    Espresso Royale vet Chris and wife Ali have created a little slice of coffee heaven. Grab a seat in the solarium and relax.

    Get a pour over coffee and talk to the guys behind the counter about coffee while you're waiting for your coffee. Word.

    Their kitchen closes an hour before the shop closes. You can still get pastries though.

    The baristas complain like it's their second job. Heard everything from "the 3 pm rush hour is the worst" to "it's going to suck when the bikers come in." Very off putting.

    Don't go starving, it takes longer than a standard coffee shop to get your food. Worth the wait, maybe not the price.

    Over-rated. My Cortado was so bitter that I have to add raw sugar over it and I have always taken my coffee without sugar. Not worth my trek here.
