What you can order

Include vegetarian

4 vegan options, 6 to ask about19 vegan and vegetarian options

Greek Salad
Mixed greens, red onion, cucumber, tomato and olives in a house-made herb vinaigrette, topped with feta. Sold as a small or a large.
Needs a change
Ask them to hold the feta. The herb vinaigrette is made in house and is not described, so ask whether it contains dairy or honey.

Ripe House Salad
Mixed greens, red onion, dried cranberries and apricots in a house-made balsamic vinaigrette, topped with feta. It is also the default side salad with the sandwiches and burgers.
Needs a change
Ask them to hold the feta, including when it arrives as the side with something else. As with the Greek salad, the vinaigrette is house-made and undescribed.

Chip & Dip
House-made roasted garlic hummus with sumac, herb oil, roasted chickpeas and pita. The only appetizer on the menu with no meat, fish or cheese in its description.
Worth askingThe menu does not explicitly mark this dish as vegan, and I haven't asked the restaurant directly yet. Verify before ordering, and let me know.

Artichoke, tomato, green chile and five cheeses.

Black Bean Burger
A house-made patty of black beans, quinoa, pecans, oats, carrots and cilantro on a wheat bun with lettuce, tomato, marinated onions and chipotle mayo. It comes with a side.
Needs a change
Ask them to hold the chipotle mayo, which is the only animal product named in the description, and pick the fries or the chips over the salad, which arrives with feta. The patty and the bun are not labeled, so ask what binds the patty if that matters.

Veggie Pesto Omelet
Mushroom, spinach, tomato, goat cheese and pesto. Served with fruit.
VegetarianBreakfast · Brunch · Lunch
Lemon Basil Ravioli
Three-cheese ravioli with asparagus, spinach and a lemon basil cream sauce, topped with goat cheese and a sweet almond crumble. The one meat-free entrée on the dinner list.
VegetarianLunch · Dinner
Green Chilaquiles
Blue corn tortilla strips tossed in a house-made green chile sauce, topped with two easy eggs, crema, red onion and cotija. On the brunch menu, with chicken as a paid addition rather than a default.
VegetarianBrunch
Build Your Own Omelet or Scramble
An omelet or a scramble with a choice of bread and any three fillings from a list that runs from mushrooms, onion, spinach, artichoke, bell pepper, tomato and green chile through to bacon, chorizo and ham, plus four cheeses.
Needs a change
Choose your three from the vegetables and cheeses. The same list includes bacon, chorizo and ham, so say the three you want rather than asking for the usual.
VegetarianBreakfast · Brunch · Lunch
Classic Short Stack
Three buttermilk pancakes with a touch of whole wheat. The brunch menu serves the sweet dishes with a choice of bacon or sausage.
Needs a change
Ask them to leave off the bacon or sausage, which the menu attaches to every dish in its sweet section by default.
VegetarianBrunch

Sautéed Veggies
Broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, onions and zucchini. The menu hedges its own description, saying they are "typically sautéed in olive oil with a hint of garlic", so the cooking fat is worth confirming.

Additional info

Nothing on this menu is labeled
Ripe marks no dish vegan or vegetarian, and the kitchen is built around salmon, steak and chicken. Everything on this page is either a change I am suggesting or a dish whose published description simply happens to name no animal products. Treat it as a starting point for a conversation with the server, not as an answer.
The black bean burger is the reason to come
It is house-made from black beans, quinoa, pecans, oats, carrots and cilantro, which is a real patty rather than a bought-in one, and the only animal product in the description is the chipotle mayo. What binds it is not published, so that is the question to ask.
The side salad arrives with feta by default
Burgers and sandwiches come with a choice of side, and the house salad is topped with feta. If you are ordering the black bean burger without the mayo, say the same thing about the salad, or take the fries or the chips instead.
An older vegan dish is no longer on the menu
Roundups still mention a vegan coconut polenta with mushroom ragu at Ripe. It is not on the current published menu, so I have not recorded it. If a server offers it, that is new information worth sending me.
Brunch is a separate, unlinked menu
The Saturday and Sunday brunch card is published only as a PDF on Ripe's own site and is not in the online ordering menu at all. The quinoa bowl on it is the closest thing here to a vegan plate: drop the eggs and it is quinoa, tomato, black beans, onion, spinach, avocado and salsa.
