The one who started it

Sip On The Square is an owner-run café, founded by a proud Nevisian, Dian Hanley, also popularly known as ‘Dede’, with a passion for hospitality, creativity, coffee, and meaningful experiences.

Inspired by her love for coffee, cafés, and the things she has experienced through her travels, and with over 30 years in the service industry, Sip On The Square was created as a personal expression of that journey — and, most importantly, as a way of giving back through service to the people of Nevis.

The road here

Sip On The Square opened its doors in 2020, at a moment when the entire world was facing an unprecedented challenge. The COVID-19 pandemic had brought uncertainty to communities everywhere, businesses were struggling to survive, and people were searching for moments of comfort and connection.

It was during this difficult time that Sip On The Square began its journey — not simply as a café, but as a place where people could pause, connect, and enjoy a little sense of normalcy during an otherwise uncertain time.

More than a cup of coffee

At Sip On The Square, we offer more than just a great cup of coffee. It is designed to be an experience, bringing together great coffee, wine, drinks and food with thoughtful service, creativity, and a welcoming atmosphere where locals and visitors can relax, connect, and enjoy something special.

Our menu has something for everyone — from light bites and healthy options to delicious, satisfying meals made to suit a variety of lifestyles and tastes. Whether you are grabbing a quick coffee, enjoying a light lunch, meeting with friends, or simply taking a moment for yourself, there is always something worth savouring at Sip On The Square.

Come for the coffee. Stay for the experience.
