Ruby Red Cafe

Consistently favourite stop - by for coffee and people - watch. Cheerful and bright staff and clientele.

A bit disappointed with the service. We have been sitting in the cafe for 5 mins and no staff pay attention to us. We had to ask for the menu, water and everything ourself. Expect better service for the price we paid.

First time here. Appears to be very popular. Extensive menu at reasonable prices. Also good cabinet choice. Would go in again for lunch if in the area.

Always a favorite place to meet friends, drink coffee and grab a snack or meal.

17Oct16 I've been here three times - each time during the week and the last two times on a Wednesday nights. On those nights the restaurant was very empty. But the food is fast and fantastic. I can never get enough of the rice here, very nice. Great, attentive, service too. There is carparking at the rear.

Hot chips and aiole go down a treat on a Sunday morning ;)

Good price, good food and generous portions. French toast is a good pick.

Awesome little cafe. Good coffee, food and vibes. Slightly expensive though

Lovely lunch in the sun... first time in Mangere Bridge, doesn't feel like Auckland...and that's a good thing!

Delicious food and drinks. Vibrant atmosphere and fast service. Also very reasonable prices.

Fantastic always enjoy a mocha and meet up with friends

Great coffee and food-best in area that we found on our stay

Normally a favourite when I am spending time in mangere bridge. Unfortunately the service is terrible since change of ownership. Took half an hour to receive a milky coffee. Very frustrating watching others get their coffees who have ordered well after us. Understandable if they were busy but they are not. Very disappointed.

Fresh delicious food excellent service outside seating

Love to meet my friends there for a coffee and scone and catch up

Streetside Cafe. The panini was nice. Good coffee. They closed at 3pm, so we had to leave. We'd arrived about 2pm. The seating is limited. Mostly old stuff. Definitely up to the job. Just not likely to exceed expectations. The staff are friendly when ordering and indifferent afterwards.

Great food and Customer service I recommend there menu and coffee

Bit disappointed today as food was nice service was good but portion size was not value for money

The service is always quick and no major waiting time on food arriving. The different foods I've ordered are tasty!!!

It was a good place to have lunch while in the area.

Great service and food at a good price. Nice coffee too

Good environment and service ok . Pity about the other customers behaviour and lack of attempt to get others to be considerent

I think the people are lovely. The food is lovely and the servings are HUGE!! The atmosphere is lovely and it is clean and tidy. My only turn off is the toilet door is wide open and it cant be closed because it is also the back door. So you can literally eat your food looking at the toilet sink. It's a HUGE turn off. I would have recommended our meeting be taken elsewhere if I had time to change it. It for that reason do I give a 2. I thought you had to have 2 doors to the toilet???

Great food, service and vibe. Very much enjoy this place

Great food selection and great coffee. Friendly staff.

Average coffee, bacon buttie, and service. Plenty of better places to go nearby.

Never been there before. What a lovely pleasant smile and additue the lady had who served us.. Food and coffee was great too.. i will visit again soon...

Cute little cafe in Mangere Bridge shopping area. Good quality and friendly service.

Such great food especially the steak . $20 for a big plate. And it's yum!

Aukei price but only gave one piece of toast with their breakfast meal. Not good enough

Nice local cafe that does a great cup of coffee. The menu is concise with typical cafe fare at reasonable prices. They also have a well stocked cabinet of sandwiches, cakes and pastries with gluten free and organic food well catered for. On a warm day, grab up one of their outdoor tables or sit inside for cosy comfort when the weather is cool.

nice rustic sort of place. closes quite early though

Home of one of the best French Toast meals you will ever eat. Friendly staff, and great service; Ruby Red is definitely worth a visit if you're traveling through Mangere Bridge.

Visited this cafe Saturday 24th June and ordered coffee and food to take away. The services was great, really friendly and welcoming. They accidentally left a cookie out of our order. Sunday the 25th we stopped in on way to a seminar to get coffee and they remembered and handed over the cookie with apologies. It was nice to come across such a nice cafe with great food and service.

Lovely food! It s always fresh and hot. Corn fritters are a favourite of mine - they re packed with goodness and come paired with a lovely relish. The coffee is more than halfway decent (excellent in my opinion) and I ll admit, I cannot resist their gingerbread men. The staff are friendly and always provide quality service.

One of the best places for coffee and food not too bad as well. It's not flashy but comfortable enough to grab coffee with a friend.

Yummy French toast with bacon and a delish sweetened yogurt. Chai latte was good too. Quick service considering they were really busy.

Good range of food. Staff pleasant. Clean. Busy. Great neighbour hood cafe.

When you're not feeling as frugal as I am most days, head to Ruby Red and treat yourself to the Big Breakfast. A slight up-grade from the casual mixed grill. Comes with a gourmet pork sausage (gf), roast potatoes, creamy mushroom (nice and light), bacon, eggs (any style), wholegrain toast with butter and tomato. Gotta give butter some cred, doesn't come cheap these days. A decent sized plate of brekkie goodness so make sure to go on an empty stomach!

Lovely place. Today we just had coffee which was excellent. Food looked good as well but wrong time of day for us .

Delightful local cafe packed with locals and imports great variety of goodies big pot of hot tea. Nice agreeable service lovely spot on cold sunny day.
