The First Sip Coffee House

Great coffee, warm, inviting, and very friendly staff! This place is solid! I'm in Coldspring for work and I come here as much as possible. I get a large 20 ounce cup of coffee, drink it here, and then get me a refill for just over $3 bucks! PLUS I ALWAYS LEAVE THE HARD WORKING YOUNG LADY'S A TIP! They make my morning and put a smile on my face before a long hot day at work! Helps me start yet another day and be thankful for the little things in life that truly matter! Thanks Ladies!

I haven't tried the coffee yet, but the sunrise energy drink was delicious! She has a Pay-It-Forward board where you can buy a drink for someone else to claim, such as a firefighter or a veteran. Very cool!

👍 This is the only coffee shop in the tiny village of Coldspring, which can save locals and visitors the drive to the nearest Starbucks in Livingston, Texas. 👎 However, that time-saving depends on how many people are in line. It can take over 20 minutes just to place a drink order... almost enough time to reach Livingston. I’d recommend hiring an extra worker to help during peak hours, especially on weekends when lakehouse traffic picks up. 👎 On the topic of peak hours, the business used to have unpredictable hours. For the longest time, no one knew when it would be open. It often opened so late that anyone commuting to Houston might as well stop elsewhere. As one neighbor put it, “They’re open only when they feel like it.” 👍 The shop is nicely decorated and offers card games to keep kids entertained while waiting for drinks. 👍 At the time of this review, they were also giving out free stickers with uplifting or inspirational messages. 🤜 Much of the decor and available books are Christian-themed, so visitors of other faiths or non-religious patrons may want to be aware. 👍 The staff is very polite, which is a welcome contrast to the rushed, no-nonsense service often found in cities. 👍 The coffee is good. 👍 And for such a small shop, they offer a surprisingly wide variety of drinks.

It was my first time here with my mom and we loved it. We got an iced vanilla latte and hot vanilla latte. Our drinks tasted amazing and the muffins are delicious. I will definitely be returning. We sat outside and it was very peaceful.

I got the hot chocolate & blueberry muffin while my husband got a quad espresso & sea salt caramel biscotti. The hot chocolate was delicious & had the perfect amount of sweetness! My husband said the espresso had nice crema foam on top & a great aroma & strength. The owner, Jillian, is very friendly & the decor was really cozy!❤️❤️❤️
