It’s no secret that our employees are what make Sip and Ship shine, and we’re excited to share more about them with you. In a new monthly series, you’ll receive a digital postcard highlighting our talented crew members, featuring unique information about them that you wouldn’t otherwise have known —besides being a bright spot in your day.
Your first digital postcard comes from Sharyn, a mastermind behind the espresso machine, and hardworking Shift Lead at Greenwood Sip and Ship. Hailing from the East Coast, Sharyn is a die-hard Kraken fan, loves to play ice hockey, and regularly performs in the Kraken pep band. She recently adopted her beloved pup Maizy (pictured above) —enjoying cozy cuddles with her and walking around Greenlake. Sharyn shares more with us below:
What’s a place you will always cherish?
Swallowtail Lighthouse on Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick, Canada. This is the first sign of good times I saw every summer on my way to Whale Camp, where I developed a passion for marine science, preservation, and especially whales!
What is your favorite coffee experience or service experience you’ve ever had?
George Howell Coffee in Boston-- This was the first time someone knowledgeable ever talked to me about coffee, which immediately piqued my interest. This was also where I was first exposed to different brewing/roasting methods and they affect the nuances and tastes of different coffee. Years later, I still reflect on what I learned as a customer there.
What is your go-to beverage and pastry at Sip and Ship?
My morning bevi is the French Vanilla Kiss, iced with oat milk... YUM. As for pastries? I've made many banana bread recipes in my life, but Uncle Bentley's is by FAR the best one I've had. Highly recommended.
Sharyn has also redesigned Sip and Ship’s very own Pastry Passport. Making a trip to collect your mail, packages and last minute gifts —even more worthwhile. After 10 purchases, the 11th pastry is free—your choice!
We can’t wait for you to sink your teeth into our house-made savory rosemary cheddar scone or chewy ginger molasses cookie.
Receiving and picking up packages has never been so easy, secure, or tasted so good! Sign up here and we'll see you soon!
