Ritual Espresso Cafe - Wanaka

Super quick service, excellent coffee and FINALLY a place that does decent almond milk! Would have come back again if we'd been in Wanaka longer delicious coffee

Nice all day breakfast and lunch menu. The hot chocolate was spot on with a decent amount of foam. Pancakes were yum and friends eggs on toast were Cooked to perfection.

Really enjoyed this place. Three of us went for lunch, and were quite impressed with the selection of food they even had a gluten free+vegan option, which is normally quite hard to find in smaller places. All three meals were great, and filling. The large size shoestring fries were huge, and cooked perfectly. Service was great. Would really recommend.

When I visit a cafe just for coffee, I don 't usually write a review, unless it is unusually good or abominably bad. Several times I 've dropped into Ritual for coffee and a scone/muffin/cookie and on each occasion I 've come away with a warm feeling. The place has an X factor, an ambience partly but not only because of the friendly, attentive staff. The coffee is as good as it gets (in my opinion). The food is always fresh and tasty, even at 4pm.<br/ <br/ And another thing: as a long or short black drinker, I resent being expected to subsidise those who prefer flat whites, lattes, capuccinos and other milk based concoctions. Thankfully many (but not all) cafes seem to have moved away from a 'one price fits all ' policy and do charge a little less for the no milk selections. To Ritual 's great credit, they go further than most, charging only $3.00 for a short or long black but $4.50 for a flat white, latte etc. User pays, as it should be. Well done, Ritual Espresso!<br/ <br/ Even without the price differential, if I lived and worked in Wanaka I would be an every day customer. It just feels right.

I ordered a hot cappuccino, it doesn’t taste good as I expected as the taste of the coffee is too sour for me, no aroma. However, it has a rich foam with generous chocolate powder. Staff is friendly, helpful, and fast service. I may come back to try the food but not coffee
