Had Mother's Day lunch with the family. Great food, Great service, excellent communication in regards to last min booking. Highly recommend. Thank you for a great experience. Will definitely be back to take advantage of such a great local eatery.
Delicious coffee, amazing food, always here with my friends. Cannot recommend a place enough :)
Had an awesome almond flat white today. Good size, tasted bang on, the cup was extremely comfortable to hold and great to drink out of.
A nice, family friendly cafe in Ringwood, Rubiki is a busy cafe in a small shopping area. It has a great corner location, and has a comfortable atmosphere. The staff were pleasant even though it was quite busy when we visited.
We only stopped for coffee and cake, and both were delicious. There was a good selection in the display cabinet, but the menu also looked pretty good too. It seemed to be quite popular so I'm assuming that the food must be pretty good too. For that reason, we will be back to try something more substantial for brunch.
I used to go here a few years ago, found that the menu lacked anything that appealed to me and the serving sizes were small for the price. Fast forward to last week, it appears there is new management and with that comes an exciting new menu. Really enjoyed the vegie bowl with black rice (forgot what it's called) and the portion was more than generous. Would have got 5 stars had the service been more friendly and welcoming. Will be back.
Just had a sensational breaky at Rubiki. Eggs on pulled pork and house made hash browns with aioli and pickled cabbage equals delishious! They have a great milk selection also including coconut and macadamia. Highly recommend.
Stopped in here for a quick lunch earlier this week after going shopping with my Mum for Christmas lunch at the nearby IGA.
I ordered the eggs benedict with pulled pork gluten free and my Mum order the smashed avocado. The sauce was perfect, hash browns nice and crispy and the pulled pork was excellent.
Both dishes were lovely and we've been raving about them ever since. My Mum was inspired to base Christmas breakfast off the smashed avocado it was that good. Coffee was nice as well. Will definitely be coming back here!
Friendly, helpful staff, unique and tasty dishes and calm ambiance. In particular the coffee, shakshuka and Korean chicken waffles are items I want to keep coming back for.
Took Mum for breakfast here today and the food was wonderful, I had scrambled eggs with bacon and goats cheese and Mum had the big breakfast, my eggs were creamy and weren’t dry which a lot of scrambled eggs can be, goats cheese was so good! all staff are very friendly and welcoming, also attentive too. Easy to park and access cafe the cafe, would highly recommend if in the area (also went on weekend at lunchtime and no wait so that was also a plus)
Loved going here for breakfast when I used to work in the area.
The eggs Benedict is always a winner and the coffee is always on point.
The staff and owner always have a smile and that’s the customer service you want at every place you eat at.
In a previous review, I might have understated how good the eggs are here.
They are indescribably good.
No. They're actually better than that.

Another location where I wouldn’t normally think of to try for breakfast is Ringwood North. There aren’t too many café options in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, so to find a decent one that stands out is a real bonus. Hidden behind a small group of shops, Rubiki is a welcoming café with friendly staff and a really nice spacious atmosphere. They focus on high quality, fresh, and organic goods. Everything is made with love and is presented beautifully. The menu is quite extensive and there is a large focus on both breakfast and lunch options.
Mushrooms on toast has always been a favourite of mine. Usually there is not much flavour, or the flavour comes from the toast. This mushroom dish, however, was an overall win for me. The mushrooms were really soft and cooked to perfection. They were also quite sweet and had a really strong and delicious flavour. The red wine reduction added almost a sweet smoky flavour to the meal, which made the mushrooms pop even more. The quantity of mushrooms on the dish was crazy but I felt like I was in heaven; you can never have too many mushrooms on a plate! Being such a large dish, it was quite filling but very satisfying. I would definitely recommend trying this!!
So we have seen the classic smashed pumpkin, but Rubiki have decided to put their own twist on it. With a Thai flavour infused in the pumpkin, it is a bit sweet and spicy, which intrigues you as to what you are actually eating, but the overall sense is it tastes like a genuine Thai meal. The pumpkin chunks are a perfect size for each bite, or you could even spread it over the lightly toasted rye bread. Rye was a good choice to combine with the pumpkin as the flavour combination balances each other out. The sage was a great touch to add a complementing flavour, whilst also enhancing the presentation. The feta on this dish, OMG, as soon as I tasted it I felt like I was in heaven! The feta is super creamy and just melts as soon as it touches your tongue. This kind of feta was perfect to balance out the spices of the pumpkin. With the lime squeezed over the top, the dish was complete.
As the hotcake arrived at our table, I could already smell the sweet and creamy aromas that were about to melt in our mouths. The hotcake is a perfect size compared to most others around Melbourne which have become excessive just for the presentation. The plating of this dish was actually quite cute, with the jam and cream in a small jar, next to the maple syrup in a pourer. The hotcake itself was really fluffy and had a strong buttery flavour. The berries added a nice sweet/sour flavour to each bite, which I really enjoyed. The syrup poured over the top added a lot of moisture to the hotcake, which soaked in really nicely to enhance the sweet flavours. The cream and jam combination was such a cute idea. Spread across the hotcake, the fluffiness of the cream complemented the cake really well, while making each bite more filling. Usually sweet dishes are overdone, but this meal was probably my favourite out of the three we tried! Everything about it was amazing, so if you’re craving something sweet and hearty, I would highly suggest trying this meal.
The vibes I got from this café were really positive, from the moment we walked through the door to the moment we left. We really enjoyed our feast and would definitely come back if we are in the area.

Big and delicious servings, especially bacon! Treat yourself with sourdough toast, scrambled eggs and bacon with a mocha. Really friendly staff with a hands on operator. A must visit if in the area!
What a coffee. I didn't get any food on this occasion, but the food being served to other customers looks, fresh, appetising and plentiful. I will be heading there for brunch sometime soon.
Was searching for a local cafe and decided on Rubiki based on reviews. The foods and warm beverages were really great. It was nice to sit outside in the sun. I was surprised at how relatively quiet the area was, especially around school time. Will definitely be back.
Good service, great coffee and delicious food. Nice cafe!
Veggie big breakfast takeaway was yum! Avo, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, hash brown with scrambled eggs on sourdough toast.
