My favourite cafe in Palmy! Coffee is always excellent, vegan selection is amazing and never fails to please. I come here 2 - 3 times a week, and have never been disappointed. The mushroom hash is my go to, I love it.
Dropped in here with a few friends and family on Christmas Eve, and as we’d already had a large hotel breakfast, the rest of the table enjoyed an array of food that looked appealing, and met their approval. The coffees were well made, and the service was very warm and friendly. I couldn’t resist a large date and orange scone, which when heated and topped with butter, was bloody awesome! Great job team and keep up the good work!

Such a delight to find this place! We flew into Palmerston North and I’m thrilled that I did some research on vegan food in Palmerston North before we landed. We went for breakfast and I was so excited and blown away to see the huge vegan menu full of amazing sounding options, as well as many vegan options in the counter. Everything looked and sounded delicious - I honestly wanted to order one of everything!
I decided on the hash stack with added vegan sausages, which was amazing, lacking seasoning though for this salt lover - probably would be spot on for people who aren’t such salt lovers. Aside from that it was perfection and absolutely gorgeously plated. I got a ginger slice as well which I was too full to eat there and ate at the end of the day, it was yummy but rather sweet for me - I am not a sweet tooth at all though and that’s probably why.
My daughter got the big vegan breakfast which she loved as well as an apricot oat slice which she also enjoyed, but found the apricot too sweet - she’s also not a sweet tooth though. The other two we were with loved their meals.
I’ll certainly be going back if I find myself in the area again - which I may have to make happen because I want to work my way through that amazing looking vegan menu. The guy who served us was wonderful and friendly as well. The entire experience made my heart happy!
Food super tasty! Heaps of options for vegans, when I was in Palmy I went here twice within 24 hours. Pictured are the roast veg pizza with vegan cheese and the jackfruit burger.
Relaxed and quiet atsmophere so at least ou can have a chat with friends, not like in other cafes where the music is too loud or the noise is too much.The food is pretty good and the menu different than in a lot of cafes. Good vegan and gluten-free options. Good prices and choice of craft beers.Coffee is good and the latte and flat white are different which we found in other cafes can taste and look the same.
I was very impressed with Cafe Royale. The food is so well priced! They have a fantastic vegetarian/vegan menu which was why I chose to go there. I had the veg burger which had a spiced lentil patty and homemade bun - it was so so good! I got 2 meals, 2 iced coffees and a side of fries for less that $40 which I think is a really good price for the quality and selection of food. Will definitely be returning!
First time here. Food isn't bad here. Customer service is good. Ordered the salmon eggs benedict. And so did one of my friends. The poached eggs were quite inconsistent. His one was more runny/raw than mine -mine were perfect. Their chicken dish was good too.
One thing that surprised me was the way they presented their matcha latte which I ordered. Not a real big deal but the latte art was just a splotch of white foam in the middle. Their cappuccinos weren't presented this way so why slack on the lattes?? It was quite foamy but just glad it was actually matcha not something random like some cafes have done that I've been to in the past.
Came in today with a group of family for breakfast, food and service was out standing.Really good to see local and free range produce on the menu. Great location and atmosphere, will be back.
First time to Cafe Royal, great place with a lovely atmosphere and amazing food made with fresh ingredients. Will defiantly be back. Recommended to all
Yum yum yum. The best vege pie ever, and I am told the beef pies are also delicious. Lovely salad and coffee. Very pleasant setting. Loads of art to look at while enjoying the hospitality.

A very enjoyable stop for lunch on our way through Palmerston North. The menu options were fantastic and having a ‘plants only’ vegan menu was incredible to find. The staff were very helpful, friendly and diligent and the food was excellent quality - One going to the top of our NZ Vegan lunches out.
PS : Thank you to the very kind lady who not only helped us on our way but also praised the place so highly too. 🙏
Sweet little cafe with 2 amazing staff, the guy who was making the coffees was hilarious and the lady mostly doing tills was wonderful too, they made the experience great. This place also has some interesting coffees and drinks that you wouldn't find many other places like a dirty ginger latte which I had, it was surprisingly gingery- genuine stuff not just a syrup it tasted like. My friends first time having coffee and she loved it. 10/10 recommend
So many tasty vegan (and non-vegan) options! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Coffee was delicious (and I really appreciated that the different alternative milks had different costs instead of making them all the same!) Really appreciated the progressive vibe! Such a relaxing atmosphere, with great music playing, interesting magazines to thumb through, and cool art to gaze at while you eat/drink. The little area the cafe is located in is super cool too, tucked away near the center for sustainable living and an art gallery. Highly recommend this place!! You can also find free 120 min parking on Linton Street :)
Great range of food available, and in a quaint and cosy location next to a small art gallery with interesting pieces to be viewed. An entire vegan menu is available including vegan friendly beverages (cold and hot). Would recommend to any visitors of Palmerston North looking for a good meal!
We arrived at 3 & even tho the kitchen was closed, as they close at 4pm the food in the display was still available, I had a delicious Curry bean & spinach filo pastry, with a avocado matcha smoothie, my sister had a zucchini, kumara & cheese quiche, with a coconut mango smoothie, & we shared a small salad, it was quick service & the server was very friendly & welcoming, there was no rush for us to leave either, & we took our time.
I would try it again, & recommend it
The staff are so friendly and lovely. Food is displayed beautifully i had the brunch stack which was amazing and my friend has a breakfast rosti i think? Over all the food was delish the customer service was beautiful and their dirty ginger latte oh my honestly try it. Thank you guys
Excellent cafe tucked away in the Square Edge building. Has a great vegan menu, as well as a regular menu. The staff are friendly and welcoming.
Awesome place to find vegan food! They have so many options and honestly everything is so filling. I have left feeling completely satisfied every time. The service is amazing too
I found out about Cafe Royale whilst browsing a very helpful website called VeganPalmy. This is a cute little cafe tucked in a cosy gallery. They had an entire vegan menu. If I were staying in Palmerston North for longer I had frequented this place. Friendly staff, lots of menu items and cabinet items. The banana blossom 'fish' and chips was a delicious meal for lunch. The chips were perfect, the banana blossom 'fish' was really nice and interesting to try. The side salad was actually amazing. You made the stop at Palmy very rewarding. Thanks so much.
