Royal Roastery is a roastery offering freshly roasted nuts, baklava, Turkish delight, ice cream,…read moreknafeh, desserts, Arab drinks, juices, and shakes. When I stopped by on a weekday evening at 9pm it was packed. They had stations setup throughout the store to order different goods, which helped to alleviate the rush. Knafeh ($6) - They offered 2 types of knafeh, one with cheese and one with custard. I went with the one made with Nabulsi cheese and topped with shredded phyllo, and soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more. Overall I was impressed with everything they offered here with the exception of the nuts, which I thought were just ok. I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

The desserts here are fun, unique, and very different from what you find at most places. My only…read morecomplaint is the lack of labeling for many of the products. For example, with the Turkish delights and ice cream selections, only a few items are labeled. For most of them, you have to guess the flavor or ingredients. When I asked questions, there was a language barrier, and the staff member behind the counter was unable to clearly explain what the items were in English. This can be especially frustrating for customers with food allergies or dietary restrictions. In the U.S., I would expect all flavors and ingredients to be clearly labeled so customers can make informed choices. Even if staff members are not fluent in English, having accurate labels for flavors and ingredients would greatly improve the customer experience. The desserts themselves are excellent, but better product labeling would make the experience much more enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

I've been coming here every week for several months now. They have my favorite coffee in the city -…read morethe Colombia. It has a cherry note that's unlike any other coffee I've had. It was a little odd at first but by the end of the cup I was loving it. If I want food, I always go for the tacos from Liberty Tacos. Never had their tacos before but let me tell ya - they're LEGIT! Great staff that is super friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely a must try if you like REAL COFFEE, not just milk with a splash of coffee.

The espresso itself is good, and the menu is small which I mostly enjoy. Today I was hoping to try…read moretheir specialty lattes but the menus don't offer any description on what's going on in the lattes and the line was long so I couldn't comfortably ask. I got a plain latte with an extra shot and a blueberry muffin. I was asked if I wanted the muffin warmed so I said yes, but the muffin came out cold. Overall, the experience was mid level at best. The coffee was good. The service was lacking, but I could've gotten a better muffin at H-E-B.

They offer both a house blend and a single-origin cold brew (neither was listed on the menu). I asked if I could try a sample and was met with a blank stare... fair enough. I ordered the house blend, but I was genuinely surprised to be charged an extra $1 for half and half. It's 2026.... half and half feels like the coffee equivalent of sugar at this point. Charging an upcharge for it is such a letdown. I really wanted to like Luce Ave, but half and half just isn't worth a $1 surcharge. Maybe I'll be back? Idk. Note: my cold brew with splash of half and half = ~$8

Great place to buy green (un-roasted) coffee beans. Large selection and friendly service…read more Although they sell to professional roasters and coffee shops, they also cater to the little guys like me who do it for fun (and attempt to save some money in the long run). As expected though, the larger your order is per pound, the more you'll save (I.e 50 lb bag is way cheaper than a 1 lb bag). It'll make sense to buy in bulk and find friends/family who would want to split with you to save money. Location is in the middle of nowhere, but it makes sense since it's mostly a warehouse with a small reception area. Although you can purchase online, I like to browse in person and try whatever sample(s) they are offering that day. The bags they sell in the reception area are just some of their offerings. Check out their website for a complete list. The receptionist was kindly able to grab a small bag of the beans from the warehouse that I requested. The roasted beans that they offer oddly have the expiration date rather than roast date. This is surprising to me because the roast date dramatically affect the quality of espressos. For espressos, I recommend sticking with green beans and roasting yourself. They offer tasting classes for a fee, but not all the time. Check out their website for available class dates. Receptionist was very nice, helpful, and friendly. She was still very new at her role and was learning about coffee and beans from the beginning. Best of luck to her caffeinated journey!
