    We have been fans of Ruby Slipper since our first trip to New Orleans in 2017. We don't have Ruby Slipper this far north, in Nashville, but we do have Ruby Sunshine. Ruby Sunshine has a lot of Ruby Slipper's items. Lots of runny benny style eggs with various meats--shredded pork, fried chicken, shrimp. They also have a version with grilled tomatoes (though my tomatoes didn't seem grilled at all). Other options include French toast, omelets, migas, catfish, pancakes. I got the peacemaker, which is a fun option when you're torn between options. I got the cochon (apple braised pork) and Blackstone (smoked bacon and grilled tomato). Again, my tomato wasn't really grilled and could have used more seasoning. My pork was a little dry. But overall it was a good brunch dish. And my favorite part (always has been) is they do SUPER RUNNY eggs perfectly. I had a mimosa, which was fine. A note, they don't serve drinks with liquor before 8 AM (I work the night shift). The margarita I had after 8 AM was tart due to the grapefruit and hit the spot after a long day. It's a large spot, lots of tables and bar seats. Open with lots of windows and high ceilings. I was the first person at 7 AM, but more people came in during the two hours I was there. Wasn't crowded by the time I left at 9 AM though. Parking in back is your best bet. You can get one hour free with the code at the Ruby Sunshine host stand. Beyond that, two hours is just a little over six bucks. I suggest this over trying to find street parking, which is not easy. My server, Cody, was very attentive, but not smothering. He kept on top of my drinks and checked on my often, but not too often. Solid brunch spot in a trendy Vanderbilt university neighborhood.

    LOVED THIS PLACE! We initially were waiting for a different spot, looked over & saw this patio, and swapped! lol. We started with the mimosa flight and the Bloody Mary- both delish. Got the seasonal fruity pebbles beignets and they were over the top good. We also got the fruity French toast and the avocado toast. Both beautiful presented with a 10/10 flavor. Oops, and we shared the bread pudding pancake. Yum. Great service, great location. Would return and recommend.

    My boyfriend and I went to Ruby Sunshine for brunch on a weekday early afternoon. When we got there we were very easily able to get a table and were soon greeted by the servers. I ordered their Smashburger. The burger itself was great. I love when burgers have a lot of veggies on them and the flavor was great. The burger comes with fries which were not my favorite since I thought they were too much on the crunchy side and felt more like potato sticks than French fries. Parking anywhere in Hillsboro village is more on the difficult side, but they have an attached parking lot right in the back. This gives you an hour of free parking and you have to pay for any parking in addition to an hour. If you do go I'd be sure to pay attention to the parking time since this area often can be pretty stringent with that.

    I brought my mom and her boyfriend to Ruby Sunshine for brunch, since attending the yelp event i've been wanting to go back and try their food, it was a total hit. My mom ordered the Bananas Foster pancakes, and she could not stop talking about how good they were fluffy, perfectly cooked the bananas was not mushy not super sweet and topped with that warm, buttery sauce that makes you want to lick the plate clean. Everyone loved their dishes, my gf got the three little pig's omelet and everything came out fresh and flavorful. My momma bf got the biscuit and gravy with sausage links and fried chicken which was fire! The staff was friendly, attentive, she remembered me from the yelp event and remembered us take tater tots shots lol and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. The vibe inside is fun and relaxed, perfect for a slow morning with family. If you're looking for a brunch spot that consistently delivers great food and great service, Ruby Sunshine definitely deserves a spot on your list! I can't wait to go back!

    Transplanted to Nashville from New Orleans, Ruby Sunshine brings highlights some of the best breakfast flavors and drinks of NOLA. Typically crowded on the weekend, Monday is a great day to have brunch in Hillsboro Village. You have a chance to park. The parking lot behind the building has 1 hour free but make sure you register at the box or they will be sure to ticket. There is plenty of seating in Ruby Sunshine, and whether you sit at the bar or a table, there is a lot of whimsy in the decor. ie. ruby slipper with a fried egg, whisks for lamp shades. Fun. We were seated right away and given plenty of time to choose our meal and drinks. Friendly help from everyone. As it was my first time, I shared a trifecta of bennies to experience the most of the flavors. The St. Charles (chicken) was my favorite. The crunch was great and there was just the right amount of sauce. Yum. The beignets and and beverage were a part of a Yelp event but they are totally worth it. Delicious.

    The bartenders rock! The decor is bright and cheerful. The menu has so many great options. Fried green tomatoes is a wonderful way to start. The salads and the Benedict's are yummy!! The egg white bowl is a great light alternative. Try the bloody Mary mix, so so good! The Chai tea was warm, creamy and had such a comforting flavor. The avocado toast is so well balanced and has a beautiful presentation.

    I'm not gonna lie I didn't love the food or the drinks. It's a nice little place in a busy area, but it also isn't opened too late so just judging it for brunch vibes but I don't think I'll be coming back. The food was pretty bland and I had to send my food back because it was pink catfish which according to google is bad. They said it was just the seasoning but they took it off the bill and I just didn't eat other than my friends leftovers. servers were super nice though so I will give them that and the biscuits were definitely a crowd pleaser.

    The Trifecta AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
    Justin P.

    If your around and thinking about trying. Stop thinking and go!!!!! Very spacious cute spot with top notch food. I had the trifecta of eggs Benedict. It was an amazing variety of flavors and uniqueness that I haven't had anywhere before. The Carmel ice coffee was good. Pretty standard. The candied bacon wasn't great. Just bacon with brown sugar dumped on it. But still ok.

    B.Y.O. Omelet

    If you're in Nashville you'll appreciate the free 1 hour parking lot behind the building! The servers and hosts were super friendly and helpful. I got the omelet with a biscuit and the biscuit comes with a honey cinnamon butter that is delicious. The butter has a nice subtle flavor if you aren't into sweet butters. The coffee is also surprisingly good and I'd go back just to get a coffee! It is also pet friendly on their outdoor patio if you need to grab food while with your pet (they even have water bowls)! Overall it's a great casual place to go with friends or alone since they have bar top seating.

    What a unique and amazing little gem! It's located on the second floor (near the Subway!)…read more The service was incredible, it was very nice guy that helped us pick some flavors and they were all amazing!

The space is located on the 2nd floor of the plaza and is big enough where it has a cafe-vibe. It seemed that this a good place for the nearby Vanderbilt students to come hang out/study at. I got the Kesar Pista which is saffron and pistachio. Really unique flavor that I haven't had together and it was really good. The saffron was very prominent which was great. The texture of the ice cream was nice and soft. I also really appreciated the small waffle cone piece they add on the side which was a little 'chip' I could use to dip into the ice cream. Small little detail but you don't see what the actual flavors are here unlike most other ice cream shops. They don't 'scoop' it right in front of you and so while ordering, you don't have a visual of what exactly the flavors are other than 'googling' it while waiting. Because of this, I wasn't sure if I was allowed to ask for samples etc. I assume it's some logistical reason as to why they can't show the flavors in the front, but in that case sampling flavors should be prompted/encouraged by the staff. I think it'd really help!

    I co-work a lot, so there are two main things I look for:…read more Outlets Parking This place is great at 1/2 of these things. Parking is perfect. Plenty of room to park. They have started doing a little better about having outlet options, but mainly at those tall, long skinny tables. The ones that aren't necessarily great for working because they're so high up and can make your legs feel weird after awhile. Haha. The other semi complaint I have is that they close early. 3 pm is early when you want to try and work. Drinks are good. I don't drink a ton of coffee these days, but what I've had there was good. I get either their chai or matcha. Both of those I enjoy! I had a sandwich there recently. I wanted to roll my eyes at the price truthfully. However, when it came.. WOAH. It was GIANT. I was thoroughly impressed. It was really really good. I had to take half of it home and put it in the fridge. When I came back home hours later... it was STILL GOOD. The bread was not soggy either! That's HUGE! Ok so overall, I highly recommend this place and it's one of my go to spots.

    Glashaus has really great vibes and some cool glass pieces to check out or shop inside the shop…read more I tried their Ghost Coffee, but sadly it wasn't very good--might have just been an off day. I'd still consider going back since they're open fairly late, which I really appreciate. There's a small parking lot next to the shop, which is convenient. Overall, a fun spot for the atmosphere even if the coffee didn't quite hit for me.
