I stopped in here at 6:45am one morning and was told I was a bit early. I'm used to coffee shops opening earlier I guess, but they were nice about it and invited me in to sit and wait.
I liked their stacks of Latin American Vogue, and the artwork on the walls was nice. They also had ice water out for you to serve yourself.
I ordered my usual americano, and was pleased. They have raw sugar you can serve yourself by the heaping spoonful out of a pretty candy dish. That was lovely.
Also, they are now the only place to carry Sweet Peas Bakery items. My favorite thing to do was walk down to Danielle's shop downtown and pick up some coffee at Royal and some of her Rosemary Shortbread cookies. It doesn't sound yummy, but believe me they are! Be sure to ask for some.
At the time I went, the place was obviously not crowded and I received attentive service...
