Cafe Royale in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Quiet and peaceful and the staff are lovely. Dog friendly, which is amazing!

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.

Delicious. Really wonderful food with a great variety, the most beautiful milkshakes I've ever had. Really polite staff.

What a fab find! Had a really great lunch and owner was so friendly, gave treats to our dogs, can not recommend this place enough! Come and support this lovely place!

Lovely clean cafe, nice atmosphere, friendly and polite staff. Excellent value for money, my only gripe is the sausages could be better quality, they're a bit mushy.

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.

Nice food, good service, good price, family friendly, happy and helpful staff

I haven't been in the Cafe Royal fir years and it has still retained its historical decor that has always resembled elegance and class. The food was outstanding and staff were polite and helpful at all times. I'm so glad we popped in, it's well worth a visit 😀

Back to the old school, had the corned beef pie, chips and gravy, teleported me back to my childhood I was happy sitting there loving every bite of my food and forgetting about my problems for a bit. Lovey food and atmosphere. I'm a regular now.

Never a bad day in here,service is bang on and food with such a variety, but can't get past breakfast. The eggs are always spot on , and really good value. We'll done to everyone who works here.

Very friendly staff and nice food and good service. Myself self and family always support our local.

Great portions, friendly staff, busy xx

My Dad and Myself go there quite often.

Lovely food and service. Definitely advice people to go to cafe royale for good food and friendly service.

Lovely food and all very friendly. Good prices and lovely portion sizes too. It's a must

Just had a lovely lunch. I got the turkey roast with an orange juice. VERY friendly service, nice food, priced, good sized portion. Exactly what I wa looking for, I'll definitely be back again.

Always welcoming, helpful , very clean , allow my dog which is a bonus staff are great and are really good with my Gizmo

Cafès as they used to be. Genuinely friendly and great coffee

Stunning breakfast, went for the Brie and cranberry panini……….excellent service, the traditional English breakfast looked very good

Great little location that also accommodates for dogs.

Excellent breakfast reasonably priced. Staff are friendly, attentive and efficient. Car parking less than 5 minutes walk away I would recommend the big breakfast

Excellent breakfast, only waited 5mins for food, staff really nice and welcoming

Great dinners, the Royal jacket potato is great as well much try. ☕🍰👍

This cafe was really nice the staff were very friendly only had a coffee but it was perfect and hot which is just what you need. The food on display looked lovely so I will be back to try

My local cafe lovely good all homemade and breakfast served all day.

Popped in for lunch, while working in the area. Had the pie dinner. It was delicious, great value for money and a friendly and quick service.

Love corned beef pie, peas chips and gravy, although the breakfast could have done with some black pudding and hash browns instead ot roast potato.

Great place to meet relations. Nice warm, homely place, good food, clean toilets. Tried the steak pie, roast and veg with gravy - was delicious! Would go back.

Dog friendly cafe with friendly staff. We happily sat inside and the staff were helpful and easy to talk to. Food was tasty and well priced. So nice to have a cafe that is dog friendly, not enough in the area. Will be returning.

Food was lovely I there perfection on a plate

Me and my mum has a small breakfast which there was only 3 small mushrooms and for some reason we had chips and a roast potatoe with it which thats not meant to be on the breakfast so the menu said plus we asked for no tomatoes just beans well I had beans but they make a mistake with my mum's they put tomatoes instead of beans.I wouldn't go here again not even for a second chance

Outstanding customer service, delicious food, we can't wait to go there again! They went above and beyond!

What a find, can’t believe it’s been there all these years and not used it before. Been there three times this week tried breakfast dinner and a baguette. All absolutely lovely. Staff warm and welcoming felt quite at home. We will definitely be back.

Great little café situated 2 minutes from the magnificent railway station at Pontypridd. Varied menu, lovely staff, food served piping hot, delicious! An easy five stars from us, keep up the good work :) xx

Really enjoyable breakfast today. It was hot (highly unusual these days in most places!) and delicious. The ladies serving were very friendly as always and the owner was delightful. All good. Thankyou all.

Lovely food, very attentive staff, great prices

Visited the cafe today, had a lovely meal. There was nothing on the dessert list that I could eat due to allergies. The manager asked the chef to make me a special trifle. 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.

Lovely local cafe in Pontypridd with friendly staff. Food is great and the place is kept clean and tidy. Recommended 👍

Had a great breakfast here recently - service was excellent as well. Will be coming back.

Excellent service.real butter lol..always nice and fresh and happy staff

Always lovely food. Staff are lovely

Set up before hand a special day with the staff and they made it perfect. Food was perfect and service worthy of a 5 star. Will be visiting again.

Had a lovely time with my granddaughter. Very friendly lovely food 😋

We only popped in for ice creams to take out as we had our dog with us, however the staff made us very welcome and said that next time we were in Pontypridd and fancied a meal, we could bring our little dog in, which was very nice to know. By the way, the ice creams were delicious and reasonably priced.

Traditional cafe with good, friendly service. Good value for money

It's baby's friendly, they've got high chairs and are really friendly and welcoming! The food is good!

Lovely cafe has a large sitting area serves lovely food at very reasonable prices ,just good old fashion meals cooked dinners and lovely dessert. Knickerbocker glory gives me fond memories .😊

When I fancy proper home cooked food I venture here . Staff are always welcoming . Nice and clean good price .

What a lovely place, I stopped in for a cuppa and ended up having a toasted teacake. The décor is very nice without being pretentious, and very comfortable. The staff were lovely and friendly and we had a nice chat about their roast dinners, now I've only given the cafe 4 stars because I didn't get to try their food, so that fifth star is reserved for next time 😃

I had amazing caramel latte and The staff are friendly , best cafe in pontypridd

This is a very friendly cafe. The food is wholesome and delicious. They serve a roast dinner to a cooked breakfast. The ideal place to have a coffee on a Saturday and a spot for f lunch.

I always pop in for one of their delicious cakes. Either a custard Danish or the the toffifee tart, sometimes both!

Lovely food, excellent service, very friendly staff. Cannot fault this lovely cafe'.

Lovely friendly staff great service , fresh meals really nice cafe

Friendly service and very good food

Beautiful food and friendly staff, will definitely be going here again.

Came today, and had a lovely experience. Staff were all so friendly and welcoming. Lovely food, the Brie and Cranberry panini was 😋😋😋😍. Will definitely be returning❤️

Spotlessly clean. Staff are excellent and the steak pie is to die for. We will definitely be returning

Friendly staff, amazing food all homemade!! Love this place for good traditional food at great prices.

Great place to come for food. The staff are always friendly, have a chat with us and the cleanliness of the cafe is always at its best :)

Nice tasty food with plenty of veg, quick and friendly service Basic venue but clean and comfortable

Great food and wonderful service. Marco and Claire are brilliant. Well worth a visit.

We had planned on spending the entire day in Pontypridd to make the most of shopping local and the beautiful park. Before starting our shopping we decided to have a full cooked breakfast. The breakfasts were huge and outstandingly tasty. The restaurant had been freshly cleaned and you couldn't have met a nicer team of staff. Will be returning when we can.

My cousin and myself recently had a lovely meal at this Cafe. I have been coming here for years and always enjoy good food with friendly service from Marco and his team. I am sorry we wont be able to visit for a while as we have to think about our health problems but we will be back soon we hope . Thank you Marco and team . Pat and Babs.

Personnel vraiment génial et accueil chaleureux mais pour info : j'ai commandé un plat particulier, lapin à la galloise. La serveuse m'a servi une tartine chaude au fromage. Je n'ai rien dit car je suis nulle en anglais mais je suis surprise, c'était délicieux. La prochaine fois je commanderai le lapin de nouveau.

Good good and nice friendly staff

We visited here for a breakfast which was amazing. The portion size was good and the price was reasonable. The cafe offers a great menu consisting of snacks and main meals. The staff were really helpful and the cafe really clean.

Have been before.Tried the lasagne for the first time and I really enjoyed it,the food is served instantly my mother had the famous pie and really enjoyed it,we saw a family with a lovely little dog so its nice all are welcome,you can tell this cafe has a lot of regulars and is very popular.

Really pleased we could have a meal so late in the afternoon.

We have been dining at cafe royale for quite some time, and always greeted with a smile & a hello, if os or millie are in they always find the time to chat for a minute or so. The food is always fresh, cooked well the girls who take our order and bring our food n drink are so kind, polite as well as professional thaks guys for looking after us. Always recommended A1 always Ozzy n Julie xx

Food good service excellent no complaints

Dinner was very good be going again good service with a smile good price

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.

A very welcoming Cafe with a good variety of food and drinks. Staff are very helpfull

Lovely place. I had jkt potato and boys had big breakfast. All was lovely

Very tasty food. Good service friendly staff

Came across this place, after parkrun, on an off chance! We were bored of big chain coffee places, and needed somewhere dog friendly. This was the perfect spot. Food was delicious and coffees were generous. Will definitely be returning!

Great food...very kind manager ❤

Really busy lunchtime which is always a good sign. Plenty of choice, all freshly cooked, reasonably priced & friendly staff. We had the sandwiches but the hot food looked good. Will definitely return.

What a find. Lunch to suit everyone. Delicious Home made food, fresh veg, lovely selection of salad. The staff were really friendly and I was able to ‘mix and match’ what I wanted. The prices were very good.

Always have lunch here when in ponty, veggie options are great, staff are so friendly and always willing to accommodate my picky eater 😅

Brilliant cafe with amazing all day breakfasts

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!

Long standing traditional café with generous fry-up breakfasts served all day (vegetarian option available), very friendly staff, decent environment too, good prices but cold drinks are quite expensive. Good disabled access too. Will definitely be returning!

Lovely place withwarm and welcoming staff

Always excellent service and food

Always a warm welcome and delicious Fayre in Cafe Royale Pontypridd.Highly recommend.

Lovely friendly old fashioned Italian cafe. Generous portions of fresh food and reasonably priced. Also ideal for an ice cream after school.

Friendly reasonable prices but not really wheal chair friendly.

Very clean. Good service. Lovely staff. Lovely cup of old fashioned coffee☕☕

Nothing too much trouble, great food

We are regular visitors to this cafe. The cooked breakfast is gorgeous. We called in today after walking the dog in Pontypridd Park and sat on the outside tables enjoying our breakfasts and watching the world go by. The friendly staff kindly made up a small bowl of chicken and sausage breakfast for our dog to enjoy too. We were already fans of this place, but they've just gone up another level in our books. Highly recommended.

Best cafe in pontypridd I know it and the owner very well

Always spotless friendly staff and lovely food

Good selection off baked goods done on premises

Hard working lovely staff. Great food and coffee. Can always get a decent seat and tables cleaned efficiently.

Tuna sani few years back, cracking
