Royal Ground Coffee

I don't normally write negative reviews but I have thought about this coffee shop and my experience there a few times. I used to go often. However, when you work in food you understand the importance of food safety and sanitization. The sandwiches got good reviews so over the years I've gotten several. But, plain and simple the last time I went in the owner touched MONEY, left to go smoke, and then came back to make sandwiches for us without gloves. Grossed out but not wanting to insult, I asked him to please put on gloves. He replied bluntly, "my hands are clean". Even if your hands are clean- by LAW you are required to wash hands before putting on gloves. It really made my friend and I lose our appetites! Having empathy for customers and following health code should be PRIORITY in food industry.

Hit or miss. Depending on who’s working (either one of the friendly younger employees or the older taciturn guy who seems like the owner) the service is either really friendly and spot-on, or kind of surly & stingy with Fox News playing in the background. Unfortunately I have only seen the latter there for the last few months. EDIT: Based on the reply I’ll be taking my business up the street.
