My favourite place to get coffee and/or brunch in Liverpool. I've been here several times now. The pancake stack and mocha combination is beautiful.

We were there for breakfast. The coffee was the best so far on our trip to England. Unfortunately our order was forgotten. In response to our complaint, we were served free drinks of our choice and then our breakfast shortly afterwards. Mistakes happen in life. We all really enjoyed the breakfast. The prices are typically England, you have to accept that when you visit the country. But we recommend it. The staff were friendly.

Nice cafe on the docks. Unfortunately breakfast took a very long time. When asked, the manager apologized and there was a free drink for all 3 people. Very great gesture. Food was very good, cappuccino was excellent. Atmosphere in the café is very pleasant

Nice coffee, cake could have been a bit tastier but as fine. Good atmosphere but we were sitting outside and not inside which felt so warm and uncomfortable. Good setting within the Albert Dock. Customer service lacking a bit, definitely not service with a smile. Was asked if I wanted milk with MY coffee but then they forgot to provide it, had to ask again and it felt like they were doing me a favour. My husbands coffee all fine. Not too bad re prices but a smile wouldn’t go amiss.

Great cafe by the docks. Friendly staff, plenty of seating inside and outside. Good range of breakfast served until 12, sandwiches, pancakes until 2.30. Reasonable prices, excellent food. The pancake stack is generous, all cooked fresh.

Would of expected better for dock side. Not baby friendly as no changing facilities have to do on the floor. Had to ask for 2 of our drinks twice as they forgot. £3.25 for a bottle of 250ml diet coke is disgusting but so hot in there while eating no breeze cool air anywhere so either that or just dehydrate. Staff real don't give a crap attitude about them as well. One of those places for me and my wife would never walk back into butter in the toast smack in the middle and smallest amount I've ever seen. So first time visit and will definitely be last visit as well

If you’re a tourist and need your morning coffee, RUBENS is the earliest opportunity at the Liverpool Albert Dock. It opens at 830 and serves a multitude of delicious pastries. I particularly enjoyed a rich carrot cake and a double espresso. Good prices, comfy chairs, smiling sellers. What else would one need? As a European, I can never get used to separate cold and hot water in the toilet. But it is part of the experience. No complaint there.

Came here for an early brunch before going to the Beatles museum. Nice little cafe tucked away along the dock. Got the eggs Benedict and my partner got the bacon and maple pancakes. Very good fresh food. Got a cappuccino that was lukewarm though which was slightly disappointing but the food made up for it! My partner got the strawberry and banana smoothie which she said was super fresh and refreshing!! Would recommend going here if your in the area

Awful experience 😔 We ordered breakfast and it took so long, it became lunch We were told it will be 20 mins before we can Oder food, no problem so ordered drinks while waiting. Then told when ordering the food, 20 mins, no problem I expect that at least. 25-30 plus mins later I enquired, and was told another 10 mins, hmmmm ok Then one dish, 2 mins later another dish then we reminded them about the last It came, cold or Luke warm at most I was done, 😔 Manager came and stated my problem was not possible ???????? He was kind enough to give a refund, and I left hungry

This is the best place to have your breakfast and start your day exploring Liverpool. The staff are very friendly. They have a live kitchen where you can watch the Chefs cooking some excellent breakfast for you. I ordered a hot chocolate and croissant. The croissant was really nice, but the hot chocolate arrived warm. However the taste and quality was good. Would definitely visit again to try their English breakfast during the Summer so that I can sit outside and enjoy watching the docks 😊

Called in for a coffee. 2 adults 2 kids. Was told there a twenty minute wait for food. No problems. Ordered 3 hot chocolates and food. When the hot chocolates arrived they were nearly warm! , not hot. The food was a hour! Not 20 mins, and there were at least 4 tables who came in after us that were served and left before we had our food brought out, which was brought out at different times, so I was just starting as my son was sat waiting. The food did take an hour to arrive but to be honest was really nice. Shame about the service.

This was the 2nd time we have eaten at Ruben's and both times were the same, The staff are not over friendly, we asked for the table to be cleaned and both me and my husband thanked the girl, she never even looked at us or said anything. I used the 1 toilet they had and it was filthy no toilet paper available, hand tissues all over the floor wasn't a nice experience. They weren't that busy so no excuse, so we are definitely not going back and would recommend the staff had training on how to treat customers and give them the feeling they are welcomed and make them want to return, something we won't be doing again.

Unfortunately, their main bagel which is the New York Bagel used cheap meat. They say spicy beef but it was the same quality that you buy in a packet. No urgency with staff and slow to make the food. If this is their best item then I would look elsewhere. I cannot recommend.

The food is great, tasty and nice served. Waffles are not too hot when served, but warm. Milkshake was a bit too sweet, but still ok. The interior of the cafe is nice: red brick walls, old photos of Liverpool, some coffee related pictures. It's in sort of loft style. In some parts it's a bit dark, but still ok. Music is amazing (Depeche mode, red hot chili peppers and others). Atmosphere is quite good. However we had some issues. Member of staff forgot to write down one of our orders, so we had to wait for a while until we finally asked about where one of our dishes was. They apologized and gave some free drinks that we chose. Then we got our dish quite fast. Also the waiter mixed up and almost gave us someone else's portion, but luckily it didn't happen

Awful service waited 1 hour to be told another 40 minutes for breakfast wasted our morning avoid. I dispute your comments me owner as you actually told us to come back in 20mins then we will be served quickly. We returned in 20 minutes there was no table ready my wife had to try to find one then i was told it’s a 40 minute wait for food. You should have been more clear by saying return in 20 minutes and you will have to wait for a further 40 minutes. We were up until today regular visitors to your cafe but your poor communication has ended that. Your reply wasn’t very honest either!

3rd time we've been to the cafe but we'll probably choose somewhere different next time. We have an almost 4 year old and were told there are no children's portions, I was also told there were no sausages and the girl at the till must have rolled her eyes at me at least 3 times whilst I was on the spot trying to think of alternative options. The food that arrived was great, however after the being told there were no sausages and being told we'd get more bacon, the food that arrived did have sausages so I can only put this down to the girl at till having no clue or customer service skills what-so-ever. Pros - food is great if you can cope with the rude staff. Cons - no menus on the tables leaving you all walking round awkwardly looking at boards, no children's menu or children's portions and unhelpful rude eye rolling when asking can we make up a small breakfast for him. Top tip Ruben's cafe, the staff you employ are the face of your business and project your ethos, choose them wisely. We'll be going elsewhere next time.

Probably not a typical visit, but very odd!! Ordered an ice cream, great service... ordered a coffee, great service... ordered a salted caramel slice, which looked amazing, great service... ordered at rockey road slice... but was then told that we couldn't have it, because it was tomorrow's stock... on the counter!?! The explanation was that it was only just put out ready for tomorrow (1 hour before closing) and that the ones covered in clingfilm were not available to purchase. That, bizarrely included the salted caramel slice that I had already ordered, and was sitting on a plate on the counter in front of me! This was then taken away from me!!!! For me this was a little bit baffling: a retail establishment not willing to sell items on the counter on display. Quite simply, the whole experience was somewhat ruined by a single act of terrible and bizarre customer service. Will just go to Costa two doors down next time. Quite a shame really, as I'd decided to support a local rather than chain cafe.

Location is pretty good and prices are kind of okay but what I would say is this is a great big aircraft hanger of a place. It really has two dining areas. One is a bit smaller with what look like some comfy seeds and the other is rather like a school dining room. Staff waived between indifferent and then a little bit attentive. It was actually very hard to work out who was the staff. No uniforms and those people who were serving look like they were going out to a party on a Friday night. Nothing about the experience would make me want to go back here by choice.
