As Bad As It Can Get !!!!!!!!!!!! – My wife and I have been dining out almost every day lately, so Ruggles cafe bakery was one of our choices and to make a long story short, we have been disappointed in the past few restarants and Ruggles was NO exception . From the service to the quality of the food and not to mention the HIGH PRICE we paid for cold nasty food with an attitude. We think the only reason this place has any customers so far, is just because of the RUGGLES name!!!!! SORRY RUGGLES, you're NOT worth the time or t... read more

Good atmosphere but the food falls short – My wife and I were excited to try out Ruggles after hearing a lot about it. Unfortunately, we were not impressed. The food is overpriced. After we placed our order, we watched what turned out to be our food sit underneath the hot lamps for about 5 minutes before we were paged. The food itself was alright. The chicken salad is basically chicken and lots of mayo. I'd stick to the coffee and the pastries.

Don't go for food! – The desserts look good, and Ruggles seems like a good place to grab a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, or if you desire, a teapot. In fact they have the tea in bulk jars kept airtight, which is impressive as long as all that tea and so little ordering doesn't mean stale tea. Unfortunately my visit to Ruggles revolved around food. The prices are outrageous and the food quality is not good. For the price and hype we were expecting awesome food and huge portions. We were disappointed. I got the worst Rueben of... read more

A laid-back bistro serving comforting soups, creative entrees and museum-quality pastries to students and soccer moms alike. – In Short The dessert menu created and executed each day by renowned pastry chef Susan Molzan reminds patrons that life is short, so eat dessert first. Try white-chocolate-macadamia-nut tart, chocolate truffle cake or even the supposedly low-fat tres leches cake. However, don't miss savory entrees, like the goat cheese-and-Granny Smith apple mixed green salad topped with sun-dried tomato vinaigrette, ... read more

Mediocrity in a sea of excellence – My family and I had not visitied Ruggles Cafe in quite some time - our recent visit reminded us why we have stayed away. Ruggles is located in the Rice Village amidst many fine restaurants and fun shops. It seems that this restaurant apparently survives on its name and/or reputation alone - it's one of those places that people just go because someone said they should. While the desserts look pretty good, I found that the food is at best mediocre. And while that can be acceptable if there a... read more

Great food – I have been several times to this Ruggles now and have not been disappointed at all. Every single thing I have tried on their menu has been excellent. Last time I was there, a line to the door was prominent for the entire evening....proof, in my opinion, that this place has great food!

Nice joint – Friends have told me for years to go here and my husband and I finally got here last week. We took the advise of friends and got sandwichs and soup and shared. The portions are huge. We ordered one roast beef sandwich and a bowl of black bean soup. The sandwich was wonderful. The only down side was the dining area was a little dirty. It could of just been a busy day so I will go back again.

Great for Dates! – This is one of my more favorite places to take a date, girlfriend or even wife (even though I haven't gotten one of those yet, but I plan on it.) Great chocolate cake... THE BEST!!!
