I would’ve given 5 stars if I’d based this review off of my first experience only. I had great coffee, got to know the owner a bit, and had a wonderful experience. My second visit I took my service dog with me. We had been seated for at least 5 solid minutes when she told me that in the future there’s a designated area for dogs outside. I mentioned that she is a service dog and therefore exempt from pet policies and health codes. At no point was she disruptive and the owner of the cafe acknowledged how well trained she was. She was also very clearly marked as a service dog on her vest so there was no confusion. While I thoroughly enjoyed the coffee I will not go back and am very disappointed.
As a father I am livid with this business. Already not a fan of the higher costs but I’ll support local but no longer here for this reason with my daughter.. basically to sum it up.. she is putting them in as “servers” .. but if the employees are still making less than $12 even with tips there is a legal issue here just waiting to happen.. in time .. any how this is from my daughter:I had an interview to work with this coffee shop. Thoughtit would be wonderful to get the experience in a localbusiness. Interview was fine, but then I asked about thepay.The pay here, for the workers, is below minimum wage,about $6 to $8 an hour (based on your experience level).The owner's idea is that the gap will be made up with tips.Here's the issue: this is not a livable wage. Especially inthis day and age, this is completely unacceptable. We arein the middle of rising costs in housing, gas, and food. Theexpectation is that this would be the only job you'd beworking, too. Full shifts only! How are these workersexpected to live, working this job alone?The tips are supposed to make up the difference. But thatis entirely dependent on people feeling generous for theday. Not only is this unfair to the workers chance atearning a livable wage for the day, this is completelyunfair to the consumer too: it further enforces tippingculture. I am already paying for a $6 coffee, and I will stillbe expected to tip, especially now that I know it is the onlything keeping the employees afloat.This is extremely disappointing - a small town owner,paying her workers below the minimum, even after shehas upgraded to a larger space because she gets morebusiness. Why? I believe her reasoning was that thisexperience will lead to more lucrative job opportunities inother cafe businesses, and/or you would do this job of outof love and not money. There is no excuse for payingpeople below minimum wage.For this reason, I can no longer support this business. It'stoo bad, because their drinks are great.If your business success is contingent on paying yourworkers dirt cheap, you shouldn't be running a business.
This place is amazing! Not just amazing but unique, personal. This place is more than just coffee but you are able to taste a story and it is something you have never tasted before. Liv (the owner) blends her own coffee beans so just in the beans already there is love invested in them. Every coffee recipe that she has she created herself so now there is more love and also a story! If she is there ask her the story of your favorite drink! Mine is the gentleman that has an infusion of oak barrel that I never had before and I could honestly have espresso and that infusion by itself it’s so good! But I truly feel that it blended all the ingredients in that drink so much more it is just so delicious! And I am an ice coffee kind of drinker and all her drinks are iced! How perfect for the hot days! Now I can go on and on about how wonderful this place is from its coffee to the atmosphere and to the amazing food! I am so happy to have a coffee shop like this in my home town! Thank you so much and I really hope everybody recognizes what a gem we now have in this town that we never had before!! ??
I just moved here and this is the third place we've tried out. The owner clearly knows her coffee and loves it! From the basics to the fancy stuff, she makes it great. We haven't tried everything, but her food choices are also consistently very good so far. The mood on the inside is nice and relaxed and unique, I definitely recommend you come here if you want good coffee, friendly faces, and delicious cinnamon rolls!
Olivia is the OG of good drinks and food. These drinks are doing big numbers. Good job Gypsy Sips, y'all doing good ?
A friend recommended this place and I'm so glad I went. I got the Princess Kenya, it was delicious. This is a cute Cafe with a great vibe. Can't wait to go back!
Lovely little coffee shop, very small, but good in hospitable. Free Wi-Fi and lots of ports to charge and connect your devices with. Four stars cuz I thought it was pretty expensive and parking is tight if you have a larger rig.
The owner is so kind and polite, on first visit she’d asked if I’d been there before and made suggestions. The flower power is my favorite. She also let me know that the zorro burrito is made with a veggie chorizo, so was vegetarian friendly. Labeling vegetarian options on the menu so people know ahead of time would be my only suggestion for the owner. I’m glad a found this cafe though, she became my go to coffee shop after the first visit.
Olivia is the owner and also served my son his best ever hot chocolate "steamer" which came with two MASSIVE marshmallows! I had a "gypsy mocha" with house made whipped cream and W❤W!!! Olivia is very selective of the beans she serves and sells.. This place is a must try if you're in need of a caffeine fix or something hot for the kids. Modest but appetizing breakfast and lunch menue. ? New and bigger location opening soon. We will be back!!!
Excellent coffee. Staff are friendly and helpful.
