Royal Coffee's public-facing education center and tasting room on Broadway is unlike anything else in the East Bay -- guests choose from rotating hot-brewed coffee flights showcasing rare single-origin lots sourced directly by Royal's green-coffee buyers. The space features an 8-tap bar, rotating workshop programming, and the full SCA Pathways curriculum, making it as much a working lab as a cafe. Coffee flights let you compare three to five cups side by side, an approach that turns a visit into an informal cupping without the cupping-room formality.
