Lovely little cafe in South Auckland. I was so glad to find good coffee at this end of town!

After a fantastic walk up, around & down Mangere Mountain with our two young boys we desperately needed a strong coffee & hearty feed - Ruby Red did not disappoint. The menu was pleasantly refreshing - traditional favourites done in a modern way with genuinely friendly service that made as feel so welcome. The boys devoured their bacon butties made with five grain bread with relish & mayo, the husband practically inhaled his egg benedict & I kept it healthy (I'd spied the sweets in the cabinet) with lemon chicken salad served with chickpeas, honey carrot, kumara & tzatziki. The 'afters' didn't disappoint - great big slices of lemon meringue pie, sticky lemon slice, tiramisu (yes you can have it for brekkie here!) & chocolate biscuit fudge just to name a few. The husband is rather fussy when it comes to his coffee being strong & he was very happy! They also have a meat pie & sausage roll cabinet - they'd sold out so we'll have to get there earlier next time. Really, really worth a trip to Mangere Bridge for this gem of a cafe that does everything right.

Happy about the cafe at first, i experienced 2 times now unwashed, dirty salad. Complaining about it, the only comment was: "fair enough. it is very dirty". That was it. I's well overpriced for the quality food you get. In the CBD you get better and cheaper food, so why bother the trip to Mangere. Don't go there, it became a rip off!!
