this is where i learned to drink coffee. it started innocently with an almond steamer. long nights with friends, many a date, hours of studying - and espresso royale was home to it all.
the service is always excellent and it's a perfectly located to be THE place to people-watch. i love the outdoor patio so close to library mall, and i love the inside in winter. good drinks (yay fair trade!) and good atmosphere. i love it here.
