"I recently hosted an event here and everything about it was perfect. The owner and chef were true delights to work with, the staff was kind and attentive, the food was delicious and presented beautifully. I would highly recommend visiting this spot if you are downtown and in need of lunch, breakfast, a snack, or a beverage. Looking forward to the next time, I can get back there myself!"

"I am a HUGE fan of the Shaler location so I am excited that they opened a second location downtown because in the summer, I LOVE to be downtown and this will be a staple for me when I am. I enjoyed my Ruckus breakfast bagel with sausage- YUM! The atmosphere was inviting and bright, especially on such a very cold day. I really loved the beautiful stereo in the corner with the high-back chairs, too. The staff was lovely and the menu had a wonderful range of options, some different from the Shaler location, so definitely has it's own vibe. If you have a need for a small space to meet as a group, don't hesitate to reach out. They are very accommodating and opened for our group on a day they are usually closed. Congrats on the new location."

"Loved it - the staff was so patient answering our questions, and even replaced a smoothie for free after a mistake/confusion. It was warm inside despite being a corner spot with a large front door and windows, downtown on a 6-degree day. The women working were so friendly, and it sounded like there is a positive relationship from owners & staff based on observations and conversations with them. Would go again."

"Stopped in here last week because I love their Shaler location. Still great food- definitely get a bagel sandwich!!"
