Ruggles Cafe It is incredibly delicious! My favorites are the desserts!! The Red Velvet Cake is amazing! The food is really good too but pretty pricy. But very nice atmosphere for a nice lunch.

Great place for a meal or a desert I've been to Ruggles for everything from food to dessert. I have yet to be disappointed. They have a great selection of food, an even better location, and is available for both sit down eating or to go. Best of all, their prices are very reasonable.

I'm so there! – Wandering aimlessly down Rice Blvd. will lead you in either of two directions: into Hermann Park, or to a place where great food, wine and class meet: Ruggles Café and Bakery in the Rice Village. Quite a popular establishment, Ruggles offers some of the best food in Houston and uses the finest and freshest ingredients. The downside of its popularity is that the line is often out the door. Luckily, superb service makes the daunting wait fly by with a quick and accurate cashier staff and a simply amazing cookin... read more

Yay for BYOW – My friends and I love to go to Ruggles before going out to midtown for the night. It is a great place to bring a bottle of wine (there is no corking fee), order a slice of cake, and hang out with friends. We have never had a bad experience.

Good food! – Ruggles has really good food at decent prices. I go by there a couple of times a week since it's very convenient for me. You really need to try their desserts if you. All of them! lol The service could be better but it's a small complaint.

Have had serveral great meals there – I am frequently making business trips to the Houston medical center and I almost always find myself coming to Ruggles Cafe Bakery. In fact I ate there just last week. The food is wonderful and the desserts are fabulous. I can see why it is often busy during lunch. I always have a quality meal and look forward to my next visit.

I was a customer for two years – I was an almost daily customer of this restaurant until a few months back. This restaurant first attracted me for its fresh food, convenience and price but lately it has been suffering from bad food and service. I went there for almost two years at least 2 times a week so what I experienced is hardly coincidence. First I had an incident with one of the busboys when he made a comment about me moving to a different table and leaving a napkin on the other one. Something like ?Please, I just clea... read more

Great To Bad – We once again gave Ruggles Cafe Bakery another try. It had been a favorite for so long and we were hoping the last couple of disappointing meals there were just flukes. So here we go again - beautiful Sunday afternoon, sit ourdoors, we planned enjoy a late lunch with our family. Two of us ordered tomato basil soup. It was lukewarm- at best. Sweet potato fries no where near hot - left that gross film of oil on the roof of my mouth after eating just one. One hamburger and one sandwich ordered with no tomatoes ar... read more

Truth. – warning to all those Vegeterians going to get your vegetarian vegetable soup, find out that the soup is actually does have vegetables but the broth is beef stock bouillons mixed with vegetables. But if you are a complete Vegan and don't want any animal by product what so ever in your soup, DON'T Get The V.V. Soup. 

Business response:

I am so sorry someone gave you misleading information. Our vegetarian vegetable soup is 100% meat free. It is never made with beef stock or any other animal product. Our soup is made with a tomato base and fresh chopped vegetables. Again, we apologize for any misunderstanding. Feel free to contact us if you have questions regarding our soup recipe. We hope you'll stop by and try our soup again. Thanks!
