Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Public records currently show only two inspections for Sip Coffee. The most recent report on file is from Dec 2, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around two violations, down from roughly seven violations earlier in the record.

When inspectors have written things up, “food protection certificate (FPC) not held by manager or supervisor” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

Compared to the broader Manhattan restaurant scene, where the average is 77, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
