Review Ripples Cafe - Paraparaumu

Gourmet Kapiti Coast and Tip Top Ice creams sold here, and very generous scoops given for the price. Looked like it was closed because it is dark inside and we were the only ones in there.

Amazing view, lovely staff and absolutely delicious food ! Am so pleased with my visit i ordered the ripples burger and it was just what i wanted ! Highly recommend!

Nice kid-friendly staff, yummy ice cream, they have a box of Lego for kids

Love working here and meeting and chatting to customers and might I add best coffee and great food

Has a great retro feel. Friendly service and good coffee and food.

Great coffee, great service, pretty girl.

Great staff, cool location.

Went there with my kids and partner. The coffee was watery and incorrectly made, the milkshakes were just creamy fluff.. did not have any ice cream or much milk in for that matter.. (tasted more like pig fat from McD's ice cream, not that real milk/ice cream milkshake ).. and the Ice Coffee was cheap. Not happy at all and won't be returning.

Had a awesome lunch the other day at ripples ,staff was very friendly and helpful .was there with my family and everyone enjoyed it . Keep up the good work

Slow service, coffee came out fifteen minutes before my toasted sandwich, it was early on a weekday morning and there was only one other group in the cafe. Toasted sandwich was disappointing, did not have ham as ordered and paid for. Cutlery and cups were not properly cleaned and looked a bit grubby. It took so long to come out I didn't bother saying anything. Will make a point of going elsewhere in future.

Slow service, chipped crockery, average food microwaved to death and $40 for the pleasure. Great view though...

I visited alone on a rainy Sunday afternoon, I was greeted pleasantly and immediately on my arrival. I was served by a delightful young man, Raymond I think, who could not be more helpful, even though I had only stopped in for a Kapiti ice cream and a coffee. He invited me to try some of the flavors on a small spoon before I chose and took so much trouble to dish me up the ice cream of my dreams, even offering cream on top. He respected my request for a small delay before the coffee, checked with me if I was ready, then brought over the coffee. Awesome!

My partner and I visited this cafe today. We ordered two large coffees and vegetarian nachos. The coffees were nice at least but we finished them and were still waiting for our food...and waiting.... it was really a joke. Then when my partner went to inquire after about 20min (reasonable for an almost empty cafe on a Monday afternoon) the woman behind the counter said "it's coming". This was before he could say anything... she just looked over at him and snapped it. at least we got a 'sorry to keep you waiting' when they came out finally. 30 minutes for some luke-warm nachos (oh and the red onion in them was just weird. it doesn't work.) We will not be returning.

Was one of the few places open in Raumati Beach on Labour day. Ordered the 'pasta special' which was sun-dried tomato and smoked chicken. Came out first time with raw, crunchy pasta spirals. Sent it back, the lady was very apologetic and gave me a $3 voucher for ice cream and produced a fresh meal. Second version came out with pasta cooked, and drenched in oil and cheese, so much so I couldn't finish it. Have a tummy-ache now. Won't be back.
