Ruby-Ru

Lovely. When flowers won’t do the trick, chocolates will, right?
Ruby Ru is another place that is a hop and skip away from my house so it’s nice and easy for me to go and buy something nice to say I’m sorry when the Mrs wants to kick my butt.
Situated smack bang in the middle of Moseley village, this charming little shop produces handmade chocolates and other sweets. They have all sorts of bespoke chocolate creations, like a candy house (which looked delicious but gave me the creeps because it reminded me of Hansel and Gretel). The décor is very modern and spacious and, most importantly, the sweets are delicious.
A little more pricey than just buying a bag of revels but definitely worth it.

I can’t help compare this place to the chocolaterie in the novel Chocolat. The window displays are just as eye arresting as I imagine and the smell as you walk in makes you smile whatever your mood. The owner, David, from Maison Mayci fame, has done amazingly with this place. The décor is quirky and unique and its spaciousness makes it feel luxurious rather than sparse.
The lady who welcomed me, Jo, was warm and friendly and told me she made all the biscuits herself out the back. Hats off to her because the banana cookies I tried were scrumptious. Her smile puts you instantly at ease and I for one can’t wait for the chocolate making workshops and parties on the horizon.
The baked dark chocolate moose was another delice. It wasn’t as pricey as I thought it’d be. With sweets covering one wall of the shop I only wish Ruby-​Ru had been around when I used to get sweet-​money after school!

Ruby-​Ru is one of the newest establishments to appear in the food loving village of Moseley. And this shop front certainly doesn’t fall short in matching the exquisite taste and uniqueness of other surrounding retailers.
The chocolate and sweets specialists bring a piece of France to the village, with mouthwatering chocolate art that looks too good to eat, but is still too tempting to resist. Especially the chocolate butterflies which live in the window, always catching my attention as I walk past.
Once entering Ruby-​Ru, you’ll be immediately hit by this romantic vibe, and I’m pretty sure this will turn out to be the most used place for courting couples to impress their other halves. Although one thing I will say, the prices of the chocolates are quite high end.
But Ruby-​Ru do not just sell you chocolate and sweets, they also allow you to take up chocolate making classes to incorporate your own creativity, which of course will result in the perfect unique gift for anyone.
