210-222-0149 | | | | | Description: DOWNTOWN. The name of this coffee shop doesn't even hint at one of its main attractions pastries from Sip's cousin, Restaurant Le Rêve. A rich cherry-almond torte or a slice of double-iced lemon pound cake are indulgent accompaniments to your coffee drink. And while you treat yourself to a macchiato and a slice of fudge, it's likely that people on the street will gaze enviously through the large storefront windows try not to gloat. If you come for lunch, try a panini or the lobster salad sandwich.
