I order from this cafe all the time—it’s become one of my favorite go-to spots. The lattes are consistently smooth and flavorful, and you really can’t beat their patties—fresh, perfectly seasoned, and always satisfying. I did have one off experience with an order that wasn’t quite right. I called in, and honestly, I wasn’t in the best mood and didn’t come across as pleasantly as I should have. Despite that, the manager handled the situation with total professionalism and kindness. They listened apologized sincerely, and offered to remake my drink without hesitation for my next visit. The team here goes the extra mile, and it shows. Great vibe, great customer service, and consistently solid coffee and bites. Highly recommend!

So happy that this spot opened up. The owners are passionate about their craft, know about their coffee and are just genuinely good people. Haven’t had the chance to try their new food options, but just by the looks of their Instagram, I can tell it’s delicious! If you live in the area, and want a quality cup of coffee, have no hesitation & just go to Ripple!!!

Coffee was incredible. Vibe and decor are on point. Staff is friendly and they know how to make good coffee. I got a salted caramel latte and a white chocolate latte and both were absolutely delicious, I subbed almond milk for regular milk (0.50). Sometimes when people use almond milk it makes the latte watered down, but what I got was rich, smooth, creamy and thick. The espresso flavors really shined without being overpowered by the milk or flavored syrup. Please go here if you’re looking for good coffee and good vibes.

I ordered a fish sandwich yesterday, which unfortunately wasn’t up to par and definitely not as good as the first time I purchased one however a staff member was kind enough to give me a free sandwich today and they even threw in a free slice of banana bread! It was top-notch customer service And I hope they get some type of recognition for their kindness and professionalism. Also the iced macchiato, while a little on the small side, is delicious. I will definitely go back there again.

The food, service, and vibes are amazing! Such a welcoming environment with a calm aesthetic and great music. It’s an excellent place to do work, have meetings, and link up with friends for a good time. The baristas have a great attitude and I noticed they go above and beyond to make sure each customer leaves satisfied :). The menu has super creative beverages and eats, I try something new every time and I’ve enjoyed them all! I’ll always come to Ripple Cafe!
