The burger is AMAZING. We ordered grilled cheese sandwiches for the kids as well as a patty melt, and they were divine!! We also got an iced butterscotch latte and it was really good. Fries were the perfect level of salty goodness. The next time we come to the Dunes, we will definitely be back here!! The feel inside is very modern industrial, which is super cool as well. Thank you for existing!! We needed a good meal and this place delivered above our expectations!

Absolutely great breakfast food & lunch. Had a breakfast burrito bowl and wow it was fantastic. They use great ingredients and serve fantastic coffee. If you’re hungry give this place a try. Small point they close Early, around 2.

We stopped here on accident thinking it was a gas station with regular convenience goods. We were pleasantly surprised by the coffee bar, smoothies and food offerings. We decided to return Mother’s Day morning for breakfast. To celebrate the day, they gave me a cupcake and a rose. It was very sweet and the frosting on the cupcake was divine. They made gluten free Belgian waffles for the kids. I happily ate their leftovers the next day. I will go back when I’m visiting the area again.

Love The Ruby Rose Bakery & Cafe! The scones, muffins, and cinnamon rolls are incredible and the burgers are local grass-fed beef and some of the best burgers in ColoRADo. My youngest daughter loves the biscuits & gravy and begs me for them often. Angelica & her crew are so talented & welcoming! Thank you all for all that you do for our small town, and for all the travelers.

This place is incredible. Got the Huevos Rancheros and a Mocha Latte and they were incredible. It's such a cute stop on the way to the dunes. Gas is card only, but that's fine. Stop by and grab a bite!

If you’re ever road tripping through Southern Colorado, make sure to plan a breakfast or lunch stop at the The Ruby Rose Bakery - Sweets & Gourmet Treats in Hooper. Plan plenty of time for this relaxed, family owned experience. We tried their frozen coffee drinks and the caramel and cake batter were both tasty. Their homemade pancakes were so fluffy and the whipped cream was a nice touch. Their big breakfast was enough for almost two people with that delicious Gosar sausage on the side. And, their scratch made biscuits and unique green chili sausage gravy is worth the drive by itself. If you’re in a hurry they have plenty of pre-made biscuit sandwiches and to-go options. I was surprised at just how busy this little place was in the hour we sat and ate.

Omgosh what a find! A little breakfast/lunch cafe/mini bakery with loads of delicious farm to table type foods and sandwiches. Fresh baked goods, fresh bread, delicious tea, and coffee ( so many choices). We ordered the meatless breakfast sandwich and the regular one. The freshmade bread was delectable! We also purchased a rhubarb pop tart! Can't wait to eat it! I should have taken more pictures. Definitely DO NOT drive by. Stop in. Very friendly staff.

So glad we stopped! The people are super nice and their coffee and scones are AMAZING!! Not a huge fan of apple desserts and their caramel apple scone is so delicious! If you need coffee or need to satisfy your sweet tooth this is the place to be! Definitely try it out! Will definitely be stopping by next time we drive through!
