Amazing store! So convenient, high quality products. Large variety of snacks for the health nut and for the not so healthy individual. Lots of wine and beer options, tonic waters, and a coffee bar for fresh coffee! They have items such as meats and cheeses and also hygiene products and other convenient store options. Very cool aesthetic inside. Old school meets modern. Great for if you’re from out of town and forget some items.

On my lunch break, I stopped at royal blue to grab food. As I walked to the frozen section I slipped with no warning. I Hurt my knee, my right arm, and almost hit my head fortunately I caught myself. 2 employees watch me fall didn’t react until I said something about the slippery floor. Ruined my whole day. Nobody asked if I was ok. I felt so embarrassed and hurt. Now I have to go back to work with a hurt arm. So thanks..

I couldnt recommend Royal Blue Grocery more highly! I work downtown, just 2 blocks away, and every time I visit the grocery Im met with a wide selection of goods and a smile. I tried their Texas Holdem this morning and the sandwich was ABSOLUTELY amazing! Stop in when you get a chance. You WONT be disappointed.

Friendly neighborhood drop in and pick up what you want or need quick or take your time and sit at the sidewalk table and watch with a sandwich watching the lovely world.Saved my shirt last week when the person bringing the ice to set up our event was late. Royal Blue to the rescue. We didn’t have to give up our paid parking to hunt and gather ice in traffic. We walked.The world, and downtown feel friendly and convenient when your lucky enough to have a Royal Blue near you.

Friendly service You can pick up a lot of things. To eat clean or drink They also make in House Pizza. All of royal blue stores are pricey. More than seven eleven.

A bit expensive but very convenient. They also have a pretty good selection for the little things. Having a cappuccino while you shop is also a great bonus.

Pretty good selection of healthy and specialty products. Price point is fair but you will pay a slight premium due to location and aesthetics. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good wine and beer selection.

Love this place. Great treats and drinks. Its a good spot if youre on the go and need to grab something and they have a lot of great snacks and beverages for everyday. Nice atmosphere to sit and enjoy coffee and the chai latte was really good!

Customer Service is fantastic here. Everyone there is friendly and engaging, and seems genuinely happy you are there. The store is super clean and shelves are stocked and orderly. Great job on the ambiance. The only thing I would have to say is that their prices are a bit on the high side, but makes sense given the downtown hotspot it is located in. Other than that, always a joy to shop and eat there

Excellent little neighborhood grocery, conveniently located downtown. They seem to have everything I need, if a little pricier than usual. Lots of organic, vegan/vegetarian items, a little cafe with food and coffee, and a good selection of cold beverages. Friendly staff every time Ive been. All the important stuff a native Austin hippie or a visitor might want or need!

They have a decent selection of organic, gluten free items. However, they are at least a little overpriced. Perhaps a great deal overpriced on some things.

Review №24

Actual rocks and dirt in Royal Blue’s spinach tacos. I bit into a mouthful of dirt and rocks inside a taco. I was so shocked. I couldn’t believe it. I immediately told a man behind the counter and he was not phased. I thought for sure they would pull the rest off the shelves but nope. The rocks and dirt were crazy enough but the casual/non caring attitude over the fact that I just bit into rocks and dirt is confusing and unacceptable. He did give me a refund after I asked but I was shocked he left the rest of the tacos out. 🙈 don’t eat there 👎🏼

I always like stopping in for their Hair Bender coffee. It is good. Not your typical grocery store, a little pricey, but its downtown and convenient. Great selection of beer, wines, and eats. Be sure to try the Triple Chocolate cookies, if they have any.

I rely far too much on RBG. It has all the little things you may need to make a last minute guacamole, salsa, party bites as well as fresh cooked items from their cafe menu.I do love that they carry a lot of the local Austin brands in their inventory.

Has a great selection and helpful staff. My favorite thing they sell is Blue Sky soda although they dont seem to stock the orange one anymore (it tastes like an orange creamsicle in a can). They use Clove for their POS so you can get your receipt via email or text if you wish. Overall, its a nice place but you should expect to spend more than at most stores.

You typically wouldnt think a grocery store could be trendy and cool. Theyve figured it out. Great pre made tacos to grab and go. Super busy and very tiny, but it gets the job done.

What a great little grocery - a little bit of everything. Far better than a convenience store, its a little haven mid-city to help you sustain without leaving the area.

Royal Blue Grocery is my favorite convenient store to stop in downtown. They offer a lil bit everything you need. The staff is wonderful, friendly, and helpful. Its a bit pricey, but youll find most better products (like speciality, organic, healthier, local foods) not offered at regular convenient stores.

Not cheap, but Royal Blue is a convenient place downtown to stop in for snacks or beer. I used to live in the AMLI Downtown and always appreciated Royal Blue being so easily accessible so that I didnt have to drive to the grocery story all the time or face the crowds at Whole Foods if I just wanted a snack.
