Really good coffee here at this cafe. They also do some really delicious ‘pides’ which are great for breakfast. Service is very friendly

not a bad place to go to for a quick brunch being close to uni but on the other side so it's not as busy, staff are lovely and it's got a homey feel to it, stocks usual cafe stuff, am a fan of their muffins

can't be beaten on price! fantastic food - must try the steak sandwich very juicy! great coffee, busy with people taking their lunch and making a stop mid-shop. everything a cafe should be!

Cafe Royale is a small family-run cafe just near where I work on Royal Parade (hence the name - geddit?). I always enjoy seeing two or three generations of the family working there when I go for some lunch.

They serve good, honest cafe fare - foccacias, sandwiches, burgers, steak sandwiches (my favourite), chips, dim sims etc. It's actually a refreshing change from the overly trendy and overpriced cafes that dominate the landscape around Melbourne Uni.

They do a decent coffee and have some nice sweet treats on offer as well. The food's nothing out of the ordinary, but the quality has always been good and best of all, everything is great value. I often see a lot of labourers getting there lunch here, which I think sums up the place - good, honest, tasty food with no pretensions and excellent prices.

Approximate cost: $5-7
