Espresso Royale Cafe- GIES College of Business

I spent $8 on a sandwich and they didn’t bother to cut the tomato’s properly. ridiculous pricing for a subpar sandwich with incredibly thick tomatoes.

I got a matcha here and it was basically a pale green milk. It had barely any matcha and there was too little ice so it was just lukewarm milk.

This shop is really, really bad. First, the price. The average breakfast costs $7.50 before tax, while a breakfast at Starbucks in the bookstore costs less than $5. I bought sunrise on english muffins for the first time in this shop, but the maker made bagels for me. The second time I purchased a breakfast, the maker heated a cold ready-made breakfast directly to me without asking my opinion, rather than making me a new one on site. And this cold, ready-made breakfast is reheated for the same price as breakfast made on site. The third time I bought sunrise, the staff changed the cheese for my breakfast to a white cheese without asking me, which was really bad. I really wouldn't come back to this store if I wasn't hungry, and if you haven't tried it yet, I hope you'll consider it carefully.

A medium size tea (hotter than the temperature of a sun) and a pastry is $10. Student pricing? Any sign of common sense? No.

Cafe Kopi will always be a favorite. The employees are always kind, helpful, and good at what they do. The food is delicious (granted I usually stick to bagels etc or the tomato mozzarella sandwich, but I’m sure the rest is delicious too), and the drinks are perfection. It’s a great place to chat with a friend or sit with my laptop and get some work done.
