The Royal Egg Cafe

"Cashier: "That'll be $26.03." Me: "Really? The menu says $20.50." Cashier: "There's a mandatory 15% surcharge on every order." Hey Royal Egg Cafe owner -- are you open to a few suggestions to improve the dining experience? First, be honest. Tip-creep. Tip-flation. Call it what you want, but please publish the actual cost of your food on your menu. Customers (including this one) will reward you for it. Second, if you want customers to pay a mandatory tip for counter service, then at least instruct your team to bring us water and utensils, instead of making us get them ourselves from the little cart up front. Lastly, offer complimentary refills on all beverages, and instruct a server to routinely top off customer's drinks, without us having to get up from the table. My two cents."

"I went to order a breakfast sandwich for $17.95. It looked good. It also comes with a kale salad which I’m not a fan of kale. They said “you can have potatoes for an extra $1 which is ok, or a fruit salad for an extra $5.” Then I was ready to pay for a take out order. It was $25. I said “wait how much is the tax”. I noticed it was about $5. I’m like how much is the tax she said it’s an extra 15% service fee added. I don’t mind leaving a tip but to be charged 9% then another 15% on top of that & having a 24% tax on a to go egg sandwich is absurd! I said I don’t want to pay that much extra tax, plus I only had a certain amount of cash. I would have liked to give the small independent restaurant the business, but that fee forced me to go next store to Jersey Mikes for a sandwich with a lot of meat for $12. 1/2 the cost."

"Michigan fan visiting the area for the Rose Bowl. Stopped here for breakfast, don’t let the 4.1 ⭐️ fool you. This place slaps! The breakfast burrito was AMAZING! It was so fresh and looked great. If I am ever back in the area, this is my new breakfast spot. Staff were friendly and the food came out fast. Very chill vibe. Love this place! #GoBlue"

"Very rare for me to want to give a full 5 star review!!! I had to visit twice on two separate days just to verify if what I had the first day was right! The benny(Benedict) was amazing! Put some avocados and order a fresh orange juice and wow! The salad that comes with it is so good! Refreshing to a sense that, again, I had to come twice to check! If you don’t believe me then you and I are definitely enjoying life differently lol"

"8/4/23. The food is still amazing. I tried the Bourbon Maple Latte. Don't hate it , but don't love it. It is sweet. It comes in either whole milk or non dairy. All price will include 15% service charges. However, I was surprised to see a tip cup at the cash register as well. If you would prefer to give more than 15% because the service is awesome, why not. Amazing and fresh foods. Reasonable price. If we live closer, I would be here every day!!! I normally get the Keto bowl, a must have"
