Our Ruby Girl

Cute cafe. Friendly staff. Place was busy but the food came out on time . Ordered the French toast and my friend ordered the gnocchi. Both dishes and the coffee was tasty. Will visit again. 🙂

I cannot stop raving about this place. It's been around forever and I just haven't found the time to go and I realise now what ive been missing out on. We've been back multiple times since. Prepare for my ramble of how awesome this spot is. Delicious coffee. Awesome, inclusive service. Funky decor. Sustainably mindful gifts and homewares. Then freaking awesome (like holy moly awesome) food. We finally came here on a whim as they are open during those awful hours when noone else is (THANKYOU). Were seated and met with a little card explaining their hiring policy (!!!!) So clever as this initiated our brains to allow for some extra time for the servers. Plus they were packed full. Plus plus they provided table service!??!! Menu was packed with choice and was easy to read (yet still only one page). They had run out of a few things (didn't matter) and we gazed at other customers dishes when it came out and vowed to come back and try them. Lots of dishes and some more suited for breakfast and some for lunch (but available all day). My partner honed on the steak sandwich and I got the gnocchi. Our coffee was perfect and everything came out with good timing. The food was immaculately presented. Everything on the plate was there for a purpose in both presentation and flavour. And my god they were beautiful. Our first bites we stared at each with a "this is it" look. A cafe that actually gave a sh***. My gnocchi was phenomenal. Every bite as good as the last and a perfect size to fill me without stuffing me full. The contemporary selection of each flavour was unlike anything I've eaten and proves that good food exists. I personally would have forgone the egg but have kept that in mind for next time! The steak sandwich was enormous and the chips (my god the chips!) were a textbook example of what a crispy, perfectly seasoned house chip should be. The sandwich was packed with meat, pickles and slaw and this sauce (gravy?) Was so deliciously crafted and well seasoned. I don't even like steak sandwiches and I've had cravings for this one since. It was never soggy but so moist and the contrast of textures and ugh! I could ramble on forever. Since, we have been back to try the house cured salmon (oh my good god), the French toast donuts (decadent, perfectly balanced and just downright heavenly), as well as the focaccia with avo (like eating a deliciously crafted pizza). We've had the steak sandwich multiple times and just wow. Everytime we've been it's phenomenal. Service is flawless. Coffee is awesome. I wish everything for this cafe so I can keep coming back!!!

Staff are lovely and super helpful. Dine in food and coffee is great. Takeaway meals we’ve had so far are absolutely delicious, including a lasagna we had recently which may have been one of the best we’ve ever tasted! Love their partnerships with local businesses too…we picked up our Ruby Girl meal from Old Bridge Cellars who also suggested a beautiful wine to accompany the food. Just great!

Great spot for a breakfast and coffee in the hood. A bit pricey, but everything I’ve tried was excellent, I’d recommend the green eggs for the hungry ones, could be a bit heavy, but sooo delicious! Tried their winter special buckwheat porridge, which was well balanced and light, although I’m not a fan of a coconut cream. Portion could have been larger IMO. Staff is very helpful and friendly as always.
