Review content:
My experience of Ruben's was before it had to be sold so I hope the new people running the place never take any pages out of the previous owners' book.\r
\r
Although, I think the first post was rather harsh I have to agree with it. I went there a total of 3 times and that was enough for me. The gentleman that worked at the front register was nice if not a bit lethargic but I could not get over the fact that his waist length hair was free-flowing during all of my visits. Not only that but he was always playing with his hair constantly without bothering to wash his hands before handling food. \r
\r
The food was OK at best. It's not bad but it certainly wasn't great. It's also simple food so it shouldn't be bad. Their pastries tasted fine but some did look like they were quite past their prime.\r
\r
My friend's brother worked there for a time and Ruben's did indeed use mass amounts of shortening in their products. He recalls often being told to weigh out 10 lbs of shortening for a buttercream icing. And when questioned why not butter, he was told that they never use butter in it. In fact, that was the only kind of fat they used. No canola/vegetable oil... There was no trace of butter in that entire establishment and their soups were made from artificial flavored bases, not from scratch but I digress, it tasted ok.\r
\r
The cakes were made using giant cement-bag-sized mixes of cheap sponge cake and these cakes were scooped into their baking dishes by hand, literally. The pastries/croissants were purchased frozen goods, same as the chicken (the same used for the allegedly awesome chicken salad). The eggs were never refrigerated and whatever was in there was expired.\r
Despite that there are more negative facts about Ruben's, one of the previous owners was almost nice enough to distract from the adverse qualities of her cafe.\r
\r
P.S. I think whomever made the 3rd post might be one of the other owners trying to defend their previous property, or possibly close to them. Either that or just an equally biased consumer that likes to emphasize ignorance with the caps-lock key.
Pros: simple food, pleasant staff
Cons: expired food,unhygenic cashier, disappointing pastries/cakes
