Johnny Ruth

My wife and I love Johnny Ruth. We have purchased several items including the totally awesome whale mugs and the really cool postage stamp hoodies. Amazing little finds too. Staff members are always welcoming and will do whatever they can to make the visit a pleasant one. Highly recommend when visiting St. John's.

My mother loves coming here every time shes visiting St Johns. The last time we went, shop attendant Adriana was able to help her out picking some pieces that my mom fell in love with. Adriana was attentive and caring and my mom had a great experience. Beautiful shop, selection and costumer service!

If you are ever on water street in saint-johns Newfoundland, you have to stop by Johnny Ruth boutique. The service is amazing, and the merchandise that they have in store is unique and beautiful. Worth a stop in. Thank you for the great service :) Sarah from Quebec City

As the dense fog rolls through Water Street on a damp, chilly Sunday morning, swarms of new, young families and hungover college kids collecting their cars from a drunken yestereve, I pay them no mind. There is only one thing that entices me to do on a dreary St. Johns day, squander my afternoon away at Johnny Ruth. As the clock strikes noon across the way on the bearly visible clock tower on the Courthouse, the lights come to life in the shop which lighten the merchandise which therefore lightens my mood. The lock unlatches and what seems to be a sea of customers flood in to get clear of the miserable, mauzy day and forget about their problems of tomorrow. As I step in the shop I see a young employee in the back gulp down the last of her tea, a Toslow tea perhaps? A mystery I dont plan on solving. As I meander through the wonderfully Newfoundland themed clothing, perfectly capturing the humour with what seems like every Newfoundlander is born with, its the puzzles that catch my eye. There is nothing better, in my mind anyways, then to sit back on a cold, foggy day to a beautiful puzzle, a perfectly assorted charcuterie board and a glass of red. After placing my new puzzle under my arm, I find my eyes wandering on something else to feast my shopaholic mind on. They lock on the table as I begin to pick through the pages of one of my favourite Newfoundland artists JC Roy. Perfection. As I leave the store with my tote bag heavier and my wallet lighter, I go on to face this dreadful day with my new puzzle, my new book, my new charcuterie board and my glass of red.
