We arrived when they were very busy but I can really say that the service we received was of the top 5 experiences of my life. Thanks to our waiter, Erica.We had a milkshake (which was okay), a double espresso (which was amazing!), The Royal Breakfast with extra chips and a breakfast wrap.I can honestly say the eggs, balsamic reduction, hash brown and Halloumi were the best we had tasted. And the meals as a whole were delicious. It tasted like food prepared with love and attention to detail and not just another dish. Only thing I might recommend is sharper knives but we will definitely be back again. Well done!
Just something out of heaven!Best croissants in Bloemfontein!
Stopped here on my way to Joburg and was really excited to try this place given the outstanding reviews.I left confused because neither the coffee or the food I had was particularly good. Dont get me wrong, it wasnt terrible and the service was fine but the coffee and my breakfast wrap were pretty flavourless. Definitely not 4.7 stars worth.Its one of those places that if it had a lower rating, youd be pleasantly surprised, but at 4.7 stars the bar was too high to meet my expectations.
Great coffee, awesome milkshakes.Food is great. Bit pricey, but a good place for some great food and Coffee.
The branch in Fleurdal is much better. the flat white there is EXCELLENT.
Very nice experience, excellent coffees and very interesting meals. It is well worth visiting
What a great surprise!!!I ordered 2 cappuccinos and bought 2 bags of their single origin beans.Both drinks were perfectly extracted packing tons of flavour and the milk treatment was top notch.The packaging of the beans provided a fair amount of detail about what was inside (although a little more wouldnt hurt).The barista was extremely knowledgeable and genuinely friendly and welcoming.Well definitely be back! A must visit if youre in Bloem!
Cute spot and friendly staff. Would have given it 5 stars but I don’t like processed cheese in sandwiches.
I have been to this particular Royal Roastery twice and have enjoyed the experience on both occasions.The coffee is truly a stand out in Bloemfontein and the establishment is attractive on the inside.The service is always speedy and kind and it is always a bonus when it is possible to purchase the roasterys beans at the counter.Great place for a date, especially on a rainy day.Would recommend and will be visiting again very soon!
This time around we wentbofvthe N1 for a bite. This will be our stop 🛑 food and service is fantastic. 5min detour that will make your trip worth while.
Friendly staff, service with a smile, awesome coffee and latte’s. Try there Vietnamese Iced Coffee! Simply tastes amazing! Food is also really nice! Always a nice experience!
Lovely Coffee and cakes. Very friendly people
We love this place - the staff have been there for years (and are clearly happy), the coffee is super and affordable, and the choice of plant-based milks is great.
Good coffee. Restrooms need a lot of attention.
Very relaxing atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Quality coffee and great milkshakes. The toasted sandwiches are very nice.
Great for coffee, although the cake serving needs a serious update considering the price.
Best coffee in town!
Great coffee. Try the hash brown tower - delicious!
Coffee fundiies for sure but would like my Coffee bit hotter

Another really nice coffee shop in Bloemfontein
Best coffee, best staff, best chip spice! 10/10 do recommend.
Great coffee in a good spot in langenhoven park
Excellent coffee and the staff are always friendly, I try hard to not skip a day without my Tall Flat White fix.Thanks
Kind a d friendly staff
Good service, nice presentation
Spectacular coffee. What a wonderful find in Bloemfontein.My flat white had excellent texture, temperature and a wonderfully rounded flavour. Beans are roasted with care and a great blend is in use here. Definitely on my list of places to stop at whenever in town again
Good coffee friendly service thank you
Amazing coffee!
Amazing coffee!
Best coffee in Bloem and wonderful staff to top it off!
One of the few specialty coffee places in Bloem. The quality of the coffee is superior and their passion exceptional. Especially considering they have to cater for a very coffee-conservative community.Be sure to try something from the manual brewing station, but if youre not yet ready for black coffee at least have a flat white. The milk texture (and temperature) was perfect. We also enjoyed the chocolate cheesecake.
This is a Decent Effort of an Upmarket Coffee Roastery/Shop. I dont think the ambiance they tried to create is spot-on and they should work on this. The Coffee is decent, they just need to get the tastes consistent. Over-all not too bad.
The waitress informed me that my order, a toasted sandwich, would take a long time to prepare - seeing that they are busy. They were at approximately 40% capacity. After 25 minutes, she returned and enquired if the order could be cancelled - as the kitchen had not yet begun preparing the sandwich. The service was not much better on the previous occasions I sat down for a cup of coffee, and therefore, the 2 stars reflect my experiences at the Royal Roastery over a duration of a few months. Slow service aside, I do enjoy their coffee.
Great coffee! They also have really good food and cakes! Its the best place for breakfast or an afternoon tea!
Not impressed
Always a happy place for us. Delisious food and heavenly coffee.
This is hands down the best place to go for good coffee in Bloem. The atmosphere is laid back but the staff are friendly and professional. Their baristas are well trained and versed in the complexities of coffee brewing and culture. Best example of a coffee shop in the Free State, but they also do fancy tea and deli style snacks, definitely worth a stop.
The best coffee shop!
Nice smoothie
This is the only coffee shop in Bloem that has “THAT” coffee shop vibe! Just the right spot, best coffee & delightful baristas! And... They Always have cake!!
Best coffee. Good service. Good food. Beautiful place.
Great coffee shop
Excellent coffee!Very good fresh breakfast. Breakfast menu limited.
Me and my wife just had an amazing breakfast and coffee! Amazing atmosphere, excellent service and great tasting food and coffee!
My favorite coffee in Bloemfontein by far! 😍 has a nice comfortable warm vibe and the food and drinks are amazing
Five stars for coffee, staff and location. Best place to sit on the stoep in autumn.
Lovely atmosphere and great coffee and the seasoning on the chips is awesome😋
Best coffee in Bloemfontein
Great coffee, service a little slow and dont sit at the table immediately outside as the birds in the roof may bless you!
Loved the coffee
Wide variety of tasty coffee avaliable, as well as a selection of cakes and cheesecakes on hand.
Great coffee and eats. Like the cheesecake
Amazing food and coffee, coupled with a nice atmosphere. A place I would definitely visit again.
Great coffee and the vibe inside is freat recommended to anyone who loves coffee and tea
Excellent place to have a great cup of Barista style coffee
Great coffee!
Best cappuccino I have ever had. Friendly staff. great experience
The frozen mint lemonade was beautifully refreshing. It tasted of fresh lemon & mint, not sweetly cloying....and was properly icy.
Such a great place, modern and exciting. Really great speciality coffee too. They have Chemex, V60, Syphon, Aeropress, and all the espresso based drinks!
Very good coffee. If you ask the barrista he gives a very informative demonstration about the origens of coffee and how it is roasted and prepared.
This is where you undoubtedly get the best up of coffee in Bloemfontein
Great coffee and milkshake
Coffee was excellent, great variety! The normal espressos, americanos, cappuccinos etc. Then they also have slow brews, aeropress, V60, chemex and siphon! The food was also great, we had breakfast, I had the Royal Breakfast, it was very tasty and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I did feel the portion was a little small, I could have done with a bit more food, perhaps adding some chips would have been a good idea.
They have a very nice hazelnut ice coffee and delicious cakes.
Perfect and amazing coffee and cake. Loved the variety
Service was good, waiter very friendly, food was delish we even had a doggy bag to take home.
Good coffee, tasty breakfast, great value for money
The connoisseurcoffee shop - for your own coffee beans or just to enjoy a cup of your favourite brew.
They know their products and gave me good advice on what to buy
Very disappointing. The tables were dirty and oily (which ruined my sisters leather bag). The Vietnamese ice coffee is a HUGE let down. Rather go someplace else.
Brilliant kuier spot.. great coffee
Very nice atmosphere and lovely people. If you looking for freshly roasted beans and a great experience this is the place to come.
Good coffee that they roast themselves and good food friendly staff
One of the best coffee shops in Bloem with a lovely locale and friendly staff.
Good, fresh coffee and really down-to-earth service.
The best coffee combined with outstanding food and friendly staff...definitely not the ordinary coffee shop...highly recommended!
Nice coffee
Great coffee... Love the decor!
Wonderful service
