Cappuccino
Dianna I.

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.

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.

Cappuccino
Nicolette S.

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.

Cappuccino, chorizo and egg danish, and chocolate chip cookie.

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.

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!!

Goodies inside this wonderful box

It was a rainy day, but we felt like grabbing some pastries and their Egg Ricotta sandwich. As always, there was a line. But that's when you know a place is good haha. It was loud and crowded, but the staff kept the line moving. As usual, their items are always fresh. I did however notice something different with our go to Egg Ricotta sandwich. This time around it was very spicy! I looked at my previous pics, and it's the same amount of chili, but it was just the right amount of spice. We ordered 4 that day, and all 4 were super spicy. We had to scoop the chili out, which is definitely not ideal. Not sure what happened. Did they use a different chili oil brand? Was it just more concentrated for some reason? Whatever it was, they weren't good that day. Hopefully it was just an off day, and it'll be better next time around.

Menu and awards they have!

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!

Kind Staff! I love
Jessenia J.

Sugar bun in the back and lemon danish in the front

The pastries here are to die for! They are flaky on the outside and soft in the middle. Not pictured is the ham and gruyere croissant we also had. My standards for pastries are high and they definitely met them. The atmosphere inside was also nice and relaxed. The service was good.

Back again and always satisfied my pastries craving and worth the drive from Elk grove ! Ruby's morning buns is my fav one by far and their special chocolate hazelnut twist with coffee glaze is so good

Sugar bun, butter croissant and chocolate croissant

OMG, what a pleasant visit! The staff here were incredibly nice and welcoming. While I was ordering my coffee, a staff member behind the cashier chimed in and mentioned they had recently tried the iced cappuccino and loved it. I decided to give it a try too and wow, it was SO good! In fact, my sister ended up stealing it from me and made me take her drink instead. The pastries were all delicious, but the sugar bun was my absolute favorite. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly made. The café itself has such a cute vibe, and parking was super easy and accessible, which is always a plus. Overall just a really great experience. I'll definitely be back!

The Crolair
Val S.

This is a standout bakery in the area, and the recently expanded space makes it much more comfortable inside. It's usually busy, and during the holidays you can definitely expect a line. They often run out of popular items early, so it's best to arrive as soon as they open if you want the full selection. The menu is seasonal and features one of the best desserts I've ever had: the crolair. It's a light, flaky pastry filled with custard, topped with toasted meringue and fresh fruit. I could eat it every day! I only wish it were available year-round.

They sold this bread as sourdough to us. There was nothing sour about it.
Carolina L.

The croissants are excellent, flakes and layers in every bite. Luckily this bakery is a bit far from me due to traffic. If not I would come here every morning for that croissant! A bit disappointed in the sourdough I don't think I was sold a sourdough. Nothing was sour about it, oh well. The staff welcome you and despite the line out the door, they don't rush you. One more thing the coffee is wonderful!

Five stars for the coconut macaroons! They were much bigger last year when we went there shortly…read moreafter they first opened, but they are **still** the **best** around...and I bake my own, so I know! :) Get the chocolate dipped ones...

We went today to have breakfast close by this store, we ended up going inside to check it out as we…read moretalked to the lady who owns it. Very nice lady and kind! So out of kindness from our side, and to support local small businesses, we decided to try it out. We purchased a cup of chocolate cake marshmallow whip, and another item of pastry with strawberry and chocolate. As my son start eating from The chocolate cake cup, he said that the taste is sour and weird...had two bites and then he stopped and screamed as there were molds inside it! Mold in three different places....I am byond upset that how they will sell stuff that is expired and spoiled. It's a life hazard situation too. My pastry thingy, was taste old and so out of freshness, but at least it's not spoiled with fungus! So, please please lady owner of the shop, check your stuff especially the things that you kept in the cold place if it's spoiled and has mold! If it's old please throw it away, selling it as fresh (even if it's in the fridge), it doesn't mean it's still edible after many days. You seems to be nice lady, but please take care of your customers by taking care of the stuff you've selling. We paid for it full price, and expecting a good and healthy product. Thanks
