    This place is cool. We have already made return visits here and we will definitely be back. The employees are really nice and helpful. They keep customers moving through with a smile. Our orders have all been correct. Our drinks have all been delicious. The vibe here fits with the beachfront location. They have murals on the walls featuring tropical vegetation. It feels like "happy vacation" was the theme. The place is clean. They have a 97.5 sanitation grade. They have a limited food menu. They sell honey, T-shirts, and some other merchandise items. You should definitely check this little spot out!

    Nice coffee spot. Small but mighty. Parking lot can be a pain. Very close to the ocean which was nice. Waited a bit for my order. They were out of grits by the time I got up there. I ordered a few breakfast items and a coffee. Got my coffee first and then waited an additional 15 mins for my food which was a little annoying since I wanted to enjoy it all together.

    Super cute cafe right on beach connected to the fishing pier and Koko Canbano restaurant. It's an aqua building. There's a parking lot but I am sure it can get busy. You can also access this from the beach! Super convenient. They do have indoor seating available. Super cute decor. The menu offers coffees, teas, lattes, etc (typical coffee shop drinks), as well as good options such as bagels, toasts, French toast, etc. There's also specialty drinks they create. Ordered raspberry white chocolate latte (yum) and an Americano. The Americano wasn't very strong, but was good. Great location and good drinks and good options. They even sell merchandise. Lovely local cafe to support.

    Such a cute coffee shop right on the beach! I stayed on Oak Island for the weekend and ended up coming here both mornings with friends. It has a very casual vibe inside, and the breakfast sandwiches hit the spot. We ended up taking the coffee to go for a beach walk. (There is convenient access to the beach right outside Ruby's). Loved it!

    Snicker's Latte! I don't think one can find something like this up here in the north east. Rich and light at the same time. Truly refreshing in the suffocating humidity facing us here in Oak Island. Wait was long enough to walk the furry pets but not too long for their discomfort. A popular Cafe among locals and vacationers alike. My kids came back here couple more times during our visit.

    Tried the cutest coffee shop in Oak Island. Right on the beach and serving up the best coffee. Perfect way to start the day before starting your beach day. You can also take your drink and food on the pier and watch the water.

    A new favorite coffee shop for me! Rubys is a hidden gem on the pier right behind koko cabana. I had the white chocolate raspberry latte and it was seriously the best coffee I've ever had! Met the owner as well who was super sweet and thanked us for coming in.

    The actual shop is really cute & the employees are really nice. However I wasn't impressed with the food or drinks. My husband and I both got matchas that weren't the best & the egg & cheese sandwich was pretty bland.

    Beautiful cafe right by the pier. The staff were cheery and friendly even when the line got out the door. Drink and food were quick and delicious!

    Bees Knees Iced Coffee

    Great spot right on the pier. It's a small space, busy with activity but the staff is kind and quick. Iced coffees are great, also the egg and cheese sandwich and the granola croissant!

    Breakfast picnic on the beach! Bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwich.

    We are so excited to be back at Oak Island and one of the reasons is so we can visit Ruby's in the mornings. Our first morning here did not disappoint. We had two delicious lattes and breakfast bagel sandwiches.

    Ruby's is a super cute coffee shop right on the waterfront by Oak Island Pier. We stopped in to grab a quick coffee before taking a walk down the pier and on the beach. We got a Honey Vanilla Latte and a Caramel Macchiato, both iced. They were good, but nothing remarkable. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. The prices are very reasonable for both the food and drinks, we didn't try any food but we will next time!

    Their open faced croissant with goat cheese and blueberries is to die for. I would eat this every day if I could. And it's so affordable!

    Tiny little coffee shop with a little bit of seating. Food was pretty good, but I think they are more geared towards their drinks.

    Do they sell fresh roasted coffee beans?

    Yes! Rubys sells coffee beans that are roasted right in Wilmington at Luna Caffe.

    Wonderful experience!!!…read more The restaurant is so cute! Very spacious, clean, fun decorations and playing country music. The ladies who work there are so nice and personable!!! They have lots of sweets available: soooo many flavors of truffles, cheese cake, a whole display of taffy (you can fill up a bag of any flavors for $10). They also have a case of ice cream. We went for breakfast. They had soooo many coffee options and so many flavors to add. They also have a case of donuts and muffins. Lots of flavors. The glaze donut was soooo good. Not cakey at all and not too sweet. Very light and flakey! We also got a muffin that was delicious- very moist! Would go back!

    The service is terrible. I went there on a busy morning and one of the baristas continued to take…read moreorders incorrectly but the patrons were blamed. Before I ordered a couple ordered two drinks and one of them hot but they made the other drink hot. First they argued with the customers then they slammed the wrong drink into the trashcan. Then I ordered by drink with two flavors and cold foam. When they gave me my drink it didn't have cold foam and I said "I'm so sorry I requested cold foam" and the baristas snapped at me "no you didn't" then I looked confused and they said "well you didn't pay for it." The cold foam is a 75 cent up charge which I would have happily paid but they rang me up wrong then embarrassed me in front of the rest of the customers. I will NOT be back.
