Under new ownership. Consistently great coffee (during the week) when main staff are on. Friendly service and a clean cafe. Excellent cafe.
5 of us went for lunch on a cold day in August. We found it warm. Atmosphere was good.
Service was excellent. Food was very good and delivered in a reasonable time. Restaurant was full. Highly recommended.
Great coffee, excellent service, and a really good location (options to sit inside or outside, in areas with great atmosphere or quieter spaces). Highly recommended!
Enjoyed the food and service. I highly recommend getting sweetcorn fritters. It didn't take long to get our orders. Very cozy and clean place. It's a good stop over on your way out of Wellington.
Saw this in my cafè search online, and as its only about 12kilometres away, thought I'd give it a go.
Great little cafe. Ordered coffee and cake, and it came out within a few minutes. Friendly staff too.
Will behave again for a breakfast next time.
Coffee and cake excellent!!
Good food and excellent coffee, nice variety of food from the menu or cabinet. It is very popular even during the week. Service is usually very good and you can takeaway food and coffee.
First time to Ruby's after it being recommended and we were not disappointed. Extremely busy cafe that was near full but we were seated straight away, water provided and order taken within 10mins. Both my husband and I had the open steak sandwich and it was to die for, steak was cooked to how we asked, the flavours all worked and the salad was divine (hubby not a salad eater but he couldn't get enough of it). We have not had such a enjoyable meal like that in a long time, we will certainly be returning customers
A great place to eat, the pancakes are the best!!
This cafe's food is should seriously be considered as some of the best cafe food in Wellington. As I live in the area if friends are out we usually bring them here over the pepper mill or cafe vella. Easily best restaurant in the region.
As far as their service, expect lots of young girls but the food more than makes up for it.
Pancakes and BLT are especially good. Breakfast food in general is their strong suit.
We live in Wellington City but love to come out to Ruby's for brunch at weekends.
Staff are friendly and food is excellent. Highly recommend.
Hubbie and I have been going to Ruby's for like years. We have now moved to Wellington but still travel to Ruby's for the Great food, great service the best-est ever coffee) at least once a week
I pop into Ruby's at least once a week for a coffee and sometimes a meal. The food, coffee and service has always been great and I would, and do recommend it to others. They do great breakfast/brunch meals!
I wouldn't recommend taking young children there as they have a zero tolerance for noisy (normal) children and I have heard from a few people that they ask you to leave if your kids are too loud or playing up. Fair enough I guess when others have come for a quiet coffee or meal but not great for families who want a meal out.
Overall a lovely, well run cafe with great coffee & food- just leave the kids at home! :)
I've been coming to Ruby's for a while on my day off. I've brought my in-laws, my toddler, and just myself occasionally.
The coffee is EXCELLENT. And I find the food to be really really good. Had breakfast there with my toddler and the pancakes were delish!
The service is good (they try to please customers).
Sidenote: Obviously the owners have a theme when hiring staff — all the floor staff are women (girls) seemingly under 20, attractive and uber-thin. So, its a bit weird when you walk in, there is a bit of feeling like you're at auditions for NZ's Next Top Model. Maybe hiring some normal-looking people would change that....So that's a leeeetle bit creepy but doesn't change the good coffee and good food.
This place rocks! The food, the service, the staff all make it the best in the area.
Love the coffee and always found the staff to be quick and attentive. I know if I had a problem the owner would sort it immediately.
Go there .. you'll love it.
The food, the coffee, the smoothies, and staff are always fabulous, food comes out quick, gorgeous presentation. Busy little place. I love it. Fabulous value for money.
Was a bit worried after reading recent reviews. But we were pleasantly surprised that the Rubys remains the same
Quality it always has been.
Great food great service. dog friendly! Kid friendly. Excellent choctober options.
Hadn't eaten at Ruby's for a while since Covid and their change of ownership/management. I had brunch there with a big group and I was very impressed with the service. The waitress managed to get all of our orders right and remembered what we all ate when we went to pay. I had a mix of the veggie and big breakfast and it was a very generous portion size and very yummy. Coffee was good too 👍
Lovely café. Delicious food, generous portions. Staff awesome
Wow! So much food, and so delicious!
We stopped by in Level 2, so had the usual Covid restrictions, but the staff were great, friendly, and efficient.
I was unsure between the "Fry Up"and 'the big breakfast"; I went for the Fry Up and was not disappointed! It came out really quickly, it looked good, and tasted great.
I also went for an iced chocolate which I didn't realise would be the size of a miniature Empire State building! Needless to say it to was amazing with loads of ice cream, cream, and chocolate!
I can recommend both of these.
We'll be back again.
Excellent service, great food 👌
Well priced thank you team.
Great breakfast! And also last time Delicious lunch, a hearty fry up, well suited to the winter weather. And a great mocha as well as friendly service. Will go back!

Really good coffee, very good portion for $5.00 coffee locally
The cabinet food was pretty interesting as well with lots of keto slices.
This is a sausage roll and a quiche
As always wonderful staff, great food. Lovely company. Food always worth the wait when busy.
Good kiwi breakfast 🍳
Coffee was awesome as well.
Request to chef to make some improvement in their sourdough bread.
Had scambled eggs on toast, can't complain. Probably not the best thing to review
Coffee on point.

Staff are really friendly, food was amazing. Vege breakfast is a must, very filling and good value for price.
Coffee is really good too and well presented.
Happy to go back again
Big breakfast and coffee.
Breakfast was huge and tasted great. The in store made beans were not for me.
Good coffee to.
Mid-week brunch, so the cafe was not busy. Fantastic service from Cassidy, she was welcoming, friendly and efficient with a great smile. A real credit to the cafe. Fabulous hot coffees delivered within minutes, and highly recommend the rosti lunch stack, it was delicious. Worth being patient at busy times, just like most popular cafes.
