Royal Ground Coffee - San Rafael

Best coffee and sandwiches in town, and the most genuine business owners. Looking forward to their new location.

The restaurant offers an excellent variety of food and drinks, especially their smoothies! The service is quick and friendly, and it's a quiet spot where you can study or work if needed.

I love these people and their service, but to be brutally honest they need to stop roasting coffee. The intersection smells like a forest fire every morning because they are burning the beans. The coffee tastes burnt, like burnt wheat toast. They should leave the roaster there as a decoration, and bring in better beans from Red Whale. They probably need to replace all the espresso making and grinding equipment too, because they will never get the burnt taste out of it. Sorry. I really do love you guys, but your beans are burnt. Just smell them and look at them. Brown roasted. Black burnt.

Royal Ground Coffee is much more than just a coffee shop to me; it's a special place that words can hardly describe. Their drink menu is impressively delicious, offering a wide range of options for both casual and serious coffee enthusiasts. All the beverages are very affordable, noticeably cheaper than what you would find at Starbucks or Peet's. The atmosphere is warm and rustic, making it easy to lose track of time while working or chatting with friends. The service is top-notch as well. You'll receive your order in under a minute, and it's always served at the perfect temperature. The staff is wonderful, showing genuine care for their customers. Unfortunately, Royal Ground Coffee is set to close in September 2022, so if you’re in the area and have some time in the morning, I highly recommend stopping by. Perhaps with enough support, they can continue their fantastic business. I can’t say enough good things about Royal Ground Coffee, and I’m more than happy to give it a five-star rating.

The women Asian employee of the place did not want to give me the internet, and accused me of using the connector to charge my cell phone, I bought a big frappe, I did not take it well, and I could not send my homework!
