They need to change the workflow. In the morning they have two people working the drive through and one on register inside. Instead of having a dedicated person making sandwiches, they have the person running the inside register make all of their own orders. That means that if one person orders a sandwich before you in line– about eight cars will be helped with coffee before you get to order while the person makes everything in the back.

The first Sip n Dip I’ve ever been to, this location is my usual stop during my trips over to RWU during the semester. Still my favourite out of the four ‘Dips I’ve been to, the girls here are super sweet and definitely know how to serve up awesome iced coffee. I love that their blend is always just a smidgen stronger and darker than their other locations. I’ve recently become obsessed with their Pistachio iced but prior to that, their Candy Crunch is pretty amazing too. As for their donuts? 100% obsessed. They’re the closest in texture and style to Allie’s than anywhere else I’ve tried so far(other than Donut Xpress in Woonsocket). Grease soaked bags and crispy brown edges galore! Seriously, I love everything they serve here.

My favorite donuts are Allie’s. Sorry, but my second favorite are Sip and Dip donuts. They still fry up crispy, and taste like a donut should. Dunkin donuts are mush by comparison. My favorites are old fashioned and marbled stick donuts. I like their big, beautiful coffee rolls too. Giant muffins. I think I’ve had them all. Their fat free muffins are kind of dense and un appealing, but their regular muffins are good. Lemon squares, bagels, and the occasional apple turnover round out my usual fare. I’ve been going to this particular shop since they opened and the same people are still working there. The same servers and the same guys in the back. I think the owner is Azores Portuguese and they are all some how related. You see chourice and cacoula sandwiches her and there. Kind of a clue!!! Food and service has been consistent all these years. Not so typical in this day and age. If I’m not in South County, Sip and Dip is my go to donut shop.

Best drive through coffee around. If you get the iced coffee make sure you get the eye-opener(there version of bold coffee). Thank god this place is around were i can get iced coffee that is not literally brown iced water.

I have wanted to go here for a while because I love the name! I was a bit disappointed. The staff weren’t very friendly, even though we were the only ones in there. They were helpful in providing me with a free cup of ice water. The coffee is your average watered-down stuff(quite similar to DD), which I can only tolerate when it’s loaded with cream and sugar, and french vanilla flavoring. The donut selection was underwhelming — everything seemed to be out and it was only 12 noon on a Saturday. Ordered an old-fashioned donut and a golden cruller. Both were quite dry, and didn’t taste the freshest. Definitely not the crullers I remember getting at a bakery in Jersey with my folks. I love supporting an independent business, but for high-quality donuts, I’ll probably stick to DD, after I try SND one more time.

I want to love this place. They have sooooo many flavored coffee options and they all sound delicious. The problem is the coffee is a lighter roast and when I get a coffee all I taste in the flavor and not the coffee. I prefer darker roast coffees, so that is on me, rather than SipNDip. The service is always fast, efficient and friendly. Last time I drove through I noticed they now have dark roast coffee, but not flavored. I’ll have to give it a try and hopefully some day they get dark roast flavored coffee.

Sip N’ Dip has seriously the most fabulous iced coffee in New England. Their secret is that they always shake and blend everything well. It’s really what makes the coffee awesome. My absolutely favorite is the crazy chocolate banana iced coffee. It’s ½ hot(or rather, iced) cocoa, ½ coffee, and a shot of banana flavor. Several times I’ve driven over a ½ hour to get it. It’s really that good. Just make sure you don’t overdo the sugar, because there’s already plenty in the hot cocoa mix. Another awesome beverage is their«frozen hot chocolate.» I know dunkin’ tried to pull off a similar drink last summer, but it didn’t even come close to the awesomeness of Sip N’ Dip’s. It’s just sweet enough, and it REALLY tastes JUST like hot cocoa… except frozen. As for food, their glazed sticks are where it’s at. Pretty much any of the baked goods are excellent. The sandwiches are fairly average tasting, but it definitely has that«home made» feel to it. I think what makes this place awesome is that the people who work here LOVE coffee. They constantly create new flavors, and have a «flavor of the month» based on their findings. If you love New England iced coffee and you haven’t tried this place… you haven’t LIVED.

I’m not a huge fan of flavored coffee(Dunkin’ regular is my go to) but there’s nothing like their hot and iced coffee — the best around! Love this local coffee shop, I wish there were more!

This is my second review of a Sip N Dip location. As my review of the one in Bristol, this one will pretty much follow suit. Awesome coffee. Yummy donuts, bagels and b’fast sandwiches. One of the ladies always has my coffee made by the time I walk up to the counter. That’s what sets Sip N Dip apart from other chains. Dunkin Donuts has no place in my life.

Yummy coffee, especially the iced varieties. Most of the times they add a lot of sugar, so be careful if you like it sweet but not too sweet.
