Crema's Take

Royal Bakery & Café is a beloved Ventura institution where multi-generational families return again and again for those legendary cow-shaped sugar cookies and surprisingly excellent sandwiches like the spicy tri-tip and turkey cranberry. Beyond the pastries and quiches, what keeps people coming back is the genuinely warm service and the unhurried pace that makes this feel like the kind of place where you're meant to linger over coffee and conversation. It's the rare café that balances being a destination for serious baked goods with feeling like your friendly neighborhood gathering spot.

Love the cow cookies. My kids and now grandkids enjoy them. The staff member was professional and friendly. My favorite sandwich is the turkey cranberry, it is delicious. Whatever you get here will be great. The desserts will definitely make a statement for any occasion.

Nice selection of treats. Picked up a few sweets at the end of the day and the cases still had plenty left (not sure if they sell them next day, there were a ton left). Unfortunately, the setting sun shines directly into the bakery cases and the chocolate coating on top of the macaroons were melted and messy to eat. The chocolate chip walnut cookies were a bit on the cakey side but tasty and affordable at $2.50 each. I would come back and try the fruit tart or carrot cake, maybe in the morning.

Everything about Royal Bakery is delicious! The new spicy tri tip sandwich is one of the best I've ever had. The cow cookie sugar cookies are amazing. Such a crowd pleaser. The salads are marvelous. Great customer service. Love this cozy and scrumptious little spot!!

Great food, excellent service. The variety of food and sweets is great, my favorite are their quiche and fruit tarts. A must visit for lunch or for a special cake.

Wonderful spot! Veggie options, breakfast, pastries, and lunch. The staff is super friendly. Veggie wrap was wonderful and they were able to exclude cheese for me ☺️ Will definitely come back when we're back in Ventura.
