What a rare find in Monroe. Delicious pastries in the cases and looks like they do a good take out of pizza and paella. When you step in it smells so good. Friendly service she explained all the pastries. Tried several desserts but will be back to try more. read more

We both really liked the cheese bread. I thought the pepperoni with garlic was really good but I think it would be better cooked a little extra. My boyfriend liked it but just thinks there's a lot of better pizza options. The ambiance is on the boring side, definitely a starting business. I thinks it's definitely worth a try! read more

After seeing a couple reviews of Royals Mollete, I knew I wanted to try it the next time I passed through Monroe. We ordered a Monroe-style pepperoni pizza, a cherry pastry, a strawberry pastry, a Nutella pastry and a slice of caramel-chocolate cheesecake. My favorite items were the cherry pastry and the cheesecake. I would definitely buy those two items again. I was not fond of the Nutella pastry which mostly tasted like phyllo dough with little flavor. Th pizza was interesting but not particularly special in my opinion. It needed more and better sauce, but if you love a thick crust and lots of cheese, it might be up your alley. The quantity of pepperoni on the pizza however was impressive. read more

Their sourdough with parm crusted pizza, was outstanding. I added ham and not Italian sausage but their sausage which is a small flavorful link about breakfast sausage sized and Spanish ham is known for being great. Creamy cheese and a sprinkling of seasoning. Damn. The owner and his employee were nice. The best pizza in Monroe usually comes from bars having a good night, for $12-14 this 12" pizza from a pretty amazing bakery/eatery is worth the trip. I'll be back. Monroe has great pizza now. Before you only had ok. read more

Royals Mollete Barcelona Bakery - Spanish ham and sausage "Monroe Style". Beautiful, no flop, fresh sauce, creamy cheese. Delicioso. - Bakeries Near Me - Monroe, Michigan

The service was authentic and friendly. The baker was an interesting person to chat with. The decor is industrial but clean. We didn't order a pizza this time, but we'll get one in a couple of weeks. We tried an assortment of their pastries, and they were delicious and fresh, just the way I like them. The fruits were crisp and flavorful. The only thing I missed was an espresso. read more

This place has a really good yelp rating, but I'm not sure what all the hype is about. We drove from Toledo to check it out. The pastries and cheesecake were good and the service was great. The interior is laid out oddly and you're not really sure what to do when you walk in. They have pizza too, but we don't try it. While everything was good, I would never make a special trip to go here. There are plenty of other dessert places would I go instead. read more

I have really enjoyed everything I have tried here so far. The #1 sandwich was very good, the meat was easy to chew and flavorful, the sauce was everything!!! The donuts, both Nutella and custard were some of the best I've had. They have Spanish omelettes that look amazing, but I haven't yet tried. I will be going back to do that soon. Lots of interesting pastries. I have a crème brûlée one for later tonight that looks almost to good to eat, but we will lol. Highly recommend you check them all. Please note: the entire sandwich menu was not available, they had 3 to choose from which the young lady working told me immediately so I knew which options I had. They may the full menu when business gets rolling, of that I'm not sure. read more

The paella was horrible and overpriced, mushy, overcooked and was not made with quality ingredients. The owner was not pleasant and refused to give clear answers when I asked if the seafood was fresh and if they used saffron in the paella. Owner: The rice is not frozen. Me: Thanks for letting me know. I'm still curious about the seafood. Is it fresh? Owner: Have you ever had paella before? Me: Yes, I have. Do you use saffron? Owner: Where? Tell me you don't use saffron & fresh seafood in your paella without telling me you don't use saffron & fresh seafood in your paella... read more

First time trying this place. Didn't have any idea what to get, but we ended up getting a garlic beef, garlic soup, and a donut. The garlic beef was excellent. The bread and aioli really make this an exceptional sandwich. The garlic soup is very warming and isn't as strong as you might think garlic soup would be. The donut had some weight, but light and airy at the same time. Fast, friendly service and they got the food out pretty quickly. Went back the next day and noticed that they will have pizza soon. I saw some on display and they looked good. read more

What a little hidden gem in Monroe. Stopped off here on my way home and to my surprise it was an amazing! I ordered a coffee and the crash eggs but no wrap and WOW!!!!! Made me feel like I was back in Spain. So delicious! It had potatoes bravas, alioli, two eggs, bacon, cheese. I also order two pasties, one apple and one cherry and they were just as amazing. The owner was so friendly and took the time to show us pictures of the menu. Definitely will be back here. read more

came here after seeing a bunch of awesome reviews on facebook and a relative speaking highly of it. the pizza was AWESOME, like so so good. heavy with toppings, the cheese on it was out of this world, and it was a great price. we also ordered the seafood paella, which was fresh and delicious- the shrimp in it was some of the best i've ever had. on top of that, the pastries looked too good to miss out. the owner is amazing and incredibly hardworking, waking up early to freshly make his pastries, making his pizza dough from scratch, and interacting with customers. this place is awesome. was so awesome to find a taste of spain in monroe read more

Not your typical bakery or pastery shop... its SO much better! The mollete rolls are yeasty and chewy, the Barcelona cream on the pastries is velvety smooth and not too sweet. The Spanish coffee is very dark, but not harsh or bitter, and the gespacho is fresh and delicious! Did I forget to mention the variety of mollete sandwiches? Stop in, grab a bite, and welcome this new eatery to Monroe! read more

Fantastic Spanish pastries. I stopped by late in the day expecting not many pastries left. And they do go quickly as this bakery is seeing more customers with every passing day - great sign! I was able to get a crème brûlée molette and a kiwi molette. The Barcelona cream on these pastries is fantastic. Not too sweet but a creamy welcoming flavor. The molette itself is wonderful. They also have Spanish hot foods too - will have to try. Spanish coffee also excellent. And a got the potato and onion Spanish omelette to take home for today's breakfast. Wow! Absolutely phenomenal! A must try. And the staff is extremely welcoming. This is a very unique bakery to Monroe and Southeastern Michigan, if not all of Michigan. If you are a foodie, this is an absolute must go! I look forward to visiting again. read more

Went for lunch yesterday and enjoyed everything I tried. Amazing Spanish tortilla/omelette with potatoes, onion and egg. Garlic beef mollete sandwich. Followed by a pineapple and coconut pastry. Can't wait to return and try more items. Highly recommended. read more

Ordered a large pepperoni pizza, only one crust option "Monroe style" and apparently that means thick on the edge around it that you hold. There was a lot of pepperoni and decent amount of cheese and sauce, all had good flavor. The issue w this crust is that the part you hold rises so much that all the toppings shift toward the middle. You will wait a while as it was a 30 min cook time. Got there a little early and bought several pastries, all were very good and not overly sweet. read more

Dateline - Monroe, Michigan. In a nondescript shopping mall, with plenty of parking. Clean and neat interior. Half dozen or so two-person tables. Ladywife and I stopped there on a Wednesday lunch hour, after Yelp suggested this as a sandwich option on our way from Detroit to Columbus. We were only customers. We ordered the garlic beef and Grandmother's Chicken, not knowing what to expect having never eaten mollettes before. Both were open-faced sourdough bread roll sandwiches, good soft yet chewy bread. A highpoint of the sandwich. The beef was tender with a nice garlic seasoning. Both came with Lettuce tomato onion pepperoncino peppers,. Solid good sandwiches made quickly at reasonable prices ($8.90 for the garlic beef, $6.90 the chicken). Dessert we got an open-faced baked apple and custard tart sort of thing on a light, flaky, layered dough, with almond slivers on top. Quite good. Not cloyingly sweet. They had multiple - strawberry, kiwi, blueberry and others - to choose among. At $3 it was easily enough for two people. Service was quick, though could've been a little more proactive in describing or explaining things. Would definitely return if was in the Monroe area. read more

Grandmas Chicken sandwich was great! I want to try the pizza soon! Great service too.

We had been hearing a lot about this restaurant, most of it good. We go out for dinner every Friday and always look for a locally owned place to try. When we walked in we noticed the owner was all by himself serving his customers. He took time to speak to each of his customers and take their orders. It was a bit of a wait before he took our order (20 min). Once he had our order we had the food in our hands in about 10 minutes. The food (spicy garlic beef wrap and pepperoni pannini) was great. We were looking at the pizzas he was making and we will be back to try those too. He is very generous with his toppings unlike the the other franchise pizza places. We will be back. BTW, I am not from California, I live in Monroe, Michigan where this restaurant is located. read more

I stopped here because I've heard so many good things about this place. I was having folks over for dinner and needed dessert. I decided to grab an assortment of their pastries and they looked so yummy. so after dinner I had taken and cut them in 4's because they were so large and people got to taste several different ones. my company raved about my dinner but said the desserts were a great addition. the desserts are very light and delicious . I will definitely stop by for more. they do have lunch items that look yummy and carry a variety of Spanish dishes. The owner was really great and appreciative for my order. he even gave me a sample of other items. read more

Cocas de recapte, a typical Barcelona food, legend has it that they predate pizzas because tomatoes did not arrive in Europe until after 15 the century and many of these cocas de not carry it, now open Monroe Michigan. With many decades of experience the Master Baker from Barcelona has opened in Monroe Michigan a three year journey delayed by covid. In the book "Llibre de Sent Sovi" written in 1324, the recipe for the famous Barcelona cream is written, come to Royal's Mollete to eat and taste that old recipe and more......so what's a Mollete Royal's Mollete (Mollete Real in Spanish recipe of the year 1554) a bread recipe that is almost 500 years old, a truly exquisite bread, now made daily in Monroe in a special oven shipped from Spain. We visited 2nd day open last Saturday for magical desserts like we've never eaten before. A delicious Apple n Barcelona Cream OMG absolutely fantastic,  a Spaghetti Squash filled n topped with mind blowing flavors.  A Chocolate type filled Mollete outstanding.  Most unique flavorful sandwich the Mollete Garlic Beef WOWED a instant addiction,  nothing like this in the USA.  I  have so much to learn about this food.  Had Barcelona Gazpacho Spanish cookbooks classify gazpacho as a salad. The most frequently encountered gazpacho is an uncooked mixture of tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, water, vinegar, onions, cucumbers, and green peppers, thickened with bread crumbs. We so Loved this drink bought a big cup for the ride home. Big dining room and Restroom to enjoy a meal inside.  A selection of a dozen Mollete sandwiches looking forward to trying them all.  Be patient they just opened and selling out of many goods each day. Location 600 North Telegraph Monroe Mi. #royalsmollete @royalsmollete #barcelona #bakery #mollete #barcelonabakery #gazpacho #garlicbeef #downriverfriendseat read more

Phenomenal baked goods, in many varieties. I would urge people to try some of their unusual pastry option, I particularly love their squash glazed pastry- phenomenal! Their gazpacho is not always available, but definitely worth a try. I look forward to trying their house made sandwiches. They make their own bread, which is absolutely divine. The pastries are the highlight though: fruit with homemade cream, fruit with Nutella, coconut garnish, nuts, really fantastic flavor pairings. Worth a visit! read more

Wonderful. Pasteries are very good and unique. The owner is very interesting and so proud of his endeavor. He is willing to take time to explain the various options. He offers breakfast and lunch and dinner sandwiches and wraps of family Spanish origins. Service is excellent. Very accommodating The space is clean and welcoming. There are tables to eat there and many seem to do take out. Anxious to go back - read more

Went in for dinner - what we ate was tasty, but the sandwiches are quite small and we were still hungry after finishing. The meat for our sandwiches was kind of oddly sitting in teflon pans in a glass case (seemed warm-ish at least). Looots of grease when we picked them up, probably the only criticism of the food. There don't appear to be any options for sides / meals / combos either, which all seems kind of odd. Server was friendly and attentive, the place seemed clean, but it's just an odd situation somehow. Want to go back for the pastries and see if that's a better option here. read more

Locally owed and delicious. Quality food at a fair price. There is no shortage of toppings on the pizza like most other places. Highly recommend. read more

Very nice relaxing atmosphere. We had takeout but it would be a gray place to meet for coffee and breakfast or lunch. Food was great. Had the beef sandwich and an assortment of pastries. All were excellent. Will definitely return. read more

I've been hearing sooo much about this hidden gem from almost all my foodie friends and now I see why, I didn't know that this quality of homemade food could be found at all in Monroe let alone at this price I was equally impressed by the service I received from a young lady named mallory who is very insightful about the history of this authentic Spanish cuisine..I would highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner and if you have an event of any type and want to leave a very very deep long lasting impression...you might consider them catering your next event read more

A colleague brought some beautiful pastries and fantastic cheesecake into work and the whole office was very impressed. She also brought some omelets and mollete bread, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. It was all incredibly flavorful and delicious, with absolutely perfect textures, and the aioli is just outstanding; she actually ended up bringing me a whole bottle of the aioli a week or so later because I raved so much. I'm not quite sure if I'll be sharing it with my family or not, it's just that delicious. Try this place, you won't be sorry. read more
