Ripple Cafe
314 Main St, Cambridge, MA
Crema's Take
“Ripple Cafe feels like the kind of neighborhood spot where the team genuinely cares—even staff wrapping up at closing time won't rush you out the door. Their creative drinks shine, from lavender-spiked chai to signature creations like the Haitian limeade, while their sandwiches are a consistent highlight worth returning for, paired with light vegetarian options and matcha that hit the mark. It's perfectly positioned near Kendall for a slow, unhurried sit with reasonable pricing and the kind of attentive service that makes you want to become a regular.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

Tasty vegetarian rice bowl with fresh vegetables! And the perfect hot chai with lavender. The location is convenient by Kendall station. Pricing was reasonable, total for two items was $26. I hope they add more vegan and vegetarian options!

Had an unfortunate lunch experience here; the food quality was unacceptable. Ordered the “tomato bisque soup and grilled cheese” for $16 and was really shocked at the result. Plain white bread with an American single hardened and torched (not melted) and very underripe…
I always have the best experience when I go there. The staff is amazing! Friendly and attentive. The food and drinks are always delicious. The London Fog latte, the Haitian limeade, the Haitian inspired bowls. I cannot say enough, I frequently go there and am never disappointed.
