What a great find!! Everything we tried was absolutely scrumptious. We had the deli sandwich, a green spring salad with delicious croissant croutons and fresh vinaigrette dressing. All of the pastries we took home gobbled up quickly. And my favorite was the light/fresh sourdough sandwich bread we took home was one of the best I have had. I look forward to returning and trying other items. read more

Im not from Lodi but met a friend there. The place was clean and nice. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The avo toast and coffee I had were good. I really enjoyed everything and will definitely be back when I'm back in town. read more

Okay Lodi, I see you. Small city with now one of my top bakeries that I've tried in NorCal! The croissants here (plain one and everything one) are huge! They're special also because they're outrageously fluffy on the inside while still having a crispy and flaky outer crust. As they're very light I didn't feel much guilt devouring one lol. I prefer the plain one over the "everything" one (it has everything but the bagel seasoning) though as I'm not the biggest fan of the savory cream cheese in it (a little curdled; this croissant pretty much would be fine with no filling at all). The chocolate almond croissant uses a different pastry dough and is more dense. It's alright; the chocolate is laid down so thickly that it's really hard to taste any almond flavor. Still good though with the delectably light chewy bite to it. If you see the chocolate chip cookie, get it. Perfectly chewy with pockets of delicious high-quality chocolate (tastes similar to the one in the chocolate almond croissant). Not overly sweet either. Coffee cake is super moist. Very friendly staff. Definitely a must-try if you're in the area or just passing through here (Lodi) via Highway 99! read more

Ok so I was done fishing in the California Delta and I was craving something cafe-bakerish. So yelp popped up Ruby's, I got my directions and sped over there. As soon as you walk in the door, you say to yourself now this is the definition of Cafe-Bakerish LOL. Loads of fresh baked pastries on display - people inside are buzzing - smell of coffee in the air - this is the spot even before I tried anything. With so many options I chose the ham and cheese croissant, a blueberry scone (I was hungry) and of course cafe latte. The croissant was amazing - the scone was good and the latte was perfect. Always remember to get the latte for here it tastes so much better than in those to go cups. So do I recommend Ruby's - heck yeah I do, I just wish I was in the area more often because I would be a regular. Please do not hesitate when this place pops up in your Yelp search, you will not be disappointed. read more

We finally were able to try Ruby's today and we were not disappointed! The selection and variety of pastries and breakfast items was amazing. It was hard to choose because they all looked so good. We ordered the ham and Gruyère croissant, the seasonal danish, and chorizo and potato croissant. They all tasted great. The pastry dough was flaky and buttery and the fillings were great! We also ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was the best I've had in a long time! We enjoyed the lively atmosphere. The dinning area was cute and clean and the service was great. read more

Well... another location that had a big hype that missed the mark unfortunately. The place is small so if you're coming with a bigger group don't count on comfortable seating arrangements. All but one table is made for bigger groups. The line got long and there's no clear indication how or where to order. The coffee was just ok.. nothing exciting or new. Staffs customer service is 50/50. The place is modern and cute. Maybe more enjoyable during the week: staff is young and maybe not as experienced. Not sure if I would give this place another try.. especially because everything is higher priced. Which I don't care paying more for quality service and food! This sadly missed the mark! read more

There are places in the world that are worth a wait, bakeries in the world worth a long line, windows of pastries, seeet and savory, tastes which tempt a snatch and grab. Ruby's is such a place. Croque monsieur? A must mon fils. Sticky buns? Not icky. Let's also go with a danish and a croissant or two. If it's quiet and lazy, you'll love the space. If busy? Grab a table when you can but be ready for a noisy room with satiated happy conversations. Coffee? Of course, and of the same ilk as the baked goods. You can't go wrong grabbing a cappuccino. read more

Came in on a rainy afternoon after the Lodi antique show on recommendation from a friend one of the vendors at the show. My avocado toast with two over easy eggs was a nice breakfast size with just the right amount of avocado spread. The bread toasted the edges had a nice crisp bite. My husband's breakfast sandwich he was pleased with and the bacon as crispy as he likes. I enjoyed my coffee an he enjoyed his hot chocolate as we watched the rain out the front window. Customer service was friendly the short line moved quickly. This is a small dinning area the seating is cozy can be too cozy for more than two, luckily it wasn't too busy during our visit. The customers appeared to be locals friends family. Yes recommend coming in. read more

Wow! This bakery is so good and the customer service is excellent. Their staff greets and thanks every customer and makes recommendations.

It's a must stop when visiting Lodi or even if you are passing through. read more

Avocado toast and croissants were delicious. There was a line outside but it moves quickly.

Absolutely love, Ruby's bakery, best sourdough in town. Always fresh, always helpful, always friendly, best bakery in Lodi.

Ruby's Bakery and Cafe is hands down the BEST in our area. The friendly staff in this cozy bustling cafe always welcomes you with their aromatic smells of freshly baked bread and delicious roasted coffee. The sourdough bread is exceptional, along with their coffee, sugar buns, croissants, cheesecake, pastries, sandwiches, and croque monsieur. I could honestly list their entire menu, but today, I want to discuss the mouthwatering seductress tucked behind the glass case disguised as their humble Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie. This grown up cookie is pure eating pleasure that has been expertly created with some magical food science, resulting in the perfect balance of crunchy, salty, chewy, chocolatey decadence. This sexy-delicious cookie is so divine it will have you dreaming about it days after consumption. Seriously, it's pure dark chocolate bliss. So, if you're having a craving or just need a little serotonin to get you through, grab a Cappuccino and the PERFECT Chocolate Chip Cookie. read more

Found this little gem in Lodi and we were so glad we decided to give it a try. This establishment exudes excellence in all areas: food, service, and ambiance! I felt like I walked into Cheers as I overheard staff greeting patrons by their first names. My favorite item on my order was the chocolate almond twice baked croissant. If you end up buying one, indulge me by closing your eyes as you bite through each buttery, flaky layer of the croissant. While you're there, take the time to admire the amazing pieces of art hanging on the walls. read more

I have been wanting to try this bakery cafe for the last few months and finally today was the day. I read an article from a food blogger about his travels to Lodi and this bakery. He said "the sugar buns were better than a Michelin rated Bay Area bakery" so I had to try them. The cafe/bakery was very cute, tidy, with plenty of seating for a small cafe. The staff were attentive and very accommodating. I ordered a dozen sugar buns to take to my staff at the Mercy Cancer Center in Sacramento. I decided to cut them into quarters as they looked very sweet. Similar to a croissant or cronut & was much like a "morning bun" from Freeport Bakery in Sacramento, but only better! Delectable pastry,, with an essence of orange citrus goodness. I can't believe this bakery is less than two miles from my house and my waist line is going to hate me! read more

Everything about this place is 5 stars! The cleanliness of the inside, the staff was so friendly, the food was delicious. We ate inside today and while we were eating, multiple people came in and staff knew everyone by name! They have a smaller menu but I think that's how they make everything so delicious. We tried the ham and cheese sandwich, which was cooked perfect, cheese was so melty and the ham was cut just right. Only thing we didn't enjoy on this sandwich was the Dijon mustard, felt like it overpowered the sandwich. We got a box of sweets to go. We tried the crumb cake, sugar bun, and coconut almond macaron. The macaron stole the show, it had a slight crips on the outside with moist coconut goodness on the inside. We will for sure be back here!! read more

Holy Moly, the croissants from here are UHMAZING! I came to visit a friend who had a box of assorted croissants shown in the picture. There was an everything with cheese and peppers, ham and cheese, and hazelnut chocolate of some sort. It was absolutely delicious (my 10 month old agrees). I don't live close, so decided to grab some on my way home. Picked up a seasonal danish, butter croissant and a chocolate croissant (equally as delicious). The young lady helping me was so sweet, talking to my baby and was very personable! I loved seeing the 30+ banneton baskets of what I would assume was bread of some sort, as there's a huge glass window where you can see everything behind made. read more

On my way to my physical therapy over by Ruby's bakery and of course I did not have physical therapy. I decided to walk into this little restaurant and I was amazed how busy this little place was. I have never heard of it and they didn't have much of a selection but what they did have was great people and great personalities and the little shop was just a buzz with people in it so I decided to take a gander and look at what they did have now to my surprise. The food looked so good so I decided I was gonna take a few items and try them out myself, and I went with the sugar bun, the ham and cheese, croissant, a mango black tea and what I believe was a peach and something cake wasn't quite sure what else was in it. There was no way I was gonna be able to eat this food and I definitely did not want to share with the family so I don't know how I'm gonna do this, but I started with the cake and the tea and oh my word it was so filling it was so good. A couple bites in and I'm already full, but I have to give props to whoever made the cake and I'm looking forward to the croissant to enter the sugar bone because I'm going to devour it all it's just gonna take me some time. I will definitely go back after my physical therapy Another day obviously so I would definitely be inclined to share to you all to go in there get some goodies get more than you ones and share them with your friends have a tea party get some breakfast. They do have breakfast items so do what you can get what you can before they're gone. It's only 930 and like I said they were running out so I'm sure they are bringing more stuff out as we speak so let me know what you think but get your eat on!! 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

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

Best croissants EVER. The most flaky, buttery and delicious. The fresh sour dough is also the greatest for sandwiches.

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
