    At the front door...

    The. Coffee is good; the smoking area IS AT THE FRONT DOOR. Talk about ambience, OMG. Disgusting... Employees smoke at the front door. Customers are greeted by an exit thru second hand smoke. Some people don't think. They must not need the business.

    A cozy coffee shop in the beautiful town of Saint Michael's MD. From standard iced coffee and lattes, to hand-crafted pour overs and French presses, coffee lovers will surely find something they enjoy. Not to mention the hot chocolate was amazing! Highly recommend.

    The coffee was delicious. So was the ice tea. And the super friendly service and the overall vibe means I will definitely be coming back. Great way to start the day!

    First thing, the people that work here are super awesome. Even though we were just passing through we felt like we were part of the community. Very rarely have I walked into a place and felt like I was part of it already. The coffee was also extremely good. I had the Donnie Darko and must say it was one of the smoothest dark roasts I have ever had. You can honestly taste the quality that comes from being roasted on location. I will be back I hope as I am hopefully getting into sailing and hope that it will bring me back to this gem of a coffee house.

    Came here with my girl friends while staying in the area and it quickly became our favorite place. Not only is the coffee the best I've ever had, the staff makes the experience. They are so efficient and friendly and you can tell they love what they are doing. We had a large group with a lot of orders and they made us feel so welcome. Could not recommend a place more, we are sad to be leaving!!

    Holy Christ, I needed a cuppa (I'm not from England but they don't have a trademark on it) one morning. Saw a bright blue sign as I was on walkabout (I'm not from Austria* either) that said BLUE HERON COFFEE. Now, I don't mess with Herons, one bit me when I was a boychik (you get the idea), but I do get down with the JitterJuice™ Walked in to the comfy establishment and was immediately hit with THAT SMELL...Oooh, that smell, can't you smell that smell! (Shouts to Skynard #RIPRVZ) The eye candy behind the stick was a solid reassurance that I walked into the correct place. Spotting the roaster was my second clue, Col. Mustard. I ask the questions; he answered the questions** AS for the goods, I like worm dirt and the EC behind the counter hooked me up with his darkest roast, Donny Darko. Holy Christ 2: Electric Morning Brew! This. Is. Why. I. Drink. Coffee. Perfect cup of Joe. The flavors were amazing. the freshness was incredible. Tears are starting to form as I write this just remembering the first drop as it hit my lips. It was like watching the movie Rudy for the 1st time...no joke. TL:DR Great place to enjoy a superb cup of coffee. *Please notice my amazing joke about Austria/Australia ** Please notice my amazing usage of the semi-colon.

    This was a cute coffee shop on the Eastern Shore. Why really stood out to me is the fact that the barista offered us samples before we decided on any coffee. I don't know if that is common, but I have never had that happen and it was a nice touch, in that I could find what I really wanted. The other cool thing is that everything here was locally sourced. I don't know if a lot of people are like me, but whenever I can find something local that I can't get somewhere else, that's an added 10 points. Should also mention that the coffee wasn't bad! (And the tea is home brewed as well if you are feeling that!)

    Denied entry when I walked in my service dog, which is illegal. Staff was incredibly rude, additionally coffee was terrible.

    Delicious iced and drip coffee. And super friendly barista. Pastries were good, but seemed like Costco purchases - not homemade.

    While exploring Easton on my way to St. Michaels, MD, I found myself with a very important problem…read more I wanted dessert. Not ice cream. Not candy. I wanted a proper baked good. A quick search pointed me toward Ruby's Cake Shoppe & Pastries, and after seeing it was one of the highest-rated bakeries in town, I figured the Universe had spoken. Off I went. Ruby's sits quietly in a little strip mall that would be easy to drive right past if you weren't specifically looking for it. Fortunately, I was looking for it because a day with a cupcake is almost always better than a day without one. When I walked inside, I had the bakery all to myself. As an overthinker who's capable of spending way too long deciding between desserts, this was tremendous news. Nobody behind me. No pressure. Just me staring lovingly into the bakery cases trying to convince myself I had enough self-control to leave with only one cupcake. Spoiler alert...I did not. Being the peanut butter enthusiast that I am, the Peanut Butter Banana cupcake immediately caught my eye. Banana and peanut butter is one of life's greatest combinations and this cupcake absolutely proved my point! The cupcake reminded me of a wonderfully moist slice of banana bread while the frosting was thick, rich and unapologetically peanut buttery. This thing was GOOD! Then Ruby herself came out to check on me. How cool is that?! We chatted for a few minutes and she told me her favorite cupcake is the Hummingbird. In fact, she laughed and admitted she usually eats three every time she makes them. Three?! Challenge accepted! Just kidding. Mostly. Naturally, I had to see what all the hype was about. And Ruby wasn't lying. The Hummingbird cupcake completely stole the show! It was incredibly sweet without being over the top, and the pineapple running through the cake made every bite bright and interesting. The cream cheese frosting was wonderfully sweet and paired perfectly with the cake. I honestly couldn't stop smiling while I ate it. At $3.75 each, both cupcakes felt like an absolute bargain. Ruby's also specializes in custom cakes for birthdays, weddings and celebrations, and after tasting these cupcakes, I can only imagine how incredible those cakes must be. Parking was plentiful right outside the shop, and while there are a few small tables inside if you'd like to enjoy your treats there, it seemed like most people were stopping in to grab dessert and head on their way. My advice? Don't just stop because you happen to be driving by. Make Ruby's the destination. I know I will! Anytime I'm within striking distance of Easton, there's an excellent chance you'll find me standing in front of the cupcake case once again pretending I'm only buying one.

    We needed a birthday cake for our Miko, Celebrating her 1st…read morebirthday. Ruby's was highly recommended by a friend. I spoke with Ruby herself and she guaranteed that it would be made to order , that she personally tastes all her beautiful desserts. We were not disappointed, it was fresh, ready on time and enjoyed by all. I should also mention, this was made for our puppy ~ dessert aren't just for humans
