We recently had a sweet interaction with a customer at our Greenwood store that we’d like to share this morning. A doting grandfather, brimming with excitement while on his way to pick up his daughter and granddaughter from the airport, wanted to surprise them with one of his favorite “welcome to Seattle” treats upon arrival; banana bread from Sip and Ship.

How meaningful that an original family recipe used for one of our most beloved bakery items is at the heart of another family’s happy memory making. For us, it was a reminder that the smallest actions can have a powerful impact on ourselves, our loved ones, and the communities we serve.

Here at Sip and Ship, we rise and help you shine—to make the most of life’s cherished moments.

Our stores are designed to set you up for success; providing delicious coffee, mouth-watering pastries, thoughtful cards, and unique gifts that inspire meaningful connection, and familial traditions.

Whether you’re expecting a package in the mail or want to send a care package to a loved one, visit our store today to guarantee your deliveries are stored, secured, and kept safe. Banana bread and boxes can create an unforgettable experience for you and help create special moments for others too.

We appreciate your support and for making us a part of your day.
