We eat here once a week, food has been excellent every time. Service is great! We have tried every restaurant in the area for breakfast, since we have been coming here it's the only place we go, never disappointed! read more

Great little hidden gem for breakfast/brunch! Prompt service with a smile, it's right next to a great place for fresh sourdough bread! Will definitely return to try more food read more

Outside area could be a European bistro or at least something in Orange County ! Inside is a bit more of your standard American diner. Service was good, excellent breakfast selection for this part of the world, reasonably priced, good quality and good portion size. What's not to like ? If we're ever in this part of the world again will definitely stop in again. read more

We love this place. The food is always yummy, servers are sweet and take good care of us. The outdoor area is dog friendly.

Food is always great and service too. I live in Calimesa it's a good place for breakfast and lunch only they don't serve dinner. Too bad we don't have enough choices. read more

Very thankful for the staff at this restaurant. Today was super busy for Father's Day and they were really hustling. Jamie handled some difficult (rude!) customers with admirable grace. We have so much respect for all of the staff! Love, Your Regulars! read more

This place has not disappointed. The food is always delicious and fresh and made with care. This is the first place I tried a Monte Christo sandwich. Utterly amazing!! The ambience is simple and cozy which goes perfect with the comfort food served there. I can't recall ever having been disappointed with the service here. The staff is always friendly, courteous and attentive. It never feels like you have to wait too long for food to be served and it's always the right temperature. I hope this place is around for many years to come. read more

Wanted breakfast on a Sunday and Clarkies was closed so my friend and I ended up here. I ordered the multigrain pancake combo and added chocolate chips. The pancakes are pretty good but quite a bit smaller than clarkies. There is also an up charge of $1.50 to add chocolate chips, which is a little steep but they're good so not a huge deal. What I don't like is if you order a tall stack of pancakes, which I took home to my kids, there is one cost but to make them multigrain it's another $1.50. So for a tall stack of multigrain chocolate chip pancakes it's an extra $3. I know prices have gone up but I just don't love places that nickel and dime people. Bottom line is if clarkies is open I'm going there but in a pinch this place is a decent second. read more

Me and a friend stumbled on this place for breakfast and was welcomed by nice staff. This has an older dinner atmosphere with food that is filling and healthy. read more

My wife and I are frequent customers and for the most part we are happy with the service and the food is pretty good. However, today was a different story. Jamie, our server was terrible and had an attitude. The problem I have with Kafe Royale is I feel they have an ENTITLEMENT attitude. They have this persona that they are entitled to a tip regardless of the service they give. We traditional leave a generous tip when service is good... we value and reward good service, but also if you don't give it you won't get it! You get what you give soya speak. Jamie displayed her attitude again when we were departing because she didn't like her tip, very rude and condescending parting comment from her. But is it her fault she feels entitled, maybe not... because the owner has a sign that says all takeout orders will be AUTOMATICALLY charged a 12% gratuity.... Automatically... you don't even get the choice of the percent of the tip or not. Whaaaat? Tips are designed to reward good service not automatic. I find this very displeasing when someone feels entitled vs rewarded. And as for Jamie, I will not have her as my server going forward. Very poor!! read more

Great food and service! The staff makes you feel so welcome! Great breakfast and lunch selections.

Found our new breakfast place. Ambience was great ! Inside and outside seating. Food- Monte Cristo and Chicken fried steak was excellent Big portions Menu options for breakfast and lunch were abundant and appealing. Texted family while we were there- told them the family had a new breakfast place. Sorry it took us this long to discover you. Highly recommend!!! read more

Had lunch here today for 1123 had the Tri tip jacked up with jalapenos added onions absolutely no flavor to them and they charge me extra for the onions not worth the money Spoke to someone in regards to it and all they can say is we add for extras have a nice day! read more

Food was delicious!! The service was fast, friendly, and very attentive! Great place for families. Would definitely come back for breakfast.

No 1/2 and 1/2 for coffee. I don't use the fake creamers at all. Pork chop was full of gristle and fat. Eggs were under done and had a runny white. read more

Food was cold from the kitchen. It was bland as well. I found a hair in my hash browns. Server was nice enough to bring replacement, but had lost my appetite by then. She took my plate off the bill. Hubby wasn't impressed with his omelette either. It was our first time and unfortunately our last read more

Very nice ambience in the outdoor courtyard and indoor booth seats. Friendly, attentive staff. Clean bathrooms. We really enjoyed the tri-tip sandwich and delicious barbecue sauce. The kids had grilled cheese and french fries, which were big portions. Delicious beef and vegetable soup. Big parking area in rear of strip mall, where I parked my RV trailer. My only complaint is that it is a little expensive, but maybe not for the area. $50 for my family, with my wife and I splitting a sandwich. I was surprised my sandwich didn't come with any side, and it was five dollars extra to add 6 onion rings. Kids meals didn't cone with a drink, and apple juice was $2.50 each. Unlimited, fresh brewed iced tea. Great place to eat with a family! read more

Just moved to the area and was pleasantly surprised. The service was fantastic. The food was great I had the Grits combo, and believe it or the grits were properly cooked. Which is a rare in a restaurant. Also had sausage and toast, plus coffee which was also very good. Good place to come back to. read more

The food's great if you like your open faced turkey sandwich to consist of grocery store white bread, boxed Mashed potatoes, and cold turkey lunch meat slathered with canned gravy. Oh, I almost forgot the slice of canned cranberry sauce they plop on the side. Yum. read more

Excellent food, great service. Truly a hidden gem. Reasonably priced. Tucked away in a corner so easy to miss. If you're in the area stop in for breakfast or lunch read more

Best breakfast around the area. I recommend order the steak and eggs special or the eggs Benedick. And the servers and owner are so polite and make sure your food is cooked exactly how you order it. Five stars for sure. read more

We go there almost every other Sunday. I love the breakfast. Very quick service. The seating place has many choices. In door or out door or big group, accommodate all. Very friendly customers service. I love to go there to meet with friends. Definitely one of my favorite breakfast places to go. read more

I'm so disappointed because I came here one other time and was so happy with the food and service...all I can say is don't come around closing. They closed on a Labor Day weekend around 1:40 (closing on as supposed to be at 2p. We got there around 1p) The food was still decent..Even though the servers were nice, they interrupted our meal to have me get up and close our tab early and started vacuuming near us. I did ask them to not continue around us because we had out baby with us. I asked what was going on and she said that they've been slow and if they don't close now they will get customers in last minute having them stay til 3 or later. Hmmm you know it just didn't make us feel very comfortable or even welcomed. And to top it off it was me and my husband anniversary so I really wanted to enjoy being out with him, Well if your looking for a good cafe/brunch spot we will just go back to Carolyn's in Redlands. The women never rush you out around closing, they never close early and the food is worth the wait. Truly disappointing. Really couldn't reflect about anything else because it's really about the customer service for us. read more
