Where stories steep and magic lingers...

A cozy cottagecore shop for books, brews, and kindred spirits

Hello, friends!

Welcome to Sip on Stories — an independent online bookstore rooted in cozy reads, curated coffee, and cottagecore charm.

Based in Matthews, North Carolina, we thoughtfully pair hand-selected books with small-batch coffee, bookish gifts, and our signature book and coffee subscription boxes, shipped nationwide. Everything we do is inspired by slow living and the simple joy of savoring a good story with the perfect sip.
