Specialties

The Ruby Slipper Café specializes in breakfast & brunch all day everyday! We are a scratch-​kitchen, using fresh ingredients available from local purveyors. Our coffee and espresso are locally-​roasted fair trade selections. We also offer great «brunch» drinks such as Mimosas, Bloody Mary’s, Brandy Milk Punch, Irish Coffee and seasonal specialty drinks, along with beer, wine and sparkling wine.

Some of our house specialties include Eggs Blackstone, Eggs Cochon, BBQ Shrimp & Grits, and Bananas Foster French Toast.

History

Established in 2012.

The original Ruby Slipper Café opened in May 2008 in Mid-​City New Orleans. It is located in a cozy & inviting space that was formerly a traditional New Orleans corner store.

The second location opened Downtown at 200 Magazine Street in December 2010. Located in the historic Pelham Hotel, this location quickly became a destination for local business people and tourists.

In November 2012, The Ruby Slipper Café proudly opened its Marigny location at 2001 Burgundy Street. This location is housed in a historic bank building from the 1920s, and urban legend says this bank was robbed by Bonnie & Clyde!

The newest location of the Ruby Slipper Café opened at 1005 Canal Street in January 2014. The stunning renovation of the former McCrory’s 5 & 10 has given this block of Canal Street a boost!

Locally-​owned & Operated, The Ruby Slipper Café has become known as NOLA’s favorite Breakfast & Brunch café, receiving accolades from all the local reader’s polls & critics alike.

Meet the Business Owner

Jennifer W.

Business Owner

My husband and I opened the Ruby Slipper Café in May 2008 as part of our effort to positively influence the post-​Katrina recovery of our New Orleans neighborhood, which sustained severe flood damage.

The café was an overnight hit, and we now have four unique neighborhood locations in New Orleans and now one in Penasacola, Florida.

We have three elementary-​school aged children and are active members of the communities where we work and live.
