Royal Cafe and Creperie is really as good as it gets for a fun meal. There is a wide variety of coffee and tea and the crepes are perfectly cooked with plenty of options.
Service: Our server, Elena was so kind and friendly. Right when we walked in we were greeted and given a run-down of the menu. We came on a weekday at lunchtime and it wasn't too busy. We found a seat easily and were served in an appropriate amount of time. Additionally, we told the server that we were splitting out crepe and they served us each a crepe (original order comes with two) on our own plate.
Food: Delicious. We got a dessert crepe with nutella, bananas, strawberries, chocolate syrup, powdered sugar and whipped cream on top. The crepe was soft with crispy edges and the filling was tasty and well portioned. The crepe cost $8.50 which is a bit more than I would hope, but the portion size is very large (hence why we split it) and it's nice for a treat.
Drinks: My sister ordered a cubano (strong espresso and sugar) and I ordered a 16 oz Black tea with cardamom. Both were very tasty. I would recommend splitting the tea with someone though, because I easily got three mugs of tea from that 16oz mug which is a lot for me. The tea is served in a cute little brewer that you hover over your mug and dispenses the tea which is a nice touch. The tea costs $3.25 and there are at least 30 teas to choose from and the cubano was $2.
Royal Cafe is a great addition to downtown Matthews and I look forward to going back again.
