Cafe History

Ripe Cafe was first established in 1999 in what is now the Sassafras Candle Shop before moving to its current location in 2001, originally a family home. Ripe has long been a favourite amongst hills locals but is also a destination cafe welcoming people from all over. The venue offers outdoor seating on the front deck (doggy friendly) cosy & quaint seats in the main building with a fireplace, and a covered alfresco dining on the rear deck fitted with a gas log fire and overhead strip heaters to keep you warm over the cooler months. The deck is then opened up in the warmer months so that you can enjoy trees and fresh air.
