Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I visited the Great North Road branch, paid my $9.50 for a smoothie. Smoothie is made, gets poured into a small takeaway cup (approx 250 ml), then the other half is offered out to whichever sales guy is walking past at the time and wants...to take it! Right in front of the paying customers, How rude! At least put the leftover in the fridge until the customer has gone...or do the right thing and give the customer what they paid for.More

Food very expensive but very good. They make a yummy hot chocolate. I really like their cinnamon brioche and a scone in the morning before work. All their food stuff is compostable, plates etc. Which I like lots. I get a shot of ginger syrup...in my hot chocolate which is yummy.More

The quality of this food to go place is outstanding! Good coffee too and efficiency service. It seems a little chaotic and messy service wise at times but these guys are all over it. It’s not cheap but well worth it... highly recommend!

Love the food here and they do fantastic salads, sides, coffee and sweets. The one disappointment is that all the plates and cutlery are disposable. I know they're compostable but it just seems Ike generating extra waste.

We just happened to walk by this place that had enough choices to satisfy anyone - even my wife. But the gal who served us deserved a special rating but I'm sorry that we did not get her name - she had left before we...finished eating.More

I love the whole set up here. Exactly like a deli you pick whatever you want and pay at the end. There’s a whole heap of variety. It’s not a fancy place, your food is Served on plastic plates but it’s fine. I enjoyed it....It can be a bit pricey tho.More

We have been coming practically daily for ages and Ripe never disappoints. We are huge fans of their salads of course, but also their mind blowing cinnamon buns and today we’ve discovered the tofu sandwich... oh no, yet another addiction!

Always busy, this café is a local favourite in Grey Lynn. The range of food is impressive and looked good. We had a coffee and a savoury scone, which became two scones after devouring and enjoying the first one so much. the only down side...was the coffee. It seemed a bit weak even though double shots were ordered. Also takeaway cups instead of cups and saucers seemed a bit wasteful. However, we shall be back soon to explore the menu further.More
