Wow. Great little Cafe in Ivonhoe. Service was amazing and the set up was nice and relaxing. The breakfast options were easy to choose from and easily amendable with friendly options. Had the Ripple big brekkie and loved it. I wanted a sauce to add and no hesitation they gave me options and it was just a great experience overall. If in the area get on it, so many cakes and treats for a coffee break. Thanks team

I had a really nice experience at Ripple’s Cafe. The coffee was excellent and very fairly priced, and the food was just as good. The cafe itself is tidy, welcoming, and a great spot to relax. It’s perfect for a morning coffee, a bite to eat, or even sitting with family for a good chat. Everything was great, and I highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I love this cafe and it's become one of my local favourites. The food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced. The staff are always lovely and it has a great undercover outdoor area. Its charming and they are dog friendly which is a bonus. Good coffee.
