The food here is excellent. I had the shrimp cocktail, focaccia bread, and peach blackberry crisp. They were all extremely tasty. There is not much room inside however, there are a few tables outside also. I would recommend this place for a special lunch or dinner.

This might be the best meal I've had in Portland. The poached albacore was delicious, the veggies were fresh, and tasty and the vegan coconut lime ice cream was surprisingly creamy. I went for their Sunday menu and I'm looking forward to trying what they have for dinner.

Absolutely delicious! Not cheap but well worth the price - I feel sorry if you hadn't had the chance to try their crab roll, 8/18 was the last day for them (for now, I hope) The burrata is also delicious, definitely worth trying the frozen custard too!

My family and I come here for the FOOD - it's absolutely fantastic. Pasta is fresh and handmade, produce is locally grown, and the oysters! Incredible. I really love the delicious wine pairings as well. My picky 7-year-old devoured the rigatoni and vodka sauce, with extra parmesan cheese of course. My husband had the bucatini carbonara and I had the pasta with spring veggies. Desserts are delicious - I loved the key lime tart and strawberry tiramisu. And don't get me started on the frozen custard. I have had the cinnamon blondie, grasshopper, butter pecan, passionfruit, and marionberry creme fraiche flavors...yum! Service can be a bit slow because they are a small operation, so just have patience. Look them in the eye, smile, and say hi! The staff is friendly and helpful - we've always gotten good service here. It's more of a Euro vibe where they let you linger over your meal rather than constantly ask you if everything is good. If you like delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere, come here and enjoy yourself.

Don't be fooled by the simple sounding menu, the food here is delicious! Very fresh, seasonal, inventive flavor combos and everything was very high quality. 5 stars for food. 4 stars because service was very slow, but it was busy and they may have been short staffed the day I visited. A good place to go if you're not in a rush and want to enjoy amazing food. I went to Beast a couple of times years ago and this new restaurant lives up to the same high quality but at a more affordable price.

This is a wonderful restaurant! My daughter said the milk bread on this crab roll was the best she has ever had. The fresh pasta tastes like it is straight out of a cafe in Italy. Wonderful wine list by the glass and bottle selection. To top it off we each had a scoop of fresh custard that was perfect. We highly suggest this great place.

One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in some time! The atmosphere was charming and so inviting, the service made us feel like home and the food was beyond incredible! We’re already planning our next meal back. Thank you!!

This place is unbelievable. Picking stuff up for cooking at home is so convenient and so delicious, plus eating at the restaurant itself is amazing. The bucatini in vodka sauce is seriously messed up, it’s otherworldly. I’d eat it for every meal if I had unlimited money and a higher tolerance for dairy.Messed. Up. 10/10.

They say it's the small things that matter!! Well it's true!Walking up to the business I was almost instantly transformed to another place here on Earth. A place that was very comforting and easy to fall into. There sitting at the first table sat my friend who was waiting for us. At the table she sat next to the most cute bouquet of flowers presented to every table. a very simple bouquet but stunningly enough to grasp my attention to all bouquets. SMALL THINGS RIGHT!The waitress was efficient, friendly, and also knowledgeable of the menu and their prices. She knew just when to chime in ( when we were talking with each other and not to her)with a question on the order when appropriate. she was a gem!! THINGS ONE WOULD EXPECT BUT AGAIN,SMALL THINGS!!The owner coming over to our table to thank us for coming by. Offering a special treat at the end of our meal! REALLY WAS small to her probably but it meant more than she could know to my partner and I there with our out of town friend!So like i said they say that the small things matter... It most certainly does!!

I had the crab roll which was absolutely delicious. The roll was toasted perfectly, and the crab seasoned just right. You definitely get your money’s worth as the roll is overflowing with crab ?
Ripe Cooperative is a very high-quality eatery with excellent dishes. We shared the crab role and olives - both simply wonderful in every way. I had the Calabrian Tartine and my husband had the Bucatini Carbonara. Tartine had excellent flavor and texture all around - creamy whipped ricotta, spicy honey, crunchy crispy edges of the sweet potato toast. Every bite was delightful. Carbonara was very good - super creamy and pasta done just right, a little light on the pancetta in my opinion, but I’m probably wrong and from an authenticity standpoint it was just right.Wonderful, timely, attentive, kind, professional service. Seating situation was a slightly less stellar. Tables and chairs are very thin metal and felt a little unstable at times. Outdoor heater also had a terrible high-pitched squeal that took away from the experience, unfortunately. I know they are doing their best in these strange times though so not gunna dock them for it. Prices are a little high for both quantity and quality, but again, hard times and supply chain and all that. It was a nice splurge for something so well done.

Delish food and great times. Order a cocktail from the bar across the street

I’ve eaten at Ripe Cooperative several times this summer, and I’ve had quite a few of their take-out meals. Ripe really is serving some of the best food in Portland right now. Yes, you do pay for the quality, but frankly, it’s worth every penny!

Over priced, small portions, and pretty mediocre flavors / textures. Gaspachio was good.

Lovely little market with a limited selection of provisions. Food is very good though rather overpriced. Having said that, niçoise was worth every penny
