If you've ever thought "gluten-free, vegan, AND nut-free? That's gotta taste like cardboard," let me introduce you to Ruby's Baking Co. where Chelsea--the absolute ray of sunshine behind the counter--proves us all so wrong. I've eaten, ordered, and visited more times than I can count (seriously, I've lost track... and maybe my self-control too).
The moment you walk in, you're hit with the most AMAZING smell--like a warm, sweet cloud of freshly baked heaven. Honestly, if they bottled that scent, I'd wear it as perfume. It's impossible to leave empty-handed when the air itself is practically whispering, "Just one more treat..."
Let's talk about the Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls--they're like a warm hug from a strawberry in pastry form. And don't get me started on the Red Velvet Donuts... soft, rich, and they'll make you question every other donut you've ever loved. The Raspberry Lemon Loaf? Basically, summer in a slice. Even the "regular" cinnamon roll is anything but regular.
The vibes? Immaculate. It's the kind of place where you walk in for "just one treat" and leave with a box full of goodies and a heart full of happiness after a lil' chat with Chelsea. She's the type of person who remembers your name, your favorite treat, and probably your life story if you visit as much as I do.
Bottom line: if you haven't been yet, what are you even doing with your life?
