Tried an Açaí Bowl here and was a bit disappointed with the size and price(definitely seem like prices have gone up recently) , however, looks can be deceiving as there was a good amount of Açaí and toppings - also topped with Banana and Blueberries only, the flavor was fine, nothing special.Since it's conveniently located, I think I'll be back if craving a bowl or to try some of the other items, but definitely not a contender for best Açaí Bowl on the island.

Drip coffee ok. Yucky apple turn over. Soggy. If it was at my house I would have thrown it out.

I ordered a macnut latte and it was decent but much too heavy on the syrup. Couldn't taste much of the coffee, but the underlying espresso taste was enough to tell me it would have been good without as much syrup. Also not enough milk or ice, the cup was filled much below the line. Cozy corner location in a courtyard with shops and tables. Aesthetic inside. Priced very well honestly, not too expensive. Fast service. Just way too sweet.

I worked at Sip for years during college and loved their vegan options and my time there, shoutout to my wonderful former coworkers! Unfortunately they transitioned away from being a plant-based cafe, I see it's listed on HappyCow as a Vegan spot! It's for sure a cute spot for a coffee/acai bowl if youre in the area but the menu has completely transitioned! Also if you came for my home-made oat bars/oat balls mahalo but I'm sorry they dont make them anymore!

Great avacado toast, decent coffee (I am hoping to try the ube latte but it has not been available for several weeks- I believe the owner makes it). It does have a chill vibe and the staff is friendly.

This place does have good coffee but they never open on time and the workers move like turtles ?
Have tried the coffee a couple of times both iced and hot and it is very thin ;(

I don't usually go to Restaurant Row unless I need to drop something off for work at the fed building. I got here during lunch hour and didn't realize that HPU was in this area, too. Tried looking for healthy options and stumbled upon this place. My first time here and I wanted to try their avocado toast but they ran out. I ended up getting their veggie pesto croissant sandwich with a pineapple breeze drink. Both choices were recommended by the employee there. She was also very friendly which made for a great customer service. Thank you Sip Honolulu. Hoping to try other things when I make my way back to this area.

Cute little coffee hop that offers drinks, breakfast items like pastries and overnight oats. Staff are friendly and service is quick. Three sizes for coffee drinks hot/cold option. Ordered a small americano and price was $4.25 Convenient location for workers and students as well as others who are visiting the businesses within the plaza. Parking Validation is also available.

Cute little shop but I don't want people thinking they have a ton of options. I'm having them make me a smoothie but most of the products are not organic and didn't see any vegan baked goods

I really wanted to like this place as it's exciting to see a coffee shop In restaurant row. There's plenty of parking and seating to hang out while enjoying a drink. There are many coffee choices however no teas on the menu. There are bottled teas though but prices are rather steep. The coffee shop also offers pineapple frozen drinks and their version of a non-alcoholic blue Hawaii. I ordered a Blue Hawaii and was told the pineapples and blueberries were frozen but thought nothing of it. I waited about 10 minutes for my drink thinking that maybe they were waiting for the pineapple to thaw. My drink came out and my first sip was a huge disappointment. The $9 drink was completely watery with no flavor tasting of pineapple and blueberries dumped in a blender with water. Totally not impressed with the lack of effort in the recipe for this pricey drink. I really don't blame the barista but the cafe. If they cannot make a decent drink then do not offer it on the menu and charge ridiculous prices. Hence will not return..oh and the chai tea my friend ordered was also disappointingly watery. I hope with time this cafe will try to improve their offerings.
