Great atmosphere. Lots of space! Bright and inviting. I got the White Mocha Cappuccino. It was really good!

Hands down the best coffee I have ever had in my life. The baristas are super nice and helpful. Vibe is great and nice tall ceiling and open area. I had the Natural processed Ethiopian and also some of their coffee with a jasmine flavor profile. This spot has taken the #1 coffee spot I have ever been to…and I have been to a lot. They have some coffees that are $150-200/lb. Top notch stuff. The flavor lingers on your palette and is just gorgeous and remarkable in flavor.

Great place to study on *most* days. Some people treat this as a quiet coffee shop to study and others treat it as a social hangout. Very loud and busy on Sundays, so I do not recommend studying here on that day. Coffee a little bit overpriced! Overall, I do enjoy this place and I live nearby so it is convenient!

Amazing coffee and great atmosphere. The high ceiling, minimalist style, soft K-Pop in the background, and deliciously smooth coffee create the best vibes. Please bring one to Montgomery!!Update: Ive been here several times. Every visit has been fantastic!! The Nutella and Joey drinks are my favorites.

The service is great and prompt. The quality of the drinks and food was good. We had the matcha latte, hot chocolate, and pour over. All drinks tasted great. The location is convenient, and the interior is not cramped! There’s room to sit and enjoy conversations without feeling like you’re trampling on others.

Bruh. I had to give 5 stars just to cancel out this trash 2.5 review...

This place is the best!!! We love our friends here. Best coffee in town!

The owner is wonderfully friendly, and his concept is to not only showcase his love of coffee, but also feature different food options that will expand your culinary horizons. The owner and his team strive for perfection with everything they make and to provide guests with meaningful experience.Their drinks are sublime! The chai latte spices and milk come together in harmony to make you believe that everything in the world can be good.Ristretto minimalistic atmosphere will make you feel as comfortable as you feel at home and help you focus on conversations or assignments.

Very nice hang out spot for coffee and friends! Got dinner interesting drinks to choose from outside of coffee. The coffee is great tho. Got cold brew. Very good and wish tried the Ross.. Ginger beer, espresso, and lime. Different but good.

The workers are very friendly and approachable. Their baked goods are made by them, probably everyday. Also, even though it is a newly built store, the place was very cleanly kept.

Great coffee and a place to study. They have a couple rooms off the main room so theres always space available.

Hands down, this is my favorite coffee shop in the Lee County area! Johan and the other baristas are consistent with my favorite order of White Chocolate Mocha, it’s always perfectly brewed. Very peaceful atmosphere as well.

Atmosphere here is more modern than cozy. Plenty of room for a group of friends to gather and hang out. We tried the mushroom coffee and really enjoyed it. Not your traditional Coffeehouse, but definitely worth a visit!

I used to be went there,Im fall in love this Cafe.Great coffee, and I interested in about friends menu.And then good moods.

Your doors are very confusing, I was unable to smoothly exit this establishment, due to its confusing architecture. If you too struggle with opening doors, I highly discourage going to this place. Otherwise, this is a great place. Nice plants. Ill give it a 2.5

Quality beans, nice pour overs, good steamed milk technique, fun flavors, and not too far from the interstate and tiger town.

Probably the best coffee shop Ive ever been to.

Open atmosphere, plenty of seating, study room and some of the best coffee in town! Highly recommend a ristretto!

Excellent service, love the chagaespresso drink.

Very good env and great coffee

Great atmosphere and great drinks!

Nice, simple, quiet coffeehouse. Very clean and modern. I enjoyed the coffee and environment very much. For a 16 oz white chocolate cinnamon coffee it was less than $5 with tax and after all, local. I would definitely go again.

Fantastic cold brew and and great atmosphere.

Clean, neat interior. The staff was really nice :)

Absolutely AMAZING! By far my favorite coffee shop in the area. First of all, the staff here is incredible. Johan and his crew genuinely care about every customer that walks through their doors and are always willing to put forth their best effort to please them. Not only that, but the entire staff is so passionate about coffee and make remarkable drinks that are bound to make you wanting more. The atmosphere of the place is like no other, in the best way possible! AND now theyre serving food, so all the more reason to go visit!

Johan, the owner, settles for nothing less than the standard of perfection. He and his small team of dedicated baristas strive not only to deliver the best experience to their customers, but also to make sure that every one of those experiences are meaningful.The coffee is delicious! The cappuccinos, especially, bring out the delightful sweetness of the espresso, and the latte variants are amazing as well. Also, the cold brew is oddly satisfying to watch, since its slowly brewed drop by drop on a Yama Tower.This place isnt your traditional coffee shop, and it isnt intended to be, but again, its amazing nonetheless!

Nice place

Definitely one of the best coffee shops in Auburn!! It is a little away from the popular areas but still an easy find and completely worth it. The staff is friendly, all of the drinks are delicious and I love that they offer some different options other than the sugary coffee drinks that can be found everywhere else. Their matcha is amazing and the bingsu (korean shaved ice) is such a delicious dessert!

My husband and I love ristretto. It’s the only kind of coffee that tastes delicious AND actually wakes me up without feeling jittery. I’m writing this review as I’m drinking my morning ristretto coffee!

Great place, good vibes!

Great Cappuccino!

After moving to Auburn I had given up finding a decent coffee place, and Ristretto completely surpassed my expectations. Its interior is clean (a rarity for Auburn coffee shops) and calming with lots of space and natural sun light. The coffee is phenomenal, well crafted with lots of flavor. I will absolutely go back and recommend to any and all!

Get the injeolmi bingsu!!!! It is amazing.

Amazing little coffee shop in Opelika/Auburn area! We’re from out of town and loved this stop. Best iced mocha ever and the staff was so nice. Great atmosphere perfect for studying or just chilling out. I would come here every day if I could!!

The nutella latte was amazing! Delicious and not too hot. I hope to get back there soon for another one!

LOVE this coffee shop. Not only was the coffee amazing, but the owner is very friendly and the environment is clean and lets in a lot of light. This place is great to get some studying and school work done, or to just go in and enjoy a nice cup of coffee. Definitely my new favorite place!

Great place to study with good coffee, tea, and café food. I hear theyve started doing brunch too, looking forward to it.

Absolutely amazing and by far the best in town, what really makes it special is Johan himself. He cares deeply for his customers and is willing to have a genuine conversation with them, as well as caring for their every need. His space is very versatile and suitable for people who love to hang out, to study hard, or to enjoy a cup of coffee with a friend or two.

A little more expensive than some other coffee shops but it has quiet study space upstairs (with views to below) and a private (windowless) meeting room off the main lower room with comfortable chairs for small group meetings. Currently you must each buy a coffee plus a baked item. In future they plan to charge a fee for the room, probably in March 2020.

Ristretto Lounge is absolutely one of the best places in Auburn to just sit and do some work. Between Johan’s friendly demeanor and passion for his work and the drinks he crafts, this coffee shop has become my favorite place to go and study everyday. Honestly, I can’t reiterate this enough, if you haven’t been to Ristretto Lounge, you should soon because you’re missing out.

Beautiful coffee shop!! Plenty of space and great environment!! Staff is so nice and the coffee is so good!!!

Amazing coffee, and even better service. The macarons are divine

Beautiful, well planned layout. First class owner. Great latte.

Johan is the greatest! He’s very welcoming & eager to tell you anything you ask about coffee or tea! Brand new building, very clean. Absolutely the best Dirty Chai Latte I’ve ever had! Thanks Johan!

Great coffee. Dudes that work there are really cool and has a nice cool vice

The BEST coffee shop and place to study!

We loved checking out this new coffee shop in Auburn! Delicious vanilla lattes, great open space, and helpful service. Will definitely be coming back and adding this to our list of favorites!

This is a great place to have a casual meeting! And the coffee is wonderful!

Best coffee in town!

Was good this time except had to wait 30 mins for my small mango bingso to come out.Other than that welcome to auburn opelika.

Great coffee and atmosphere. Wifi needs improvements but still 5 stars

Definitely the best coffee in Auburn. Great atmosphere and service.

Best coffee shop in Auburn-Opelika! Theres plenty of seating, a peaceful atmosphere, great playlists to get work done to, and delicious beverages. Johan makes the perfect green tea and his Americanos are seriously addicting. My new favorite spot.

Excellent coffee and fun atmosphere!

Got the Canadian fog. Perfection!

Great coffee, large open space, and perfectly nestled between Auburn and Opelika. The cold brew and the matcha are out of this world and the hours make Ristretto a great spot to come to all day.

Good place to have coffee with friends

Excellent friendly customer service, great atmosphere, and of course wonderful coffee.

Brew coffee was delicious.

Great atmosphere, friendly people, and fantastic coffee quality

Great tea, cookies, and atmosphere!!

Honestly a rip off. drip coffee costs $5. makes your pay for wifi and kicks you off of it after 2 hours

Friendly environment 🔸

Bad service

♥️♥️

Im satisfied with the red bean shaved ice-red bean ratio, but the red bean... is so sweet that I cant taste other flavors.Americano-drug level.Cappuccino - ok.🥯 - The level of bread sold at the mart.Its a good place to chat with friends.

Korean + American feeling

Kindness

Very cool
