The Royal Blend

204 Metairie Rd, Metairie, LA

Crema's Take

This Old Metairie gem strikes that rare balance between a quick caffeine stop and a genuinely comfortable spot to linger, with a quietly nostalgic, old-school coffee shop feel that regulars keep coming back for. The kitchen takes real care with everything from their signature Royal breakfast to thoughtfully made paninis and sandwiches, backed by consistently friendly staff who get orders out without the usual café rush. It's the kind of neighborhood place where you might pop in for a cappuccino and end up staying an hour because the vibe—and the food—are too good to leave.

Conveniently located community coffee/breakfast/lunch spot with a large menu of salads, sandwiches and paninis, all very well prepared. Staff is very friendly, quite the comfortable spot for a dash-in or a meet up.

My go to spot for breakfast and coffee in Old Metairie — staff is always super friendly, food is always top notch & comes out quickly every time. Can’t recommend it enough. Five stars doesn’t do it justice

First time here (1/5/2026) and it was a disappointment from start to finish. I ordered a 2-shot espresso macchiato (espresso with just a small amount of foam), but I was handed what was clearly a latte—I could tell immediately just by the weight of the cup. I asked for it to be remade because it seemed like milk had been added. They remade it, but it still came back tasting like a latte with milk, not a traditional macchiato. I also ordered a double-toasted bagel with cream cheese and salmon. The bagel arrived cold, the cream cheese was in a small container on the side, and the salmon on top looked questionable and was cold. In all my years of ordering a bagel with cream cheese and salmon, it has always come out with the cream cheese on the bagel—not served separately. I even left a $3.12 tip, despite an I don't care attitude, but the drink accuracy, food quality, and overall service weren’t there. I won’t be back.

Very nice place. Quiet with an old school coffee shop feel. My wife and I enjoyed the Royal breakfast and cappuccino as well as the BLT sandwich. Would recommend for a nice morning cup ☕️

I got the turkey panini and my girlfriend got the tuna melt. We originally were just going in for coffee but the menu of food looked too good. Both of our meals were great. We’d definitely go back again!
