I got a long black iced and a vanilla iced latte. The latte was mid it rlly tasted milky and the long black was good! The service was good but funny I asked to use my cups from home and they asked me if they were clean before I even pulled them out lmfao poor team must've had bad encounters. Fast service and cute vibes ! Had a vegemite toast here once too was 4/5 nothing special. read more

I fell in love today. This place is perfection. Stylish decor, comfortable seating, excellent food and stellar coffee. I just came back from a month in Australia and was looking for a spot in LA to get authentic Aussie coffee, and this place popped up in my search. It's everything you'd want and expect from a Melbourne-style breakfast spot, and I am here for it. Service was fast, coffee was hot and strong, and vibes were on point. I got the Good Morning Plate and a long black, and couldn't have been happier with my choices. They also host events so I signed up for their newsletter on their website. Can't wait to try the Thursday wine tasting! read more

Finally got to try breakfast at this place and I'm glad to say that I will be a frequent visitor! Little Ripper is a neighborhood joint on Verdugo that has both excellent coffee and a great breakfast menu that offers small and regular sized plates. The ambience in the cafe is absolutely charming; they play really soft and mellow music and the inside is both familiar and vintage at the same time. Alot of their interior design has references to Australia, although I am not too sure as to what the connection is. I had the good morning plate with a house drip coffee and both were great! You have to pay up front and then grab a seat wherever; they serve you the food once its ready. Everyone was really friendly, almost like I was being welcomed into the neighborhood. Will have to come back at night, as I have passed by yesterday and the patio looked cute and romantic. Definitely give this place a go when you get the chance! read more

4++ recently came into this place, looking for some caffeine and a light snack for a pretty long drive. Ordered one of their cappuccinos as well as one of the fresh donuts they had in the case. Both were really delicious. The vibe in the morning is pretty chill. There's only a few people inside. The folks behind the counter more friendly. We were in and out of there in five minutes, so it's really quick. read more

had the cutest brunch at Little Ripper with my mom and sister. This cozy neighborhood spot is an absolute gem. We sat down and the soppersata sandwiches were eyeing me behind the counter so I had to order one and it was fantastic . Our dishes came out and the spread looked amazing. The Turkish egg dish was spectacular. The herbed lebneh was brilliant. It had dill and terregon in it and the 7 minute eggs were so creamy. The Good morning plate was fantastic. The eggs were so fluffy, and the roasted tomatoes was genius. also their latte was so good I got one to go. Safe to say ill be back here very very soon! read more

Its tucked in a quiet neighborhood off the 2. There's street parking but signs say it's only for an hour. The place is cozy and great for reading/chatting. There's no wifi so I used mobile hotspot for a little bit to get some work done. The drinks were great and came out at a reasonable time. I wasn't super hungry and got a classic Jaffle which was nice and warm - nothing fancy which I appreciated. I liked the vibes with family and friends coming and going. Would love to come for cocktails and happy hour next time. read more

This is a super cute but very busy little spot for coffee, cocktails, breakfast and weekend dinner. It's tiny tiny, like a little Parisian neighborhood cafe and clearly the locals love it. We came for a flat white and some nosh after a weekend walk along the arroyo. I had the Turkish eggs which were delicious. I also had an aperol spritz. I'd like to come back for dinner sometime. It looks interesting. read more

While in the area I stopped by to get a cup of coffee. A cute little cafe serving food, drinks and coffee. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. I got a cold brew with milk. It tasted ok but I would like to try other drinks and their food. I'll be back soon to do that and update my review. Customers service was friendly. read more

Came here for brunch with some friends on a Saturday around 11am. The space had a cozy vibe inside, and the patio offered plenty of seating with a dog-friendly atmosphere. You order at the counter, and the staff brings your food and drinks right to your table. It did take a while for the food to come out, but we were enjoying the company, so it wasn't a huge deal. While the prices felt a bit on the higher side, the overall experience was pleasant. My breakfast sandwich was tasty, though I would've loved a side to go with it. Still, it was a great spot to catch up with friends and enjoy a slow weekend morning. read more

Order at the counter and sit yourself sort of place, but with cute, well-maintained interiors and outdoor seating. We sat at the bar which had some awkward bar stools (tightly fit and a little hard to move), but other than that, no complaints! I originally was disappointed when the dish I wanted, the Baby Bear's Porridge, was out of stock, so I ordered the egg avo sandwich. Eating it was good, yet standard. The eggs and brioche bun rocked. While I was eating, the chef came up and gave me a teeny bowl of the porridge on the house because he overheard I was sad to miss out on it!! It was so sweet and so, so, so delicious. When it's in stock, definitely swing for an order because I'll be thinking about those flavors for a while. Coffee hit the spot, and I saw the have natural wines for sale. I'll probably check out one of the vinyl dj events too, but all in all, breakfast was very nice! read more

Such great energy. Cozy, delicious dishes, friendly, cute patio, great wine and good vibes. My first time experience was a rainy evening. The warmth of being inside and having flavorful savory handpies with red wine was the comfort I needed and will always love about Little Ripper.

Had dinner here last night with the wife. I've lived in the neighborhood for 30 years and have watched many businesses come and go from this location. We badly needed a good restaurant in this neighborhood. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the restaurant is. We had the trout dip and chips, Caesar salad, and a tin of Portuguese mussels. Everything was very good. The "tin menu" is unique. It's served with focaccia, butter and pickled peppers. I washed it down with a couple glasses of wine. Service was great. Nice ambiance. We'll be back. read more

I stumbled on this place on a Sunday morning and I'm very thankful I have because just by looking, it was a full house on their outdoor patio and on the inside which either means they're popular or their food is really good! Service was spectacular; staff was very kind in explaining things and any recommendations on their food or snack of choice. I got their Egg N Avo Sanga and I'm not gonna lie, the food was so delicious I forgot to take a picture before eating haha. I asked if they had any sauces and I got their homemade hot sauce and it was perfect with the sandwich I got! I wanted some of their pastries but unfortunately they were all sold out but as a replacement, they recommended the Nutty Nana Jaffle. It was really good, it was a mix of Nutella and banana I believe, great snack to end off your meal. Everything was delicious and I'd come back again. (: read more

I am happy to have a front row seat in watching this place grow! From a small coffee shop to breakfast to lunch and dinner offerings, I am glad to see them grow. With pastries from the acclaimed SugarBloom across the street and Bubs bread it's a local place with local partnerships. And they have good coffee drinks to boot. I walk 2 miles in the hood and love ending up here for a latte. read more

Little Ripper - Latte and Chocolate Croissant! What could be better? - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A little pricey for the food for what it is. Breakfast is decent but nothing stands out. Good for an occasional meal, food wasn't bad. But for the price i think there are better options. Drinks: I had the Matcha lemonade and I liked it, it was very tart, not sure if it was on purpose or not but unless you prefer things very sour I would not recommend. My sister had the chai and thought it was bland. Food: I had the classic jaffle and it was okay, don't know what I was expecting but for $10 the Kraft singles were a little surprising. My sister got the nutty nana and enjoyed it. The staff is nice. Service can be a little slow. The café itself is very cute and nicely decorated. Street parking is pretty accessible as well. read more

Came for dinner... the autumn gnocchi was amazing, will go back just for that dish. Also the smoked trout with chips was 5/5.

Came to try this place out but it is always hard to find parking. It is a busy place as the indoor and outdoor seating was full when I arrived. The cashier was a helpful in answering any questions. After my order was placed I waited 10-15 minutes for 2 sandwiches. It is a bit pricey for a smaller sized sandwich. Nutty Nana Jaffle- 7/10 Needed a bit more banana as I had 2 bites with banana. The Nutella does over power the banana taste. Classic Jaffle add bacon- 7/10 Didn't realize until after that adding bacon was an additional $5. They did just place a piece of bacon which was halved for my sandwich. It was more like a grilled cheese with a shred of tomato and a 1/2 slice of bacon. The busboy would stare at my table every time he passed by which was a bit uncomfortable (about 5 times). He also made the remaining guests and myself feel rushed out. This started at 1:50pm, which their Sunday hours do say 3pm. He started to close the indoor seating, which included flipping the chairs onto the table. My table as well as another table felt rushed to eat and leave. We all left at 2:15pm, as we exited I did see that all the tables were still full on their patio. The early clean up is a bit discouraging for any new sales that could have happened in the last hour of business. For future it might be best to give the guests time to enjoy their food before you start flipping chairs and spraying cleaner. read more

Came for a networking event, and I will be back! Once I realized it was an Aussie space I ordered the flat white - did not disappoint!

Little Ripper is a cozy spot for breakfast and brunch. I took my Aussie friend here for his bday breakfast, so he could get fairy bread. Order at the counter and sit where you like. We were lucky to get the corner booth. The seating and decor is very warm and inviting. But it's a limited and simple menu. And our food took a really long time to come out though, and they weren't overly busy. We ordered what I think of as simple dishes...classic jaffles; basically toasted cheese and tomato paninis, and the fairy bread (white bread, buttered with sprinkles ‍...no flavour, per se) The latte and coffee were good. And the jaffles were fine, but waiting over 45 minutes for 2 toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches (which then proceed to burn your tongues) is a big part of why they don't get more stars from me. I'd actually give it 3.5, if half stars were an option, as 3 seems too few but 4 seems too many. I assume someone forgot to make them, or maybe the machine wasn't working, but would have been nice for someone to come and say why it is taking so long. A good place to get a coffee and pastry, and send a few work emails. Perhaps their dinner service is better? Cute spot, and if I lived in the immediate area, I'd perhaps go again. (And for any local Aussie that has a Vegemite hankering...you can add it to pretty much anything on the menu!) read more

My goodness, WoW! My mouth is still salivating. The Egg n avo sandwich was THE ABSOLUTE BEST. Eating it was pure bliss. So grateful I pulled over on my trip back home to eat here. It is a must! The service incredibly welcoming and kind! The ambiance felt like home. Seriously you can tell the love the own has put into every detail. If I lived by the would be a favorite and one I would bring my friends and family too! Plus the floral arrangements and plants in there was absolutely a masterpiece with beautiful decor. read more

I call this place my hidden little gem. I LOVE Little Ripper. Staff? All amazing. Ambiance? Always chill, good vibes here. Food? Love that avo toast. But that coffee? That coffee is the reason I keep going back. I get an iced vanilla oat milk latte every time, and every time it is consistently good. Not to sound dramatic but I literally take a sigh of relief after my first sip every single time. read more

Do not get the matcha.. it literally tasted like water. Super bland, and no taste. I got it with whole milk and didn't even taste the milk, let alone the matcha. Went on a Sunday around brunch and with one cashier at the stand and everyone asking about the menu, it took us about 15 mins to order since the line was long and then waited 30+ mins to get our food which was dreadful. The food is good, but nothing stands out. read more

Update your hours. Nothing worse than a business that disrespects its patrons. I showed up 920pm. Their Yelp page, Resy, Google and even door state they close at 10pm. I detour 20 min off my route to grab a cup of coffee. I enter the door business only to be greeted by two unapologetic employees who claim business changed hours two weeks ago. I requested coffee to go since their door is still open and they've caused an inconvenience but they didn't oblige. This business does not respect your time. read more

Little Ripper - On their own website - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I definitely loved the indoor space! Based on old photos it seems like they've definitely did some renovations. However, I'm not sure if I'm quite sold on their coffee. They didn't have a menu except for the simple menu hung up on the wall. So the worker explained in some detail the different in-house syrups that are made as they don't have traditional ones such as vanilla syrup. Unfortunately, my coffee tasted very bitter especially with the added orange peel. I don't prefer a citrusy flavor to my coffee and I probably wouldn't have ordered that and stuck with a regular latte. They also didn't have any food items available, and it was explained that they'd have a full working kitchen as of today. So maybe I'd go back to try some of their food items. read more

I took my friend here for her birthday and we went pretty early in the evening. Really cute and their wine was delish. A good place for an espresso after a meal somewhere else. Not sure if it gets busier later on but the only weird thing was it felt like I could hear everyone's conversation since the music was so low so it was a bit awkward haha read more
