About SIP

A small van, a big part of the community.

SIP is a mobile coffee and matcha van (also known as a coffee trailer) roaming the Algarve, serving specialty coffee and healthy bites to the local expat community.

Specialty coffee
🍵 Iced matcha
🥤 Protein smoothies
🥗 Salad of the day

Ellie and Dan run SIP themselves, so when you find the van, it's usually one of them pulling your shot. We also take SIP out for private hire and events.

Same coffee wherever we park, different view every time. Part of the fun is seeing where we've turned up this week.
