Coffee is good and nice smooth jazz in the background. We have also have had lunch, equally as good, nice sandwiches and soup. Very cute little cafe, RUN to Brian's.

Update! Update! Update!!!!!!…read more Well...I had the opportunity to double back and try this pastry shop and I am glad I did. Still a few kinks to work out but I was impressed by the presentation - there was a pie tasting...YUM!!! Staff was pleasant and welcoming. Brian was on hand to answer any questions. I also thought there was a good variety (including gluten free options). Nice addition to Chestertown!

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.

Nice boutique cafe with a galore of croissants, donuts, cookies with some seasonal/weekly specials…read more I've made my rounds through the menu and ate more pastries than I can count! The seasonal Donuts and the Croissant Tarts keep me coming back! Best Donuts - Pumpkin Pie Donut, Tiramisu Donut, Key Lime Pie, Boston Cream, and Hot Cocoa Nutella donut. The Strawberry and Raspberry have a Jelly/Jam filling. I wasn't a big fan of the Cookie Butter Donut, Cannoli donut, or the Dot Cake Donut, or S'mores donut. The Cookie Butter donut tasted like creamy peanut butter while the Cannoli donut that didn't have the sweet creamy filling that I was hoping for and the Funfetti frosting was a bit off on the Dot Cake Donut (super fun to see all the dot sprinkles on top!). I wish there was more marshmallow filling in the S'mores onut. Croissant Tarts - Both the sweet and savory tarts deliver! The Raspberry Cream Cheese Tart, Red Pepper Feta Tart, Apple Tart, and Everything Tart are all delicious! The classic Garlic Spinach Tart and Shroom Tart are fine. Best Croissants - Christmas Tree Raspberry Croissant, Hazelnut Chocolate Mousse Croissant, Apple Butter Crumble Croissant, Almond Croissant, and Matcha Croissant. The Berry Brioche Tart was fun to try, but not my favorite. The cookies are pretty light and fluffy, the Lemon Cheesecake Cookie tasted like a lemon sugar cookie with no filling. The Kitchen Sink cookie was an interesting blend of salty flavors (chips, pretzels, toffee). For Valentine's Day, the Linzer sugar cookie filled with raspberry jam was delicious! So glad I grabbed the last one by 11am on Saturday! For Mother's Day, there were colorful macaroons. All of the fillings with the donuts and croissants are whipped and pretty light. There's a parking garage next door and you can get parking validated for 1 hour. While there's plenty of seating inside, it can get packed over the weekends. There's no outdoor seating (there's some makeshift seating around the high-rise building). Great local bakery with a lot of baked goodies to choose from!

I grabbed their honey oat latte, brioche bun, and pistachio cinnamon roll. The brioche bun was out favorite. Staff were kind and patient enough to give me some recs as a first time customer.

To be frank I am not normally a fan of cheesecake. I purchased one from this bakery because a…read morecoworker who was leaving loves it, especially ones with mixed fruits like at Pâtisserie Poupon. When I tell you this cheesecake turned me into a cheesecake lover I'm not exaggerating! It's sweet, creamy and the fruit pairs really nicely. Online ordering was convenient, my things were ready on time for pick up and parking nearby was a breeze for me. I will definitely be coming here anytime I'm looking for cheesecake for an event or even a single serve now that I know how good it can be!

I've gotten pain au chocolat, regular croissant, apple turnover, fruit tart, and more. Their croissants are my favorite--flaky but not too oily. The fruit tart could be a smidge sweeter. I've gone twice and the workers here were nice both times! Metered street parking in the area.

As for the drinks, the Iced coffee was not good and the Korean Ice Milk Coffee was also not good. Both drinks were extremely watered down and didn't taste right like other locations. The breads were decent. Nothing much to say as this is standard. I ordered a slice of cake and it was beyond sweet and dry. I'm not sure if I received day old cake but it was a waste of money. Would not recommend coming here unless you really need a quick bite.

I arrived about 20 mins to closing and staff was welcoming and willing to take my order. The space is intimate, clean and cozy. Beautiful lighting with easy listening music. They also offer outdoor seating and there is ample parking. The ladies at the cashier and cook were so helpful and helped me choose the meal and I went with the Chorizo Jack Wrap and I added scrambled eggs. The ingredients were fresh, seasoned so well and balanced. My wrap was filling and I was so happy with my food. I ended my meal with a chocolate chip cookie which was so moist and perfect way to finish my meal.

Service was great, friendly staff. Rating would have been perfect but me and my friend bought the same avocado toast and it definitely wasn't even! One (in the pic) has a thin spread of avocado and just the right amount of bacon maybe. The other (wasn't able to get a pic) has maybe lumps or 2 scoops so thick avocado and double the bacon topping. I suggest consistency in serving. Cafe is small but there are quite a number of seats, not for big groups. Also, doesn't matter how you enter but cafe has 2 doors, use the left door and that'll lead you right up to the counter where you order. Went on a sunny 60-70f ish day and al fresco dining perfect! It might have been a little busy that day, the bin was overflowing. Overall, well-maintained and might be back again soon!
