"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
"This bakery in San Jose’s Gallery District serves an American-style menu in one of the city’s oldest buildings. At breakfast, we like the avocado toast with a poached egg that teeters on top of two stacked slices of Ruba’s own bread, or a croissant with maracuya mascarpone. If you’re looking for an easy lunch or dinner, they also do thin-crust pizzas baked in a wood oven and topped with leafy greens. And you should know about the full-service bar that operates from 8am-10pm, because vacation. photo credit: Michael Vos" - Nili Blanck
"There's sure to be a crowd at this Arts District charmer, housed in a casita dating back to the 1940s. The space is fronted by umbrella-shaded tables facing a papel picado-strewn street. Inside and out back, it's all quite comfortable.This casual bistro serves throughout the day, and there is a coffee counter and display case of conchas, croissants and donuts, among other treats. More substantial offerings include cheese and charcuterie, salads, sandwiches and wood-fired pizza. At brunch, order the chilaquiles (available only Friday-Sunday), served in a skillet with crisp yellow corn tortilla chips soaked in a morita chile sauce, accompanied by diced bits of roasted lamb and a Valle de Guadalupe-style consommé. The freshly baked bolillo is great for dipping in the broth." - Michelin Inspector
