    First of all, best coffee anywhere! My scrambled eggs were soft scrambled to perfection but sadly they were not still hot when they arrived at my table. There were four of us and one order was wrong but promptly corrected. Overall, the most reasonably priced, yummiest breakfasts in Old Towne…and we drive 45 minutes just to eat at The Royal Restaurant!

    The food was generally ok but cold. Unfortunately the service matched with it taking over 30 minutes for our order to arrive (arriving cold).
