The Ruby Slipper Cafe, Brunch restaurant in downtown Pensacola, United States.
The Ruby Slipper Cafe is a breakfast and brunch restaurant in downtown Pensacola, open daily until the early afternoon. The menu features Southern classics, French toast bites, and dishes made with fresh seafood from the Gulf Coast region.
The restaurant was founded in New Orleans and later expanded to the Florida Panhandle, bringing its Southern breakfast concept with it. The Pensacola location on South Palafox Street was one of the first openings outside Louisiana.
The Ruby Slipper Cafe draws from New Orleans cooking and Florida Gulf Coast traditions, mixing both on one menu. Dishes like Gulf shrimp omelets show how local ingredients shape what ends up on the plate.
The cafe opens early in the morning and closes in the early afternoon, so arriving before the late morning rush is a good idea. You can join a digital waitlist online before you arrive, which helps avoid a long wait at the door.
The cafe has a dedicated menu for dogs featuring treats called Pupcakes, made specifically for canine guests. This means visitors can bring their dog along and order something made for them, not just a bowl of water.
