What People Are Saying About Ritual Coffee Roasters
The Editor
Joanna Currier
Citysearch
In Short – The focus here is on fresh, organic and fair-trade coffee, with a short, superior menu of rich classics such as creamy espresso, cappuccino and cafe au lait. Carefully selected beans are French roasted and pressed for each labor-intensive cup. The giant, angular space has high ceilings, many small (and some communal) tables, thoughtful local art, and a short bar. A varied selection of pastries includes many fine vegan options.
what a bunch of hype!

ok, for anyone looking to have a digital-cafe romance, you've found the right spot. i mean, it's hard not to feel sexay in this place. but, if you want good coffee GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! i have tried a couple different things at this place to try and be fair but at the end of the day a good old cup o' joe is all i need. even dispite all the fancy bruhaha, they just can't make it taste good. it's sour and boring.
- Pros: cool place
- Cons: bad coffee
Place may be hot; Coffee is not
by aashna28
Upon reading the raving reviews in Citysearch, I drove to Ritual. The staff was friendly and helpful. However, the cappuccino and latte (for me and my friend) came out luke warm. When I mentioned this to the staff, they gave me another one (not free, mind you). But the second one was no better. I gave up and left.
My advise: please make sure that you insist and re-insist to get HOT coffee if that makes or breaks your experience. To some of us, the temperature of the beverage is critical - shouldn't it be?
- Pros: good tasting coffee, helpful staff
- Cons: temperature of coffee cold
Ruined me for other coffee shops

Coffees and Espresso amazing. The things that impress me the most are: huge selection of pastries are always fresh, baristas are truly passionate and knowledgeable about coffee, quality always of the utmost importance, roasting occurs right before your very eyes and they'll even explain the process to you. You can actually get a coffee education here! A discriminating bunch; for customers who truly appreciate coffee or for people who just like the scene. They are also socially responsible in every way you'd want a business to be.
- Pros: everything they sell and interesting people
- Cons: crowded
