Located right by Kendall/MIT station, it's a great spot to grab coffee and do work (wifi available). Atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, not too loud and not too quiet. I like that there's a mit museum next to the cafe and a book store downstairs, which you could go look at when you get tired of working. The staff are really nice, and I ordered a cappuccino and a blueberry cream cheese danish (toasted). The cappuccino was excellent! Blueberry cream cheese danish went well with the cappuccino.

Place is nice. Patties aren't your typical Haitian ones but they were ok. My latte was good and the sandwich with pikliz was really good.

The idea of connecting food and books is brilliant. The place looks awesome and I could spend hours here. The food is good. Coffee is great. Service is average. I asked about a small change and the preparing team failed (they labeled the box properly, but failed to put modified food in). Of course they redo the whole sandwich, but it cost an extra time. Surely mistakes happen, but my tolerance is zero by the usual ask for generous tips

Ripple cafe is great! It’s a welcoming cafe with great food and tasty drinks (especially their matcha drinks). The staff is super friendly and will remember you by name. They have a wide variety of food options for on the go, or a hearty lunch. The Haitian food options are great as well. I would highly recommend if you are in the Kendall sq area!

The coffee was absolutely amazing! We tried the regular drip coffee and an iced large oat milk latte.

Ripple Cafe is my go-to spot in Kendall Square! I love their lattes, and they have a lot of fun seasonal drinks and juices. The staff are kind and welcoming, and the cafe has a nice atmosphere.

Great Spot in Kendall Square for a casual cafe break. Over the past week, I've been coming to Ripple cafe for quick lunch visits or coffee breaks. The cafe offers a spacious interior, complete with comfortable bar seats and cozy lounge couhches. Although it is located right next to a bustling MIT bookstore, it has an inviting atmosphere that is great for both relaxation and work. Their specialty tea lattes have been a consistent delight. Each variety I've tried, from the London Fog to the Organic Chai Latte, has been delightfully smooth and well-crafted. As for the food, while the sandwich offerings are somewhat standard, their Haitian-inspired bowls were great. These bowls strike the right balance of rice, greens, and proteins, serving as healthy meal options. Just beware that the bowls pack a spicy punch, so pairing them with one of their specialty lattes is highly recommended.

Ripple Cafe has great service with a welcoming and friendly staff. Every time we come in, they are quick to get us our orders. They know our orders by memory! Great place that the surrounding construction crews look forward to every coffee break.

I have picked up cappuccino with oat milk multiple times here while heading to the office and I love it. Its right outside Kendall/MIT MBTA station - the location is great. I also loved the vegan spinach patties! So delicious.

Always enjoy stopping here when I am in the Kendall square neighborhood. Friendly and hospitable service complete this clean, well designed cafe that is convenient to the MIT bookstore, MIT museums and Red Line MBTA station. Coffee is pretty good, too.
