M.

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.

Good service, friendly staff. Portion size is very generous and food very tasty. I ordered feta cheese and spinach omelette and was very satisfied once i finished. I also ordered a yoghurt smoothie and was very nice; it's also huge so probably don't order smoothie and a meal as its too much. They follow covid rules. Very happy with this place. Definitely coming back.

J.

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

N.

Good kiwi breakfast 🍳 Coffee was awesome as well. Request to chef to make some improvement in their sourdough bread.

L.

Wow what a find, lovely staff and beautifully cooked meals. We found it just before Christmas on our way to Welly, will definitely return. Food was fresh, tasty and plenty of it. Well done, a very pleasant experience, thank you.

S.

Easy parking, friendly staff, lovely private dining experience. Absolutely amazing portions for the price. We staggered out with full tummies and a doggy bag. Totally reccomend.

S.

Big breakfast and coffee. Breakfast was huge and tasted great. The in store made beans were not for me. Good coffee to.

I.

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

G.

This is a hidden gem (unless of course you live in Mana) but not a secret. First came here last year with a mate and was wowed by the service and the food. The staff are great and just damned friendly. I can also recommend the eggs bene which I always het now 😋.

N.

Very good service, friendly, thoughtful.... Just outstanding!

L.

As always wonderful staff, great food. Lovely company. Food always worth the wait when busy.

A.

•This is the best cafe around 😍 •What an amazing food and presentation makes it more delicious •Amazing customer service by the super friendly staff •Good outside and inside seating space •Big fan of their coffee now My every weekend spot from now on 💯 *Highly Recommend*

C.

The table we were seated at was dirty, cleaned it myself and there was something yellow on the table. Totally unacceptable especially in covid times. Server was unapproachable hence not asking her to clean it (which we shouldn’t have to) The cutlery arrived with napkins and salt and pepper in one bucket. Also unsanitary as multiple people will be using that salt and pepper then expecting diners to wipe their mouths with the napkins. Food came promptly though and was delicious. Our server didn’t come and ask how it was and I also noticed she cleared the table behind us but did not wipe or actually clean it at all. All in all food was really enjoyable but hygiene standards are not up to par to which they should be.

J.

Very lovely people my lunch was lovely good service that was my first time there very nice and clean and I rate them AAA +

M.

BLT was ok. Bread was too crispy for my liking. It was drowning in mayo or aoli whatever it was. Service was good although level 2 Delta & our table had 2 servers 🙄 Atmosphere was nice. Coffee long black was to die for really 👍

m.

Reserved a table for 7 of us nice menu food and also have cabinet food reasonably priced, table service

F.

Food was great, nice to sit outside in the courtyard - ice coffee not great - more like a milkshake, next time I'll be more specific. Recommend.

L.

Great service and tasty food every time I visit. Plenty of GF options on the menu and in the cabinet. Thanks Ruby's, you're awesome!

A.

Fantastic little place was excellent food and great service

D.

This place is awsome without a doubt good food excellent staff i thoroughly recommend this cafe i have never had a bad experience here and i like the coffee everything is yummy

C.

Fantastic vege breakfast, not ideal if u not a big eater but they will give u a takeaway box.

D.

Good service and friendly staff, always good food, usually very busy on the weekends, proving how popular the Cafe is.

D.

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.

D.

Awesome, lovely menu, good crowd, nice fitout, great staff. Got a huge bill on leaving, $120 but realized on exit that there were four mains that weren't ours, staff were extremely apologetic and quickly reimbursed us. The $45 was excellent for coffees a main and kids meals. Recommended.

m.

Food was good. Atmosphere and vibe not quite there but still enjoyed ourselves time thete

S.

Great value for money, food looked amazing. A little more seasoning would have been good.

D.

Nice coffee, friendly staff and great fruit smoothies and iced coffee.

N.

Very nice lunch with family service was little slow but worth the wait in the end.

F.

5/5 Staff are amazing! One of my favourite places to go for my morning coffee!

P.

Great service , delicious food and excellent presentation.

K.

I had a nice lunch in their backyard with friends, and it was yummy.

A.

The food and the service here was very good. Thank you Ruby's 😊

F.

Great counter food options covering a wide range of options and appetites (e.g. small and larger items available), savoury and sweet plus keto. Yum. Good realistic pricing too! (Was looking for quick options so didn't check out menu, it's probably great too!)

R.

Yum hot chocolate with extras, and only $3 in Saturday

A.

beautiful place, lovely staff. highly recommended

D.

n.

P.

Ruby's was delightful. Iced chocolates for my daughter and me and a fluffy more my little grandson. So yummy!

K.

Staff always happy, perfect coffee

A.

Huge, yummy brunch meals, great service and a good price. Totally recommended!

P.

The food and coffee were excellent but they need some heating out in the side area as it was quite cold. Inside was full and they were busy. Good place to stop on the way north from Wellington.

L.

Top notch food and service. Large outdoor area but watch the seagulls after the bacon and very close to the wonderful Magpie gift shop.

C.

Had a lovely Father's Day lunch. We were a group of 7. Everything was delicious and the meals all came out at the same time. Lovely place and staff were all delightful.

W.

I went to this place for coffee only and to meet a friend. Took me a few minutes to find the place as it is at the end of an off street car oark. Coffee was good and service was fine and the pricing good ( would have like larger cups) but thats minor. One concern that I had, was as I have a hearing problem, i found the place a bit noisy with the contant thumping of the grinder etc. A small issue. If you can find the place then try it its ok.

A.

It was a pretty good experience. The food was nice. It was around 8am and on the day I went I felt they could have benefited from an additional staff member to take orders etc as while the guy was making coffees no orders were being taken and vice versa so things were a little slow.

H.

Great food, excellent service

D.

Lovely service, strongest long black I have had in a while, and really well made. Food was great, both our choices were very tasty, not too big to not finish, but more than enough to satisfy!

G.

All good , nice big breakfast

L.

Pretty good! Staff are friendly and helpful.

L.

Great place for brunch. Outdoor seating so on a sunny day can avoid the noise inside when it's busy. Be wary that it can be very noisy inside if you go on the weekends.

G.

Staff are always so nice and i'm never disappointed with the food or coffee!

K.

Great for brunch! Family friendly atmosphere and great outdoor space.

N.

Great place for a blowaway spider, only qent as I have a Ruby, the eggs bene was fab and the coffee is gooooood!

M.

Had a very lovely Salmon and spinach flan. My friend had a croissant sandwich which they unfortunately heated up in the panini press, thus ruining the croissant effect. Nice little terrasse away from traffic and coastal wind.

E.

Nice cosy local cafe. Table service a bit underwhelming - took a long time to come take an order and forgot my companion's coffee completely. Good, solid food.

R.

Great service & food, coffee
