Matcha latte with a puppy drawn in the foam

Coffee, matcha and mimosas

Lattes come with a paw print in the foam, and the matcha latte with a whole puppy face. There are caffeine-free golden and butterfly pea lattes, cold matchas with strawberry or mango, smoothies, and for the weekend: mimosas, Ruby’s Spritz, brunch cocktails (some by the pitcher) and alcohol-free mocktails.

Brunch with your dog (or without)

Ruby Café MTL is inside Doggieville MTL, so dogs are welcome inside all year, right at the table. Water bowls are waiting when you sit down, there are hooks for the leash, and the dog menu has Woof Meat Balls, Woof Loaf, Pawfles and pup cakes. No dog? You’re just as welcome: most of our guests come for the brunch.
