Royal Coffee Bar

I went in and the property was small with tight areas of seating and rather narrow passage ways. However I found it comforting and homey. The place is decorated in a 70'd theme print floral wall paper by the register along with wooden tables and "school" like desks in the corner which I thought was pretty cute.

I like Royal, quality tea, coffee, and espresso (etc.). Higher than some other coffee places in price, but it's your money supports a local business. Post modern vibe? Wish the hours were a little better on the weekend. They sell pastries that cartel used to have, imported from a downtown Phx market, which are the best.

This is one of my favorite coffee shops in Tempe. They have a great selection of alternative milks. I enjoy the variety! Speaking of variety, the fresh baked goods are very, very tasty! There are even vegan cookies, so something for everyone. My last treat was a chocolate chip espresso cookie. I shared them with my colleague and everyone loved them. I left behind the vegan apricot cookie. Hmmm... The selection changes regularly so it's always an adventure choosing which one to enjoy next.

Real nice spot to grab one of these bottled cold brews and get some reading/planning done to start off your Saturday! Unfortunately, they're closed by the end of a typical work day and aren't open on Sunday so I've only gotten to visit on a Saturday, but the place wasn't busy at all, featuring only a handful of small groups having conversations. Music is prominent and whatever is being played is clearly a feature for the allure. Finally, there's a spread of medium tables outside, small tables inside that you can really only fit a laptop and your drink on (pictured) and finally a large community table inside as well.
