The Ruby Slipper Story

The original Ruby Slipper Cafe opened in May 2008 in Mid-City New Orleans. Our founders were driven by a deep desire to help revitalize their neighborhood in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Over the last ten years, Ruby Slipper has expanded to several restaurants across the Gulf south, but New Orleans remains our home office and our inspiration. Visit us at 6 NOLA locations, as well as Baton Rouge, LA; Mobile, AL; Orange Beach, AL; and downtown Pensacola, FL.

Still owned & operated by founders and New Orleans residents Jennifer & Erich Weishaupt, the Ruby Slipper Cafe has become known as one of the Gulf region’s favorite Breakfast & Brunch spots, receiving accolades from local reader's polls & critics alike.
