Ruby's Cafe

Very friendly staff welcomed us in! We were able to dine in and have coffee and sandwiches! Sandwich tasted amazing! It is worth to try!

Perfect stop for breakfast convenient to the Amtrak station. Delicious breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and an assortment of coffees. Courteous, gracious staff!

A wonderful full service cafe. The kindest staff, very comfortable personal cafe. The food and drinks are also great, whether to stay or to go! The owner even works the counter and often checks in on you while you're waiting on your food or drink. Great group of people, truly one of the best (maybe actually the best) down-to-earth cafe in the area.

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.

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!

Such a beautiful cafe and the most friendly staff. Tried the Ruby’s veggie sandwich and it was amazing with the homemade hot salsa. Definitely a gem in Emeryville, a must go.

Their menu on their website is a little out of date with prices but the food was still good. I got a croissant sandwich and smoothie plus tip made my simple lunch a $20 meal.

Owner (Albert) was so gracious (even when I broke the toilet handle!) -- a native of NY, he has a wonderful Cafe that exudes that NY flair, with awesome foods and drinks! Ruby's Cafe is located in an easy-to-reach location and street parking is pretty accessible. Price was right for excellent food and ambience! Thanks AR!

Was looking for a place for breakfast after an appointment at Stanford Health and found Ruby’s Cafe. So glad we did! The owner was fantastic and the food was delicious. Top notch service. The onion bagel with all the right stuff - cream cheese, capers and tomatoes hit the spot while reminding me of the he bagel shops I loved as a kid. The egg and chorizo croissant was tasty! Thanks Ruby’s Cafe!

Our first time here party of three, Great spot for a delicious Hot Macha and a satisfying morning frittata! Great atmosphere and service, great homemade spicy salsa. Wonderful! Luv it! We will be back

Originally had the GPS to go to a big chain cafe for breakfast, as our Amtrak was delayed and we didn't know the area, and came across Ruby's cafe on route. So very glad we stopped here instead. Chai lattes were perfectly made, and the bagel with butter and jam was yum! Service was faultless; the atmosphere was chilled and friendly - the man who bought our bagels was very hospitable and friendly (may have been the owner or manager). It seemed homely, with customers and staff interacting like old friends. We loved it. If we ever return to this state, we'd have no hesitation but to return here for a meal. Best wishes.

Delicious food and very friendly staff. I enjoy the El Fuego sandwich and sitting in the lovely cafe. The owner/manager is very kind and accommodating for groups and special requests etc

I showed up, unknowingly, a few minutes after closing time. On finding out that they had just closed, I was about to leave, but the owner, Albert, insisted that I not walk out hungry. He recommended a sandwich, and seated me at a table. I felt taken care of that day.

This was a lovely little find, with amazing people and delicious cappuccino! Get the bagel and lox!

Perfect place to stop in before the Amtrak! All of the workers are kind and gave us the best breakfast sandwhich and burrito. You can get some really hot salsa with it! Coffee setup is amazing, too. I can't wait to come again when I'm in the area next.

One of our favorite places to grab coffee and a bite! The staff is really friendly and the cafe itself is cozy and comfortable. It's spacious and there's plenty of parking across the street, sound the corner, and they have 15 minute parking out front. Highly recommend the white chocolate mocha and chicken El Fuego sandwich!

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!

Good but not spectacular food. Still an old-timer in the neighborhood so it earns our support. They could up their coffee game a bit (no medium roast?)

They hollow out their bagels and load it with cream cheese. I’m sure the rest of the menu is good, but this is a disgrace to bagels especially for nearly $6
