"What It Is: An all-day Australian spot in Santa Monica Perfect For: Casual Midweek Dinner, Coffee And A Light Bite, Breakfast Little Ruby is yet another Australian cafe, and this new Santa Monica spot serves mostly stuff you’d expect: avocado and vegemite toasts, healthy sounding bowls, and of course, excellent coffee. On our visit, we didn’t see a whole lot that differentiates Little Ruby from the rest of the Aussie cafes in LA, except the fact that it’s open at night, when they serve burgers and pastas. Overall, this is a good option for breakfast in Santa Monica, but if you’re specifically looking for an Australian cafe, there are better options around. Verdict: A fine spot for daytime food, but not the best Australian cafe around." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, brett keating
