I love all kind of bakery here and I kept going back to try new ones My favorite so far is choc chip cookies read more

Introduction: I arrived at 1:22 P.M and was promptly greeted upon entering. It was quite busy when I arrived, though, there were still a few open seats and tables. The employees were amiable and helpful in making my decision of what to order. There was less of a selection of pastries by the time I arrived, thus I suggest going as early as possible to have the best and most fresh selection of pastries to choose from. My Order: I decided to order a 6oz cappuccino, a chocolate croissant ("Pain au Chocolat" for my Francophile friends out there), and their "Egg Sandwich" consisting of an "over medium egg, bacon, and melted cheese on a brioche bun" according to their menu. Environment: The establishment is nice, both inside and out. Inside it was clean, the walls are white, there are various artworks displayed on the walls for sale, a large display area for the pastries, and a large glass window that makes the kitchen clearly visible for all. There was also a pretty yellow-orange neon sign with the name of the establishment that was inside and some music playing in the background. Food/Drink: The coffee, chocolate croissant and egg sandwich were excellent. Each item was perfectly executed. The cappuccino (6oz, also available in 8oz) was served in a clear, glass coffee cup on a white plate. It tastes excellent and it was nicely presented having the standard cappuccino foam art on top. I have no complaints whatsoever. The Chocolate Croissant was enormous. It was larger than my fist. It was nice and flaky on the outside, had a good crunch and was deliciously buttery. The inside was soft and airy and the chocolate tasted fantastic. This was a perfectly executed croissant. The Egg Sandwich was absolutely divine. The cheese tasted like mozzarella and the bun was particularly notable, it had a fine pastry quality and was like a soft croissant. The egg (over medium) and the bacon were cooked perfectly and the egg was lightly salted. Great attention to detail. However, the sandwich could use some more color. I would have liked to have seen some sort of green leafy green in it such as arugula. The only other minor detail I must point out is that the sandwich was a bit too oily. Other than these two very minor details, the sandwich was exceptional and I would certainly order it again. Service: The service was great, the employees were kind and helpful in helping me decide what to order as I mentioned above. I received my chocolate croissant immediately, the cappuccino only a few minutes after ordering and my sandwich only six minutes after ordering. To be sure, the service was expedient and pleasant. Cost: The total cost of my order came out to about $21. Prices are reasonable. Pros and Cons: Pros: Excellent service Kind employees Quick Food/drink was outstanding Interior was lovely Artwork displayed Clean Music in the background Cons: Slightly loud. Not that big of a deal. Much of it was due to the other customers' conversations, so there's not much the employees could do about it anyway. Sandwich could have used a bit more color. Maybe some arugula. Also a bit too oily. (very minor) Ordering Tips: Ask to have pastry warmed up if so desired. I'm sure they would oblige your request. Verdict: Overall, my experience at Ruby's Bakery and Cafe was excellent. I definitely recommend this establishment to others and would certainly return. This is the finest bakery/cafe I have found so far. Well done. I'm impressed. read more

OMG YUM! I seriously wanted to buy one of each items they had on display. I completely understand why people make the long drive to Lodi just to come here. It was busy for a reason and I can't wait to go back and sip some coffee with my breakfast. read more

Get off highway 99 and stop at Ruby's in Lodi. We recently stopped in Lodi to have coffee and a snack and happened upon one of the best bakeries around. We were there late in the day, so they didn't have much left, which is a great sign! We had the ham cheese croissant and the croque monsieur. Ruby's croissants transported us right back to our visits to France. They are amazing! We don't get up to Lodi very often, but I can guarantee we will stop every time we pass through from now on. The only different is that we will try to get there earlier in the day. read more

We ordered a cold brew and a hot latte. My cold brew was so bitter I ended up throwing it away. My husbands latte was just okay. This was our 3rd visit but I was so disappointed with my drink I may not go back. Drinks 2 stars. Service 2.5 stars, the lady taking our order seemed to be overwhelmed. The croissants are 5 stars. I'm not sure if we just went at a bad time but the quality was not there on this last visit. read more

This is the best bakery, period. When you walk in, the employees greet you (and, if you come often enough, by name!) and the decor is tasteful and incorporates art from local artists. Everything is fresh and delicious. My husband basically worships this bakery and loves every single thing he's ever eaten there. If pressed, he'd say his favorite orders are the hazelnut twists and the Danishes. Every time he drives through Lodi he comes back with at least a couple of those treats. But the best is when we have time to stop in Lodi and try Ruby's savory options. The ham and cheese on their house-made sourdough bread travels well and is incredible, and the breakfast option of eggs, bacon, and sourdough toast prompted us to buy a whole loaf of their sourdough bread to take home with us. This place is the best and we only wish we lived there and could order there more often. But then we would also have to start running marathons or something to counterbalance our increased baked good intake... read more

The croissant is excellent... it just gets better and better. Everything. Anything. You'll like it all!

Best croissants! So buttery , light and flakey! Love this bakery & definitely recommend.

I travel all the way from Alaska for the best coffee cake and sugar bun's ever. The staff has always been friendly even when I can't decide on how much to order. read more

I have been here a few times and feel terrible for not reviewing. The first time I stumbled on this place was by accident. I needed time to kill and had my little one wanting a snack. Well lucky for both of us we found this place with the best chocolate chip cookie and chocolate croissant I've ever had. Now the following visit I treated my kiddos to a snowflake ginger bread cookie. Which was pretty much swallowed with no crumb left behind. My most recent visit was with my husband and I finally got to try the breakfast sandwich. I had been dying to try it from seeing it on their Instagram all the time. The brioche bun was so soft and butter. The egg was cooked to perfection. The bacon was crispy and the cheese melted on top was so good! My palate was overloaded with flavor. It's just a perfect combination. The coffee was also really good. Had some earthy chocolate notes. Food aside, all of the staff I've encountered have been incredibly welcoming and make this place feel so bright and down to earth. I still have more to try but Im confident there is nothing here that can disappoint. read more

What a great place! We had a chocolate croissant, cranberry scone, and coffee cake, and took home a spectacular looking sourdough loaf. The chocolate croissant was excellent. As I understand it, perfection in a croissant is when the outer crispy layer shatters into little bits all over the table, and your lap, and anyone who passes too close. In this case, that super thin layer came off all in one piece. Aside from that, the flavor of the croissant was perfect, the bake was perfect, the rise was beautiful, and the chocolate had the right bittersweet intensity to blend with the buttery, yeasty pastry. The scone had a beautifully crunchy crust with a perfect soft-but-toothsome inside. Really good flavor combination! The coffee cake was lovely: nice streusel center, and a perfect amount of crumble topping. The real winner, though, is that loaf of sourdough. I make sourdough, and get some pretty decent results. This loaf is beyond next level. The decorative scoring is lovely to look at, the oven spring gives the loaf a perfect shape, the crumb is what I only dream of, and it tastes grand: nutty and yeasty and not "sour" at all. It seems expensive, but it's a really big loaf, and since it's sourdough I expect it will stay fresh until we finish it. The service was excellent, and the coffee was good too! They did a pretty brisk business while we were there eating in. We probably won't be able to get back soon, but I'll definitely be on the lookout for any opportunity to pass through Lodi just for Ruby's. read more

Stopped in while on a trip to Lodi to pick up our wine club at a local winery. The front counter experience was a bit daunting for this first-timer. Staff is very friendly and things settled down and I was able to focus on the wide assortment of items available. We had the ricotta toast, warm ham & melted cheese on sliced bread, a chocolate croissant and almond/coconut macaroons. Everything was amazing. The only odd part of the experience was that our coffee drinks arrived well after the food had hit the table. The food was so great and the staff so friendly that they swept us off our feet. Even with hiccup of the drinks they earned the 5 stars. read more

This place is amazing! The coffee, the pastries, the pizza and the staff are all perfect!

This place deserves all the stars! We walk in and get an enthusiastic hello from the people behind the counter, when they are busy. My daughter and I look at all the delicious goodies behind the counter and the lovely young lady is happy to answer any and all questions. We decided on a sugar bun and BLT. We were not disappointed. The sugar bun is sweet, soft, full of delicious layers, and a chewy goodness that is sweet but not so sweet that it is too much. Perfect sweetness. The BLT was served on a croissant roll (where have you been all my life!) with bacon, cooked perfectly crisp, mixed greens, heirloom yellow tomato, and this delicious aioli. It was so amazing!!! The atmosphere is modern and clean. And the employees were friendly and helpful!! Love RUBY's!!! I am a fan. read more

Grand Slam. I'm a foodie by nature and a pastry/bakery fanatic. Wherever we've traveled the first thing I look for is a bakery, any city/town worth its salt has one. Except Lodi...And Galt...We've been required to travel to Ginger Elizabeth in Sacramento for our bakery/patisserie fix, before they opened it was b. patisserie in SF. I'd heard that the owners of Ruby's worked at a bakery in SF for years, walking in today and seeing their sourdough loaves and proofing baskets I had a sense it was Tartine which is considered by many to be the center of the Nor Cal baking universe. Sure enough. You train at Tartine you better know how to make a proper baked good. Thank you Ruby's for bringing your talent to Lodi. Chocolate Croissant Sugar Bun Apple Turnover Cream Cheese Chili Croissant All were eye rolling mind blowing amazing You can tell a perfect pastry by the quantity of shattered crumbs on your face, lap and napkin. Next visit will be for the breads they currently have a Sourdough and a Baguette on the menu. Looking forward to it! read more

We had a fabulous breakfast here. The pastries were so fresh! The servers had a positive attitude and greeted regulars by name. We were newbies but received the same friendly attitude. Each table had a small bouquet of fresh flowers that added a cheerful touch. If you're in the area this is a must stop place. read more

Wish I could leave 5, but can only leave 4. The almond croissants are served burnt. They are black on the bottom and all cut in half prior to purchase. This makes them extremely dry and hard. When we mentioned we got a burnt croissant, we were told they're served dry and black-bottomed on purpose! Apparently they bake these twice to make them over-dry and burnt. The Emerald bay cafe was n Oakland makes the best almond croissants, and they are never black-bottomed! We did enjoy the quiche and the chorizo potato croissant was unique and tasty. read more
