Royal Cafe Bakery - Albany

Charming decor for a morning outing! This spot is the go-to breakfast destination in the city. The wait is definitely worth it—make sure to plan on about a 30-minute queue. Whether you come with a group of eight or just solo, you won’t be disappointed! I sampled their famous Skorn, which comes with a delicious lemon sauce. It was perfectly crumbly and wonderfully messy. I also had the homemade granola served with soy milk, and I let it soak a bit to soften—absolutely delicious. Matt ordered the breakfast omelet with cheddar, bacon, and avocado. The tables are equipped with real maple syrup and various salsas—those little details matter! Plus, there are free coffee refills, and the service is attentive; I never had a cold cup. They also accept credit cards here. The decor transports you back in time, and there’s even a small display of antique items near the jukebox, including old cameras and cookware.

The chicken and waffles were fantastic! Her Italian sausage was delicious as well. She especially loves the retro vintage decor.

It's no surprise that this restaurant has such a high rating. The decor is funky and eclectic, and the food is fantastic—especially the buckwheat pancakes and mocha. The service is excellent; the staff pays attention to the little details and are all incredibly friendly. The only downside is that it's not located nearby...

The menu is excellent, with the waffles being a highlight. The salmon cubes are generously portioned with high-quality salmon. The burgers and fries offer a delightful classic experience. They serve genuine maple syrup, which is a plus! Don’t miss the sourdough toast; it’s a must-try! The restaurant has a bright and airy ambiance with large windows, and outdoor seating is available. The nostalgic decor, featuring classic photos and advertisements, adds a fun touch to the atmosphere.

Fantastic location, excellent staff, and delicious food! We ordered the chicken and waffles as well as the cinnamon French toast, and I highly recommend both dishes!
