First Time at Sip N Snacks? Here’s Exactly What to Order

One of our favorite Google reviews starts with a warning: “SO HARD TO CHOOSE JUST ONE ITEM.” Fair. Between bubble tea, crepes, gelato, waffles, milkshakes, parfaits, pastries, and sandwiches, a first visit to Sip N Snacks in Arlington Heights can be a lot. So here’s the cheat sheet.

If you’re here for a drink

Creamy: the Purple Rain milk tea, the one regulars push on their friends. Fruity: Mango Fruit Tea. Hot day: Mint Lemonade, which one reviewer called very refreshing on a hot day. Coffee person: the Iced Pistachio Latte or a caramel Iced Latte. Not into caffeine: pick any refresher or smoothie.

If you’re here for dessert

The Golden Kunafa crepe is the headliner, triple chocolate, pistachio paste, and crunchy kunafa. The Lotzi (white chocolate, Lotus crumble, gelato) is the crowd-pleaser. For something spoonable, the Dubai Strawberry Cup or a tres leches cake, which one guest called perfectly soaked and so flavorful. And the gelato case speaks for itself. Start with mango.

If you’re actually hungry

We do real food too. The Mediterranean Sandwich is the sleeper hit, especially if you’re a hummus person. Grab a sandwich or a meal first, then circle back to the dessert case. Pace yourself.
