(51st & 8th Ave)
WHAT
“Bibble means to eat indulgently; sip implies cultured enjoyment.”
Bibble & Sip is an asian-flavor inspired bakery & cafe that frequently has lines out the door and for good reason. It’s an adorable, casual-yet-fancy, midtown treasure that serves a variety of tasty sweet & savory pastries, fantastic desserts and gourmet coffee & tea drinks. They’re known for their indulgent cream puffs, panna cotta jars, and specialty beverages like their Matcha Jasmine Latte or Lavender Latte (and cute latte art!) Plus, their mascot is a llama. So I’m not sure how you could ever dislike this place.
GO or NO?
If you want a sweet pick-me-up at a homey, high quality cafe- definitely go! I had the Matcha Cream Puff which has a bright, lovely dusting of rich, green matcha powder. The outside has a nice crunch and inside is a fabulous, sweet-but-not-too-sweet, distinctive white chocolate & matcha tea flavored creamy mousse- and lots of it! My only issue was that the puff is filled from the bottom… so my advice is to eat it upside down! I also enjoyed the creamy Matcha Jasmine Latte. The combo of tea flavors is refreshing and unique, making the drink a step above your average green tea latte.

I saw a video about those cream puffs last week on Facebook. I’ve put that place on my to-eat list!
Yes!! Everything there looks so delicious- I can’t wait to go back!
Oh and in the video, they did suggest eating it upside down since it’s filled with cream from the bottom.
So jealous, Cheychey!
