Coffee is one of my vices –
I drink it daily, usually more than
once. In fact, coffee was one of the
first bonds that I shared with my
co-editor, Brian Sherman. He and I
both love the stuff, although he
drinks his totally black, no cream or
sugar, and I like to experiment a little more with lattes,
espressos, cappucinos or whatever woos me at the time.
In addition to coffee, Brian and I both love support-
ing independent businesses. We recently discovered
several awesome places that are serving java around East
Cooper, so we decided it was time to share our favorite
spots to get a caffeine jolt with our readers. After all,
winter is the perfect time to sip a hot drink and contem-
plate what your plans are for the coming year.

September, Sip offers indoor seating, as well as a patio
facing Ben Sawyer Boulevard. On a beautiful Lowcountry
day, we dropped by to visit with owner Mark Dewitt,
