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.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

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!
