Ruby's Cafe

6233 Hollis St, Emeryville, CA

★★★★★4.6(217 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

This Emeryville neighborhood gem strikes a perfect balance between a quick caffeine stop and a lingering brunch destination, where the real stars are the thoughtfully executed breakfast dishes like frittatas and breakfast burritos alongside quality matcha and chai lattes. The owners and staff create a genuinely warm, family-friendly atmosphere that keeps people coming back, whether you're fueling up solo or settling in for an unhurried morning with friends. While the coffee itself is solid rather than exceptional, Ruby's truly shines as a full breakfast and lunch cafe where fresh, homemade touches—like their spicy salsa—make every visit feel personal.

Had a breakfast here and enjoyed the granola with fruit and yoghurt as well as a decaf cappuccino. Staff were very friendly and I enjoyed the atmosphere.

Great breakfast/lunch cafe, but coffee was ok. Breakfast burrito, chai latte, and frittata on sesame bagel were phenomenal. Value was OK. Service was great and quick!

I had just been at Stanford Ortho & was famished. I asked the Valet if there was a place to eat. Ruby's Cafe was just a block away. It gave me a chance to try a new restaurant. The owners were so nice. I had trouble opening the GF peanut butter cookie that was wrapped & they did it for me. We joked how we take our arms for granted. The latte was delicious. We each had different entrees. Me Avacado toast I can't wait to try this at home, yum! My honey had the breastfast chorizo sandwich and a cinammon roll. What a nice local treat. If you are in the area, do stop in. Seating both inside and outside. They had a whole table with to go orders. Plus, people waiting for take out orders. Some customers were enjoying coffee and working. Very relaxing environment.

We went here on a Friday afternoon for a quick bite. They have a lot of sandwich options as well as other items. We got the fresh mozzarella sandwich and it was a refreshing sandwich. I also got a Flornetine cookie. Big open space with plenty of seating available. This place is also dog friendly! Staff was nice, friendly and quick with our order. Recommended!
