Probably the best specialty coffee I've had in the valley!! Beautiful and warming decor AAAAAAND the whole store was giving AUTUMN Staff was welcoming, definitely loved the energy of the person on register! Didn't catch their name but we appreciated the conversation and the help. We ordered a 16oz black dark roast drip, the Alma Mater, and the Honey&Pecan cream cheese bagel! We enjoyed everything! I'm such a big fan of specialty drip coffee, the dark roast was giving Ethiopian and muaaaaah chefs kiss. The Alma Mater was creamy and sweet and so caramel-y! It only comes ice I believe and regular milk but it hits the spot for something sweet, creamy, and a pick me up! The bagel itself was crunchy, yet soft(like me), delicious with the cream cheese! The honey pecan was subtle and sweet yet doesn't over power the cream. 5/5! There is a lot more I wanted to try here, like some specialty lattes and pastries! Might've found my go to coffee shop! read more

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. read more

I finally got to visit Austin's because I've heard so many good things about it! The people were so friendly. The coffee was delicious! I got a breve latte and a lemon poppyseed scone. My mom got the pumpkin seed cranberry scone and a breve latte. My only wish is that once all the opening kinks get figured out is that organic milk be used. Then this place will be perfect . I can't wait to come back! read more

Austin's coffee is a new favorite to grab a coffee and spend some time reading. I've been a few times now; tried a few good options and a couple different drinks.. but today I wanna give a shout out to one of their employees (I wish I caught his name) he has a little bit longer brown hair, glasses and such a gentle countenance. I was there about 1.5 hours (it was slow) While I was sitting at the table outside he came out to clean up and offered to get me a water, and even refilled my drink! What?! It wasn't the refill that made my day; it was his kindness and attention to detail. We have a lot of ugly in the world right now; and his kindness really made my day! Thank you sir, I'll be back because of you. read more

The staff is friendly and always very informative with their drinks if you're unsure what to get. They have the besttttt lavender lemonade, I believe it's called like a Summer School Julep and the Black tea with lemonade (the librarian) is also amazing. I'm not a coffee person so I can't speak to the coffee but otherwise I do go 30 minutes to get there just for my drinks so it's definitely worth the drive!! read more

Have now come almost every day when I'm in town on my days off. Consistently great craft coffee. And excellent service. Best cafe in town hands down! read more

Nice ambiance and friendly service. A great place to stop for a cup of joe. They have seating inside and outside. Recommended.

I'm a regular! I go there every day because I love their lattes! The ambiance is perfect for coffee dates, and it's a great place to work away from home. Likewise, I adore all the employees! They're friendly and welcoming! read more

I have to say this was the worst coffee I've ever had. Waited 30 mins in the drive through for the troublemaker and it tasted like watered down milk. The employees were nice but all seemed flustered. read more

Coffee : Afraid I will become addicted to this coffee . I drove from Mountain House which is 20 miles away to this place just to have a cup of coffee. Ambience: Pleasant and welcoming. Service: Very nice people. Suggestion: Don't leave this consistency. read more

This is one of the most wonderful coffee shops, ever! I've been to coffee shops and cafes all over the world, and this is one of my favorites in the USA. I have to admit, I was honestly SHOCKED, to find this place all the way over in Ripon, California, but I love heading over there, to enjoy their variety of menu options. My favorite drink is their Straight-a latte, their Affogato (espresso with ice cream), their Elementary Chai (comes in iced chai, too), and their creative lemonades. I love their bagel sandwiches (I've had all of them!), and the interior decor is so nice. The owners put a lot of thought and consideration into creating a serene and peaceful spot for customers, and it really shows. The outdoor patio is equally as lovely. So get over to Ripon to visit Austin's Coffee, and then head over to Zinc House Farm (just two miles away) to go pick fruit and get fresh laid eggs! It's a great date, and or, family outing. read more

Very disappointed. We drove out of our way to get a good coffee in a real mug. If I wanted a paper cup I'd have gone to Starbucks. When I asked for a latte in a mug the girl at the counter told me they were under staffed (5 employees visible) and didn't want to have to wash dishes. We settled for our paper cup coffee which was luke warm. Not even a good coffee. This place has definitely gone down hill. What a waste of $13. read more

Austin's is superb. Good service, great coffee and food, and an enjoyable atmosphere. I also love all the Crossway books for sale!

Another first for me! I wanted to grab a chai latte from somewhere new, and I decided to try this place since I was in the area. When you first pull up to it, it has a welcoming modern ambiance to it, especially with the location being in a newer shopping area. There were a lot of people mingling and working on their laptops here, so I am assuming this is a hub for a lot of residents. Ordering was straightforward and the cashier was helpful with answering any questions I had. I tried their iced chai latte with oat milk and their bacon & cheddar breakfast sandwich. The chai tasted a lot less sweet than other chai drinks I've had, which I thought was a nice change from what I have gotten before. The breakfast sandwich was surprising with how flavorful and filling it was, too! The only thing I would slightly complain about is that it took a few minutes after getting my sandwich for the barista to ask me if I was waiting for my drink while the other staff members were walking around doing nothing. Nonetheless, I think it is a nice comfy place to get a coffee and work at. If you're in the Ripon area, I would give this place a try. read more

Just went here this morning to get a coffee and study a bit. At around 9am, it wasn't the most crowded. I ordered a latte with oat milk and added some stevia, and it tasted heavenly! Also got a chocolate biscotti on the side which was pretty standard but I still enjoyed it. The vibes of this cafe are also nice, nice layout and love the openness! The staff was very friendly too :) read more

Really enjoyed their turkey sandwich and fog tea drink. Recommend you try this place! Very cute and nice people working there.

Yay! You now have 1000 likes on Facebook! I love this place so much! We went for the first time 2 weeks ago and we've been several times since. We even went twice one day. I have got a few family members to go their too. We bought their homemade shortbread cookies as Mother's day gifts. I'm obsessed! I love the atmosphere at Austin's even though we've only been through the drive thru (because of covid19). It has a small town feel. It's like its straight out a Hallmark movie. They have a rewards program, which is a huge bonus for us. It is a stamp card that gets you a free drink on your 10th drink purchase. We are hoping they come out with a loyalty card for food purchases. I love love love their lavender products. I hope they keep them year round! All of their syrups are homemade but so far I've only had the lavender. My favorite thing to order is the lavender lemon shortbread cookie and the lavender steamed milk. That comes out to only $5 total. They're so much better than Starbucks. The only downside is the sandwiches are expensive ($9, I believe). But they're made with high quality ingredients such as premium bacon, homemade bread, and their own herb lemon mayo. I honestly want one right now. They are delicious! They are about the size of a hamburger. They do not come with any sides. I wish they came with a pickle and a side of potato salad or a green salad for that price. The shortbread cookies are amazing. They come in 3 flavors, Lavender lemon, chocolate turtle, and pistachio. I have bought all 3 but I have only personally tried the lavender and the pistachio. The lavender is amazing and they are so pretty with real lavender flowers sprinkled on top. Every time we go we buy at least 2. I love pistachios and anything pistachio flavored but the pistachio flavor didn't really come through for me, I think because it's natural (no artificial pistachio flavor). It's definitely not a bad cookie though. The crushed pistachios on top make it so pretty! The turtle shortbread cookie looks really good as well. It has chocolate frosting topped with pecans and caramel drizzle. The cookies are a must have for an affordable price of $2.50. Because they are so pretty I really hope they come out with gift sets with 3 cookies in little gift boxes so we can give them as gifts. It would also be cool to have a discount on buying multiple, like 6 for $12. Austin's Coffee Crafters is a hidden gem in Ripon! I recommend this place to everyone. NOTE: You must ask for their loyalty stamp card. We didnt know about it on our first 2 visits. We asked them on our 3rd visit (because I saw a post on Instagram about it) and they gave us a stamp for that visit but when we told them about our previous 2 visits (we had 3 drinks on those visits), she hesitantly gave us 1 stamp (we should have gotten 3). Obviously we aren't holding it against them, but it sucks we were shorted 2 stamps. We would have had all of our stamps if we had been told about the loyalty card on our first visit. When my family went they weren't told about the loyalty card either so they should have got 3 stamps as well. If they fix this for us, I will edit the review to show that. read more

Austin’s Coffee Crafters - Turkey sandwich on homemade bread with their own herb lemon mayo and real cheddar. Delicious but overpriced at $9. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ripon, California

My mother and I stopped for a coffee break while out running errands, and I was not let down! The staff is very friendly, holding the door open for us and everyone wearing their masks! The seating inside is blocked (good on them!), but the seating outside is open. Reminder: Take out is still the best option though during the pandemic if you're eating out. I ordered the Matcha Lemonade and it was surprisingly delicious! I love matcha and most of the time am kinda let down when it comes to the Central Valley (sorry guys!) but this was really good! Rich green and definitely has the earth taste I love in matcha My mother said her ice coffee was very good! She got almond milk in her's and says it had good caffeine, which is a huge plus for her. They have other very accommodating choices if you're vegan or lactose intolerant as well! read more

Our favorite coffee place in the valley! We're always looking for new coffee places and was so happy when we found Austin's. We live in Lathrop and are surrounded by Starbucks (internal scream) Austin's is great if your trying to get away of the Frappuccino, and high sugared drinks. And they have a drive-thru! read more

Very cute and in a fairly new plaza in Ripon. It is a welcoming, friendly and clean environment. Nice and cozy inside and a lot of space outside. Will come back again because my latte and biscotti was delish!!!! read more

Great coffee and great atmosphere. The coffee drinks are made to order. The restaurant is clean and staff is friendly.

My mom lives close to the coffee shop so we stopped here one morning while visiting. Very cozy kind of farm house style decor!! They make their pastries in house and you can tell they are made with love!! My bf and I shared the breakfast sandwich. It comes on a bagel with egg and either ham or bacon. One of the best breakfast sandwiches ever!!! Service is wonderful, very friendly!! Will definitely be back next time I am in town!! read more

I first came here with my mom group a couple months ago and now I try to go at least twice a month. We travel from Lathrop. The bagel breakfast sandwiches are amazing and the lemon mayo spread on every day sandwiches is mouthwatering. I love their coffees. I've tried them all can't wait to come back and try other ice cold drinks. You're doing an amazing thing!! Thank you Austin's Coffee Crafters!! RIH Austin!! read more

The cutest little school-themed coffee shop ever! I love everything about this place. The coffee is top quality and the food is delicious! I'm so not a vegetarian, but their Farmer's Vegetarian sandwich is my favorite. Be sure to ask about their seasonal items too - they have some lavender menu items for Spring right now. The baristas here are amazing. They always have positive attitudes and high energy. They also keep the place super clean, including their bar/workstations - I love to see it! I really enjoy coming here to work on days that I don't go into the office. There is plenty of seating at their spacious wooden tables as well as the bar area. I appreciate that almost every seat has access to a power outlet and there is free high-speed wi-fi. It never gets super noisy in here so it's really the perfect place to focus! read more

Really great coffee! I have not tried the food or other items yet but greatly enjoyed the cappuccino this morning. Recently moved to the area and was looking for really good coffee (expresso style). I found it and I'll be back. read more

We were so excited to try a new place here in Ripon! We walked to the coffee shop since we live so close. All I have to say is we came and we tried. It was not memorable... I know it's a "coffee shop" but There are 4 options for espresso drinks... so I'm like ok no problem I'll get ice coffee, asked for coconut milk, they don't carry it only almond milk and oat milk (didn't know that was a thing) no problem had almond milk, asked for hazelnut syrup (thought that was a standard or common flavor) nope it is not... they have 2... vanilla and Carmel.... I know this is a personal opinion but those taste the same, just one a little sweeter. No seasonal inspiration drinks. We tried the bagel breakfast sandwich (9.00 each by the way) and it was a basic breakfast sandwich.... not worth 9.00 each the breakfast sandwich from Starbucks is better. (Of course my opinion) for 9.00 i expect a more gourmet cheese other than a slice of american... The blueberry scone was good, I would minus the frosting on top. The fruit already makes it sweet. Adding frosting makes the scone to sweet and more of a cake. All and all, we tried it. It's to expensive to eat for a family. Our total for 2 kids chocolate milk, ice coffee, a scone and 2 breakfast sandwich's was almost 40.00. (We could have went to a breakfast restaurant for that price) read more

Love this place! The bagel sandwiches are great! The coffee is fantastic too! Above and beyond that the service is always good and everyone is always so friendly. I highly recommend. read more

I got the first coffee on their list, and I forgot the name, but it has a homemade hazelnut cream in it in addition to milk. I asked for almond, and the drink was amazing! Definitely pick this one if you like sweet coffee. I have been to so many coffee houses within this area all the way to the bay and I will have to say that Austin's is officially my new favorite. The staff was super kind, and I loved connecting with them. The inside was trendy and had a cool aesthetic. It is the perfect place to chat with friends or just work and study. Definitely coming back every chance I get. read more

Service was slow.I had to ask several times for my drinks. I understand they are still training staff but some things are common sense. Our drink ticket was not even printed. The reason why I will pass on Austins "over priced." We spend $40 for two adult coffees, hot chocolate and a Trouble Maker. We also had two pastries. My 2 yr. old said "yucky"when I gave him his drink & my 5 yr. old refused to drink her Trouble Maker. I wouldn't mind spending the $ if my kids loved the food. Unfortunately this wasn't the case. Thank you but no thank you. It's not worth $40! I was so exited but it's definitely not a hit for me! read more

First time coming to Austin's, heard about it from the grapevine. I live in the Modesto area, so just wanted to clarify for all the Modesto people that the drive wasn't bad. The drive was worth it! Austin's is pretty easy to find, relatively right off the highway. My favorite part is they have a drive-through. Not all coffee shops have drive-throughs. I ordered a small Ripon Fog and their sausage soup. The tea was great if you're a tea drinker. If not, I recommend the Troublemaker, that's what my sister got. Lastly, my second favorite part were the croutons for the soup. Delicious, crunchy, extra zing for the already flavorful soup, the croutons were great. read more

Super cute cafe! Clean, modern industrial feel yet welcoming and cozy. Loved the lavender lemonade, vanilla latte, bagel, yogurt and brookie. Stopped by with my son after school and he enjoyed playing with the dollhouse, blocks and other toys they have available for the kiddos. Was quiet enough for me to do some reading while he played. Ended up staying there almost 2 hours! Will definitely be going back. :) read more

Best coffee shop in the area. Very friendly staff. Great coffee. Blueberry scones are to die for.

Great coffee, very good sandwiches and pastries, clean tables. Service is friendly but very VERY s l o w. If you're willing to wait 25 minutes for a good cup of coffee and a tasty pastry then this place is for you. If you're used to waiting 3-5 minutes then this place is definitely not for you. read more

A serious gem. The thoughtful attention to detail is what makes this place great. Alexus and company have created a true neighborhood coffee shop that's worth visiting each day. I can't say enough good things about the place, people and their coffees and treats. 5-plus stars all the way. read more

Cute little coffee shop and staff are really friendly. Would say there's not very many options though for drinks (even fewer for non coffee drinkers) and food. Pricey. I got two sandwiches nothing else and it came to over $19. With so many other coffee places in town with better prices this would not be my first pick. read more

This place is super aesthetically pleasing. Coffee is great! Seems like they know a thing or two about dialing in. My best friend worked in the bakery for a minute and told me about the pastries made in house and fresh. Loved the experience, fair price and friendly service. read more

I used their drive thru because there was only 1 car so it was quick. Ordered their latte and it was decent.
