And how the corner looked back in 2014 from our archives:
The Royal shares yesterday:
“10 YEARS! ✨ In the summer of 2015 (June to be exact), the Royal opened its doors.
Our family created this place of ours to be a neighborhood hub of LeDroit Park: super casual, minimal rules, good drinks and food that we’d enjoy in our own home. Our primary focus was to be a community coffee shop during the day and a corner cocktail bar at night, all while providing quality food.
We’ve stayed very true to this, however we were surprised at how much you all embraced our Latin and Colombian-inspired food menu, so much so that food became our biggest seller! (more…)
