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.

I tried their Kouignettes, which were mini kouign amanns - they were flaky, sugary, but a little chewy; I bet that if you order them fresh and right from their bakery, it would have been so amazing!

Nice little coffee shop with a selection of baked goods and some sandwich offerings. Overall the place is neat and clean, although some of the furnishings are a bit worn looking. I was greeted promptly on entry and had nice brief chat with cashier. I ordered a Chai Tea and an Espresso-Toffee-Chocolate Chip Cookie. The beverage was pretty good and the cookie was excellent. There was an interesting set of items for sale in the dining area, which included Mystery Reads. These were books wrapped nicely with the genre on the wrapping, and some neat little "gifts" in the wrapping. Cool idea! The only downside of my experience was the number of flies. I had planned to stay and enjoy my Chai but I just couldn't due to the flies landing on me and my beverage cup. I'd recommend they do something to control flies as it's not conducive to a great guest experience.
