The wait is almost over, Burpangery East! Ruby Tuesday, the vibrant new café you’ve been waiting for, opens this Sunday, 16 February at 115-117 Buckley Rd.
Ruby Tuesday is the brainchild of Candice Kiss, who also owns the successful Gather and Feast in Caboolture and Annie Lane on Bribie Island. While her other ventures are well-regarded, Kiss emphasised that Ruby Tuesday will have its distinct character. The new establishment will offer a refined all-day brunch menu, focusing on high-quality, locally sourced produce.
Kiss explained that the meals will be more elaborate, with a greater emphasis on in-house preparation. The café is still seeking to partner with additional local suppliers.
Kiss identified a gap in the market in Burpengary East, particularly for specialty coffee and healthy food options. She aims to provide the community with a bright and vibrant alternative. Ruby Tuesday’s operating hours will be 6:00 a.m. -2:00 p.m. Monday to Friday and 7:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on weekends.
Diners can anticipate a range of freshly baked goods daily, alongside specialty coffee from Tim Adams and cold brew. A unique feature will be a canning machine producing personalised take-away cans filled with iced coffee, matcha, and other beverages, including decadent iced coffees featuring house-made soft serve.
The all-day brunch menu will cater to various dietary needs, including gluten-free and vegan options. The chef is committed to creating almost everything from scratch, from oils to fermented ingredients like croutons, promoting good gut health. This focus on wellness extends to a large selection of naturopath-designed teas. While healthy choices are a priority, the menu includes indulgent treats and weekend specials.
The café’s décor reflects a fusion of Palm Beach and Amalfi Coast influences, creating a fun, colourful, light, and airy atmosphere that complements the fresh food. The name, Ruby Tuesday, is a tribute to the classic Rolling Stones song, reflecting Kiss’s passion for music.
