Ripple Cafe

Ripple was founded by Elle Marie & James. The Ripple Café you know today blossomed from a pop up in the dining area of a Jamaican restaurant in Dorchester, MA in the summer of 2017. Elle was inspired by the show ‘Friends’, and dreamed of having a café since middle school. It wasn’t just the coffee that inspired her, although providing specialty, fair trade coffee was an important ethic from the beginning, it was also the atmosphere, the décor. It was the core essence of what made friends congregate in a café, to just…hang out. One of Ripple’s catch phrases, “Where Friends Meet”, pays homage to both the show that inspires her and the thing she loves most about Ripple.
