Ripe was a short walk from where I was staying. Tried them for coffee the first morning and it was really good, the girls are friendly and polite. Next day had coffee and poached eggs everything very good. Then the next day came the disappointment....While having the poached eggs, people sitting at the table next to me started to smoke, in the dining area and three metres from a doorway. Management did nothing about the problem. This occured again on the next day. Stopped having breakfast there and got takeaway coffee.

Ripe was a great find, a tiny quaint cafe on Merivale Street in South Brisbane which made us a great cup of coffee each, full of flavour and perfect tempature. Only outdoor seating was available, three or four cute table and chairs on the footpath,...perfect for a short stay.

What a find! Great coffee, fabulous staff and wonderful customers. Opens before has great pavement seating and is as nice a place to watch the city wake up as I can remember. My go to place whenever I'm in South Brisbane.

Best cafe! I came here almost everyday for the past 2 months and couldn’t fault it! Always knew my order (iced mocha, 2 sugars) and was always quick. I moved location for my job and now cannot go there. Bought a iced mocha at another cafe and am now crying about how terrible It is compared to the ones at Ripe I’ll be coming back as soon as I can!!!!

When I lived in south Brisbane, I used come to this cafe frequently for coffee. Their coffee is great! Always gets it’s rights. I would give it 10/10 for coffee. Staffs are friendly.
