Worth the drive from Elk Grove for some flaky buttery pastries !! They make probably one of my fav morning bun , I love how they topped it with orange sugar zest! Staff are always so welcoming and friendly !!Prices are affordable ! If you haven't stop by this local bakery in Lodi it's a local gem
Not much to say about this place again, except if you're thinking about trying this place out, stop thinking about and just go. Everything so far has been very good. Their pastries, their coffee, their pies and ricotta egg toast are all very good. They are usually pretty busy, but they make sure to move the line quickly. They have tables, so you can definitely sit and have a nice breakfast with people. But all in all, if you're thinking about checking this place out, just do it haha
Omg. This place has never failed me, everything is so yummy. They've expanded the inside to allow for more seating and it is lovely. The line however will steady be outside of the door. I'm just glad there's a small parking lot next door for easy access. I suggest trying any and everything here, even grab a bag of their coffee beans. Such an experience and well worth a visit.
The hype is justified at Ruby's! I've tried to come a couple of times but the line was too long and I couldn't wait. This morning I had no where to be so I headed in here to finally try their amazing looking pastries. Firstly, the service was great. The lady at the pastry counter got my order ready while I was in line so it was ready to go when I got to the register. Very efficient, and that's great because this little bakery seems to get really busy. I ordered two fig danishes and one ham and cheese croissant. The ham and cheese croissant was one of the best I've ever had. The lamination on the huge, buttery, savory pastry was so perfect and made for the best flakey and doughy crunch! and there was a thick stack of thin sliced ham and cheese in it also. In SF this croissant would easily be $12-$15. I'm saving one fig danish to share with my mom when she comes over later and I took the other one to my sister in law who was excited when she saw the gorgeous fresh figs on top. I'm sure it will be just as delicious as the croissant. I will 100% be back but sooner this time!
Upon entering the coffee shop, it was a very busy and crowded environment. The baristas welcomed us and we waited in line for a good 3-5 mins. We then got our orders taken by the baristas and they're honestly very social and outgoing with a great attitude. Our orders were taken quickly and our food and drinks were served in good timing as well. The chocolate croissant is delicious with the chocolate not being too sweet at all but rather bitter which blended well with the croissant breading. The coffee was very good, not too sweet and the coffee was well balanced with the creaminess as well. Could be a bit bigger in portion with these prices but I think it's still worth it. All in all, I give it 4 star rating.
Good bye.... Ruby Tuesday!! Sorry, first thing I think of. The next thing I think of are delectable, decadent, delights such almond/chocolate croissants, beautifully decorated cakes and danishes. The CC cookies are always worth getting even if it's to eat later on after dinner with a nice cold glass of milk. They offer tasty breakfast toasts/sands/pastries with eggs and bacon and avocado and other fancy type of breakfasts which may include chorizo and potatoes. I like!! They offer Insight Coffee and their vanilla lattes and mochas are really well made with the right froth and sweetness. It's a fast paced environment but never too busy for a "good morning" or "thanks for coming ," shout out. Plenty of parking in front or the back. Busy bustling atmosphere. Lots of eye candy behind the display glass and you can even see the bake staff doing their thing in the back creating magic! Check out Ruby's on Church. Preach!!
Absolutely one of the best cafes in California. A hidden gem in the Central Valley, located in downtown Lodi. The coffee is perfect, flavorful and creamy. The baked goods are a nice touch. You can't go wrong with a pick here. The sliced pizza & breads are great choice for brunch. I had a question about the pesto & the head chef came to answer my questions. That was very helpful & kind of them to take time to answer my questions. This is a happy, warm & sunny place, the ambiance is upbeat and relaxing.
Stopped by during the street fair and this place was packed! Thankfully the turnaround time for the tables was fairly quick and there's plenty of seating. The cappuccino was silky, smooth perfection! The iced latte was just another latte...nothing special. My strawberry danish was AMAZINGLY fresh and crispy. I swear I could eat layer by layer lol. Everyone behind the counter was working hard and they all were so pleasant. Overall this place is a 10/10...I can definitely see myself becoming a regular here.
Great coffee and bakery - Lodi local. Love the vibe - space is quite spacious and mellow. Sundays preferred. Staff is friendly but very busy!!
Hands down the Best bakery in Northern California! Great pastries and coffee! Must try the coffee cake and morning bun with orange zest. Also tried the croques monsieur and it was awesome.
Ruby's is located on Church street. Plenty of street parking or there is a lot across the way. When you walk in it's industrial vibes with wood furniture. It can get quite loud so I wouldn't come here to study, but it's more of a place to meet a friend or enjoy a vibrant atmosphere. The service can feel a little rushed so take a minute to look and decide before hoping in line. There was plenty of seating but a lot people took their items to go. One note: someone did bring out my danish because it was getting heated up but they have you clear your own table and put the dishes in a bin near the drink pick up area. The pastries are excellent. I opted for the chorizo and egg danish with a chocolate chip cookie on the side. The danish was flaky and the chorizo was so flavorful. They offered me a side of salsa that had a nice kick to it and paired well with the danish. The chocolate chip cookie was full of rich chocolate chunks and had a nice crisp around the edges but soft center. It's more flat and chewy which I like. I also got a cappuccino which paired nicely with the cookie. Prices were good given the quality of the food. It is amazing and I will definitely be back to try other items.
Came at the last hour the cafe was open since I was having brunch with friends at a restaurant around the corner. From the pictures on Yelp, I was looking forward to the sugar bun and turnovers but sadly wasn't able to snag any. I imagine they sold out quickly! I got their chocolate chip cookies and chocolate croissants and they were SO YUMMY. Service was quick and fast. They have a good amount of seating and tables for those who want to dine in. Would definitely return if I was ever back in the area!

Delicious, buttery perfection!! Everything I tried was incredible, we ordered a lot to go (everything looked so good ). The staff is so friendly and greets every single person that walks in the door no matter how packed the restaurant is. Ruby's bakery is great breakfast or brunch spot! read more
I wouldn't be surprised if the Crolair (Croissant-Eclair) became a signature pastry. It was flaky, creamy, and delicious. The slices of peach on top were soft and sweet. In my opinion I would call it an Eclaistry -- an Eclair-Puff pastry -- instead, as I didn't spy the airy crumb of a croissant but it was absolutely delicious nonetheless. The pastry was both flaky and crusty which I'm going to guess was due to a sugar glaze, and that worked perfectly. I was very pleasantly surprised by how well the plastic knife cut through the pastry. In my experience, the base of a pastry is stretchy, the least flaky, and hence relatively the hardest to cut. This one was perfect all the way through! The black chocolate cake was delicious. It was more than the sum of its parts. The chocolate cake is a generic sponge cake -- neither moist nor dry. It was not the kind that has a syrup applied on. But paired with the buttercream and the chocolate ganache, it was simply sublime! I really wish I had bought a second slice to go. Finally, both the croissants were on point. They were flakey with a nice airy crust. I would definitely be back were I to pass by Lodi again. read more

First time I went in was when they had only been open for a few months. When we went in it was close to closing, so there wasn't too much to choose from. We decided to go back after seeing all their yummy looking food on their Social Media accounts. As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted by the friendly staff with a cheerful "Good Morning." We ordered the egg sandwich, a Vanilla Latte, almond croissant and 2 pastries to go. The egg sandwich itself was very tasty. The brioche was soft and buttery and the cheese was fried. The almond croissant was flaky on the outside and soft on the inside. The Vanilla Latte was a 10/10. It was NOT sweet, which I love and I actually tasted the espresso. Their berry danish was sooo yummy!! 10/10. Cute place to grab a quick bite or to just hang out with a cup of coffee and pastry. read more

I was there June 2nd and I love that place. I received the wrong order. Unfortunately, I was already in Modesto before I opened the box. When I called, the young lady remembered my order and apologized about mixing up our boxes. She told me that they would refund my whole order because it was their mistake. I should have known that was too good to be true. They only refunded $10.50 of the $48.50. I was disappointed because I expected her to follow through with what she told me. read more

Open on Christmas Eve. Friendly staff. Pastries look great -- lovely additions to holiday gatherings. No single pastries available for purchase though. I wanted a single chocolate croissant, but I had to purchase a box of 4. read more

This place is amazing!! It was my second time here and I was very pleased. My mom and I got the sugar bun and croque monsieur toast and wow I'm not sure which was better. Please please try the sugar bun it is life changing as it is moist and sweet and slightly sticky-just perfect. The toast was such a great savory pairing and the bread tasted so fresh. My mom got a white mocha I believe and she said it was so frothy and wonderful. This place was packed on a Sunday morning so people know how good this place is! The first time I went I forgot to review but their croissants are also amazing. And the service when it was less crowded was super friendly:) read more

I came here after eating lunch, so I was already full. I wanted to take some pastries home to try later though. I went with the sugar bun, as that seems to be popular, and the ham and Gruyère croissant. I didn't really care for the sugar bun, but the croissant was excellent- flaky. read more

We were in the area and thanks to Yelp, we intentionally came across this local gem! Super friendly staff, yummy food, and the coffee superb! It was our first time here and the a staff Seem to come accross regulars because twice we were asked if it was our first time. They took the time to explain the menu and give options even though they were quite busy for a Monday morning. We ordered two of the egg breakfast sandwiches added avocado and mushrooms, and gosh it was yummy! The bread was super soft and I could've went for another. My Almondmilk latte pretty and fresh and presentation of the goodies was great! We will definitely be back when in the area. read more
Super friendly staff, and clean dining. There is art work on the walls that decorates it nicely and available for purchase. Various baked goodies that are a must to try! Coffee menu is not their strength so stick with a toast option or many of the other baked favorites. Tip... come at 10:00 am when they have the various menu items available such as the bacon toast or croque madame. They have a veggie version that I love to make it a sandwich with the croque madame and it's delicious. They go fast so come right at 10! read more

Holy moly what a gem!! Had the Almond Croissant w chocolate, a scone and Quiche. Took a loaf of sourdough home. Fun positive vibe from all staff. Amazing care with all they do from the oven to the table. Back again today for avacado toast. Espresso was amazing. read more
Wow wow wow this place has the best pastries! Their croissants are so crispy and nutty. It's buttery deliciousness! I came here on a Saturday morning and was amazed at the full pastries display. Everything are freshly baked in the morning and they all look so good! I tried the chorizo danish and the almond croissant. The chorizo danish was my favorite! It was very flavorful and paired well with the salsa on the side. The almond croissant had a generous amount of filling and almonds. It was delicious as is but it would be even better if the almond flavor is stronger in my opinion. read more

This is a great casual breakfast spot. You order at the counter, and then they deliver your food to the table. It's super packed and loud, which would normally not be my vibe, but there's something about the place that makes it ok. The staff knows everyone in the cafe. They greet you when you come in, and greet many by name coming and when they leave. Now to the food. I had the coffee cake which is one of my favorite things on the planet. It had an amazing thick cinnamon sugar crust on top, the cake was so moist and delicious. It was the perfect size. Not too big and bready, and the perfect amount of the buttery sugar cinnamon crispy topping. I had the grilled ham and swiss, it was the best grilled sandwich I've had. The bread was perfectly browned and buttery without being greasy, it had a good amount of ham, and a spicy dijon mustard that wasn't to bitter, and had a horseradish type bite. The bread was a crusty rosemary (but subtle) sourdough, that was the perfect pairing to the sandwich. My husband had the breakfast sandwich and added bacon. It looked amazing, and he said it was delicious. He also got a side of toast with homemade jam, which I poached some of for my grilled ham and it was fantastic. I don't know what the jam was, but it was clearly homemade. Maybe marionberry? Next stop here lunch!! Check out the coffees too, they do an amazing cappuccino. The staff is a well oiled machine. read more

Ruby's has the best pastries in the 209! All their staff are very friendly and inviting! You can smell the aroma of the pastries from a block away. It's not really a place to study though, it's more of a socializing environment since it's kind of loud. Overall I'd give it 5/5 stars ! read more

Great food and coffee. It's an actual working bakery! I got the iced decaf americano (fabulous) and the egg plate (bacon was delish). My husband ordered a drip coffee to go with the deli sandwich (loved it). My son had the classic croissant with cappuccino (nicely foamed). It was a bit warm in the bakery cafe during the summer. Most of it is self-serve, but the food makes up for anything that is lacking. We would come back again for sure. read more
