My Cup of Tea at the Royal/T!
The first time I walked into The Royal/T Café was magical. Inspired by Japanese pop culture, LA's first Cosplay Café, Royal-T took on a staple of Japanese otaku culture and flipped it into one of LA's newest hot spots! Brought to you by Susan Hancock (whom I had the pleasure of meeting), the café, concept shop and art exhibition space pays homage to those with a love of art, imagination and simply a cup of tea! When imagining the scenery, think Alice in Wonderland meets Breakfast at Tiffany's. A whimsical atmosphere with a modern twist. The lolita-esque café is entertainment delight all in itself. Decked with chic tables and wait staff wandering in costume maid dresses, serving tea and cupcakes along with their extensive menu catering a fusion of Japanese/French cuisine, you'll find yourself in utter bliss. If your tired of the same old, loud and crowded lounge when meeting your friends for some drinks....this is the place to be! With an eclectic change of scenery, The café is open from 10-10 and serves delicious sakitinis, sake and a long list of wine and beer. You can't go wrong. Guys, dont be afraid. It's an atmosphere any guy or girl in their right mind would enjoy. If your in the LA area, this café is definitely worth checking out! With loads of tea-cups, cupcakes, specialty drinks, walls covered with photos of dashing harajuku type girls and art to last for days...If you're in the LA area, this place is definitely worth checking out! Oh, and lets not forget...If your looking for a great place to have a party or showcase your art/products, The Royal/T offers event space and pop-up shop rentals at competitive prices with a complimentary launch party. What more could you ask for? Skip your cup of tea at Starbucks, scribble your name off the guest list at Playhouse and come hang at Royal/T. You won't be dissapointed! Until next time...
