Welcome!
It all started with Harvest back in 2018.
What began as a small, focused venture quickly grew into a place where we honed our craft, learned what quality truly means, and built a community around the things we love to make. Harvest taught us discipline, detail, and the value of doing things properly.
But after a couple of years, that familiar itch arrived, the need to push further, to experiment, to create something bigger, louder, and unapologetically our own. We wanted to step outside the comfort zone and learn something new.
That’s where RIPSNORTER was born.
Ripsnorter is our wild side. Bold & energetic sister company. It’s where creativity meets chaos in the best way possible. Big flavors, big attitude, and a belief that if you’re going to make something, make it hit hard. Ripsnorter stands for breaking limits, surprising people, and having fun doing it.
From the roots of Harvest to the roar of Ripsnorter, it’s been one journey built on passion, growth, and the drive to keep creating something worth talking about.

Harvest Cafe & Bakery
Where good coffee, good food & good service meet. Coffee is our life! And after coffee comes food and why not serve it with pride! We were born in the hands of Michelin star chefs and ended our hospitality journey in Melbourne, Australia. Thanks to Francois Geurds, Jonnie & Thérèse Boer & the Mulberry group we earned our stripes to go on and fly solo.
At Harvest, our simple goal is to serve delicious coffee & food. We miss the days in Melbs where we could just step out of bed and go out for yummy breakfast and that perfect cup of coffee. Having both worked in the Melbourne hospitality scene where love really goes through the stomach, we decided to come back to the city we’ve met and share that unique Melbourne experience with the rest of Rotterdam.

Our bakery
We are always thinking about improving our little business. You know us, always trying to make everything in house and sourcing good produce. With this in mind we decided to open up our own bakery with freshly baked sourdoughs powered by Wildfarmed.
