my favorite place in all of mexico. Just sit down and you feel better. They are so wonderful and kind. It's beautiful to meet people who do their work with so much love and attention to detail. The food and coffee are excellent. The tortilla sandwich is one of the best I've ever tried. And just the macha sauce.. I can't get enough! Kudos to the woman who prepares the food. I will miss Puerto Escondido because of this wonderful little shop. I wish them all the best in their future work.

What a wonderful place Ruska is. The owner was so warm and kind and really made us feel at home in his place. He put a lot of effort into the food and we loved the sandwiches he made. Even the side salad was made with so much love and attention. Thank you so much!

Really great coffee. Went for an Ice Americano everyday except Sunday and that's because it was closed. Prices are really good, cheap but high quality. They put a lot of effort into their coffee and food. There is usually one or two staff so sometimes there is a little wait but it is definitely worth it.

Cafe Ruska was our go-to place whenever we were in Centro. They do a very tasty ice americano which we always had (if I remember correct it was 40pesos). They had many options for coffee. All the coffee is grinded fresh for each cup, and it's very tasty! We often enjoyed our coffees in the cute small space, and sometimes had takeaway as well (it's nicely decorated and chill music). All the staff we met during our visits were very lovely and friendly. Would 100% recommend cafe Ruska, we miss the coffee already! Oh and I had the hot cakes once for breakfast and the portion was huge and very tasty (came with fruit, yogurt and honey, see the pic)! Just 50 or 55 pesos!

We had a nice little Brunch here. We ordered the Veggie sandwich and Wrap and they came with potatoes(or you can also choose salad). It was tasty and perfect for Vegetarian. They also ask if you want cheese or not so I suggest this is also an option for Vegans. As drinks we ordered the Oreo Frappe and a Maracuja Smoothie and they were amazing! Prices are more then fair and the stuff is really nice and welcoming. We'll definitely eat here another time.

The food is really good and the drinks are all amazing. It was the best golden chai latte I’ve ever had. People are nice and there’s a good playlist. Can’t recommend it more! The only problem is the few places to eat inside
