OUR STORY
''What the hell is Ripsnorter?''
That’s what we hear all the time. The first time it kissed our ears we were living and working in the coffee capital of the world, Melbourne. In Aus when someone would think something is really awesome, they would say ‘this is a bloody ripper’ which comes from Ripsnorter.
We brought a little bit of Melbourne to the Netherlands by opening our first café, Harvest Cafe & Bakery, capturing the unique Melbourne experience and sharing it with Rotterdam. After several years of brewing coffee, roasting became the natural next step in our journey, and that’s when Ripsnorter was born.
Working together with coffee farmers from all around the world is a privilege for us. By actively pursuing better and keeping it simple we try to improve the lives of our coffee growers but also to protect our culture, and are fully focussed on creating a memorable experience by sparking a connection between you and the other side of the world.
We have now opened our Ripsnorter Espresso Bar, where we serve some of our favorite coffees that we roast, ranging from competition-quality brews to easy, everyday options. Each cup reflects our passion for coffee and our commitment to quality, ensuring a delightful experience for all coffee lovers.
