Cafe Royale Yucaipa Reviews
I got bacon and eggs with potatoes. The bacon and eggs were great, the potatoes in, my opinion, weren’t cooked enough. But other than that it was good and I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
We loved our visit. Clean but doesn't smell like overly perfumed cleaners. Really fantastic chicken and waffles. Chicken is battered and fried fresh on site. No frozen pre-battered tenders. Quartered half of a chicken fried and served on top of a Pecan waffle! And the coffee was delicious! I have to drink decaf and some places have very poor quality decaf. Not Kafe Royale! High quality flavorful coffee. And the service is great. Everyone is so friendly and helpful! Wonderful experience overall.
Located in a shopping plaza this unique establishment has a large patio dining experience that is nicely covered by shade sails! The interior is more antiquated for a younger generation but it's irrelevant when the food comes out. The selection is a truckers final boss, wide. I got the chorizo & eggs, nice spicy kick & overall delicious. Perfect for the family or reading a book by yourself all without breaking the bank with competitive reasonable prices!
Margie was the best!! The place is so clean and comfy, cozy, welcoming. The food was good and simple home cooked. Love this service, the best!! ❤️❤️❤️
Very good, we split the strawberry and lemon waffles combo (2 scrambled eggs and 4 bacon). If you want something a little different I highly recommend it. The waitress even had it split to two plates without being asked.
Great customer service, delicious food at a reasonable price. Go there twice a month
Great people and great food! Stephanie and Nila are very inviting and friendly. Thank you!
Great atmosphere and decor. It's like an old German village. The food was delicious and the service was extraordinary. The restaurant was large and very clean. It was my first visit but I'm looking forward to going again.
My 1st time here , it was amazing food. I had the Tamazula steak and eggs combo. The flavors and temperatures were spot on. The real gem was our server Jaime, definitely above and beyond in customer service. She was busy and you wouldn't be able to tell the literal definition of sevice with a smile. 💛✨️
This is our favorite dining establishment for breakfast and lunch! Juan goes out of his way to make sure your dining experience is top notch! All the servers are wonderful 😊, our server Teresa always takes excellent care of what we order and sees to it that we get it the way we like! Best place to eat in the Inland Empire!❤️💯💯🙌👌🌞🌞😍
I loved this place. First time dining here but it won't be the last. We went to celebrate a friend's birthday and even though we had a large party the service was outstanding! Our server was excellent and she was also patient and funny. I highly recommend you try it!
It is the casual foods version of "Cheers". The servers are friendly, conversational ,attentive and willing assist in getting your order right. The kitchen staff strives to keep the food consistency high quality. Management does a good job of keeping the atmosphere pleasant and wholesome.
Loved this place so much on a Tuesday, our group went back Friday for breakfast. The staff and food were amazing. The other customers were so nice and friendly!! A lady suggested the potatoes with peppers fried 10 minutes until crispy! YES!!! They are wonderful. Our diamond group will be back.
First time to Kafe Royal and enjoyed lunch. I had the California Wrap with Sweet Potato fries, and my wife had the Pulled Pork Sandwich with coleslaw. Both were very tasty at a reasonable price. Theresa was our server who was very friendly and attentive.
1st time visit , we were greated by professional waitress Stephanie, were seated right away. This place is clean and organized. Food was yummy . Price was right A lot creamer for the coffee. Hand sanitizer on each table .. Just love it . Will definitely be back again
It's my first time coming to Kafe Royal and the server was fantastic and very happy. We didn't have to wait for a table and they have a large menu. Our food was delicious. I'm going to become a repeat customer.
Great food, great service and very affordable! The owner came out and was very interactive w guests he was great! This is a must try!

A true “home town” cafe. Fantastic service and great food. I love how polite all the customers are - holding the door for each other as they entered & exited the restaurant. A delightful hidden treasure.
Good food, great service, friendly waitresses
Food was good and people were very nice.
Five star food, everything freshly cooked and high quality. Kafe Royale was a pit stop on route to Palm Springs, and everyone in the family enjoyed it! Breakfast burritos were 3 eggs perfectly soft scrambled, bacon, sausage, potatoes and cheese with home made salsa. 10/10 Chicken Fried Chicken, the stand out star! Home made chicken cutlet with white gravy. I ordered with two sides: mashed potatoes, cole slaw. Coffee fresh and hot. Service friendly, kind, professional. The whole place was super clean and well run. Highly recommend! Would recommend to friends! Would definitely come back! Service
The 3 of us and our guide dogs were very happy eating here. The omelettes and Reuben sandwich were amazing! We’ll definitely come back next time we’re out this way. Thank you to all the wonderful staff!
From the moment you walk through the door to leaving, the staff is so inviting and nice. The food was great and I can't wait to go back and try something else.
Service Fast and friendly On top it never had to ask for anything Food Absolutely DELICIOUS Open turkey sandwich mashed potatoes and gravy So good I’m ready to back Atmosphere Very nice inside and out Owner Juan very friendly and nice guy Cares about the food, service and the people Hard to find people like him Highly recommend this place !!!
A great place to eat and visit with friends. Customer service is amazing and the food is very good.
I had the chicken and waffles (plain) but the baseline order are pecan waffles. It was delicious and the fried chicken was crispy, tender, and juicy. Definitely going back. They close at 2 p.m. so dont wait too long to grab your breakfast/brunch/lunch.
My family went for the first time for mother's day since we are new to the area we thought we would try some place new. We had a server name Alex and she was AMAZING!!!!! Very attentive to us and anticipated what we may need or want. The food was pretty good too. I got the French dip which was great ( bread could have been toasted probably 1 minute longer tops but that is nit picking). Prices are reasonable too. I highly recommend this place and my family will definitely be back. A big huge THANK YOU TO OUR SERVER ALEX! You truly are amazing!
Excellent excellent service! A great cornerstone of the community! Jamie showed a level of service I rarely ever see; it was an experience to eat here and great food and good portions!

Been here a few times. Once the skillet plate did not come out on a skillet. The waitress ignored the situation and seemed to run away when mentioned. Still had a good time though.
Been going here for years. The food is usually pretty good. We ask for Christina as our server every visit. She is the best waitress there. Fast, kind and always makes sure our visit is great.
The food is good here. Our waitress must have been new. I ordered my breakfast well done, and it was not. The waitress did not read back the ordered and it was hard to get her attention.
Friendly service and good food, lots of dining options! Give 'em a try, you won't be disappointed
Really great food here and a nice little place! It's old yes, but well maintained. Nice servers, awesome outdoor seating area. Dog friendly!
Food was decent, but don't order the Eggs Benedict. They were clumpy. Everything else looked good. Service was awesome! I'll go back, but I'll order something different.
This place was pretty busy for a Sunday morning around 11:30am. There wasn’t much of a wait for our table of 4. Our waitress was very kind and friendly and made it a very positive experience for us. The food was good and didn’t take that long to arrive. I ordered the Vegetarian Omelette Skillet w/ Biscuits & Gravy. It was a decent portion. Omelette was good just lacking a little flavor. We loved the ambiance. It’s clean, family friendly, and the chairs were super comfortable. Vegetarian Omelette: 4/5 Biscuits & Gravy: 4.5/5 (wish they made gravy w/o meat)
Excellent prices, Superb service, and Awesome food...no kidding! My first visit passing through BUT I'll be back!

Had breakfast/brunch with 2 friends. The service, atmosphere, and cleanliness were outstanding, prices were very fair, the food was just average. I had the biscuits and gravy combo. Eggs were ok, bacon crisp, biscuits a bit soggy, the gravy bland with a bit too much flour taste. Overall, an ok experience, I would go back, but order something different.
Food is always delicious and service is great

It was our first time eating here and sadly enough we were disappointed with the service which made the food disappointing our server seemed to be lost. We will not eat here again unfortunately. My brother in law recommended this place so we went with normal expectations and the place under delivered. Food might have been better if our server wasn't scatter brained.
Service is usually always good and the food is okay but the prices are ridiculous now.
Locals only place. Good food reasonable, fast service but ugly chairs & interior no windows. Probably won't be back
Great food. Not enough seating for customers. Little too crowded for my preference.
Just had a delicious breakfast here, but was charged an "open food" fee of .50 per egg. I don't mind paying, but would prefer that I know about the fee up front. It was not on the menu anywhere.
I ordered an egg and ham croissant with diced potatoes everything tastes decently except the croissant that had oily smell to it. Service was great.

Can't rate anything this visit. Our favorite place but today we were more than disappointed. Closes at 2pm. We wanted to get there earlier like we always do but life made that impossible. We got there at 1:25. Three ladies working said we are closed and the kitchen is closed . I thought they were joking. They said since it was "slow" they closed early. I wonder what time they started telling people that today since it was a Saturday. Maybe the closing time should be moved to 1pm if this is the usual customer flow. The ladies were laughing and one made a violin playing movement like tuff poop. We went to another nearby restaurant; The Haus Bistro. It was great and my wife is pretty mad and said we won't be going back to Kafe Royale for awhile. Restaurant business is tough and losing customers is obviously bad. I read the review after this one and I hope this is not a trend.
We just had a strange experience here. We have been eating here almost every weekend for years. This morning our waitress got a couple of orders wrong. No big deal, they're busy and everybody makes mistakes. When it was calmly brought to her attention, she was rude and aggressive, telling me I was wrong and that's what I ordered. It absolutely was not what I ordered. She corrected it with an attitude. We quickly moved past it. Everyone has bad days, not a big deal. After paying (and tipping generously) I stepped outside. Friends came out and informed me that the owner came out and chastised my wife for being rude,which was far from the truth. The waitress turned everything around and complained about us! I was shocked and offended as were the rest of our party of 8. We have never had an experience like this, here or anywhere else. I actually respect him backing his employees. In this case it was based on a complete fabrication of what happened. The rest of the staff has always been great. Unfortunately when asked the owner about it he was also rude. We will never be back! We are completely perplexed by this mornings events. Even other staff were not supportive of their behavior. I sincerely hope, for their sake, this is an isolated incident. Although by her behavior I suspect it won't be.
i ate at this place a few days ago and my bill came out to $26. this business charged my card $526. when i called they said the reason for the charge is because i did not tip so they did it themselves. i don’t think it was professional to charge that much on someone’s card without there knowledge and it’s not stated anywhere that i have to leave a tip. when i asked for HR number they said they didn’t have one because it’s a family business and when i said i will take legal action they started saying “no no no i will fix it” do not eat here unless you want to be robbed 🙂
My mom took me out to breakfast here a few days ago and when we got our food my food was cold not even warm at that i even had a piece of black hair on my sausage (also sausage wasn't even cooked all the way threw) my mom got biscuits and gravy her biscuits were hard and the gravy was disgusting and cold! I was so excited to try this place out but we left disappointed our waitress was good she was very nice ..
