Ripple Cafe

Raine Cysewski

I want to give 5 stars for the coffee & food, because it’s really high quality. The service is so disappointing that I always leave there feeling sad. When they forget to make my drink, which happens about half the time, I get stared at while I wait as though I’m bothering them by standing there. The owner is really friendly and gives great service but the staff always seems to have trouble completing my order. This morning the associate was acting as though I was trying to take another customer’s food order, while I was just trying to ask for my coffee that was not served with the food. I’m sure that’s an issue being by the train, with people taking the wrong order, but maybe try not to treat a customer like a thief. Last time I visited, I had ordered a latte and about 3 other guests that arrived after me got their drinks before I did, and I had to remind the barista what my drink was. As a woman who is always solo I am sensitive to being passed over, especially for services I’m paying for. I wait weeks between visits because I dread being treated this way. I go back hoping for a different experience every time. Maybe I’ll try ordering ahead online…I know food service can be challenging but I just want to be treated with kindness while I get breakfast. This is written with love, I hope it gets better and I’ll keep trying because I’d like to support businesses in my community, but when I do I want to feel welcomed as part of the community.

I absolutely love Ripple cafe. After searching tirelessly for a cafe near, this is exactly what I need for good coffee and a place to work. I loved the music and environment. Thank you so much ❤️

Noway this place has a rating of 4.4 if your looking to get a decent breakfast I recommend just heading to dunking. At least they make their muffins in the morning. As soon as I saw the pastry and ordered one, immediately I could tell it had preservatives and low and behold they're from were identical to the ones sold at BJS. The price for the quality you get is the craziest part. Whenever I greeted or said hello the response was to ignore me. I've never met someone who would ignore people who help PAY YOUR BILLS. I remember when flat black owned this store. Good times. The only reason I'm assuming ripple is open is due to lease they signed. Hopefully you get your act together or you'll be hitting the road else where. Cook ur own pastries 🥲🥲🥲

My coworker and I wanted to support black owned businesses during Black History Month. Fell in love with place, ordered a few times and love the quality of the coffee. I did a Uber Eats delivery and for the past couple of days our beverages were either spilled all in the bag, or either half wasted in the bag. Today was the straw that broke the camals back after the last threedays of our items spilled in the bag. We ordered two drinks which came in a four cup holder on all three days. I feel like during the month of Black History Month they set this bar of excellence while providing us during the whole month of February two cup holders in our delivery. Not that we not in February the standards have stopped? I phoned the store and the female said she told the driver to be careful and that she was sorry for using the four cup holder. Well, I'm not happy that I payed $5 and some change for a 1/4 cup of iced macchiato. Also, yes I can tip in the app but I also am a realist and people prefer cash. Yes, the driver is getting their share but the way times are I feel like you should tip whatever you can and I tip the driver cash and now I regret. I will not be ordering unless I am picking up myself because I do not trust their packaging, the female on the phone sounded like she was high and I'm all for diversity but I don't think it is an all African American staff there based on the conversation and tone, although I don't mind being wrong but this place most likely won't get my service and I suggest you go and pick up your order and avoid delivery...AT YOUR OWN RISK!
