Cafe De Royal - Ridgewood

The sandwiches and pastries were really good... Definitely recommend the crepes... Owner verbally claims halal. Could not find a halal sign inside or out

Cafe de Royal is a wonderful addition to the Ridgewood dining scene and more than just a bakery. They serve beautiful and delicious pastries, homemade soups, and delightful souffles, crepes (both sweet and savory), and sandwiches with Turkish, Greek and French influences. Savories such as the Greek spinach triangles and sweets such as the old fashioned almond croissant are consistently delicious. If you are looking for lighter fare, the soups are also great, especially the lentil soup. Oh, and I did I mention they have several different varieties of baklava?! The owner and staff are super nice and friendly. The outside tables with cheery red umbrellas are a perfect spot to sit and relax. And the coffee is great, too!

Do yourself a favor and visit this place! I doubt you'll ever go back to any other bakery. Selection, service, space is just outstanding! And there's always something new to try, even though we come here almost every week. Did I mention souffles? Or olive/cheese pies? Get one with a pastry, and you'll have a breakfast will take you to the dinner. Or this could be your dinner. But on top of all that it's the space itself! It's airy and roomy! You can always find a table for for four or even more and still carry a private conversation. Not needing to look for an empty chair before you even look at the selection or having strangers sitting on top of you? Priceless!

Delicious crepes and bakery items! The service was excellent and scene is very aesthetically pleasing. Definitely recommend the savory crepes and macaroons.

Best banana pudding I ever tried. Have been late to events and engagements because of their banana pudding. My daughter had flourless gluten free chocolate cake. They also have other great desserts. The staff is wonderful and helpful. Also Organic coffee they serve is wonderful.
