A Journey Through Artisan Baking and Bistro Flavors

Traditional baking is the foundation of the menu, and the time given to slow fermentation matters. Naturally fermented sourdough brings depth of flavor to the sandwiches and brunch dishes, giving the bread a role well beyond holding everything together. After dark, the kitchen turns to the high heat of its wood-fired ovens for rustic bistro cooking, keeping fresh, local ingredients at the center of the evening menu.

Inside, the historic building gives Rubas much of its warmth and character, while sunny street-side tables put you close to the daily life of the Art District. Settle in with a grapefruit coffee and watch the neighborhood move around you. It's easy to see why both locals and visitors make a ritual of stopping here.

Take a look at the day's pastry selection, explore the bistro menu, or keep your visit simple and stop in for a morning coffee.

Despite the relaxed atmosphere, Rubas gets busy. Expect a lively line for morning pastries, and make a reservation if you're planning to return for an evening bistro table.
