    Half eaten breakfast Sando.
    Kevin I.

    Simply the best local coffee brunch place in Taylor. So welcoming. So fresh. The best coffee and simple plates make a difference.

    The Humpty Dumpti vegetarian style with a latte 1/2 caf. They are always so nice and food is great!

    Great breakfast food and service! They are always nice about making my food vegetarian!

    Hip, groovy, whimsical and overall good vibes are all words that come to mind when I stepped into Ripple & Rose Cafe! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a warm friendly hello. This spot is such a little hidden gem in downtown Taylor right off the main road, with amazing smoothie and coffee options. My smoothie was absolutely delicious - I would highly, highly recommend! Looking forward to my next visit!

    Great drinks (especially the Yin & Yang if you're into black sesame). Yummy food, we got the Humpty Dumpty omelette and Breakfast Sando. Service was nice and checked up on us as we sat outside. Very small inside, but very fun with its decor. Has some of what looks to be like local/custom art.

    Remember when "Keep Austin Weird" meant fun, funky, and eclectic? Check this place out and find it's still alive and well in Taylor. Good coffee, and surprisingly good food (we eat keto and love their Humpty Dumpty!). A chill vibe and spot for locals and visitors alike. One of our favorites in Taylor!

    I think small city coffee shops are just as important as the heavy hitters in the big city. The quaint, quirky, and quiet spots are vital to smaller towns and bring artistry and culture to cities that need it. Ripple & Rose is exactly that for Taylor, an artsy but quiet town in the northern Austin area. You walk in and immediately understand the shop's energy. It's colorful, with purple walls and cartoon aesthetics featuring psychedelic homages to Mickey Mouse, The Simpsons, and Beavis and Butthead. Every piece of furniture is unique. No two chairs or tables are the same, but they feel expertly curated by the team. Each table has trinkets and knickknacks that match the shop's cartoon-loving spirit. I ordered a lavender latte, and it came served with a little smile in the mug, an extra touch that brought so much joy to me and showed just that extra flavor of love from the barista. The coffee was good, but the real standout was the conversation and energy the atmosphere encouraged. It's exactly what you hope for from a small city coffee shop. Downtown districts need places like this, no matter the population.

    This place is amazing. I got a smoothie and tacos. I already forgot the name of the tacos but they were braised chicken with pickled veggies and micro greens. Chef(possible owner) Jessie came out and chatted for a little. It was a great experience. Highly recommend, especially if you're looking for a "divey" coffee bar. Can't wait to come back.

    This location is a quaint little gem in the beautiful town of Taylor. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by a Kaleidoscope of vivid, beautiful colors, and unique pieces of artwork. The staff is incredibly friendly if you have any questions about the menu. I forgot the exact name of the latte they made me, but I believe it had white chocolate. I had mine made as a breve, and it was really delicious. My husband had a beet smoothie and it tasted really fresh. We really liked that it tasted like real beets were used without it overpowering everything else. We will definitely be back for more treats in the future!

    Want a fun Instagram-able coffee place without having to drive into Austin, this is the place. There is so much to look at in here! Extremely friendly service and some unique flavor options with locally roasted beans! The menu changes frequently, keeping fresh and seasonal options. The owners genuinely want to hear your feedback and want you to feel part of this community. I ordered the Breakfast Sando which was a Ham, Cheese, and Egg Croissant along with a Miso Happy (Miso Honey syrup and oak milk). My friend got the Enzo Sando and a hibiscus drink here as well that was delicious. They have cups and a water dispenser for you to help yourself. They have a large, clean, single stall bathroom in the back behind the counter that is also painted vividly. Across from the bathroom they have a bright community table/board where you can find out about other cool places or things to do in Taylor. Great location downtown in a beautiful old building with lots of street parking very close.

    As a birthday gift to self I went to my favorite coffee shop, Ripple & Rose Cafe, and enjoyed the drip coffee with cream and the Humpty Dumpty without ham. So good! I this little shop and hope others give it a try.

    Great experience the food is amazing, the owners are friendly they always greet us every time we come. The hospitality they provide is very welcoming to us 10/10 experience I would definitely recommend stopping by.

    Ripple & Rose feels like a little slice of Austin tucked away in Taylor. We tried the caramel vanilla latte, maple brown sugar latte, and Taco Break--each one better than the last. The tacos, made with HEB butter tortillas, were a standout--like a fluffy omelette wrapped in a tortilla, with pickled onions tying it all together. Even the space is special, from the hand-painted bathroom to the colorful, mismatched furniture. I also really appreciated that even though it's a single-stall restroom, it still has a changing table--something I've been noticing a lot of places don't include anymore. With games and coloring books for families, it's a spot we'll definitely be back to!!

    I'd previously visited the Round Rock restaurant (Delizioso) of the same ownership, and been…read moreimpressed by their innovative style. That style (but obviously not the name) continued with their move to Taylor. The place features quality, flavorful food simply presented. The printed menu regularly changes, and there are frequent appetizing (and sometimes mouthwatering) posts to their Facebook page. I wish I lived closer by, as I'm thinking my husband and I would become regulars. The eating area at Main Street includes 7 tables, with a total capacity of around 20 people. The parking area in the strip center is somewhat limited. My husband ordered an egg salad BLT and chips, and I had a corned beef sandwich. Each came with a pickle spear and a side. I loved my corned beef, and the potato salad was excellent. The portion size was adequate for the price. My husband was lukewarm on his sandwich choice. We had ice water to drink, at an additional, but IMO unwarranted, charge of 25 cents apiece given we each ordered a meal. Yes, we'd return... as it seems like there will always be something new and good to try. I'd suggest watching their Facebook page to get ideas of what they're serving.

The fried green tomatoes are great here but for me, almost everything else was a disappointment. Not as kid-friendly as you'd expect. It pains me to leave such a low rating (and I rarely do) but this was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've had in a while. And it didn't have to be that way so hopefully my review can grab someone's attention. This place has so much potential because it's in such a cool location -- the band hall of an old high school (fun decor and cool nostalgic vibes). I had really high hopes for this restaurant but it let me down. Here's what went wrong. THE FOOD: First and foremost, the food was disappointing... except for their vegetable appetizers. The fried green tomatoes were fantastic. Nailed it in terms of texture and flavor. My husband and I were both surprised by how good they were. Their Brussels sprouts appetizer was really good as well. After that, it was all downhill. I had the Mom's Meatloaf with two sides: Cowboy Caviar and green beans. The meatloaf wasn't bad but it wasn't exactly a loaf -- it was like meatballs connected together? I didn't taste the bacon in the tomato sauce and the portion felt tiny -- same size as the sides. The sides were a real letdown. The green beans tasted like they came straight from a Jolly Green Giant can. The Cowboy Caviar (which I usually love) was so bland. It was like they just poured beans and corn and pepper and onion in and that's it. I didn't taste any seasoning. Cowboy Caviar needs to have that zing (many simple recipes use Italian salad dressing). Moving onto my husband's dish which was probably the worst part. His tomato soup tasted like marinara sauce but we were hoping the filet mignon would deliver. It was simply not good. It wasn't as tender as filet mignon needs to be -- it was chewy. It did seem to be cooked as requested (medium rare) but it didn't taste good and seemed flavorless -- almost as if the meat was poor quality. Now, I know that filet mignon is a much more mild tasting cut and less flavorful than a ribeye for instance, but still, something felt very off with this steak. Neither of us enjoyed it and that's a bummer (especially at that price point). KIDS: Usually restaurants like this one are more kid-friendly so I was a bit surprised. Our kids are 3.5YO and 2YO. They brought a booster for my youngest. It had no straps at all (which I'm not even complaining about because those straps are broken at literally every restaurant). We were in a booth so it worked okay mostly. What I'm unhappy about is the lack of coloring options and kids menus. We were not brought any crayons and coloring paper upon seating so we inquired. The waitress said she'd look and ended up coming back with crayons and some paper placemats to doodle on? I respect the ingenuity but I was confused. They have crayons on hand but they don't offer them to the kids? What's the deal with that? They didn't have a kids menu printed anywhere and the waitress just told us the offerings out loud. So is there an official kids menu or not? I'd like to be able to see the prices as well. Also a bit perplexing. We went ahead and ordered one grilled cheese for the kids to share and I'm glad because it was big but also not very good. The bread was too dense so it was more of a bread sandwich. My kids weren't that into it. Almost forgot -- the fries that came with the grilled cheese were actually very good (got to give credit where it's due). TIME: Our food took forever. It wasn't a fun wait -- the kids were getting super restless. The waitress stopped by a couple times to tell us that "our food is just around the corner." Even though it ended up being untrue -- I appreciate her checking in.

There's quite a bit of seating inside their main space, but also additional seating in the lobby of the attached building. I came with a large group after a morning run, and we made the one barista working put in work. He knocked all of our orders out though! I honestly really appreciate him being patient with all of us full of energy after our morning workout. I ordered a hot latte with their Miso Maple syrup and oat milk. It was fantastic and really well balanced. Their house-made miso maple syrup added a sweet and savory flavor profile to the well-crafted drink. Not only do they serve coffee, but they also offer fantastic pastries from Baked n' Sconed from Hutto and breakfast bites from Kerlaches, which I indulged in, their Sausage and Jalapeño Cheddar kolache, which smacked like nothing else.
