Royal Blue Grocery

How can a corner store be so darn chic ? Whether you're looking for chips , organic milk , or a bottle of Veuve, the Royal Blue's eclectic selections cater to just about anybody’s discriminating palate.

This location now has a parklette! Where customers can sit outside and enjoy their purchases and the weather while the rest of the city bustles on.

I started going to the 3rd street location back in 2006 when I first moved here, and I'm glad to see it's grown into an important part of the downtown Austin scene. It's consistently quality product.

I love the Reuben ! They have amazing Sandwiches . The coffee is alright too, but you really go there for the sandwiches .

Turkey Reuben is great... one of my favorite downtown lunches . If you're here for lunch , show up at 11:45 instead of 12 and avoid a line , especially if you're having a sandwich made.

The hibiscus mint iced tea is the best tea in Austin, which is why it’s on our list of The Tastes That Make the City : Austin. Read more

Canned or cartoned iced coffee by Cuvee or Stumptown (respectively) can always be found here which is fantastic

Royal Blue has great lunch options. Spinach Salad is especially good. Order their Cranberry Pistachio White Chocolate Cookie at checkout.

The avacado migas are amazing. Also, they are one of the few places in town that sell Saint Arnold microbrew root beer .

Great wine selection . Love sitting on the patio with wine and friends and watching the people. Tim is the bomb.

Selection feels like a scaled down Trader Joe's. Also reminiscent of a NYC grocer - love it!

Royal blue tacos are delicious and freshly made ! For breakfast , they also carry Taco Deli ones!

The Italian sandwich is the best...prosciutto , capicolla, mozzarella , tomato pesto on focaccia .

this place has a ton of really interesting drinks, but if you are looking for something really unique, grab a bottle of Prometheus Springs Read more

The watermelon aguas fresca is the best I've had outside the valley.

Grab and go. Great breakfast and lunch options.

Always friendly service . Pretty fresh food options. Bad prices, but you're forced into it if downtown

Tacos are great, just a little pricey . Tried the iced coffee again, but not a big fan.

There's a table toward the back that's perfect for people watching during the lunch rush.

Try one of the pre-made sandwiches with sweet potato , curry mayo , hummus , and provolone . You're welcome.

Love those hot sandwiches ! And the mexi cokes . Mmmm.

Soup . Any soup . You can't go wrong.

Love their pre-packaged foods, just wish they weren't so dang expensive ! $$$

Tip: sit farthest from the side walk to avoid people asking you for change and heckling.

One of the best places to peoplewatch in Downtown Austin.

Hot lunch tacos are amazing. Especially in the cold weather! Cappuccino and day old pastries are great for a quick bite

Guiche (rhymes with quiche ) is delish.

The most vibe-y grocery store I have ever been to :)
