Ruben's Bakehouse

We have always loved Ruben's sourdough loaves and pastries with their amazing flavours and textures. During lockdown we have also been eating the delicious take away sourdough pizzas every month or so and would recommend to anyone who likes a pizza dough with a bit of chew - not too hard, not too soft - combined with toppings which are a joy to the tastebuds.

We have been ordering Gluten Free pizza's from Ruben's during the lockdown as a Friday night treat. I have to say that gluten free pizza is normally a waste of time, because they just don't work. Luckily for us the fabulous people at Ruben's seem to have figured it out. They cook them in a foil tray so we know that they have taken great care and are not sitting in wheat flour from the other pizza's. I had assumed that pizza was a thing of a past for me and my daughter, but apparently not! If you need to be gluten free and you would like a good pizza then this is the place for you!

This place is a great place as it always has fresh bread and pastries and has a very good location as it has the river Thames about 100 metres from it, located in twickenham Highway it is a perfect place to get a morning loaf. Another plus of its location is that it has got two large rugby stadiums right next to it, this is perfect for when you want a fresh and quick bite with the boys. Overall great😌🙂👌

I have been living in Twickenham for the past 4 years. As a healthy food lover, I can easily say that Rubens has the best breakfast in the area. However the prices may scare you a bit, I can assure you they are justified by the quality of the products. Their Italian twist on the full English is simply fantastic. You pay an extra £2 compared to other places and get sourdough bread, massive beans, organic sausage... If you are in a rush and don't care about what you are about to eat, go elsewhere.. I love this place for a lazy weekend breakfast with friends. The place is cozy and however young, the staff is helpful and happy to fix any issue may arise. Mario was particularly kind and patient when dealing with my critics, that was very nice to see! If you are around the area don't miss this hidden gem!

We go there at least once a week for coffee and croissants. Their almond croissants are excellent. In summer we sit outside at the pavement side tables and watch the world go by. The service is friendly and prompt. The bread they bake there is pretty good. If Heath Road was a nicer place it would easily be a 5 star experience.

Service is a bit hit and miss, in a charming sort of way. But this is totally forgivable as soon as you taste the pizza, its glorious, a triumph of wood fired deliciousness! Also can't recommend the full Italian breakfast enough, lovey was to start a Sunday. The coffee is a little bit of a let down, for an Italian I would expect better.
