Reviews of Rod And Ruby's

Rob and Ruby’s have now been open for nearly four years, I first visited when they opened, and they have gone from strength to strength, having survived all the covid restrictions with lockdowns and take away only. They just launched their new paninis which are based on Focaccia bread with delightful fillings. The paninis are made to order and available in with meaty fillings, plant based and two vegan options. I had two, the Mamma with ham, pecorino cheese, sun dried tomatoes and salad. And the plant-based Firenze with peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes peppers and salad. They also serve great Italian coffee with Cakes and Italian delicacies for a lighter snack. Seating outside and in plus take away. Highly recommended This was my previous review This is a new start up cafe and my second visit of many to come. Located in the harbourside and Anchor Road. I had the meal deal with freshly made panini,high quality crisps and tea. Highly recommended and the service was excellent and the team is friendly and knowledgeable. As you can see in the image a 3pin if socket and sub for those on the go and mobile.

Not the biggest, but not lacking in delicious coffee and pastries, as well as a friendly team. It hasn't got quite the atmosphere of my absolute favourite Bristol cafes, but nonetheless, it's very good. A good place to sit and relax if you're around Millennium square. I highly recommend the amazing cannoli

It's a really nice place to just sit and relax (went on a Saturday morning), and it is laptop friendly. The coffee seems ethically sourced (although I am big light roast fan, which they don't have on that day)--the mug of coffee is big and warm, just like the shop keepers. I think he is the owner but I didn't confirm with him. I'm a tourist and not likely a returning customer, but he still gave me an extra boat tart on the house. They were good. It's an inclusive and welcoming place!

Update Nov 2022: again very pleasant kind polite service and nice coffee and small cheaper cake or piece of cake, such option makes it a good option in that way too. Another 5 stars! a year on. Thank you to the cafe and its staff here. Very good, I reckon. 2021 original review was : Nice coffee, served in very simple polite good way, very pleasant relaxed atmosphere, and kind polite respectful staff. In nice modern style location behind the Cathedral over the road here. Tasty looking panini/panino just about to enjoy too I think. Will be coming again!, I think. Nice outdoor seating options too. Simple small modern decor place, with good nice coffee, and more. A nice quiet music mix too for an alternative to others about in the 2020s.

I had a delicious mocha with oat milk, a tasty apricot pastry and service with a smile from the lovely Emily. On top of this, a couple of buttery, vanilla biscuits were also thrown in, as a complimentary treat from her. If your ever in Bristol, this is a perfect place for a short rest, snack and pick me up. Very impressed.

This little gem in the heart of Bristol is the perfect place for any necessity. Whether you are looking for a quiet space to remote work or somewhere where to grab your lunch, this stylish cafe is what you are looking for. Great coffee, delicious panini and pastries and Italian hospitality, what more could you ask for?

Have to agree with their humble sign "best coffee in town". It truly is. A hidden gem, that those who found it, probably kept it to themselves. With my first visit I met many regulars and barista definitely knows it's masterful coffee skills. Simple, but altogether elegant interior really helps to unnoticeable spent few hours here. Love the choise of connoli - instantly reminds me while I liked Italy so much. Come in, fall in love and keep this secret to yourself, but maybe bring your best friend here too! ;)

Really nice little coffee shop. We ordered a Hot Chocolate, Flat White and Mocha which all tasted delicious. Initially, I wanted cream on my hot chocolate but the nozzle was broke so went without. After about 10 minutes and me already finishing my Hot Chocolate, the gentlemen behind the till came running over with another hot chocolate and cream and said I he fixed the nozzle so I could have this one for free. Really generous of him, great service. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic little cafe very close to Millennium Square and the waterfront. Lovely Italian sandwiches and pastries, and great coffee. There's also a good value meal deal; sandwich, pastry and coffee for £4.99. Service has been great on both occasions I've been. Airy, modern building with a fairly small seating area and a lots of power/USB points if you're bringing a laptop. Highly recommended.
