This meal gave me wicked diarrhea soon after eating it. To think I was forced to pay a 15% tip for hours on the can, too. Who will replenish my toilet paper?

Horribly overpriced and there is no assistance upfront. You serve yourself basically so I don’t understand the surprise 15% charge on our order. The prices do not reflect the food nor the service. It is hard to support local businesses when they are set up so poorly my order was wrong. First time experience and last.

I went to order a breakfast sandwich for $17.95. It looked good. It also comes with a kale salad which I’m not a fan of kale. They said “you can have potatoes for an extra $1 which is ok, or a fruit salad for an extra $5.” Then I was ready to pay for a take out order. It was $25. I said “wait how much is the tax”. I noticed it was about $5. I’m like how much is the tax she said it’s an extra 15% service fee added. I don’t mind leaving a tip but to be charged 9% then another 15% on top of that & having a 24% tax on a to go egg sandwich is absurd! I said I don’t want to pay that much extra tax, plus I only had a certain amount of cash. I would have liked to give the small independent restaurant the business, but that fee forced me to go next store to Jersey Mikes for a sandwich with a lot of meat for $12. 1/2 the cost.

Cashier: "That'll be $26.03."Me: "Really? The menu says $20.50."Cashier: "There's a mandatory 15% surcharge on every order."Hey Royal Egg Cafe owner -- are you open to a few suggestions to improve the dining experience?First, be honest. Tip-creep. Tip-flation. Call it what you want, but please publish the actual cost of your food on your menu. Customers (including this one) will reward you for it.Second, if you want customers to pay a mandatory tip for counter service, then at least instruct your team to bring us water and utensils, instead of making us get them ourselves from the little cart up front.Lastly, offer complimentary refills on all beverages, and instruct a server to routinely top off customer's drinks, without us having to get up from the table.My two cents.
Food taste fresh, friendly service. Just a perfect breakfast for New Year’s Day!Go Blue!

First, it's 50degrees outside and they have the air blasting. My guest and I had to sit in our car to eat. Second, they charge an extra 15 percent to help pay their salary "WHAT"!!! No you work for your salary and I will give you a tip based on your service!!! Third, my simple order was missed up and they started arguing in the kitchen about fixingit!! Too sad!!! Lastly, the jalapeño biscuits are delicious the egg whites not so good!! That's all I got and they screwed it up!! So service was less than average and I paid 15 percent just because!! Unbelievable!!

Amazing food, great vibe, super service. Took off a point because the management can’t seem to fix the door so the noisy heater stops haha they will fix it if they read this I hope! Best place ever!
This breakfast spot is truly exceptional, meriting repeat visits for its outstanding offerings. The Eggs Benedict, enhanced with avocado and fresh orange juice, is a standout, as is the refreshingly tasty accompanying salad. Emphasizing farm-raised, organic ingredients, the quality of food like the fluffy pancakes, delicious steak and eggs, and the best Wild Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast I've ever had, is evident in every bite.Despite being constantly busy, the service is quick and friendly, ensuring a smooth dining experience. The ambiance, especially in the private, ivy-clad outdoor seating area, adds to the charm. With efficient ordering and attentive staff, this spot is a must-visit for anyone seeking quality breakfast dishes in a pleasant setting.

Yummy eggs benedict with croissant like fluffy buttered bread and perfectly poached egg and bacon with greens. Enjoyed their savory tasteful breakfast burrito with potatoes, apple wood bacon, eggs, Pico de Gallo, avocado. Loved the very fast ordering process inside and ability to choose inside or outside seating with plenty of seating for both. Sitting outside felt very private and relaxing with the ivy vine wood lattice fences. The servers were quick and friendly to bring out our delicious food and also clean up. Lovely place to be. Will definitely return and return again. Thank you for your quality service, food, and atmosphere.

Very rare for me to want to give a full 5 star review!!! I had to visit twice on two separate days just to verify if what I had the first day was right!The benny(Benedict) was amazing! Put some avocados and order a fresh orange juice and wow! The salad that comes with it is so good! Refreshing to a sense that, again, I had to come twice to check!If you don’t believe me then you and I are definitely enjoying life differently lol

Again we are falling victim of the usual psychology of post Covid era. Use words like “vegan” “organic” “wholesome” “locally sourced” “recycled” and “plant based” and people flock to the place and start writing 5 star reviews since it’s locally sourced vegan and organic it must be good right??? The sad truth is that it’s outrageously expensive mediocre food which in some ways was inedible (hollandaise sauce was so tart I had to scrape the egg off and with the sauce and constantly swish my mouth with the latte) crab cakes were mediocre tasting. At the end this review is simply written not due to the fact the food is super mediocre but to the fact you are able to charge an exuberant amount of money for mediocre food. You are also charging 15% gratuity (which is totally ok) but it’s classified under “tax” on the receipt. It’s a basic known fact service charge is not taxable and it’s not classified as tax. I do this for a living I know for a fact.
