Royal Roastery

The food is always fresh and delicious, the coffee is amazing, and the service is warm, welcoming, and professional. The staff treats everyone with kindness and respect, and the environment is always clean and inviting. I’ve never had a bad experience — only great memories and top-quality service. Don’t believe the false claims going around. This is a business that truly cares about its customers and community. I highly recommend Royal Roastery to anyone looking for authentic taste and great vibes. 💛☕👏 Thank you for always being consistent and reliable!

A Delightful First Experience at Royal Roastery – Westheimer, Houston We recently had the pleasure of visiting Royal Roastery for the first time, and what an unforgettable experience it was! Nestled on Westheimer, this charming spot instantly transported us to the heart of Turkish hospitality with its cozy ambiance and inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. We indulged in a selection of authentic Turkish Delights that were beautifully presented and full of rich, traditional flavor. The Turkish coffee was perfectly brewed — bold, aromatic, and served just the way it should be. But the real highlight of our visit was their special pistachio ice cream. Creamy, nutty, and refreshingly unique, it was unlike any other pistachio treat we’ve had before — a true gem! From the warm service to the quality of the treats, everything about Royal Roastery made our visit truly enjoyable. We’re already looking forward to our next stop!

Royal Roastery is a paradise for desserts, especially if you love rich, indulgent chocolate. The Dubai chocolate, Dubai chocolate crepe, and Dubai chocolate cheesecake were absolutely amazing-intensely flavorful and beautifully presented. The Dubai chocolate with strawberries was also good, but a bit hard to eat since the chocolate shell was so solid. The mango mousse dessert was just okay, not as memorable as the chocolate items. They have a massive variety of desserts, teas, and herbs. It’s an impressive spread but also a bit overwhelming. There are lots of bins filled with assorted chocolates, but most of them are unlabeled, making it hard to know what you’re getting. The same goes for the items in the glass cases. Most items had no signage or description, except for the ice cream flavors. Choosing what to order can feel like a guessing game unless you ask for help. The shop stays open late, making it a popular late-night stop. Just be prepared for large crowds and long lines. While the service is friendly and fast once you get to the counter, the line setup is inefficient and adds to the overall confusion. Just be ready for some chaos and a bit of mystery when it comes to figuring out what’s what!

I went to Royal Roastery today and had a wonderful experience. I started with a Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake Cup, which was delicious and had an irresistible taste. Then, I enjoyed a slice of cake that was so delicious. I also tried some fresh roasted nuts, which added a nice crunchy contrast to the sweets. The service was excellent; the staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, making the visit even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, perfect for a peaceful break. I really loved the desserts here and highly recommend anyone to visit. I’m definitely coming back for more!

Expensive but really nice and beautiful store. They offer all types of nuts, spices, coffee, and of course desserts. The dubai chocolate strawberries were good…but not worth the price. It’s nice to walk around and look at their selection. Their desserts are very sweet.

This place has some delicious ice cream, so many tasty flavors. They give you a taste before you buy and I must have tried 5 different flavors. The lemon and mango were great and the chocolate. The majority of the ones we tried were good. They also gave us a free taste of their pastries before purchase and they were delicious. I enjoyed my time here.

What an Experience! A Must-Visit Dessert Spot in Houston 🍰🍦🍩 If you’re a dessert lover or someone with an insatiable sweet tooth, this is the place to be in Houston. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat—literally. The aroma of freshly made sweets hit me instantly, and the vibrant display of desserts was almost overwhelming (in the best way possible). Ambiance & Atmosphere: The place was packed—and for good reason. It seems like this is the go-to dessert spot in town, and the crowd reflects its popularity. While the energy was exciting, the only downside was the lack of seating. It was hard to find a place to sit and enjoy the desserts leisurely. So, keep in mind: this might be more of a grab-and-go or eat-outside kind of experience unless you get lucky with a table. Service: Despite the crowd, I was impressed by how efficiently the staff handled orders. The service was fast, organized, and surprisingly smooth given how busy it was. You can tell they’re used to the rush and have a system in place. Prices: Very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. While not super cheap, it’s definitely fair for what you get, and honestly, the flavor and presentation make it worth every penny. Taste: Now let’s talk about the star of the show—the taste. Every bite was heavenly. The desserts were rich, flavorful, and freshly made. You can really tell they put care into crafting each item. Whether you’re into cakes, cookies, or creamy creations, you’re going to find something that blows your mind. Final Thoughts: I’ll absolutely be going back. Just be prepared for the crowd and try to visit during off-peak hours if you want a more relaxed experience. But even with the wait and seating issue, the overall experience and the phenomenal desserts made it 100% worth it. Highly recommend for anyone visiting or living in Houston. It’s a sweet escape you won’t forget.

Highly recommend this spot to anyone in Houston or just passing through — it’s a must-visit for coffee aficionados!

My first time at an Arabic sweets shop, I was greeted by a doorman and a red carpet down to the desserts order line. I went there an hour before closing and the store was crowded. The shop has lots of different chocolates, snacks, chips, spices, drinks. There's even fine China and decorations that they sell. I've been on a hunt to try the viral Dubai chocolate and place has them all. If you're looking for it, it's in the chocolate desserts case next to the register. You'll have to wait in the dessert line to order it. The shop also serves other Dubai chocolate desserts such as crepes, milkshake, strawberries. The Dubai chocolate strawberries are indulging, the katafi pistachio flavors are very rice.

I'm giving Royal Roastery 4 stars , not because of the exceptional cuisine, but because of the staff members. The two employees at the checkout register were unwilling to assist, and every question I asked was met with palpable irritation. *I can say the Dubai chocolate was exquisite; we also received a sample of the Dubai ice cream, which was remarkable. **Japanese ice cream is a must-try, buy 1 or buy ALL. I opted for mango, which was bursting with flavor and exceptionally smooth. My daughter selected strawberry, which was somewhat hard and lacked strawberry flavor!!! ***The Peach fruit pastry wasn't our favorite.

I got influenced and the hype is real! I feel like a lot of things in Houston get hyped and they also turn out to be underwhelming. However, this trip to Royal Roastery was well worth it and I'm happy I live 40 minutes away. The dark chocolate Dubai bar was everything and more. Everything you heard about the Dubai chocolate was meet with extreme satisfaction. The dark chocolate was perfectly tempered and did not break into too many pieces when bitten into or did not melt while holding it. The mixture in the middle was a perfect blend of pistachio cream, tahini, and the kataifi was toasted to perfection. There were other Dubai bars milk chocolate and a white? I got one small bar for $5 and there are larger bars as well. The location also has an aisle of gummies, chocolates, walls of snacks, a savory nut/snack bar, traditional sweets bar, galeto, coffee, and much more. I went around 2 PM on a Wednesday so it wasn't too busy and I was serviced quickly. The nut/savory bar does provide samples. It's a must and if you live close be careful with your waistline.

Wow. I didn't expect all of this. About 13min fm the city center. 1. Super friendly 2. Really clean 3. Helpful as a newbie with all the Turkish sweets, coffee etc. 4. Dry goods, full espresso and special drinks, nut area. Soo much to look at. Of course I grabbed a few bars of the famous Dubai Chocolate everyone sees on Tik Tok, IG. Dubai chocolate bars Served cold and thin chocolate with crunchy pistachio insides. The best I'ce had yet! Soo good. The bar has definitely been raised. They have tons of cakes, different versions of baklava , amazing sweets that look like works of art (turkish delight combinations they have samples, spices by weight, batch ice creams, turkish coffee (so good no cream needed with aromas of cardamom), viral mango/lemon ice creams, plenty of tables to eat,'snap IG's and enjoy the atmosphere. Folks are gathered, enjoying being in the moment. If you cone during the summer I'd suggest brining a cooler to bring the sweet treasures home to eat. Parking is plenty and free. There are a ton of other eateries and sweet shops like a cuban place a few doors down. I will def be back!

An Instagram Reel led us here, and it did not disappoint! I only wish we had more time in Houston to come back and try all of the Dubai chocolate-inspired desserts. The three of us shared a warm, cheesy knafeh that was lightly sweet, crispy, and incredibly unique. The portion was generous, and we couldn't even finish it. We also tried cookies and cream gelato and the Dubai chocolate gelato. Both were fantastic, but the Dubai chocolate was definitely the standout. It was a bit on the sweeter side, so a self-serve water station would've been appreciated. My friend picked up a Dubai chocolate strawberry cup to-go, and it was a big hit with her family. The shop also offers a wide variety of Turkish delights, candies, gummies, spices, you name it! It really felt like stepping into another part of the world. We visited on a Monday afternoon and it was surprisingly busy. With the crowd they draw, a few extra tables would be helpful. I noticed on the screen they're opening a Dallas location soon, hopefully SoCal is next!

Chaotic mix of a dessert shop with the viral Dubai chocolate bars (Kanafa), a Turkish coffee cafe and a market with roasted nuts, coffee and spices. Popularized by TikTok and Instagram, this place is a victim of it's own success. The lines can be very long and are ineffecient. The layout of the store is awkward. It's difficult to browse and see all the dessert options as the showcases are blocked by the line or after the place where you order. The overhead menu is only visible just before you're about to order so people can't effectively decide what to order until they are in front of the cashier, which slows down the process. The showcases don't have a lot of labels or descriptions so for those who are less initiated or familiar it's a continued mystery. The desserts themselves are visually appealing, extremely sweet and over priced. The seating area is a decently sized, but half of the seats are taken up by parties hogging the seats while the rest of the party are standing inline. The workers are friendly and patient and overwhelmed with the crowds. There are aisles of candies and treats that aren't labeled that mostly serve as line separators. The experience is visually appealing, but with all the wait, line and price of a Disney park ride. Overall, we came to experience the hype, take our pictures, but probably won't be back often or until the lines calm down. Parking is also chaotically busy. Cars enter from multiple entrances and flow both directions. The flow of cars get stuck with cars trying to pull out but are blocked by cars that are waiting to park.

It was packed here on an early Sunday afternoon. The parking lot was packed too. And it's tight making it harder to drive. We came to try the new viral fruit ice creams. We got their home made versions rathe than the manufactured ones from China, primarily because we didn't see the latter anywhere. Mango and peach for $10 each. I gotta say it was pretty darn tasty. Not gonna lie. But I still like the Dubai chocolate more. Nevertheless, sadly I think I could see myself now adding this to our shopping list when we return. Sigh.

I was excited to come here because of all the TikTok videos I had seen - maybe it was an off day, but I don't think it lived up to the hype. The place is really unique and carries so many desserts and snacks, but I don't think I'm a fan of the actual food. There are so many display cases, but not many signs describing anything you're looking at. The main menu they have above the counter only shows some items, and not the ones we actually ordered. We ended up getting the Knafeh, Arabic ice cream, the Dubai chocolate bar, and my fiance got a coffee. Everything was too sweet for my taste (granted we did order a lot for just 2 of us). The Knafeh was definitely the best item, the cheese and the crunch were divine, but they did a bit too much syrup - would recommend this if you come. The ice cream was loaded with pistachios and had a nice texture, but again so sweet. I had high hopes for the Dubai chocolate, but the quality was not there - the milk chocolate was already melting even though we ate it there. The filling was good, but the chocolate didn't have the right texture. There are plenty of seats, though the tables are a bit sticky. Additionally there didn't seem to be a bathroom or water cups, which would have helped with the stickiness and sweetness. I think it's a really cool place to browse and find gifts, but I was a bit disappointed in the food especially for the high price. Knafeh is worth a try though!

Royal Roastery is a nice Turkish cafe that has curated an interesting cultural experience. They have a wide variety of Turkish delight treats. The staff is more than happy to cut out a small portion for you to sample prior to choosing which treats to purchase. They are sold by weight. Farha (staff) was extremely helpful and friendly and explaining the process and helping us sample quite a few of their Turkish delight options. The best selection depends on your personal preference. But we recommend the Nestle and pomegranate. We also tried a cream cheese baklava. Surprisingly, the cream cheese is a lot more rigid than typical American cream cheese. It's more along the consistency between gouda and Brie cheese. Personally, I think a creamier cream cheese is more suitable to balance the more brittle texture of the baklava. They also have an amazing collection of Turkish inspired tea sets that you can view and purchase. They are wonderfully curated and there's many to view. There's a side area where you can sit down and enjoy whatever drink, or ice cream, or company with friends. Fair warning, their ice cream is an incredibly small portion. They are very lenient hours opening all the way until around midnight.

I have a feeling the Dubai Chocolate craze will never go away. It's just THAT good. Driving to Royal Roastery is worth the drive. It's worth the higher price point since they use quality ingredients and it shows. It's not something I would buy everyday, but it for sure is a "treat yo self" kinda day. This place gets PACKED on the weekends. However it goes by quick. Limited seating inside, but lots to choose from when it comes to splurging. We've come on a day where it's completely busy and loud and on a day where it's so empty, we could take our time wondering around. They sell novelty items from snacks to chocolates, to even spices. But we all know what we come here for...the infamous Dubai Chocolate. The knafeh is just so crispy in texture all throughout the bar, it makes you wish you could have never ending supply. Even the pistachio creme on top is finger licking good. It's so rich in flavor that you need a 24 oz cup of milk. And that's not a bad thing. I don't even eat the whole thing in one go. I make sure to save it and put it in the fridge for the next day and the knafeh is still crispy. My fiancé and I both tried the kit kat waffle and dubai chocolate waffle and OHMYGOD. Both are so good and so rich in flavor, it's so worth the $15.99. Yes. I know. But hear me out! When are you ever going to splurge on such quality dessert?! The dubai chocolate waffle was definitely a top favorite. It's the chocolate bar spread out all over the waffle all in one. You get every crispy texture in every bite. Bring on the milk. We also decided to check out some of the gummy candy and realized they are halal. That's pretty awesome to see that they are accommodating to cultures who can't have gelatin. We tried a few of the sour gummy candy and it tasted just as good. Service is great, and you can tell they pride themselves in their work and their food. I'd totally come back for gift giving, treat yo self days, and dinner club dessert nights. Plenty of parking along the strip even when it's busy, if you're willing to walk.

Stepping into The Royal Roaster felt like I had been transported into a luxurious marketplace somewhere in the UAE. The air was rich with the scent of freshly ground spices, roasted nuts, fragrant teas, and sweet pastries stacked high behind glass. I was overwhelmed in the best way. Every corner of the store offered something new to take in, especially with so many foreign snacks on display. The (long) line outside looked intimidating at first, but it moved quickly. Once inside, we were greeted with generous sample trays featuring chocolates, Turkish delights, pistachio-filled pastries, and more. I loved being able to try so many unique flavor combinations before buying. Pistachio is clearly the star of the show here, and I wasn't mad about it. I ordered the mango and lotus blossom ice cream, and it was one of the creamiest, most flavorful scoops I've had in a while. Usually, mango flavors lean more sherbet-y, but this one was smooth, silky, and perfectly balanced with the nutty floral hint of lotus. I could've gone back for seconds. My friend was hoping to try the viral fruit-layered pastries we saw trending on TikTok, but they were completely sold out by the time we arrived around 9 p.m. The cashier kindly let us know those items move fast and recommended placing an order a day or two in advance to guarantee a box. The atmosphere inside was bustling and felt like somewhere between a specialty grocer and a pastry café. Whether you're craving sweets, stocking up on imported goods, or just passing through with curiosity, The Royal Roaster makes it worth your time (and the short wait).

What a neat spot for middle eastern goodies, coffee, and dessert! After seeing this place from an IG reel, I was intrigued by their offering of Syrian ice cream, which is served in a generous amount and fully coated all around in crushed pistachios. They also offer Dubai Chocolate! At first I was a little skeptical since I feel like viral foods are just a gimmick, but I really enjoyed their Dubai Chocolate. The filling was so good and unlike anything I've had before in a piece of chocolate. It is on the sweet/rich side. There were so many other goodies that I'd want to come back and try. This place is large for a cafe/dessert spot and has a handful of small tables for enjoying your treats; however, it was packed when I went so I just had to stand and enjoy my treats.

Finally got around to trying the infamous Dubai Chocolate and man oh man this place had a long line wrapping all around the store. We got the Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup, Dubai Chocolate Bar, and Pistachio Latte. Overall, it was a very cool experience and I'm glad I came out to try it, but everything was so rich and sweet. I could only tolerate a few bites of the cup and bar because it was just too rich and sweet. A later took it home, placed it in the fridge, and ate it the next day cooled with a big glass of milk which I found to be much more enjoyable. I did love the crunchiness of the knafeh. The bar had a great filling to shell ratio. The aesthetics are immaculate, but I'd say the value was quite overpriced, the cup itself cost $18. Disclaimer: I don't have the biggest sweet tooth so I probably wouldn't go back. I like my desserts in the "not too sweet range" as in I order my boba at 0-30% sweetness depending on my mood. If you have a sweet tooth definitely give this place a shot though, it's definitely one of the top places to try the Dubai Chocolate.

I finally caved to the Dubai chocolate obsession and decided to check out Royal Roastery. There was such a wide assortment of candies, ice cream, and pastries here, and they even offered some free samples. We got there on a Wednesday night around 9pm. This place was poppin despite it being a weekday. There was a line inside but it moved fast. There's also limited seating, but we were lucky enough to snag a table. We ordered: - Dubai chocolate crepe - Dubai chocolate waffle - Dubai chocolate bar - Knafeh So I definitely get the hype surrounding the dubai chocolate now. I love the crunchy texture you get from the knafeh. The crepe, waffle, and chocolate bar were all very good, but definitely very rich and sweet. Definitely not something I can eat in one sitting. The cheesy knafeh was an interesting dessert as well. It was pretty good, but not something I would order again. I wanted to try the Dubai chocolate strawberries as well, but couldn't justify such a high price point. But I just took the remainder of the desserts togo, and enjoyed them with some strawberries at home.

Overall: A fantastic place to try some high quality middle-eastern drinks and sweets with friendly and quick service Parking: free lot in front but requires patience in tight spaces at peak hours. High turnover means you won't be waiting long to find a spot. Vibes and Aesthetic: It wouldn't have hurt for this location to be a little larger. There's high turnover of people in and out so lines are quick and you'll likely find a table becomes free in under 10 minutes of your arrival. If prioritizing, save the table for your party over waiting in line. 5 stars because the diversity in customers is incredible. I truly see the beauty of Houston when I visit Royal Roastery. From Arabs to South Asians to Latinas to etc., the environment is a beautiful blend of families and friends of all ages and backgrounds. It is LOUD as a result. Music, staff working, conversation. This is a place with no chill so be prepared. Food and drinks: All teas are caffienated so black tea based: the pomegranate ice tea was magical at $5 it was a good price and had fresh pomegranate seeds at the bottom of the drink. 10/10 Pistachio crepe was dubai chocolate vibes with pistachio creme, crushed pistachios of a magnitude that I understand why there is a pistachio shortage (value good) and a crepe stuffed with creme and shredded filo dough. The flavor was a little spiced nutty and size of crepe wasn't as big as I'm used to seeing but it was stuffed. It was a 8/10 for me. Dubai chocolate strawberries cup: 7/10 because taste was perfect but not enough strawberries in our cup. Flavor and quality was excellent but proportion was off.

Came here last Thursday at the spur of the moment but called ahead to ensure they still had their infamous kunafa chocolate bars. We were so surprised by how pack it was during the week especially how late we came. I was just happy they were still open and had everything I was craving. Although pack, the line went down surprisingly fast. We also ordered the kunafa ice cream. Everything was delicious!!

A must! You have to visit! I'm visiting from out of town and this came as a recommendation so we headed over there. Parking can be a nuisance, especially during popular visiting times, especially for the other stores. Immediately when we walked in I smells The chocolate and spices and coffee. The Turkish coffee cups and makers were Stunning! It was a sensory overload, but I can understand why. It's definitely a popular destination for many especially a place where they can get that viral Dubai chocolate that everybody is talking about. Normally I don't like to follow what's the most popular things. But this one I felt like why not I had the opportunity so let's sample it. It lived up to the hype and then some! I opted for the chocolate bar and the Dubai Chocolate Strawberries. The strawberries are a dessert featuring fresh strawberries layered with kataifi (shredded filo pastry), pistachio cream, and melted chocolate, often served in a cup. It was fantastic! Amazing! Totally worth the $18 price tag. My first time having pistachio cream. I need to get my hands on this dessert more often. I took advantage of the candy section, both gummy candy and the wrapped candy. It did not end there, I picked up a few flavors of whole bean coffee for my husband. Our visit was great. Crowded, but they had three cash registers running for candy's and one by the front door that I noticed. Everything was worth the price! If I'm back in the area I will definitely return! I'd like to try many other things they had.

Obsessed is an understatement. Now I'm in trouble because this is the only dessert I'm going to want to be eating LOL. I have been eagerly waiting for MONTHS to try this place out, and it was totally worth the wait. I've tried Dubai chocolate desserts here and there, but it wasn't as great as I imagined it to be... UNTIL I WENT TO ROYAL ROASTERY. I had been missing out on the real stuff. Def on the pricier side - I paid $51 in total for 3 Dubai chocolate bars. ($4.99 each), a cheesecake cup ($7.99), a knafeh slice ($6), and a fruit Dubai cup ($17.99) - but sheesh it's so good I can justify those prices any time. I actually already want to go back lol. Because of the high demand, the fruit cups are already premade, but everything is still so fresh!!!!! I put the cup in the fridge overnight, and it was phenomenal - knafeh is still so crunchy, the chocolate hardens up a bit, and the strawberries get softer. The chocolate bars are amazing. They load it up generously. The filling is absolutely addicting - sweet and nutty. The cheesecake cup was one of my favorite items there. It was light and creamy! The selection is huge. Place was packed as we went on a Sunday afternoon. We shared a table with another group. Very busy, but they manage the crowd well. Parking can be a nightmare. It's a very small and narrow lot that is shared with a handful of businesses.

I got the brownie and amarena ice cream as well as a sample of baklava. There is not a lot of parking so I came once on the weekend and turned around because there was no where to park or even stand inside. We went again on a Tuesday night and it was empty. Very very brightly lit inside. The service was fast and I paid $9 for two scoops of ice cream. I liked the ice cream, it's a little on the sweet side.

I went around 1015 am Tuesday morning. Only about 3-4 customers at the time. I tried a few things and of course the main reason I went was for the Dubai Chocolate. It was good but not great to me. I guess it's been hyped up so much, I didn't get that wow factor. I got that, finally factor. I'll still say it's definitely worth tasting for the first time. I got individual sticks which were about $5 and some change.

Royal Roastery has lots of mango and peach ice cream supply. We got their Dubai chocolate strawberries and Dubai chocolate crepe too. Everything was great but just know it is RICH! We definitely could've used a glass of milk with the crepe! My husband also got their Dubai chocolate milkshake which he said was good. The place is 1/2 store and 1/2 seated area, but there are no restrooms there. A few takeaways: 1. Overall everything was rich and amazing. 2. Mango tastes better than peach flavored ice cream 3. Go on a weekday or there will be a long line. 4. Parking is also very limited. 5. It is pricey!

This place is really spacious and clean. It has a lot of options too. However, I do admit that there are a lot of display cases with no signs. When I asked the staff what certain things or flavors were, they shrugged and said they didn't know. I got the baklava, kunafe, and dubai chocolate which were delicious. There's a huge case of baklava so if you're a fan of the dessert like I am, you're in for a treat. If you like pistachio flavored treats, want to try something new, or enjoy familiar favorites, you'd like this place.

My 1st time here and i really like this place. I tried the Dubai Shake, the turkish icecream , the kanafa and they all good. They have so many varieties of desserts, candies, baklava, spices, ..... Definitely a coming back for me so i can try more .

So good I went back the following week. This place is an experience. Packed with people and packed with everything you can imagine: spices, nuts, coffee and tea sets, chocolates, pastries, desserts, tea and coffee. Chocolate: They have a galore of different mini chocolates that you can pick from and pay by the pound. The description is a bit ambiguous so I would recommend asking a staff member to help if you're looking for something specific. I ended purchasing all milk chocolate even though I only eat dark chocolate. However, the ones I tried were extremely good and rich in flavor. Turkish ice cream: Watching this made was also an experience. They scooped the stretchy ice cream made from nuts up by hand and rolled it around pistachios into a cup for you. The flavor was unlike anything I've had. Very creamy and nutty. Not too sweet. It also melts very slowly. Knafeh: Obsessed. Absolutely. This was my first time having knafeh and I was addicted. Thick layer of cheese underneath with crunchy sweet flakes on top, topped off with pistachios. I literally crave this every week. I've never had a cheesy dessert like this and it's so so good.

I heard about this business via TikTok. I came here to try the viral Dubai strawberry cup and the viral Taoqi Mango ice cream. The parking lot was narrow, small, and was home to several other businesses. Good luck finding parking spaces. Once inside it is very bright and fully stocked of international goodies and sweets! The line was not too long when we entered around 1pm on a Friday. Everyone was in line for the Dubai strawberry cup and various other pastries, teas, and coffees. The Dubai strawberry cup was $17.99 and the Taoqi Mango ice cream was $6.99 plus tax. The Dubai strawberry cup I thoroughly enjoyed. The strawberries were sweet, chocolate was creamy, the pistachio flavor was light, and the kadaif added the best texture and crunch in every single bite! I'm upset I didn't buy another one. The Taoqi mango ice cream was a nice surprise, because they are usually found in Asian markets. This establishment had the mango and the peach flavor fully stocked. The packaged of the ice cream was really pretty. I opted for the mango which was semi sweet. The texture of the ice cream was creamy with a hint of mango flavor. The shell was soft as well. I think the dessert was overpriced, but delicious to try. Overall this was a nice place to visit for a sweet treat. I will definitely be going back. I would recommend getting there early to find a decent parking spot. They do have a few tables if you'd like to enjoy your sweet treat with family and friends.

When the rave started in tiktok about the Dubai Chocolate, I decided to try this place and do not regret it. They have the best, delicious Dubai chocolate as well as a lot of variety of desserts. Have not found any other place that gets close to the delicious Dubai chocolate from here!

Your typical TikTok dessert location, full of people, no where to sit, and long lines/waits for overpriced trendy food. That rant out the way, I just got the strawberry cup and Turkish coffee. The cup was fresh and tasted alright, but it looks a lot better than it tastes. Tried the Dubai crepe from a friend, which would be worth it shared across 2 or 3 people with your favorite type of coffee whenever the hype dies down and you can actually sit inside somewhere. Also note that the parking on weekends is crazy so don't bring your favorite car out here.

The food & desserts were delicious! From the fruit gummies & chocolate it's the best I have ever tasted! The gelato was also delicious very rich in flavor. The line may be long but the the service was quick for me and the place is very clean & organized

Dubai chocolate covered strawberries - 8.5/10 - $18 - These were really good but the sauces were thickened/frozen in the one we got so it was harder to eat, my friends was more liquified and it was a lot better Pistachio latte - 9/10 - $6 - Soo good, i got this half sweet and it was perfect This was my first time going here and it was such a cool place to me. All the halal gummies, chocolates, nuts, and snacks made me want to buy everything lol. As for their cafe, they have crepes and waffles , coffee , gelato, and more!

I'm a little behind on the viral stuff but my co worker brought me a sample of Dubai chocolate and it was indescribably good. Even more intriguing was the coffee options and fresh roasted beans. This is probably an easier visit on the weekday but I have to hand it to the Roastery staff, despite the crowds, they were fast and efficient combined with customer friendly. The entire store is a cornucopia of sweets and treats with much to explore. I grabbed beans and an assortment of candies to try at home and a lovely fresh hot cappuccino to enjoy there. Well worth the time and effort.

This is truly a hidden gem. I saw it on instagram and loaded up the fam to make the 45 minute drive to try it out. They have so many spices, nuts, candies, and tea selections. The staff was very friendly and it was very clean. I got the iced pistachio latte and hubby got the affogato, we both enjoyed these. We tried the Freez lemon mint drink and it was 10/10. Also got some baklava and other snacks. I would definitely recommend this place and make the drive to go again

Dubai chocolate bar and the crepe are 10/10!! Service is quick and the ambiance feels like I'm in Turkey!

I started coming here for the Dubai Chocolate. The first time I came here to get it, they only had 2 different flavors - milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Now they have expanded to different flavors on the inside of the chocolate bar. Of all the Dubai chocolate I personally have tried, there has been the best so far that I like. A balance between the outside and filling. Service has always been fast and quick when I came here. Also, the store has expanded as well to have coffee and other drinks with a small dining area as well to sit back and enjoy your treats and drink. The parking lot is kind of small as it is shared with every other shop in the plaza. They have other treats and teas as well, but I have mainly been coming for the Dubai chocolate bars the last few times.

I don't know if I can give this place five stars yet, because my brother went here, and surprised me with their Dubai chocolate for my birthday. Their chocolates are amazing. My sister-in-law found the place and my brother surprised me for my birthday, while also picking out chocolates for his children and his wife. The quality was amazing. Each bite was incredible. I felt loved by my brother. I got teary-eyed with his surprises. While he knew to get me traditional flavors, his children were all about the other flavors and they were very happy. It was a great day with their dad. I appreciated my brother and his wife quite a bit more.

I do not live in Houston. I found this place watching instagram videos and bookmarked it to go visit. I was so excited since you barely ever find a roastery anywhere! They have all kind of nuts roasted and very similar to Lebanon. I got several bags to mixed nuts to take home with me! They also have spices... malban... Turkish delights... and so many other goodies that will make the heart of any Arab happy! The service was prompt they packed everything I asked for the exact way I wanted it for travel. I had a friend visiting with me. I was so happy to see her curiosity and joy asking about items and wanting to know more about them. She even bought a bunch of things without exactly knowing what they are. She even reported back that her and her husband enjoyed them and she wishes she lived closer The place truly feels like you are home in Lebanon. I will definitely go back

I really enjoyed coming here. They let you sample so many things. I loved trying the ice creams and Turkish delights especially since I've never had one before. The people working there were insanely nice and never made me feel like a nuisance as I did sample a nice amount. The tea was great as well. Normally I'm a sugar and cream girlie but the mint black tea packed a punch on its own. My husband didn't like the baklava but I thought it was great - not as sweet as some others and very crunchy. The atmosphere and decor alone make it a great place to visit although if you want something savory, you would need to go somewhere else. Forgot to add that Royal Roastery allows you to make your own chocolate gift boxes.

I came here on a Sunday and the line was to the door! There's a parking lot in the back if you cannot find a spot in the front. I waited for about 30-45 minutes before I was able to reach the front of the line for Dubai chocolate. There's more than Dubai chocolate here. They have homemade ice cream, coffee, baklavas, spices, teas, lots of varieties of candies, and much more. Their iced pistachio latte was really good!! It wasn't too sweet. You can tell they use high quality sweetener because there wasn't any bad after taste lingering on your tongue. There's plenty of chairs and tables to sit and enjoy your snacks and drinks. The Dubai chocolate lives up to its hype, it's REALLY GOOD but it is $5 a bar so be prepared to spend $$$. Would I go back? Yes, on a less busy day!

Super cool place to try Middle Eastern confections, although kind of overwhelming (harsh white lights, loud music, countless options). Love that they have turkish delights cuz I'm always trying to taste those and they have a large variety of flavors. And while they have staff who assist and provide samples, I wish they had flavor labels so that I didn't have to ask about each specific one. Also tried the dubai chocolate covered strawberries and I love how fine their kanafa is, but I think I could do without the cake.

Second visit, and wow--utter chaos. Picture this: the line wraps around the room like a conga party, but then someone stops dead at the baklava station. For 10 full minutes. They're crafting a bespoke box of treats like it's a Picasso. Meanwhile, the folks behind them just... stand there. Immobile. Naturally, people from the back decide to embrace their inner rebel and cut the line. Cue 25 minutes of frustration that could've been 15 if everyone remembered kindergarten manners. That said, the treats are worth the madness. My niece scored over a pound of gummies (a champion move), and I grabbed 3 dreamy pistachio-soaked cakes and 12 Dubai chocolate bars. Total damage? $107. Fair price for blissful indulgence. But seriously, someone hire a Chaos Coordinator for peak hours. The sweets are divine, but the line drama? Utterly inhumane.

You walk in and you feel that you have entered a Turkish bazaar. Lines of Turkish teas, sweets, spices and delights cover the walls. If that wasn't enough, hop in line for gelato, coffee and pastries galore. Enjoyed a pistachio latte with a Dubai chocolate cheesecake and left speechless. My dad doesn't enjoy sweets but this changed his mind! Can't wait for the Dallas location to open up so I can bring my crew!

Here every week. I am going to be on a budget soon. Friendly people, good deserts, but it's too expensive. The Dubai Chocolate Bars are so good. Beautiful place.

Royal Roastery is located in Westheimer and has a variety of nuts, spices, Arabic ice cream, coffee, and more. The inside is very spacious, and there are some seating. They have a large selection of nuts and spices and Turkish delights, which they cut in front of you. We got a couple of different flavors of Turkish delight, and some pistachio ice cream, as well. They are very generous with the pistachios, and the texture of the ice cream is on the chewy side and was delicious! It was crowded and a bit hectic when we went on a Friday night, but we do hope to try more of their coffees, ice creams, and more another day. Parking is limited, especially at night, as there are other stores in the plaza. Overall, the pistachio ice cream and Turkish delighy was good, and I would come back to try the other options they have.

We got the milk cake, almond joy crepe, pistachio bubble waffle, Dubai chocolate bars and 2 mocha lattes. Everything was scrumptious. Very rich so we didn't finish in one sitting. The inside is extremely nice and the line moves pretty quick. There are no bathrooms though so plan accordingly.

It's right by Adam & Eve adult store so kids might be like wth. At least the kids I was with were in shock. lol Big place with plenty of treats including candies and gelato or ice cream. Prices are high. Gelato $10 for 2 scoops. The Dubai chocolate bar is small and priced at $4/bar. They're good but not THAT good to be viral. Order at the counter. The candies were not labeled correctly so the kids got almond candies that were suppose to be Oreo candy and wafer candies. They bit into the candies and were confused. Definitely Caution with nut allergies!! We let The manager know their labeling error and he apologized & gave us the correct ones. The pistachio latte was ok but I've had better at other cafes. I tried a few of the fruit or flower candies-- it's not for me.

What a fun dessert place to explore. Chocolates, huge variety of Turkish delights, baklava, kunafi, Dubai chocolates, different types of coffee drinks, gelato ice cream in exotic flavors. Overwhelmingly exciting and enticing. Highly recommend for locals and especially out of towners. Enjoy!

I was really impressed with Royal Roastery. They have tons of bulk items from tea, to nuts, and chocolates. They also have a dessert section and a coffee bar. We came for the Dubai chocolate which did not disappoint. It's very rich, so if you don't like sweets, just save yourself some money. I enjoyed the texture and the taste. We can't wait to return.

Finally got my hands on one of those fruit shaped cakes, it was good but I don't know worth 45 min drive for 1 flavor. I wish they had more flavors like they advertise in their stories. #patisserie #peach #houstontx

I will always visit Royal Roastery at least once a quarter! Their Dubai chocolate bars are delicious, i wish there was more tahini in it and it was creamier but i still give them 5 stars. They have great baklava too, i get the original or favorite flavor--can't remember the name! Their chocolate is good too.

It's my fav place! Amazing and friendly staff. Their ice cream is very delicious I'll be buying more now
