"Everything about Ruba’s is easy to love: the incredible breakfast, delicious French press coffee, and, of course, homemade pastries. The character of this renovated house from the 1940s is also charming and inviting, a place where out-of-towners and locals return time after time to eat shirred eggs baked in tomato sauce with poblano pepper and chorizo for boozy brunches. Given the success of the morning menu, it’s easy to forget about Ruba’s lunch and dinner offerings, which would be a mistake thanks to specialties like wood-fired thin-crust pizzas. And of course there’s always dessert: Spring for the renowned croissants, decadent guava roll, or peanut butter concha." - Nili Blanck
