    Ham and cheese omelet, and home fries.
    Dj J.

    Had not been to this joint for several years and I came back for breakfast with my daughter. The food was amazing and the service was great the home fries have a unique flavor that is so good. The ham, egg, and cheese omelet was huge and delicious. Glad we came here today!

    Very cute and quaint spot. Service was quick and staff was super friendly. The food was delicious, cheap and had great portion sizing! Would definitely go again!

    The breakfast menu. The food smells very delicious!! And it's a very welcoming environment

    This location is very welcoming cafe and environment. It is a family run restaurant with classic American breakfast and menu. They also sell lunch options but I usually just stick to the breakfast. Fresh cracked eggs, fluffy omelets, fresh cooked bacon, and a stiff strong cup of coffee.

    #3 eggs and bacon. Nothing greasy. I made a sammich!

    As a foodie snob, I seldom give a place 5 stars. I was impressed with the food and portions, service, as well as the atmosphere. Parking was easier than anticipated for the city. It can be cold inside, but a small price to pay for the all positives.

    Greasy spoon old school diner with a classic American breakfast and lunch menu. Pricing is consistent to what Fonzie must have paid on Happy Days. I would have no idea how this place can afford to exist on what they charge, except for the fact that Royal Lunch has pictures of generation upon generation of happy customers on their run down walls. I like this spot more for mood than food but it's worth a visit even just for nostalgia. Plus, the service is as sweet as good old American apple pie.

    The world is sleeping on this place. A quaint little mom and pop place with the best food around. I get the NY System where every chance I get. If yo haven't been, you better go.

    Please come cash me out...

    I came here as part of Providence Coffee Crawls. I had been here before and loved my experience, so…read moreI was looking forward to visiting again. The first time I came, it was a rainy weekday and this time it was a sunny weekend, so I was expecting an even larger crowd; and my prediction was correct. The line was just out the door but because of their awesome staff, the line was moving very quickly. While we waited in line, we could watch them making pastries through the glass, a couple feet in front of us. I admired that level of transparency. When we were third in line, the kindest lady asked us whether we'd be eating in or taking out and she took down our name to help us find a table when it came time. She did the same for the rest of the people in line. She also gave us some recommendations, including the cinnamon bun - apparently they're so good kids cry when they sell out. I didn't intend to order anything with my drink, but I couldn't get the cinnamon bun out of my head so I ordered it along with my iced spiced chai latte. The hen (I think it's their logo) on the aprons of the employees are super cute. We did secure a table. The tables are close together to maximize the number of people who can sit down but I didn't mind. I love their art all around, mostly of birds which I am obsessed with. I love that they have a lot of natural lighting coming through their tall windows. I also like the navy blue and white theme they have going on. The chai latte was perfect. It was the right color (a dark tan), meaning the ratio of tea and milk was good and I could taste a lot of the spices. The cinnamon bun blew my expectations away. The second my teeth made. contact with the icing, it was a magical feeling. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it tasted like, but the closest I got was dulce de leche. It is truly unlike any other cinnamon bun I have ever had. The dough is soft and there is a good amount of cinnamon. It's also $4 which is not bad. I had a bite of their canelé, which apparently requires a lot of work to make. It was very moist, with a great caramelized finish. I am super excited to try their new weekend dinner menu, but also more of their all day menu items.

    I bought a cinnamon bun ($5) and it was basic. Once you bite it, you realize it is just a brioche…read moredonut with some frosting. There were no cinnamon-butter layers inside it. The frosting was incredible though. That stuff could go on anything. The cinnamon buns at Oak Bakeshop and Whole Foods are much better with those typical gooey layers inside. Also, it was not large in size, anyone can eat it in one sitting. The worker who took my order was very friendly and it is so nice/comfortable inside there.

Favorites are the vegan bahn mi (with fried tofu and cashew pate, crunchy picked vegetables) the cardamom pancakes and the cheddar biscuits. Biscuits are huge and buttery with a moist interior and a crunchy outside. The pancakes are the biggest pancakes I've ever seen! They were bigger than our heads. We got three to share for the table but honestly one would have been enough. Cocktails are strong and the bloody mary was perfectly spicy. Service can be a little slow at times but was friendly and helpful. The music can also get loud and voices echo when it's busy. So don't bring your noise sensitive friends. Make sure you have a reservation as it can get crowded!

Service was friendly & helpful, and the menu offers many delicious sounding options. Food is fast casual style (order at the counter, get a card - here all were west side street signs, not the usual numbered placards, food will be delivered to your table. I had the avocado shakshuka, my husband had the lox omelet (see the photo). Despite the large menu of fancy coffee options, we each had a basic iced. It was served in a glass, which was a nice touch. Self serve milk was at a station in the dining room area. Coffee was good, cold but I would have traded some coffee for a bit more ice to stay that way as I drank it slowly. Both of us were surprised when our meals were delivered: the plates were beaut! In particular his omelet was absolutely gorgeous! Now for the flavors: the omelet had a generous helping of perfect cooked eggs (not sitting in a pile of grease, as restaurant omelets frequently are). It was so fluffy that we both thought "that's way more than the advertised 3 eggs," and the lox was thickly layered whole slices nestled inside the fold. Most places chop the lox like vegetables, add it to the eggs, & make it like a veggie omelet - meh. This iteration was perfect; the lox tasted like smoked salty fish, losing none of that flavor to the omelet itself. The potatoes? Fabulous! Great spice mix, cooked until they were crispy. That was a tasty bit of marble rye toast too. My shakshuka was very good, but a bit less successful. The elements were all excellent; the avocado was actually guacamole since it was mashed & there were tomatoes and spices in the dish. The combination worked, except for the bread element. The dish as presented was really more of an avocado toast with shakshuka on top. It might have been more successful to add the avocado/guacamole as a unique base on the plate, with the tomato sauce and eggs on top with toast on the side (as is the way shakshuka is traditionally served) because halfway through the bread got really soggy & less appetizing. Still, the first few bites, while everything was still warm? So good!

For the RI food fights challenge, they were serving a CRU Cookie Blazer--an iced dirty chai latte with hazelnut and vanilla syrup, vanilla cold foam, Oreos, and CRU mocha sauce. It's not normally on their menu, but they'll happily make it if you ask! This one was definitely more of a sweet treat than the bold coffee flavor I usually gravitate toward, but if you love dessert-inspired coffee drinks, this is right up your alley. I'll definitely be back because that lobster avocado toast has my name written all over it.

The rib-eye steak was flawlessly executed, cooked precisely to the requested temperature, and showcased the kitchen's remarkable attention to detail. We arrived without a reservation after the restaurant caught my eye from the street. Although we were told the dining room was fully booked, I asked if we could dine at the bar. The hostess kindly checked with Sarita, the bartender, who immediately welcomed us and took wonderful care of us throughout the evening. Her knowledge of wine was truly impressive, and her recommendations elevated the entire experience. Between courses, we were served a refreshing raspberry sorbet that was both elegant and delicious.
