NAMPA, Idaho — From creative dirty sodas to blended drinks and freshly baked cookies, a family-owned business in Nampa is giving customers plenty of ways to find a new favorite.
Sipiyo, located off Kings Road near Metal Sports, offers specialty sodas, boosted waters, electrolyte drinks, and frozen lemonades, along with seasonal drink specials and homemade treats.
Owner Rachel Zook took over the business after learning the previous owners were considering moving and potentially closing or selling the shop. She said she saw an opportunity to create a welcoming space where families and friends could gather.
“I’ve always wanted is just to have a place where families can come and hang out, friends can have their weekly meet ups and just come and chill,” Zook said.
Sipiyo's menu offers customers a variety of flavors and combinations, with options to customize drinks to their liking.
Social media manager Ashlyn Bradford said the shop's monthly and seasonal specials are among the highlights. The team creates drinks with fun flavors and toppings, including whipped cream, to make each special stand out.
The shop also makes its own fruit purees and bakes cookies in-house. While sugar cookies are a regular menu item, other cookie flavors rotate with the seasons.
Customers can also experiment with different ingredients to create their own signature drinks.
