Ripka’s Market

Had a great lunch at Ripka’s today, try it out!!! Chicken cutlet sandwich was delicious!
Looking for a website for catering!

Everything I’ve tried from Ripka’s has been fantastic… from a sit down lunch to take out prepared foods, raw meats, baked goods and even some (semi) local goat cheese and honey have been really wonderful!
I’m so happy that the vision to bring a Market like this to Bridgeport exists. I work in Shelton and it’s a quick jump off Route 8 South to pop in and then be on my way.
Thanks Ripka’s!

Bad service this week (9÷15÷13). The deli counter should have, oh I dunno, deli tickets so you have a place in queue? I left after several minutes of waiting to at least be acknowledged by the deli staff. If you’re not going to have a deli counter ticket system (which seems insane) then at least give me come confidence that you’ll know who’s next in queue.
Despite a direct PM to them very early in their opening in which I complained about the lack of service oriented cashiers, the cashiers remain uninterested at best, and dismissive at worst.
Several people from my office continue to frequent this place and are very impressed with their food. I’ve left more often then I’ve stayed, but have found their groceries and deli food to be fairly decent when I have had time to wait around to get an actual order in.
And then there’s the café. Great idea! But? The café needs to improve their communication with both the kitchen and patrons. The options to order either there in the deli at the deli is not very clear to patron. It also does not appear to be very clear to the staff. It’s lunch time. We don’t have time for you to sort this stuff out on the fly.
I’m going to continue to try to support this place because Bridgeport really needs it, but they also need to work harder on the customer experience. Most of us are going there to get lunch or to pick up grocery items at lunch time. I don’t think they understand their customers yet.
