A little haven of dog friendly coffee excellence in College Square, Bristol. Rod and Ruby's is dedicated to authentic Italian excellence, offering a menu packed with proper Italian coffee (trust us, get yourself an espresso here), Italian patisserie options including mini cannolis and cassata Siciliana, and real Italian gelato. The pistachio ice cream in particular is on another level, and couldn't be more welcome on a sunny day in Bristol. There's some great cold drinks too, including lovely iced coffee. All in all, this lovely cafe gets a big thumbs up from us, and our dogs loved it too.
