Austin's Coffee Crafters

A very nice place. The drinks are very good and the matcha latte is one of the best that I have ever had, perfect texture and no sweetener needed to make it taste good. Their selection of pastries, though, is quite small and I did not particularly like the chocolate chip cookie. They do have a selection of nice-looking sandwiches, but I have not tried them. There of plenty of seating with a variety of table sizes - from a two-person table, to a long table fit to hold a whole party, to a low bench next to a shelf of children’s books perfect for sitting with the little ones. I came on a Wednesday morning and was surprised to see the place get filled by 9:30 am, so I suggest coming early if you don’t want to end up sharing a table. There is also a nice patio with outdoor seating, but on this particular day a thick fog shrouded the outdoors. If that doesn’t teeter you, they have a basket of blankets by the door that you can borrow.

I’ve visited hundreds of coffee shops across the country, and Austin’s Coffee Crafters ranks solidly in my top 10. From the Christian art and greenery to the sense of community, it’s a refreshing oasis for travelers and locals alike. One thing that really sets it apart is that the shop exclusively uses Counter Culture Coffee. To evaluate the espresso, I ordered an iced Americano without any additions, and the bright, balanced flavor confirmed the quality of the beans. I also took home a black drip coffee to test their brewed coffee—again, excellent. Nathan, the barista, was welcoming and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. The café was humming with energy, with people lounging on the patio, waiting in line, and engaging in deep conversations. Between the inviting atmosphere, commitment to quality coffee, and friendly service, Austin’s Coffee Crafters is a standout. Overall -- considering the vibes, coffee, staff, facility cleanliness, and ambiance. -- I easily rate this establishment a 10/10 K-rating.

This this is my favorite coffee shop! They have unique and delicious coffee drinks, but my even basic light roast coffee with cream is excellent! I always try to go inside because I find the decor and ambience soothing, cozy, and inviting. Their outdoor patio with plants, umbrellas, and heaters for cold days also feels special and is the perfect spot for catching up with a friend. I highly recommend Austin's Coffee Crafters!

I love the atmosphere at Austin’s! My family and I felt welcomed the moment we walked through the door. The coffee and pastries are exceptional, and the beautiful windows let in so much natural sunlight—it makes the whole space feel warm and inviting.

blown away by the experience at Austin’s, it was my first time in and I was greeted by a lovely woman named Sarah who took my order. although quite crowded and noisy it was a peaceful environment in so much as I spent 3 hours inside reading/studying. I left a few minutes before they closed and was sad to go. while packing up my things Sarah, cleaning up for the day, said goodbye to me by name(remember she took my order over 3 hours prior to this and helped half a billion people in between). it felt very personal and that she cared greatly about her profession, after a brief goodbye exchange I found out she was the new owner as of January first. she was made for a business like this, I look forward to coming back often. I liked the coffee too but i’m not a coffee connoisseur but certainly better than starbucks and dutch bros with the added perk of supporting local business that cares and deserves it. the staff seemed like they’re cut from the same cloth as Sarah, they seemed to love their job and enjoy their coworkers. Again, thank you for such a personal experience and welcoming atmosphere.

This was my first time at this place. I really enjoyed the coffee and atmosphere of this place. I had a regular coffee, dark roast, no fancy drinks because I wanted to taste the actual flavor of the coffee and I really liked it. I had no problem with customer service, which is very important to me about a place. Nothing stood out about it either, but that's ok. The place is very nice, comfortable, great atmosphere and with a good amount of seating places, it also has outdoor seating. I will definitely go back and recommend this place.

This upscale coffee house has a great vibe! It’s welcoming, has plenary of seating and is great for meeting friends. Many selections of pastries and other items to eat. It’s prices are comparable to a Starbucks. Location is serine inside and outside patio made it relaxing to enjoy the coffee.

This was a little jot from the freeway, but oh, so worth it!! There's scriptures & antiques hanging on the walls, games set on tables to play together & they even sell Bibles! I love it! The coffee was so amazing! I ordered a caramel & vanilla iced coffee. So good! The staff was very friendly! Lots of seating options! They even have a drive-through! The ambiance, both inside & outside, was wonderful! I'll definitely be back!

Austin's Coffee Crafters is an absolute gem. I stopped in recently and ordered their lemon ginger tea, and let me tell you... it was incredible. The flavor is bright, soothing, and perfectly balanced. The lemon gives it a clean, refreshing lift while the ginger adds the warm kick you want from a cozy tea. It's the kind of drink that instantly relaxes you and wakes you up at the same time. I also tried their turkey roasted sandwich with sliced apples, and it was honestly the highlight of my visit. The sweet crunch of the apples with the savory turkey was the perfect salty-sweet combo. Every bite felt intentional fresh ingredients, great texture, and a flavor balance that shows they really care about their menu. From the atmosphere to the quality of the food and drinks, Austin's Coffee Crafters delivers every time. If you're looking for a comforting drink and a satisfying bite, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

This is my first experience at this establishment and I have to say the vibe is really unique. I can't recall a vibe like this but it's pretty cool but it kinda depends on your life priorities. Let me explain a bit... First, there are some really cool eats here. Everything looks fresh and well composed in the kitchen. Scones and other pastry type eats look like they are from scratch and the baristas are very friendly and efficient. As for the vibe, I can't say exactly what it is but there are a selection of books that are most evidently religion based. It's not a knock on the establishment, it's just a first for me to come across a coffee house with this type of open announcement of their belief system. I usually think of business as religiously innocuous but it seems to work in this place. The conversations on the patio were very interesting and there were more older and established clientele. I still enjoyed my time here and the chai latte was on point. I think this place represents the small town well and is a great place to post up and write a review!

This spot has a permanent place in our weekly routine. Perfect for Bible study and homeschool lessons. Their Ripon fog (a London fog) is my go-to so delicious and just might be the best I've ever had... Love the scripture on the walls and the overall environment.

Such a cute and cozy coffee shop, definitely a cute spot to do homework or catch up with friends! Small selection of food but delectable. The people were delightful and helpful with suggestions.

I ordered the Coconut Mocha Latte and it was pure joy in a cup. Rich chocolate, creamy coconut, and smooth espresso over milk. Not too sweet, just perfectly velvety and indulgent. The café itself feels like a little sanctuary. Sunlight streams through big windows, fresh plants are tucked into every corner, and worship music played softly in the background -- artists like Josiah Queen, Chris Renzema, and John Mark Pantana. The whole space carries a calm, faith-filled warmth that makes you want to linger. It's a beautiful reminder that coffee can be more than just a drink -- it can be an experience for the soul.

Austin's Coffee Roasters is such a hidden gem in Ripon! The coffee is always fresh and full of flavor--you can really taste the difference. The vibe inside is cozy and welcoming, perfect for grabbing a quick cup or sitting down to enjoy. The staff is friendly and takes the time to make sure your drink is just right. I love supporting a local spot that clearly cares about quality and community. Definitely my go-to for coffee in Ripon!

Cute little coffee shop with lots of seating. Easy parking. I got an oat milk sugar free chocolate mocha and it was delicious! The employees made an effort to get to know me and rememberer my name, saying goodbye to me by name when I left. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in town!

Delicious and high quality drinks. Staff are all very friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere as well. When in town I always return to Austin's!

Coffee was good, service took a while, limited seating outside because there were kids using all the chairs for what seemed like bible study. And that's another thing to note, this place is super Christian forward and has bibles for sale and Christianity forward merchandise. It's hard to find specialty coffee in this area as a whole and it was pretty good/decent but the religious aspect is pretty meh but besides that the place was nice.

All time fave cafe for my morning coffee, great coffee and morning vibe here is so refreshing

Dare I say this is the best coffee shop in Ripon? Austin's Coffee Crafters is a really aesthetic coffee shop sandwiches between a couple really good restaurants and it is a great option to get a cup after a nice meal. The service is so friendly here and you are always provided a smile and attentive customer service. There is a good amount of seating indoors and outside. Inside it gets a little toasty, but it is comfortable. The decor is also very creative and well thought out. Downside is that is does close on Sundays. I ordered the Elementary Chai ($4.75) and it might be one of my favorite Chai Lattes especially for the price. It's not too sweet and they add plenty of spices on top. The barista was also super nice and told me it isn't very sweet so if I needed to add more sweetness I can ask them which was great. It was a great experience going here and I love supporting a local neighborhood coffee shop in a small town like Ripon. Parking is also fairly easy during certain times. I would definitely recommend this spot if you're around this location to stop by for some coffee or high quality teas.

Hubby and I wanted a good coffee after we voted and said let's take a ride to Austin's, in Ripon. We went inside and it was very busy which is fine. I ordered the pumpkin muffin with cream cheese it was fresh and delicious, hubby ordered a breakfast bagel and it was fresh and delicious. But, I ordered a cappuccino with lavender syrup and I didn't taste any lavender what so ever! I think they forgot it.

Such a cute little coffee shop in the Central Valley! I grew up in Manteca but have been living in San Diego for the past year, and I'd been hearing great things about Austin's, so I had to try it while visiting family up north. The area definitely needed something like this. Both times I've visited, the café has been full of people working, studying, or just catching up with friends and family. It has a great community vibe.

Their drinks are always consistent and they have a very hipster vibe overall and is a great place to work at as well with speedy wifi! Their service is quite nice as they always have a nice attention to detail

Just yes! Go! Plenty of seating, cute space to study/work/read/yap Coffee was delicious (iced sweet cream latte) And turkey w/ bacon sando was just as good; even better together. Plus they have a drive thru!

Such a cute little coffee shop with some great drinks and great food. I got a sandwich and a matcha latte. The service was very friendly and helpful since it was my first time there, I enjoyed the feel of the coffee shop as I walked it. They are deeply rooted by faith which is a breath of fresh air nowadays. Just all around great little spot to either do some work, alone time or grabbing lunch with a friend. I highly recommend

I love the vibe of this coffee shop. It's a school house atmosphere with lots of navy and natural elements. My fave! The coffee never disappoints and their biscotti is perfect for dipping. Service is fast and very friendly :) Of course for the season I got a pumpkin spice latte. It was tasty and actually not too sweet!

I've been to Austin's a handful of times now. They have quality tasting hot, vanilla lattes and delicious breakfast sandwiches. Last time I went was before Christmas 2023 coming back to Stockton from Modesto. I choose local, one of one coffee houses every time over ginormous chain coffee stores. Austin's fits the bill. What makes them stand out is that they actually have a drive thru. I never see local coffee spots have drive-thru's!!! Unfortunately the drive thru was closed for some reason and the wait was long but kinda expected for the holidays and the drive-thru being closed. It's located near almond orchards and it's pretty spectacular during the blossom season. Check out Austin's in Ripon!!!

Soo yummy as always! We had something new this time they had a mint lemonade delicious!!

I drive about 30 min out of the way to this shop, that should say something they have the best breakfast bagel sands and since I am a tea girl, I always order a matcha or chai. Both delicious. Matcha is whisked (the way it should be). The ambience is cozy. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I love the decor and various seating options. I saw some poor reviews about their customer service.. I'm not sure what that's about. I've never had poor customer service and I've been coming here periodically for years. Also, the wait time is average for a sit down coffee shop.

I'm in the hunt to find a coffee shop that sells a lavender latte. I'm always looking for that flavor first. Luckily, this place has it. We noticed that the drinks are on the expensive side. Even for just one cookie, it cost $3.50. My boyfriend ordered the alma mater. This drink had caramel and vanilla poured over ice topped with whipped cream. I went for the rosemary latte. It drink tasted really good and it reminded me of my favorite coffee shop in the Bay Area. The lavender cookie tasted lemony and had real lavender bits sprinkled on top. This place was super cute and love the décor! Staff here is friendly. Gonna have to come back to try out the salted lav and pistachio cookie.

Best coffee in Ripon, really good quality for coffee lovers. Also believe they make their own baked goods which are always delicious.

Found this place on Yelp and thought I'd try it out with my son on my day off one day since it's not too far and I'm so glad I did! The place is so cute and the staff are friendly :) I ordered at veggie sandwich and a latte the girl recommended. I can't remember what it was but both were super amazing. The sandwich had such fresh veggies! We also went back to the counter for a cookie since my son was seriously begging for one hahah They have ample seating for small groups and bigger tables to accommodate more people or people just coming to work or study. It's a really great place to come and chill. Totally coming back with my husband and daughter next time :)

Came here for the first time yesterday. I love that they have a drive thru! It makes it so much easier to order on the go. Lucky us, they still have the winter menu so we tried the Butterscotch and the Chocolate Latte with Almond milk. The butterscotch was good but my partner said it tasted slightly water down. The chocolate latte was good. I almost ordered the SF chocolate syrup on accident thinking it was something special but it stands for Sugar Free y'all hahah I felt embarrassed once I realized I didn't know what it was at first.

I'm really shocked this place is still open to be honest. The coffee and food is actually pretty good, but the service, how can the service possibly be this SLOOOOOW ALLLLLL THE TIME! Doesn't matter if you're the only car in the drive thru, guaranteed you'll be there at least 10 minutes. That is, if the drive thru is actually open. Don't they realize the more coffee they can get out a day the more money they'll make? It should not take so long to make 2 iced coffees. Starbucks is right around the corner. 20 cars there gets in and out quicker than here. Update: what I said about the service was not how I "feel" but factual. That drive thru is the worst.

Cool spot to study in Ripon! The cafe is pretty large and well air conditioned and they have tons of unique drinks. The staff were all super welcoming and kind.

Came here for breakfast and walked into a bustling and modern coffee shop. Such a gem! Beautiful color scheme and decor. Staff were friendly and provided prompt and courteous service. They also have a drive through which I have never seen in a local coffee shop. I tried the breakfast bagel sandwich with ham and cheese, overall tasty and filling. The coffee had unique rich tones, I tried the almond milk latter. Would definitely recommend a visit to this cute place.

The service, food and drinks are always in point here. The staff is so friendly and genuine. They also always have cute things to shop here. Very community oriented vibe.

Cute coffeehouse in the small town of Ripon. I ordered the elementary chai and banana bread. Both good, but I wasn't wowed by them. Service could have been better. The staff seemed like they didn't want to be there.

Such a cute coffee shop. The ambiance is literally perfect, giving it an old school feel. The coffee was superb! The roast they had on drip was really good. Unfortunately, i didn't get the name or inquire if it changes. Their pastry selection looked so good! I didn't get one this last time around, but that only means it's a good excuse to stop by to try it.

I wanted to share my experience this morning. I wish I could say that I had a pleasant experience here, but it was quit the opposite. My sister and I were in the drive thru, and ordered to sandwiches. I have been here a couple of times previously and have typically always had a long wait time in their drive thru, but once our wait time had reached around 15-20 minutes, I nudged my car forward and a younger lady with black curly hair opened the window and asked "do you have a question?" in what seemed to be an annoyed tone. In no impolite way at all, I simply asked "hi yea! Are our sandwiches almost ready?" She tilts her head at us and says verbatim, "Um no. Probably not." And shut the window on us not saying anything else, with no smile, no "sorry" no nothing except an attitude. The reason I asked is because we both had infants in the car and I was simply wondering how much longer the wait would be; after all.. we were in a drive thru. I was completely taken aback, and looked at my sister who had her mouth open in shock by the response we had just received. We decided to park our car, and go inside to wait. When inside, I politely asked one of the male employees if I could have a chat with the manager. The lady who we received the attitude from butted in and said there wasn't one on shift, that her manager works all the time and that she couldn't tell me when she was in, but that *she* was the "lead on shift". All to which, still not getting any apology for her behavior, no accommodation or apology for the long wait, nothing still, and her tone was still very off putting. I did *not* come in there to bark at them and make a fuss. I responded to her, "they have you as the lead and you're the one that gave us attitude?" she proceeded to argue with me and call me disrespectful, scoffed and said "this is too much" and muttered under her breath that i needed to go while turning away. I then left, and absolutely will not be coming back. Coming from someone who has had a restaurant family business growing up, customer service has always been a huge priority for me, and there were a million different ways she could have handled that better. I have always been polite and understanding of servers and restaurant/food workers. After hearing mixed reviews already of the place, I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and still support a local business, but that just ruined it for me. I'll take my business elsewhere; just wishing that they'd change up their behavior and mannerisms in a place that should put and treat customers first. I will definitely be in contact with the Manager or Owner.

First-time visit this morning. I usually wouldn't think much of a "coffee shop"...but, wow! The atmosphere was cozy, the staff were super friendly and helpful, and the beverages and food were sublime! I will definitely be back!

My favorite drink here is the Troublemaker. It's my go to. However they also have great sandwiches. Their breakfast sandwich with ham is delicious. Today I decided to get the Turkey & Bacon sandwich. Came on a French soft roll, Turkey, bacon, cheddar, greens, green apple slices & a lemon aioli dressing, everything was tasty & delicious. I would definitely buy it again. I will continue to come back and try other things. This is a must stop if in the area!!

We stopped in for coffee and some quick breakfast bites before attending a softball tournament at Mistlin Sports Complex across the street. The shop is attractive and clean, it wasn't crowded, and staff was pleasant. My decaf latte was good and the portion of cream cheese with my bagel was generous. There were two problems, though. One person in our party complained that her regular coffee was only lukewarm and not very strong. The other disappointment was that they offer only one size for many of the drinks. I would have preferred a much larger latte to start my morning, a la Starbucks venti. Overall, it's a good choice if you're in the area and need that coffee. But I would encourage a couple of changes.

Wow! What a great find in Ripon. Great coffee shop with nice selection of food as well. Fits right in that space between hipster coffee shops and the big corporate places. Breakfast sandwiches are fresh (not just heated in a microwave) and coffee is craft level (Counter Culture). Customer service is prompt and friendly, everything you'd want from a coffee shop. Oh, and a drive through but go inside it's a really comfortable space...with some cool books for sale.

Our local friends kept talking about this place ... so the four of us went for brunch! Upscale place and space... really enjoyed dine-in glad we waited! There is a steady stream of fans and newbies coming here. It's very clean and well-lit, welcoming with WiFi so there is a mix of young and old, students and others taking it easy. We had all kinds of sandwiches- beef, pork, chicken and veggie. same with the drinks - chais, coffee, lavender lemonade and hot chocolate (definitely should have gotten the bigger cup).... the pictures tell the story! everything was good, fresh and some surprise tastes and flavors. A great place inside and out!

I love the vibe and customer service here. The drinks are usually made to perfection and if it's not, they will make it perfect which I love. They also provide quick bites here with indoor and outdoor seatings. Highly recommend to anyone who loves coffee and if you don't, they have other drinks that's refreshing as well!

Visiting from out of town & this place was recommended. So glad we stopped in. I absolutely loved the vibe of the shop. Lots of indoor & shaded patio seating. The prices were reasonable for a specialty coffee shop. $3 for an americano with almond milk that was good. My son loved his vanilla latte because it wasn't too sweet. The only food we got was a basic bagel with cream cheese & it was yummy.

Finally made the trek to Austins and it was an amazing experience. The cappuccino was fantastic the baristas are super service oriented and the owner Alexis is an absolute class act! She came over greeted and welcomed us. So refreshing to have that hospitality touch.

Clean and organized, with a peaceful aura! Beautiful coffee designs and delightful taste. Prolonged wait, although cashier was very helpful and enlightened us with the menu options... but failed to mention when the coffee was ready.

I love Austin's! It's the seriously the best little coffee shop in the area. In addition, it is touching to know the story of Austin or "Smiley" and the reason that Austin's Coffee Crafters came to be. I enjoy coming here for the craft coffee, the delicious whole food with real ingredients (eggwiches, sandwiches, granola and yogurt bowls, etc.), their seasonal menu, and simply to sit and read a book. My all-time fave would probably have to be their salted lavender flash brew.... Obsessed is an understatement! Last summer, I made daily out-of-my-way trips to Austin's just to get my fix!

Really great coffee and place if you are in the Manteca area! I love the aesthetic of the whole place. It's very simplistic, and the tones of the place is what sold me to stop by here for coffee. The owner was very nice and helpful and actually helped me choose the drink that I got. The drink was very good, unfortunately, I forgot the name of it. Overall, definitely give this place a try if you are looking for coffee in the Manteca area!

This cafe has a really nice atmosphere. I arrived around 11:00AM on a Monday and they were completely full, I had to wait to find a place to sit! The hot chai was $5 and the shortbread was $4. Everything tasted good and the service was good as well. I enjoyed my time there.

Pretty coffee shop. I went during winter a while ago and they had such cute decor! Nice little spot to study or catch up with friends. It gives off a warm vibe :)

Absolutely disgusted with the customer service or should I say lack there of that my sister and I endured this morning. It's no surprise that the wait time for this place is ALWAYS extensive. However, when you're not busy, I am confused as to why it took over twenty minutes for two food items. While waiting a long time in the drive thru, there was no follow up or apology for the inconvenience. We got the attention of one employee who was GOD AWFUL. This woman, with black curly hair, opened the window and rudely said "um do you have a question?" When asking if our sandwiches were ready, she proceeded to disrespectfully say "ugh, probably NOT." And quickly shut the window on us before we could respond. What type of response is that? What happened to common courtesy? There are so many more responses that would have sufficed, such as a simple "let me go check on that for you." "I'm sorry for the wait, I'll be right back to let you know how much longer." Etc. Yet, she couldn't even be respectful or give us a valid explanation. Since we had two screaming babies in the car, my sister decided to go into the store to continue to wait for our order. By much surprise, when asking to speak to management the lady interrupted and said "I'm the lead you can talk to me." She had no remorse for her behavior and took no ownership for her words. Instead, she told her she needed to leave, all while mumbling under her breath to other customers about me. I usually give this place the benefit of the doubt but today sealed the deal that we will not be returning. I'm sure other Ripon natives wouldn't appreciated this incident as we usually have hospitality in this town. Unbelievable.

Cute place, love their clean packaging and the drive thru. Coffee was delish and super hot! The breakfast sandwiches were huge! Definitely filled me up. Although I didn't go inside, I'll need to come back and check out the place and try other items. The whole vibe is calling me back :)

Good coffee with wonderful ambience! This place has upscale vibe and gourmet coffee. They get their beans from Counter Culture, SF. The coffee tasted good and the barista was welcoming. Haven't tried their pastries or their seasonal drinks, will go back for the same. Definitely a great place to work or hangout with friends!!

I didn't really enjoy my coffee from here, but I did really enjoy the vibe of the place. I had an almond milk vanilla latte and was disappointed in the taste. Maybe it's the type of almond milk they use? We sat outside and hung out for a bit on their patio area which was enjoyable. The person I was with got a bagel breakfast sandwich and said it was really good.

Coffee is delicious and STRONG!!! If I had to pick one things that is missing... it is good choices. The food they have is good but I'm not big on bagels or pastries. Klean Eatz next door has a good breakfast so it is a perfect place to grab coffee and eat next door if needed. Great way to support 2 local businesses. Also... the service at Austin's is always friendly and prompt. Cool place to relax.
