The staff here are very friendly and patient which I really appreciate as an anxious person. They made me feel welcome. Food options were really good and with vegetarian options too! It did feel a bit noisy at times and the person I was with's coffee looked a bit funky. Prices were amazing for what you get.

Today 18th. March I went into Cafe Royale with my daughter in law. At the moment she can’t eat a main meal so we asked if they had soup, but they didn’t. The manager then went and spoke to Jopan the chef who then went to the trouble of making cream of veg. Soup with extra cream in it especially for her, and she said it was delicious. I just want to say a great big thank you to the staff and especially Jopan. I’m sure there aren’t many cafes that would go out of their way to accommodate a customer. Well done Cafe Royale. X

Rustic and old style cafe. Although the prices were a little non competitive. By that I mean alot for what it was. But nice scran...probably won't make a habit of going due to the price.

It's my favourite cafe in pontypridd. The food is typical cafe food. Options for vegetarians very limited, even more so for vegans. The staff are amazing. Probably the best coffee in ponty, imo. The knickerbockerglories are sublime, affogato makes a nice change if you don't fancy more traditional desserts.

Had to wait some time before it was ready but we’ll worth the wait. While we waited we were given free teas and coffees. I don’t know anywhere else that do this got a customer. I can’t praise them enough.

Whether it's a quick snack like a toasted tea bun and a cuppa, a nice slice of cake or a full meal everything is tasty and well presented. The staff are all polite and helpful. Service can be a little slow on very busy days but all in all it's well worth the wait. My wife and I have tried a variety of food the few times we have called in and have been very pleased with everything. The menu is good with lovely choices. The toilet facilities are clean and tidy however for new comers "The Gents" is difficult to find being hidden behind a partition so you need to ask directions. The ladies is well signed and much easier to find. This Cafe is recommended.

Been here a few times in the past for a full English breakfast. Prices are steep compared to other local cafes. Food is alright, not the greatest tasting but it'll do as it's close to the court. Toilets are accessible and the staff are understandable meaning they will swap beans for a sausage or a tomato for a couple pieces of bacon. They let the homeless people use the toilets and give them hot drinks. I saw one in there speaking to the staff by the kitchen door. I could tell they were homeless as when they passed me the smell that breezed my way was stomach wrenching. It put me off my breakfast and I ended up leaving one of the pieces of bacon I had swapped for a tomato!
