Welcome to Downtown Sips

“ This is the atmosphere I’ve been looking for on the island! The food is delicious, the banana bread has chocolate chips and is very moist. The chai latte was really tasty! I can’t wait to go back from more. ”

“ I love this addition to St.John. My chai was amazing, along with any espresso we got! I truly enjoyed how the space though small never felt crowded. The wine selection was amazing and fair with pricing. It was my first and last stop on the island this year and I cannot wait to see it next year!! ”

“ Started every morning of our trip here. Great coffee and super fun staff. Inviting, talkative and kind. They even offer free compost from their waste! Super cool. ”

“ Right across from The Longboard is Downtown Sips, a tiny coffee shop. We grabbed a couple coffees and pastries there while waiting for the ferry (1/6/24). It’s very small, and we had our luggage, but we managed. The coffee was great, and so was the Berry Cream Cheese Danish. I’d definitely recommend this place, if you’re looking for coffee to go, and fresh-baked yumminess! Not too pricey. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. ”

“ If you’re looking for the best coffee shop on St John’s you can stop reading the review here and just go to Downtown Sip’s. As a coffee snob I am usually extremely disappointed by any coffee I get in the Caribbean. From the Bahamas to the USVIs I am almost always left disappointed and frustrated that I just over paid for horrible coffee. Not here. Downtown Sips has great lattes and matcha that are by far the best coffee and matcha on St John’s. The barista was great. Whatever you do please save your money and don’t go to St John’s Provisions. Biggest waste of money ever. First time I ever dumped a coffee out after having one sip in my life. ”

“ this place is AMAZING! I work in coffee and I wasn’t sure what the coffee would be like on the island but this place is so yummy! I came here every morning for an iced honey latte and it was so delicious! If you are looking for good specialty coffee on St.John’s this is the place! ”

“ Kim is fantastic, her mocha and cappuccino were absolutely delicious as well as her apple crumb cake, very clean and courteous, highly recommend! ”
