Espresso & coffee
Classic espresso drinks and brewed coffee with the balance you want before work — or after.
Social Sips Cafe & Bar
Structure in the cup. Warmth in the room.
Social Sips is a Cleveland Street cafe and bar: espresso done with care, Italian-style gelato scooped to order, and boba you can tune to your taste — a composed experience that still feels like your neighborhood spot.
What we offer
Three disciplines — one counter
Coffee, gelato, and boba, each treated as its own craft. Pick your lane, or mix them in one visit.
Artisan gelato
Italian-style gelato scooped to order: dense, silky, and built to carry real flavor.
Handcrafted boba
Milk teas, fruit teas, and signature blends — customized with your base, ice, and add-ins.
Our approach
Clarity before decoration
We care how things are made — ratios, temperature, and texture — so flavor stays honest in Florida heat.
Gelato, not soft-serve
Slower churn, less air, and a milk-forward mix — so pistachio tastes like pistachio, not just sugar.
Boba you can dial in
Pick your tea base, sweetness, and toppings — we build the cup the way you actually like it.
A real neighborhood room
We’re on Cleveland Street to be part of Clearwater’s rhythm — quick stops welcome, long visits encouraged.
The room
Made for regulars
Social Sips is the kind of place you bookmark: gelato when you want dessert without the heaviness, boba when you want something playful, and coffee when you need the day to start on time.
We care about texture and temperature as much as toppings — because a great cup should still taste great halfway through a Florida afternoon.

What people say
If you’ve enjoyed a visit, a quick note on Google helps neighbors find us — and helps us keep improving.
A fresh new spot that I found on my journey through Clearwater. Stopped in for a gelato and found that they have authentic Italian gelato made by an Italian family that immigrated here in the 70's. Was even more surprised when I found that they served my favorite brand of coffee Buddy Brew local to Tampa.
This is a super laid back spot with a very interesting concept. The Gelato is some of the best I've had since moving to Florida, the atmosphere is unique, inviting and extremely comfortable. I will definitely be coming back regularly.
The best cold brew and cappuccinos I've ever had. They know my drinks and are very consistent. Keep up the great work!
The associates that work here are very helpful and friendly. One of the associates went out of his way to get an item for us from one of their other stores. We will be back.
