Ripe

A buzzing cafe in Sassafras along the scenic route of Victoria's Dandenong Ranges, Ripe is a cosy eatery adorned with broad wooden decking, a fireplace in the corner and shelves of quality local produce. Amidst a relaxed atmosphere, Ripe's friendly staff serve up a deli style range of gourmet baguettes, hot coffees and cakes, as well as a restaurant selection of breakfast and lunch options. French toast with fresh local berries is a favourite at Ripe, along with the crunchy gourmet baguette filled with brie, prosciutto and quince paste. Ripe is a bustling venue, particularly on weekends so get in early and enjoy a coffee in the sunshine while indulging in treats such as lemon tart or apple and rhubarb crumble.
