About Ruby Cafe

Step off Mollison Street into a sunlit haven built for relaxed pit stops, generous brunches, and dog-friendly garden dining. Out back, a sheltered courtyard catches the morning light—handy when you are traveling through the Macedon Ranges with four-legged companions in tow. Road-trippers drop by for leaf-brewed tea and flat whites, while morning appetites lean into plates of spiced chilli scramble on toast or pillowy pancakes dressed with berries and lemon yoghurt. Come afternoon and evening, the kitchen branches out with soft-crusted, freshly baked pizzas drizzled with house-made chilli oil.

  • Sunny Pet-Friendly Courtyard: A sheltered rear garden welcoming companion dogs, easily reached via the rear car park.
  • All-Day Fare & Evening Pizza: Freshly baked pizzas served with house-made chilli oil alongside hearty morning classics.
  • Macedon Ranges Pit Stop: A convenient stop off the Calder Freeway corridor for specialty coffee and generous meals.

    From the moment we entered the outdoor courtyard we were welcomed and served by a very pleasant young man who attended to our needs with a smile. My 2 Lakeland Terriers were allowed to stay with me

  • Freshly Baked Specialty Pizzas

    The menu expands traditional cafe options with freshly baked evening pizzas made using soft dough and quality ingredients.

    It happened to be their first day introducing a new pizza menu, which was exciting to try. We ordered the peri peri chicken and pesto chicken both tasted great. The pizzas were soft, cheesy, and clearly made with good quality ingredients.

Before you head over

Helpful tips on parking, outdoor seating, and menu options to make the most of your stop.

  • Park Behind the Cafe for Easy Access

    Street parking along the main road can be difficult to secure, so head directly to the large supermarket lot behind the cafe and enter conveniently through the rear courtyard.

  • Prepare for Genuine Heat with the Chilli Scramble

    For spicy breakfast lovers, the chilli scrambled eggs deliver serious heat without holding back, so make sure you are prepared for a kick before ordering.

  • Bring Companion Dogs to the Sunny Courtyard

    If you are travelling with companion or therapy dogs, walk straight into the rear outdoor courtyard where pets are welcomed to dine alongside you in the open air.
