Little Ripper Coffee

Inspired by the vibrant café culture of Australia, this neighborhood staple set out to bring a taste of Down Under to Northeast LA. Their mission has always been to create a welcoming community hub that celebrates good coffee, simple food, and genuine hospitality. Over the years, they’ve become a favorite for both locals and visitors, known for their creative takes on classic café fare. The ongoing commitment to quality and inclusivity continues to shape the space as a gathering point for Glassell Park.

Baristas here are well-versed in the art of Australian-style espresso, pulling consistently smooth flat whites and lattes with silky microfoam. The coffee menu highlights single-origin beans and offers a strong, balanced cup whether you opt for a pour-over or a classic flat white. Specialty drinks like the Golden Latte (with turmeric) or a well-crafted iced long black showcase both skill and creativity. Food is served on beautiful ceramics, with seating ranging from cozy indoor nooks to a sun-dappled patio. The experience is rounded out by attentive, knowledgeable service and a menu that elevates simple ingredients.
