Ripe Deli at Smales Farm is a deli and cafe at 72 Taharoto Road in Takapuna, on Auckland's North Shore. It is part of the Ripe Deli group, which started in 2001 on Richmond Road in Grey Lynn and has grown to several Auckland shops and a catering service.
The deli sells salads, gourmet sandwiches and wraps, home-baked slices, cakes and brioches, with marinated free-range chicken and salmon, vegan cakes and quiches. Freezers hold take-home meals, soups and puddings, and take-home dinners are served from 3 pm on Monday to Thursday. The business also offers catering, and it has published four cookbooks. Seating is outside the shop on shared tables, and the website describes an easy-going, family feel. Ripe Deli's Gather Eatery is also part of the group.
