Wow — what a find. Small place with not exactly a cozy atmosphere but the food was outstanding. The service was great, you can tell that the proprietress really likes people. The coffee was freshly roasted and ground, and tasted great. It always surprises me when I actually get really good coffee at a breakfast place, must places do one or the other well (e.g. Starbucks — good coffee, abominable breakfast) this place nailed it.

They have a Nutella and strawberry dessert crêpe that is delicious. I’m there at least once a week. Great place! Definitely try their dessert crepes :)

I know crepes. These crepes were quite terrible. They were rubbery. Not the consistency a crêpe should be.

Had a tasty Chai here. Large, open space. Not too loud when I visited on a weekday morning

Enjoyed the culture of this place! The music, the accents, the coffee… really a great experience. You can order your crêpe and have it delivered next door to the Beer Temple as well– perfect! Elaina, the owner, is such a sweetheart and goes out of her way to ensure her customers are happy. Cannot wait to visit again!

Love this little gem in the heart of downtown Matthews! The Hamazing crêpe was expertly cooked and a savory delight! Our kids enjoyed building their own crepes with just the toppings they wanted. The owners and staff were friendly, engaging, and customer focused! We followed our meal with the Royal Trinity (who doesn’t love fruit, Nutella and whipped cream) and Carmel Apple Pie (apples, Carmel cinnamon and butter) crepes! So delicious. Serious coffee and tea drinkers will both find wonderful options here. The coffee is a locally roasted blend that is rich and smooth, with no bitterness! They also offer 30 different blends of gourmet fresh brewed tea. My wife raved about the iced peach oolong tea she ordered! This was our first time at Royal Café & Creperie, but it definitely won’t be our last!

What a treat! The Gyro and the Philly are both great. Everything came out hot and fresh. The crêpe was tender and crispy at the same time. The owner was at the register and was very nice and took the time to explain everything to us since this was our first time here. They also have some patio seating and that was really enjoyable. Now we are headed to check out the Beer Temple next door.

Very clean and friendly, so fast for quick pick up. Much better though if you eat there! Best dirty Chai around!

Well, what a disappointment. Darn it! I love crepes, and with all the great reviews I was very excited to try. My husband ordered the Hamazing… which was Hanotsomuch. He asked for light on lettuce. It still came with so much lettuce, he had to take some out. The bulk of the crêpe, apparently, is lettuce. Without it, he was left with a slice of «lunchmeat» ham, a slice of cheese, and a small amount of mushrooms. I ordered the Mediterranean. I’ve never tasted sour and bland at the same time. The pesto tasted like straight mustard. The chicken seemed to be boiled? However it was prepared, it was NOT prepared with any seasoning. Quite simply, it was pretty awful. I had 4 bites and couldn’t eat any more of it. At just under $ 10 a pop, a true waste of my money. Although we will not be returning for an entrée crêpe, I am holding out hope for the desert crepes.

Location, service and tea were great. So two stars for those. I really wasn’t impressed with the crêpes though, which is a shame cause I love those. I usually find a creperie anywhere I travel, and this one is nothing to write home about.
You do have lots of choices of fillings, but I’m not sure if that helps much.
Sitting space is limited.

Everything from the service to the atmosphere and the food was delicious. Such a great place. The tea was amazing, and I love how they present it to you. You can’t go wrong with any crêpe you select, and watching them make it makes it even more scrumptious. My new regular «go to» spot in Mathews, NC

I can’t recommend this place enough.
The staff are very helpful and great service, if you have not been there they are happy to help you chose a crêpe for your first time. I tried the Florentine with added Ham, it was so good.
The crepes are the best i have had from anywhere in the US. They are perfectly cooked and taste so good, i recommend coming here. The coffee was good too and have a wide selection of teas. I can’t think of a better thing to have with a good crêpe than a nice cup of coffee.
Definitely try this place, its in the center of Matthews and definitely worth going to.

Yummy banana and peanut butter crêpe. I would get two since one wasn’t filling enough but there are so many to try, that won’t be a problem next time. They have coffee and a wide variety of teas.

Love this little spot! The owners are very passionate and friendly and every crêpe is made custom right in front of you with whatever ingredients you choose. Big portions and lots of options. Only downside is very tight seating as it gets crowded. Hope to see them continue to flourish!

What a great little spot for daytime noshing. I am a super big fan of crepes, especially savory ones. I had the Lean Machine and it was delish! I would get it sans tzaziki sauce as a re-​order (not very «lean» and didn’t add much flavor IMO). In addition to their menu of sweet and savory crepes, you can build your own with a ton of creative filling options. In addition to the crepes, there are really great locally-​roasted coffees and about thirty teas. I had a jasmine tea iced and they brewed it fresh in this cute little pot and then poured it over ice in a small pitcher table. Delicious and refreshing on a hot summer day. Last but not least, all our communications with staff were friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to make it here for a second visit!

Whenever my already-​lacking sanity gives way to pregnancy-​level craving, only one place is the quintessential fix: Royal. Imaginatively, their huge crepes wrap your little body in perfectly light, perfectly warm holiness… whichever fresh toppings you fancy smothering every nook and cranny in righteous all-that’s-well-in-the-world.
The variety and execution of Royal’s crêpe offerings are excellent, and with management who knows not what grouchiness is, you’ll never leave unsatisfied nor without having a grand time. Prices are more than reasonable, atmosphere chipper. And as much as I’d like to thank Black Chicken or Carolina for pre-​gaming cheerfulness prior to setting foot in Royal, their respective wines and beers can’t hold a candle to the all-​knowing, all-​powerful crêpe king that is Royal C&C.

I am so sad. I love crepes and this place is a couple miles from my house. I really wanted to love it here so I could stop trekking uptown for hazelnuts. I got here at 4:15 pm without realizing that they are closed from 3−5pm on weekdays. I decided to wait 45 mins in the car even though I was starving because I was really craving a crêpe.
I got the chicken cordon bleu crêpe. The crêpe part was not crispy or hot. It was lukewarm and super doughy/​soggy. They put such little cheese in it I couldn’t even tell there was any in there (maybe they forgot the cheese?). The bacon was one of those precooked strips but it seemed like it wasn’t microwaved because it was cold. They didn’t even crumble it but just put one whole strip in there. 90% of what was in there was a bunch of iceberg lettuce that didn’t seem fresh. Almost no chicken and that too wasn’t warm. They were sub par and honestly I threw most of it away. Maybe they just had an off day because all of the other reviews are flawless. Unfortunately, my experience was unimpressive.
