I can't think of a better or more suitable name than 'Ruby's' for this little gem of a cafe.
You'll find Ruby's on the north end of Nicholson st, right off the tram track and perfectly positioned near the Merri creek's hanging bridge path.
The cafe adds a splash of 'something new' to a small row of specialist shop, and makes hanging around this area just a little bit more hip and fun.
The lack of other cafe competition doesn't get these guys to slack off though, during our visit the cafe was cool, friendly, and welcoming.
The menu is small but exciting. We love the milkshake menu with flavours like banana & co ( banana and coconut milk), nutella and almond, and the list goes on.
Coffee is great, and the menu comes across as modern with a Greek twist with things like Spanakopita; French kiss ( french toast with greek yoghurt and house lemon curd); peas and haloumi; but don't be fooled, they serve good ol' traditional comforts like banana and nutella jaffles.
add fresh selection of cakes, this place is definitely one to watch for the sweet tooth.
Ruby's space is retro hip and very welcoming, it's kids and pet friendly, but it's quite amazing what they've managed to do in a small fitting. There's even artworks display on the wall, for sale, and for envying.
the only thing they need, is outdoor seating for the summer crowd :) read more
