Ruth & Dean - Luncheonette & Bakery

This is my favourite cafe for excellent lattes in real crockery. Yesterday, Saturday, was their cinnamon buns morning, the best I have ever tasted. I love their cakes...and ...their soups are divine. I have soup there for lunch all the time, it comes with a toasted buttered baguette. Perfect. Socially distanced seating feels safe; staff is friendly, excellent about sanitizing. I like to sit outside under a beautiful old tree with chattering ravens. Makes my morning.

LOVE Ruth & Dean! I received a custom birthday cake from R&D and it was amazing - it was moist, not too sweet and of course, beautiful. Also a great spot for brunch or a mid-day coffee and dessert. You can't go wrong!

Tasty drinks and delicious sandwiches. Certainly a worthy successor to the previous establishment at this location. This corner lot is great for people-watching; enjoy the relaxed and quiet bustle of residents before wandering down for a walk on the beach.

Had their breakfast sandwich. Very yummy. Blueberry muffin was good. Coffee was good. Free refills! Friendly staff. A bit pricey.

Beautiful ambience. The food is a bit overpriced, but the breakfast sandwich (at $10) is the best deal. Served on an amazing cheese scone, egg perfectly cooked, fresh hummus, avocado, and tomato. Their coffee isn't as good as some of the other local staples, but it was so nice they stayed open through COVID (take-out) and are back up and running safely. Kudos to this local shop!
