Ruth & Dean has one of the best breakfast sandwiches in all of Victoria. Chimmichurri on a house biscuit, egg, cheddar, tomato, and of course, avocado. The bacon is an add on, and boy is it worth it. The treats are delicious and almost impossible to pass up. The coffee is hard to top. Very family fr
Pleasant neighbourhood bakery and café with indoor and outdoor seating. If not famous already for the breakfast sandwich, it will be. This was bacon, egg, cheddar, tomato, avocado and chimichurri on a magnificent biscuit. The café offers numerous other choices along with excellent coffee. Friendly s
Best. Cake. Ever.
This was our 2nd Red Velvet Cake and I cannot even put into words how delicious it is. The amount of love and care that goes into making their cakes does not go unnoticed. Thank you for taking care of your patrons, what a beautiful addition to the Oak Bay area.
Popular cafe on a cute little street outside of the Victoria city centre. We stopped in on a long bike ride for a quick coffee and stayed for some baked goods. There was lots of space to park our bikes and to sit outside and enjoy the weather. The staff was very help and friendly!
Charming little cafe. The food is simple and amazingly fresh. The small menu changes frequently depending on what's in season or fresh. Even the biscuit for the sandwich is made from scratch. There are also some baked treats. Cupcakes are a must try too!
This place is truly a hidden gem downtown. Not only do they make the best cakes in town they also do a fantastic lunch service. I’m always blown away by the quality and creativity in their food. I’m especially impressed by their salads. I am not a salad guy but damn they do them well.

My elderly dad and myself visited Victoria from Vancouver just before the long weekend of Thanksgiving. We were originally going to take one of those red double decker bus tours from The Empress Hotel but unfortunately & fortunately they were closed between Tuesday and Thursday so we decided to just
I had their spaghetti & meatballs; comes with a cookie (I chose chocolate chip) which was interesting because it was sweet with a hint of sprinkled salt. The entree tasted fine but a bit on the small side for the value. Will try again on another day (the lunch menu changes daily) but upon closer ins
DELICIOUS!! The only word needed to describe our lunch here today. Very cozy little place with good coffee and delicious food made to order. Good looking pastries as well and looking forward to a wedding cake well be having from here tomorrow.
We quickly googled a spot to stop for lunch while we were out biking & just the vibe in the pictures made me want to check out this gem of a place! And we were so happy we found Ruth & Dean’s! We had the BLT with salad, corn chowder, the oat & fudge bar & a mocha. 👌 Deeeeelish!
So damn good 🤤 the breakfast sandwich was straight up crack. The garlic pesto was especially killer… the biscuit was perfectly crispy and perfectly soft at the same time. Egg was cooked perfectly. The Americano was also excellent - can’t wait to come back here!!
I LOVE THIS PLACE. It is my go to if suggesting a coffee/lunch date. Baked goods are delicious! Very good coffee and cake! I love the daily cake, I love the care and pride in the business and I hope we can continue stopping by for years to come. I like bringing my toddler for a date here too. Thank
Everything here is amazing, and the staff are always so friendly. My favourite place for breakfast or a coffee
A relaxed environment for coffee, desserts and/or menu items - great service. The breakfast sandwich was delicious and reasonable.
I got my wedding cake from Ruth & Dean and it was the best carrot cake ever! When my husband and I tasted our wedding cake, our eyes literally got ten times bigger. We are very glad we got our wedding cake from them :)
