Ripe The Organic Grocer

In 2003 my Partner was diagnosed with terminal cancer and as a result we did the Gerson Therapy to help restore his health. This required many kilos of carrots and green vegetables which I ordered from Paul, the owner of Ripe Organics, twice a week. He was the most helpful person I have ever come across in retail. Paul placed special orders for me twice a week for seven months and as I lived in Essendon at the time he even let me pick up the greens and carrots from his home which was not too far away from where I lived at the time. Nothing was ever a problem and I am so happy to see that he still has two very busy and successful businesses at Prahran Market, twenty years later. His produce is excellent quality and back then there were no organic shops near where I lived, so he helped me through the most stressful time in my life.

Cannot express my gratitude towards the team at Ripe Organic Grocers. Thanking you all for your services, warmth and professionalism.

Fantastic produce!

Seriously the best produce in East Melbourne (and probaby all of Melb, let's be real). I've been to many organic fruit shops this side of the city, but always keep coming back to Ripe. The fruit here is the best quality and most outstanding flavours EVERY TIME. Also the fact that everything is grown here in Aus & is certified organic is just so perfect. Not to mention the excellent customer service. I ❤ you Ripe!

Good range of fresh organic fruit & veggies, as well as other organic products. The Moondara berries are lovely, frozen if fresh ones aren't available

Great service.
I came here last Sunday looking for soy protein to make vegan bolognese. I asked a sales clerk if they had it. He walked to the isle where it usually is. It wasn't there and spent a good 5 mins to confirm if they had anymore in stock. They didn't but the fact he gave me the time was very much appreciated. Thank you

Literally the best
Amazing friendly staff, great fresh produce and fair prices given the quality, taste and freshness

Love this shop. Great selection of fresh organic fruits and vegetables. Super freandly staff. Also, they selling Zeally Bay bread!

Love this place. Good selection of fresh vegetables and also has other organic groceries. Have been a regular here for several years.

Paul was so so helpful. Amazing customer service!

Beautiful quality of organic fresh food with affordable price.

Love the service and products from you, guys 😊

Friendly staff, good selection of gluten free ingredients and products. Seem very ethical in their practices and the suppliers they choose to stock.

Nice place, brought close to a pallet of stock off me some days, let me deliver early

Good quality food I am the most regular customer buy all kinds of food there 2 times a week, but break my heart 💔 because one day I was answering my phone when I paying the bill, the lady refused give me receipt and yelled you should’ve on phone. I was shocked 😨 ( I was about to let friend to come purchase in this shop I definitely need to answer the phone, she is looking for me) don’t feel confident back to there

Indifferent, miserable & rude staff. Expert at making one feel uneasy.
No concept of basic manners or even feigned politeness.
They take your money like you're giving them poison.
Very disappointing.

The most overpriced store in Prahran Market. Shopped there for years until I discovered the Prahran convenience store opposite the market entrance. On average, product for product, Ripe is around 25% more expensive!
