Ordered dinner for pickup over the phone: Lumpia, Lechon Kawali, Sisig na Bangus, and Kare-Kare. Before placing the order, I asked how much the total would be, but the person on the phone said they would tell me when I arrived. That turned out to be a mistake because the total came to $112 for just those four items. The food itself was okay, but the portions did not feel worth the price.

I got the Oreo cheesecake boba. It was a nice sweet treat. I could clearly taste Oreos and cheesecake. It is thicker (slushy like) than the brown sugar boba. The service was good. Our cashier/server took time to recommend her favorite drinks, as this was our first time there. I only have 2 complaints: Most of my boba had a hard center. The seats didn’t look good to sit on. I think it would’ve been better if they had seats made from different a material so it could be easily cleaned instead of lo

Right across from queens hospital center Black Olive Deli & Cafe is the spot to go to for all types of food.

I had a wonderful experience at Rae’s Cafe today. The cashier was very friendly, and we shared a good laugh when I asked if my tea came with a refill or if I could get my picture on the “wall of fame.” The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was comfortable. I enjoyed sitting there while waiting for my morning doctor’s appointment. I even ordered another item to go because I liked it so much. Rae’s Cafe is a great spot with tasty food and welcoming service. I’ll definitely come back again!
