    Located in the heart of the historic LeDroit Park neighborhood, Royal is an all day spot – coffee shop by day and bar/kitchen by night. Beautiful. Elegant. Intimate. Read more

    We love this place for many reasons: the chic, cozy space and convivial ambiance, the coffee-and-cocktails options, and the delicious Colombian cuisine that meets a variety of dietary needs. Read more

    We couldn’t decide which dish on the table was our favorite. I’ll be dreaming of the Masa Gnocchi for months. And the House Fries and Beef Arepas were also delicious.

    Exactly the kind of restaurant I love. Hip, casual and full of pretty people. The food is outstanding and eclectic with influences from several types of cuisine but remains strongly rooted in Latino.

    Stuffed arepa was pretty good. Pricey, though. Order at the bar & seat yourself, which is unclear at first. Still figuring things out (lady @ the register didn't know what an arepa was). Worth a try.

    The veg dish w/ tomatoes, butter lettuce, corn and chickpeas was incredibly flavorful: crisp lettuce with melt-in-your-mouth tomatoes and mild feta compliment the contrasting chickpea/corn textures.

    Love that they are open all day long. A good place to do some work, grab some decent bites, and switch into a drink later.

    Good stop - especially for breakfast. Coffee is above average and the breakfast arepa is tasty. Feels a little pricey overall.
