Customer Reviews

Taste 10/10 Value 10/10 Service 10/10 Highlights: - Hawaiian pizza was very good and I'm sure their other pizzas would be equally good too because their pizza crust taste perfect & the amount of cheese & sauce used are the right amounts. - Chicken black sauce pasta is the bomb. 1 of the tastiest pastas I've had and the you'd want more the more you eat it. Highly recommended

Another visit to Royal Macaron because I am obsessed by the flavor and texture of these delicious pastries. Look at this Latte! This place is a GEM. I met the owner/chef (who also works for the Four Seasons, caters, AND has two other stores; Westwood and WeHo) and WOW! Be sure to try this place. They also have ICE CREAM SANDWICH MACAROONS!! The macaroons and coffee are excellent. I am so happy this place is in the neighborhood. I have given many friends gift boxes of these and EVERYONE loves them.
