I was excited to try the eggs benedict with fried chicken and the smash burger. Unfortunately I did not enjoy the smash burger and I think the patty was frozen. The eggs Benedict with fried chicken was pretty good.

First time at the Royale for breakfast. We had the French toast and the California omelet. Everything was next level , from the flavor to the technique! Absolutely incredible. Coffee was delicious, smooth and bold but not bitter will definitely be back to try dinner

Excellent. The food was excellent. It's a very nice place to go for breakfast and brunch. I definitely will be going back there. Service was good too. Great atmosphere. I wasn't able to get a picture of the interior, but it was very sophisticated.

Went on a Tuesday for brunch and while the menu was exciting and the plating pretty, the food was bland. The coffee was yummy and adorable with a little edible frozen bear (ordered a salted caramel macchiato and the ube latte). Ordered the smashburger, a Benedict and an omelet; all were decent, but not worth the price tag. While it's definitely an IG worthy plate, the flavor doesn't align with the picture.

Amazing atmosphere, very chic and clean, I LOVED the food and cappuccino ( of course I tried the food of my husband as well and it was greeeat too!), amazing choice of dishes as well as drinks, beautiful interior! I liked the idea of the see through glass kitchen which is very light and super clean. Nice Parisian like veranda outside, this place deserves my 10 out of 10 score ❤️🔥

Date with my self and a week later came with some friends. The food and service is 🔥🔥🔥 now the atmosphere is top-tier.

The fried chicken Benedict whatever it’s called super good, and the crab scramble whatever it’s called amazing!

The bacon was really delicious. It’s more like candy so just keep that in mind.

Oh my word, what an amazing restaurant. The Royale's aesthetic is great, the staff are attentive and nice, and the food and drinks are superb. I just happened on this restaurant while checking out places for brunch. This one stuck out to me in the area and I have no regrets. Well.. maybe that I don't live closer to Pleasant Hill.

We ordered a couple of the signature lattes which were cute and delicious. We also ordered the classic American, Tom Yum Paella, Salmon Benedict, and the Chicken Waffle. All of the food was tremendous and I appreciate the Thai fusion which elevated each dish.

Go check this place out now! Be warned, The Royale gets very busy, but their service is so quick, you likely won't be waiting too long.

Updated Oct '25: STILL very good taste, excellent service, and they were able to accommodate Gluten Free substitutes. Great atmosphere. We came back and they are busier now but the food and drinks are great.

We enjoyed everything we ordered: Kare raisu, crab omelette and a side of special bacon. They had a lot of coffee/tea options which sounded amazing but we didn't get any that day. We look forward to trying it next time, and we will definitely come back again because we want to try all the other dishes!!
