This cafe is very warm and welcoming! The employees are very friendly and treat you well! The presentation of how they serve their coffee is adorable and the food is delicious! It was my birthday and they gave me piece of cheese cake, sang to me, and gave me a bag of treats! If you’re looking for good coffee, food, and treats, definitely go here!
i would move to philly just to have ray’s everyday. incredible coffee, amazing food. some of the best dumplings i’ve ever had, and definitely best general tsao’s.
We love everything we ordered. Authentic Taiwanese beef noodle soup made us nostalgic for home. If you’re in the area you should definitely try!
I came in the mood for tea, and the tea is lovely, but I am definitely going to return to try some of the varieties of coffee here. Dreaming of pairing some of the handmade sweets with siphon coffee on a pleasant spring afternoon soon...I also got a dumpling sampler and WOW, every single one was delicious! To top it off, the staff seemed really personable and friendly. Very glad I took a walk over here today!
Best dumplings EVER! And the coffee is to die for!
I came in there with bags from another store and ordered a muffin. As they prepared the muffin I asked can I dine in, and they said no because I bought food from another store. I felt this was ridiculous, so I said I did not want the muffin anymore.
I would go to Rays coffee all the time when I lived in Philadelphia. I have moved away and continue to order their coffee and tea, because their coffee and tea quality is unmatched. Once or twice they did not have the tea I ordered and the wonderful staff handled the refund quickly and swapped it out with some other delightful items to try. If you live in Philly, go to Rays. If you do not, order it!
Awesome place. Dumplings were homemade and delicious. Loved the beef and scallions. Nice pot of green tea as well. Definitely will be back and highly recommend.
I loved this place. To watch the siphon coffee being made is such a special experience. The coffee was fantastic, and I would have given 5 stars just for that - but we also really enjoyed the food too. Very fresh, housemade, and special. I can't recommend this place enough.
Found this gem in Philly Chinatown. Lovely family-owned business with all the comfort foods and hospitality!All of their coffees & drinks are great! I tried the lattes, matcha latte, cold brew coffee (very smooth) & Siphon coffee - pricey but well worth it. Rare to find a place with Siphon coffee gear from Japan & I am happy to be supporting a small minority-owned business.I also LOVE their Rasberry Oat bar. They hv a delectable selection of breakfast muffins, cake slices, cookies etc.Meals - I tried their dumpling sampler. Awesome choice and love the homemade chili oil.The Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup was SO worth it. Again a bit on the pricey side I know BUT try it at least once! The soup is sooooo flavorful, the noodles smooth and soft but not soggy, plentiful veggies and the beef slices melt in your mouth. It’s also a good size bowl so I definitely had leftovers.Also, I was pleasantly surprised that Angela (owner’s daughter & expert barista) remembered me by my name on the second day I came back. ☺️
