$5 for a Thomas grocery store bagel that they can’t even put cream cheese on? Shame. Will not be ordering from here again, at least at Dunkin, it’s half the price and you get what you’re expecting. Dorchester is not gentrified enough to pull this garbage off. Do better.

Update: also it’s very clear they don’t test out the items they put out for customers because if one person tried to use the plastic utensils they send out with orders, they’d probably stop buying them. Why would you supply knives with a huge angle along the top so all the spread gets stuck there instead of going on your food???? If I only wanted cream cheese on the edges of my bagel, I would tear and dip. If they only put the cream cheese on the bagel for us 🙃

Update to update: Do not order the double chocolate muffin

This is quite literally be the worst café I have ever ordered from.

I have to shout out Ripple Cafe for having the BEST coffee cups out there HANDS DOWN… For those who know me personally know that I have battled Raynaud’s for many years due to the damage to the veins in my hands from the many years of using air tools… Trips to the frozen food section can be literally dangerous for my hands as I can get frostbite from simply holding a gallon of ice cream for just a matter of minutes, but I also have a sensitivity to hot Items and for me I need a good coffee cup.

They nailed it!!! A cup that insolates the heat perfectly!!!

As for the food I have to go back to give a true rating… I only grabbed a coffee & muffin this morning, but the menu looks so good!

Wow! This place is awesome!! Had a berry blast smoothie with vegan protein powder and it was so tasty and delicious. I came here after a 2.5 mile run and this cafe was the perfect rejuvenation spot!!! 10/10!! The customer service is very quick and professional. Will definitely be coming back.

I still think about my visit to this café! The atmosphere, the smile on the servers faces, the vibe, the food and drinks? Everything was amazing! The workers were so delightful! The food was delicious! I got the Summer days smoothie and the beef rice bowl and it was spectacular!
I might have to physically restrain myself from stopping by everyday, that’s how much I loved it there !

I saw a big chain coffee store across the street from Ripple. Thought I would try a local place that looked cool. Glad I did. The atmosphere and vibe is laid back, maybe Carribean. I asked and was told that the owner is a Haitian woman who lives locally. Her employees live locally and are diverse - helpful and intelligent people. Nice to chat with them too. Great Place.

I order from this café 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!

This is a very good place to get a drink or a quick bite. I had a limeade and a Danish, both of which were quite good. They have a good selection, too. Definitely worth visiting again if I need a drink or snack and I'm in the area.

Finally made it here and no disappointments! From the friendly staff to the simple but cute decor, Ripple Cafe is a must visit! Great menu options! I ordered two iced oatmilk lattes (Brown Sugar Cinnamon and Pistachio Vanilla), a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel, pistachio muffin and an almond crossaint Everything was really good! The iced lattes had an equal balance of oatmilk espresso and sweetness. The food was hot and they were even able to warm up my pastries. Will have to come back soon!
