Ruby's Cafe and Market Place is your Lexington neighborhood spot for great coffee, fresh eats, and the kind of warmth that makes you want to stay a while.
Ruby's Cafe and Market Place sits right on Lexington's Short Street, and we built it to be the kind of spot where neighbors become friends. Whether you're grabbing a quick morning coffee, settling in for a leisurely lunch, or browsing our market shelves for something special, there's always a warm welcome waiting.
We source locally whenever we can, keep the lights bright, and treat every cup and every plate like it's for someone we know. That's just how we roll.
