"After 48 years as a strangely medieval pink icon in Albany, Royal Cafe has gone dark and sources say it likely won’t reopen." - Becky Duffett

Delightful decor for a hustle of a morning! This place is the breakfast spot in town. The line is worth it. Plan to wait 30 minutes. Come with a group of 8 or just by yourself! I tried their famous scone, served with a lemon sauce. Perfectly crumbly, and totally messy. I also got their homemade granola with soy milk and let it sit to soak up the soy and get soft. Delicious. Matt got a breakfast omelet with cheddar, bacon and avocado. Real maple syrup is on the tables along with salsas. Those details matter! Free coffee refills and the servers are on it, never had a cold cup. Credit cards accepted here. The decor feels like you stepped through a time machine. They even have a little display full of antique items when you walk in - juke box, old cameras and cooking ware.

Great menu. Waffles are on point. Salmon scramble had very good portions of salmon. Burgers and fries were old fashioned and delicious. REAL maple syrup! Thick sourdough toast! Very sunny, big windows! Outside seating available. Nostalgic decor with classic photos and advertisements. Fun place.

No wonder this place has such a high rating. Funky, eclectic decoration, great food (❤️ the buckwheat pancakes and the mocha). Awesome service, they pay attention to the small details and are all super friendly. Bummer it’s not close by ...

Fantastic chicken and waffles. Their italian sausage scramble was also good. Love their retro vintage decor.

My plus 1 and I ordered a couple of hollandaise dishes, and they were delicious! I order the Naughty Charlie, which was heavenly. The better half of my life ordered traditional eggs benedict. The decor is very retro and fun. My only request is the removal of the demon Kellogg corn flakes picture (attached) as it is super creepy.

Just ok omelettes, not too flavorful. Acme toast a bit stale. Service, however, was very good.

Great location, great staff, great food! We ordered the chicken and waffles and cinnamon French toast. Both highly recommended!
