Ray's Cafe Tea House - Darby Township

I had the most exquisite breakfast at Ray’s Cafe and Tea House. I came in at 9am and I was able to have either breakfast or anything from the entire menu. I ordered the Leek Boxes for my breakfast which Grace served with the homemade soy sauce and homemade chilli sauce on the side. I never heard of the siphoned coffee before, so I ordered the Japanese Charcoal Roasted Sumiyaki Coffee. What superb flavor and presentation! There is a lovely cafe counter where you can purchase any of the fine coffee and tea to bring home. I look forward to visiting this lovely place next time I’m in Philly.

Really great, small, family owned spot! Delicious food. They treat you like family when you dine here

Ray is a knowledgeable and friendly host who enjoys sharing his unique brewing process. It’s a homey little family operation with a mix of interesting coffee and Chinese comfort food.

My wife and I went here thinking it was going to be a nice chill environment as one would think a “ cafe “ would be. The entire time the manager was yelling at his staff and being extremely rude to them in front of a dining room full of customers. Then he proceeded to say “ men work harder than women “ and proceeded to talk about only wanting to work somewhere so he could get with the ladies. He made such a hostile work and eating environment. I’m shocked anyone chooses to work here. He would belittle his staff for any issues that happened. He stated he was “ hangry “ so he started to make himself food and when he was finished he slammed put the hot plate down and loudly ordered his staff to put it away. He was so obnoxious. If our sever wasn’t as nice as he was I wouldn’t have paid for my meal. I will absolutely never return here. And to add we got 2 coffees and a small slice of cheesecake and it was over 40$. Worst place ever!

I enjoyed every meal here and the tea was wonderful. After meeting the owner and rest of the staff, I felt my money was going to good people; they truly shape the atmosphere. I will soon be revisiting and sharing this treasured resturant with my friends. I wish I found Rays sooner.
