backyard was built by my dad 1966/67. Of course the house is so much smaller seeing it in adult eyes. Lol. How did all our furniture fit in there. Lol. Sun 17 Dec would have been my mom's 102 birthday. I would have visited on Sunday in her honor, but Tuesday seemed to be the best day for me to get across town to make my first visit. I'll definitely will be back!

Atmosphere is very friendly. Coffee is tasty and staff makes you feel like family. A great neighborhood coffeehouse in the World Heritage footprint.

Great little shop with ample parking. Had coffee with a splash of milk. The coffee had a rich robust smooth flavor. The owner was pleasant and polite. She went out of her way to make sure the coffee was fresh and how I liked it. The shop is cozy and comfortable. Spent 30 minutes sipping my coffee and reading my book. Enjoying the tranquility and warmth of the place.

First time visiting Sip & Sit with me and I'm very glad I did. The owner and her mother were very warm and welcoming. They have a great selection of flavors to choose from. My lavender vanilla latte was an absolute delight! I definitely recommend this spot to be added to anyone's must try coffee list:)

Saw a posting for this establishment on FB and was excited to have a new local coffee spot in the area, so I stopped in between customer visits.The owner is very nice and welcoming and you can tell immediately she has great pride in her establishment. Always a great thing!Interior is very unique and there's some really cool details throughout: well-stocked coffee bar, snacks, decor, water, etc.Had the regular drip coffee and it's very good; a blend of 2-beans procured locally and ground in-house. The seating compliments the space and is functional, but I wouldn't call it comfortable. Additionally, not having Wi-Fi available for guests was surprising because coffee houses and Wi-Fi normally go hand-in-hand. Because of this my visit was short and I had my coffee on the way to a location where I could access Wi-Fi. Perhaps the focus is to have conversation and not ride the clock being on Wi-Fi, but in my opinion Wi-Fi is a necessity....even Folklore has Wi-Fi and they have only 3-seats in their facility.I'll definitely stop in again, especially because compared to the other nearby coffeehouse, I like the coffee a lot more at this location.

From the moment I walked in I was greeted with a cheerful, welcoming smile. The owner Marta introduced herself as she was giving me a bit of detail about the place. While she was making my latte, she started telling me about her vision of the shop and said she really just wanted a place for people to come and visit, feel at home, and maybe even make a new friend. She's steered away from having things such as WiFi for that exact reason which I think is so refreshing in a world where everyone lives on their phones. The point of the place is all in the name and she's succeeded!! She served me an extremely affordable coffee. I asked her why it was so cheap compared to everyone else and didn't lack on the flavor if not exceeded that of the big box stores ... she said she wanted everyone to be able to afford a good cup of coffee. From the few minutes I had with her, the genuineness of her and her heart showed. The place is so cute and I knew I found my new home. I had been so busy that it took me a couple weeks to go back... when I did, Marta greeted me again but this time said "Hey Taryn!!" I was floored she remembered my name. People and places like this don't come around everyday and I hope everyone makes it a point if in the neighborhood to stop in, say hello, and make a friend. You'll enjoy every moment. Promise.

I don't know if you want to call it a mere coincidence or divine intervention/blessing, but 2 days ago I reached out to my sister from San Antonio asking her the name of this amazing coffee shop we spent the afternoon at, when I visited her last year and BOOM as I was cleaning up tonight I found the business card. We went in for a quick cafecito and ended up spending a couple hours chatting it up with Marta. She had such a beautiful light about her, the space felt homey and inviting and coffee was great! Unprompted, I promised her I would write a genuine review about my experience but with the hustle and bustle of life and travel back home (NYC) it slipped my mind. A year later, I still think about this place! I can't wait to go back, support and have my cup filled in more ways than one. I'm so glad people recognize the love she has put behind this gem of a coffee shop and hope it continues to thrive. Until my next trip to SA... I'll be seeing you "Sip and Sit with me"!

WONDERFUL coffee house near the Missions. You won't find a tastier latte than one made by proprietor, Marta!
