I saw this Middle Eastern coffee shop on Instagram, and the desserts looked amazing, so I was excited to try it. I'm glad to say it lived up to the hype! They have a beautiful display of sweets, and on the other side there's almost a candy shop feel with a wide selection of treats, including gift boxes. We ordered 2 cheesecakes (Dubai chocolate and Biscoff cookie), a hot Turkish coffee, and an iced pistachio latte. Everything was delicious! The cheesecakes were dense and rich, and the coffee had a nice aroma. Overall, we had a great experience. A few small things could be improved--the dessert containers could look a bit more elegant to match the presentation, there could be more seating, and the lighting could feel warmer and less like an office setting. I'd definitely come back to try more desserts and drinks! read more

This place is absolute madness if you go during peak hours/weekends. Personally, I think there is a huge flaw in how the lines for items are run. They have different stations for different desserts - one for Turkish delights, one for ice cream, once for pastries and drinks. The way the lines are laid out gets lost when there are too many people in line. Individuals care cutting the line, not paying attention because there just people everywhere. I also noted a difference in how customers were treated. During my visit, those who spoke the native language of the staff were given more attention and patients. Those that didn't, like myself, did not get the same treatment. That being said, I tried their pistachio latte which was good. They have a big selection of chocolate treats, coffees, and other similar items. Pretty cool place and I may visit on no busy days or once the hype dies down. As it is now, I wouldn't. read more

We came in, so many people.....ouch the light was way way way too bright.... making us uncomfortable. Plus the middle eastern music was very fast and a little loud.....I think to make people uncomfortable and increase guest turnover. Afterall, if students /adults use their laptops and sit here for hours only ordering a cup of coffee, they don't make profits. They like guests who come in for 10 minutes and spend $50 and then go. Orange knafa 5/5 really good Caramel macchiato 5/5 super good......the aroma so smooth and not too sweet. High quality coffee, there was no sour aftertaste. Mango gelatto 5/5 tasted very fresh and creamy.... lots of mango chunks in it. The thing that was negative was the baklava glass cases. I am 5 ft 1 inch, the baklava glass case was even couple inches taller than me; I couldn't hear what the server was saying, he couldn't hear what I was saying behind the tall glass cases. He himself was probably 5 ft 7 inch. I could only point to the pieces I want and used my fingers to indicate 1 piece, 2 pieces, etc. Very frustrating. Then we looked at turkish delight section and got super confused....they are uncut big giant rolls of turkish delights, we did not want to buy too much.... but confused as there's no precut pieces. So we didn't buy them read more

This place got a lot of social media hype on Instagram, so I wanted to check it out. The ice cream was not that good. It wasn't the sticky ice cream like at Big Dash. They did have a large selection of candy, and a newer space, but overall I didn't think it was all that great, limited indoor seatings and very hash bright lighting, really need to work on better layout and warmer lighting. read more

This place has almost like a market feel. Tons of tea and spice option. Cafe also offers an extended menu. Service takes time because everything is made fresh. There was an odd smell in the cafe area and all the chairs needed to be cleaned. The cafe also doesn't have mugs in house. Overall decent place. read more

Yay! I'm so excited to finally have them close to me! I have been to the one in Houston and New Orleans. Great quality nuts. I love grabbing a mix bag. They have a lot of other goodies to check out. Definitely a multiple visit situation to try everything. They have a bunch of viral desserts if you're looking for any of those. I already know I'll be back! read more

First time visiting and was super overwhelmed. The layout of items is down well however there's no help managing lines/check out, etc. the store is overly crowded and noisy. The variety of treats and items is great, a bit overpriced, but definitely a favorite local spot for the community. read more

The selection of candies (chocolates) spiced nuts, baklava and cakes is overwhelming. Come here on a Saturday and they were understaffed. They got one of our orders wrong and forgot another's dessert. So 2 out of three orders where a miss. Coffee was good and so was everything else. read more

OMG Late Night Baklava over a dozen different varieties served up until midnight? That alone would be worth a visit, but tons of candies and other desserts available as well, plus delicious tea. You can't go wrong! read more

Talking about feeling like a kid in the candy store... Yes I did! The decor is phenomenal. Your eyes went everywhere, because of all the delicacy inside this place. You can also get coffee beans ground to your taste. Everyone inside was willing to assist you when you were ready or if you had questions. Since the weather was nice I sat on the patio and enjoyed my cheesecake, just a perfect evening. read more

The place is bright and open. There are a lot of different chocolate selling by weight. Delicious roasted nuts and tea. We ordered lemon and chocolate ice cream, the chocolate have pieces of chocolate in it. It was really good. We also had kanafa and pistachio coffee Both are excellence. The service was great. read more

The kunafas are the best - mildly sweet. The dark Dubai chocolate was the next best - filling was mild and very fresh. The Dubai cheesecake and baklavas were too sweet for my taste. read more

Best knafa in America. We tired many places but this place is incredible. We got 3 pieces thinking we wouldn't eat in 1 day. Couldn't resist. Delicious. Went back with a friend week later and knafa again is the best consistency and they try hard to meet customer satisfaction. New employee messed up our order and they fixed promptly. Made effort to talk with us. Definitely my place to take friends for coffee and so many option's . read more

As a black man that took his Arab girlfriend here. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE BLACK. They are disrespectful, dismissive, and rude the minute we walked in we were given looks of disapproval being skipped in line to pay for our treats purposely given the wrong orders twice. Still never got the right order. If you are black and you want to experience another culture especially Arab culture don't come here they don't want you to be there and they will show it. Unprofessional and Racist. I didn't argue I simply just left no scene to cause just a bad review and a warning to stay away if you are black. Richardson location in Dallas Texas. I just couldn't believe how terrible I was treated here after hearing how cool the place was will not be returning here. I know not to be where I'm not wanted read more

Ambiance is nice & cozy. Very beautiful coffee pots. Many options in pastries. Lots of loose tea in amazing flavors. Huge assortment of candy & nuts. The service is terrible.

Shaam at Royal Roastery is a great employee who provides friendly, attentive service and makes the experience feel welcoming. They're helpful, professional, and contribute to a smooth and positive visit. read more

NOT WORTH THE HYPE!!! Pastries are horrible, the cakes are okay. The kunafa is salty. This place is already charging you so much but at what cost?! not even worth the money. They should really focus on their food rather than the aesthetics because I wouldn't ever go there again. Bigdash is so much better. read more
