Ripples Coffee Experience

The Ripples Coffee Experience

location_on Minneapolis • St. Paul • Twin Cities

Yes, this is that coffee printer you saw on Instagram. And yes, we do it better.

We were the first to bring Ripples foam printing to Minnesota events. Everyone else? Just trying to catch up.

If you’re planning an event in Minneapolis, St. Paul, or anywhere in the Twin Cities, this is the upgrade you didn’t know you needed.

Logos, Faces, Even Your Dog — On a Latte

Ripples printing turns your latte into a branded moment, a wedding keepsake, or a viral selfie magnet — printed in real time, right on the foam.

QR codes on the cart let guests snap a pic, upload it, and get it printed on their drink. Or skip the tech and let us preload your logo, initials, or tagline. Either way, we’ve got the visuals covered.

We use real, plant-based colors — reds, purples, even yellow — from ingredients like black carrot and cabbage. No fake dyes. No weird aftertaste. Just bold designs and espresso that hits.

Why It Works

Still Debating It?

We’re not a kiosk with a latte machine — we’re a full café setup with a built-in crowd pleaser. We roll in ready to crush a 200-person rush and still have time to print your dog’s face on a cappuccino.

Licensed, insured, and fully loaded. We print it right, or we don’t print at all.
