Crema's Take
“Ray's Café & Teahouse is a neighborhood gem where exceptional hand-crafted coffee meets an unexpectedly wonderful Chinese food program, creating a truly unique blend that keeps customers thinking about it long after they leave. The fragrant, high-end espresso drinks are clearly made with real care and precision, earning a devoted following who describe the experience as almost ruinously good—one regular admitted the coffee here has spoiled them for everywhere else. It's an intimate, cozy spot perfect for lingering over your cup, though the quality craftsmanship does come at a premium price that most visitors feel is absolutely worth it.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.
