The best crepes ever, and the owner is so sweet! They have limited seating inside, and now less because of Covid, so my friends and I usually pick up food and take it home. They have a wide variety of coffee and tea, and everything I’ve tried is great.
Went here many times. Elena the owner always greets me with complements and kind words. Crapes are awesome. They make them in front of you and i love to watch how its made. If you come between 11am and 1pm the wait can be about 30 minutes so plan accordingly. Thats because everything is made to order and it takes 5 to 7 minutes to make each crape. Crapes are a little pricey but sure worth the money as they are made with only fresh ingredients and as the owner says always with love. O, and coffee is one of the best in Charlotte.
Always fresh, quick and friendly. Love the service and most of all the food.
Matthews is a long drive for us, but the Yelp top 100 list brought us here.The restaurant is fast casual, so you order at the counter, take a number, find a seat, and your food is brought out to you. Our first set of crepes came out pretty fast. There were more people in front of us when we ordered dessert, so those took a little longer.We started with the gyro and Philly cheese steak crepes. Both were tasty, but my husband and I both preferred the gyro. The only downside was that there wasnt much meat on it.Of course, you cant come here without getting some dessert crepes. We got the bananas foster and the peaches and cream (the special of the day). I loved both with a preference for the peaches and cream because it had a lot of peaches. The bananas foster was really light on bananas.Theres a handful of tables inside and a couple of tables outside as well.If youre looking for some good crepes, look no further.
What they spare on plates, they make up for in taste and speed. Ive been here multiple times with my family and it has been a wonderful treat everything. I couldnt recommend them more!
Im a big fan of crepes and have been wanting to try this place, I had one savory and one sweet. The crepes themselves were tough to cut through but I did find the savory crepe flavorful it had egg bacon ham and cheese inside. The dessert crepe was disappointing not only because the crepe was tough but the strawberries were not ripe nor have much flavor the cream was ok but overall the flavor was just meh!
I have now been to the Royal Cafe and Creperie twice now and both of my experiences have been fantastic. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is fantastic. Their massive assortment of coffee and tea options are the cherry on top. Id highly recommend this as a stop when youre in Matthews.
I was hoping this would be a good experience, but the food was disappointing and had very little flavor. Even though I knew they didnt serve authentic French crêpes, I was still surprised by how bland mine was. Also, our wait was long. The food was ready, sitting on the counter for 5 or 10 minutes before I walked up to ask the lady working there if it was ours. She asked what table we were at (our table number was clearly visible to her), I told her what we ordered, and she brought over only one of our dishes. My friends food just sat there for another few minutes while we awkwardly wondered if we should say something. Finally, she brought it to us. Its a tiny place and the food is prepared quickly, so a half hour wait is kind of ridiculous.
I really loved it here, the atmosphere is great and so is the food. you can get any type of crepe at any time of day which is nice. the only thing was that the place can get a teensy bit crowded at times. but other than that you should definitely come here!
Really good tea and tasty crepes. A nice hole in the wall type place to have some coffee, tea, and some food. Great service as well.
I’ve been wanting to try this place for awhile. I work within walking distance. Last week I decided to finally give it a go. Delicious! Cute little place! The lady’s there are so nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place!
Such a cute place!! I ate here once years ago and never forgot about it. I recently started coming again and trying new things on the menu and nothing has disappointed me! The staff is really nice and care about their customers. They make sure you are happy with your meal. Definitely recommend this place!!
This place is amazing!! They always greet you with a smile, and their Crepes are so yummy!! Totally coming back!!!
This place is amazing . The service, the atmosphere, the food, the drinks . We love this place !
Wonderful place. Besides terrific food, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming..Owners really love their customers.
Omgosh! This place is phenomenal! We had the Eggs Bennie Crepe & Bavarian Creme crepe...to die for!Staff & owners are very friendly, professional & helpful...as this was our 1st visit but definitely not our last!We will be back soon & absolutely recommend!
Definitely happy to find such an amazing crepe place and with wonderful and knowledgeable staff. Definitely will come back again
My wife and I happened across this place purely by accident then happened by it again a few more times. The entrepreneur was an absolute pleasure to be around. The staff members were excellent and the food was amazing. The kitchen is open to view so you can watch the preperation and its enjoyable to see the experts at work. Be warned its mesmerizing to watch and smell the fine foods and coffee being prepared but it may ding your wallet. It can be a little pricey but for the indulgent treat you couldnt ask for a better option!
The owner Elena and her staff were so welcoming and personable. This was our first time and it wont be the last. They were very accommodating with our changes as well as others to the orders. The crepes were made to order perfectly and were scrumptious. Highly recommend if you are in the Matthews/Mint Hill areas.
The owner Elena is super nice and helpful! We had a dessert crepe and it was fantastic! Definitely trying to go back!
The owner has so much passion for the crepes and teas she offers. It was all delicious!!
Spoilt for choice. The cordon bleu was wow, Enjoyed an outdoor brunch
The food was superb! I had the Philly Chessesteak Crepe and Garry had theChicken Corden Blue Crepe. Best ever and their iced tea so refreshing. Cute little shop. Super friendly staff. We were here visiting from eastern NC.
Great place in downtown historic Matthews, NC. AWESOME crepe selections... savory and sweet. And over 30 loose leaf teas to choose from! Frozen coffees, and a full coffee bar. We had a standard English breakfast coffee with the pour over teapot, cappuccino and the roast beast crepes with roast beef, Swiss, avocado, horseradish sauce and baby spinach. For dessert, we opted for the bananas foster crepes... traditional bananas fosters wrapped in a crepe with pecans, caramel, and a little bit of yum!
Amazing loose leaf tea!!!Update: All workers wear masks and masks are required for all guests. Rhett have hands sanitizer if you need it. Plastic border at the checkout. Enforces 6ft.Today I tried a limited edition menu item called Summer Dream. Is a tasty, refreshing beverage that I suggest. Since its new, theyre still adjusting to how to ring it up on the register. I usually get savory crepes when I come, but today I got the Bavarian Creme Crepe. It was absolutely delicious. It balanced real well with the Summer Dream beverage.
The best!!!... customer service... crepes...coffee!!! Super friendly and family owned!!! Weve added this place to our regular family outings!!! Love!!! Love!!! Love!!!
Magnificent!! Out of this world crepes and beverages can be found here. We went on a busy day and Elena was the perfect hostess and managed to accommodate us! She runs a stellar business! Her uniques blends of teas and coffees were superb. It is our first time in but definitely will not be our last! So yummy!!
We had a wonderful Sunday morning breakfast enjoying some americanos and crepes that were out of this world. The best part is the customer service. There’s another benefit to this place...you can practice your Russian, if you’d like. We’ll be back. They make a concerted effort to maximize social distancing in their small space 🤓.
This is a beyond five star cafe. Owner is such a kind woman! And the crepes are just delicious, both sweet and savory. They also have a very big selection of coffee and teas
Wide selection and style of crepes. Breakfast, entrees, and dessert offerings. Great informal brunch stop with your coffee.
Great food and staff. Check out their loose leaf teas!
We stumbled upon this Cafe when walking around Matthews and boy am I glad we did! Service was great. We were greeted right away and was given a run down of their menu and specials. I went with the Hamster breakfast Crepe and my goodness it was amazing! I also had an iced coffee that was delightful. My mother is an English tea drinker and she was very satisfied with her tea, as it came in the perfect pot that kept warm and poured easily from the bottom so no spilling. We will definitely be back to try the dessert crepes!!
I have always enjoyed coming here and its a great place to spend time and enjoy everything they have to offer. Wonderful staff and amazing food.
Love it, best collection of coffee and crepes!
Seriously, the best crepes! The ladies running the place are so nice and make you feel at home. Ive tried a few different crepes, theyre all good but my favorite is the Greek isles. They also have great coffee!
Beautiful place, good crepes, ordering ahead would work best and check your order before leaving other than that, superb
Incredible crepes and the staff is friendly and amazing. Great coffee as well
Just returned from a year of traveling overseas, and no crepes we tried matched the delicious and amazing ones here!!! Literally an International Sensation, 10/10 would eat here everyday if I could.The people are amazing and friendly, feels like youre part of the family here!
Love it best made to order Crepes !
Drove all the way from Mooresville to come back to this place! So good. Ive had the greek crepe and the ham & swiss crepe. Today, I got the egg benedict crepe. Very good. Big enough to split with someone. Im never able to eat a whole one. For drinks, the mint raspberry lemonade spritzer is delicious. Today, I opted for the winter cherry with espresso...very good! They also have dessert crepes which look delicious! If you have a crepe craving, this place is a great choice. The staff are also always friendly. We did wait a while for our food order (30+ minutes) but worth the wait in my opinion. I recommend!
The best I have tried in US!
The best place to go for amazing coffee and delicious crepes. The owner is exceptionally sweet and ensures you enjoy everything you order.
We absolutely LOVE the Royal Cafe & Creperie!! Not only is the food amazing, but the service is awesome!! ❤
Terrible crepes and no value. If I could put zero stars I would. The crepe I ate tasted like rubber.
Small, but AMAZING guild free food. The desserts are fresh and rich! :)
Delicious and super friendly staff! A must try!!
This was my first time ever having creps and I must say it was excellent. I ordered the Philly cheese steak and it can with this orangeish sauce that just made the meal.I really liked how this place has vegetarian options as my girlfriend doesnt eat meat.Google only has this place listed as $ but I would have to say it is $$. For two creps and 2 hot teas it was around 25$The loose leaf hot teas were served in the coolest thing ever. It filled our cups from the bottom and was enough for like 3 cups of tea.I cannot wait until I can come back and try their dessert crepes.
I love the cheese steak crepe here. Well balanced, and the chipotle aioli is hard to beat. The crepe itself also has a nice crispiness without being too crunchy or brittle.Specialty drinks and teas here are great too.Service is always top notch, and the lady that runs the place is full of great recommendations and positive energy.
Best Latte Ive had in a long time. Hospitality is at 100%
Food was great! Service was slow and due to social distancing, seating wasn’t scarce.
Best coffee I’ve had since I’ve moved here fromDallas. The espresso they use in the drinks is one of the smoothest I’ve ever had in my years of professional roasting, and in my career as a barista.The atmosphere itself is a little tight, but I didn’t mind it at all. The S’mores crepe my partner and I got, along with our coffee ( I got an americano, he got a Winter Cherry Latte), was well worth the wait AND price.The service was warm and inviting, and I can’t wait to come back and treat myself to more of their menu.
Theres expanded outdoor seating from their usual so thats appreciated! We ate on the benches on the green. Food was as good as always. Recommend ordering ahead!
This place makes the best Crepes around!The owner is so sweet and nice! And plenty of delicious varieties of teas, coffees, and crepes for all!
Super yummy crepes great coffee extreamly friendly service
Great attention. Delicious coffee
Mom and Pop type store. Amazing portions and food all around.
Great place to chill and have some tea
The staff were super friendly and welcoming. I had the strawberry shortcake crepe, split it with a friend, it was delicious! The cafe also has a really nice vibe.
This is a bit of a drive for us, but it totally worth it! We have been coming since just after they opened and had limited hours. Love to support a local and family business. The owners are very friendly and remember us! We have tried many different items on the menu and never been disappointed. Give them a try!
So glad this local gem has persisted through these challenging times. They have terrific crepes and coffees along with very friendly service.
Excellent service and fresh ingredients! Highly recommend, with plenty of delicious options. Will most certainly be back!
Awesome food. Awesome service. Try the Smore Crepe, kids loved it!
Everything I have tried here is absolutely wonderful! Highly recommend!
Personal attention, products quality, environment are excellent. Wel be return w/family.
I feel like the good reviews maybe come from people that haven’t ever had a real crepe. The food was average with cheap ingredients ie black olives when “kalamata olives” .. small tiny chucks of chicken and the crepe was kind of greasy. I chose this spot of loyalist market because of the reviews so felt it was necessary to write one. Disappointing 5/10
The food here is flat amazing. Absolutely the best. The food was so good that the kids cleaned their plates! They also have great coffee and espresso drinks. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend this restaurant if youre in the area and you have a craving for great food.
Ridiculous, the food is insane.
