Sonoran Sip, a local coffee and smoothie shop, is set to open three locations in ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥, including this one on West Speedway near North Main Avenue.
Sonoran Sip plans to source its ingredients within ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ and make every employee part of the company’s profit sharing, said Eddy Yunkherr, who, along with his wife, Brenna, are the owners.
The shop’s signature drink will be a charity coffee with 100% of the proceeds going to a local charity on a three-month rotation, Eddy Yunkherr said.
The smoothies will be made with real fruit with no added sugar. There also will be quick bites on the menu along with a rotating selection of pastries from local bakeries.
