Ray’s serves the best, and most expensive, coffee in Chinatown, along with a wide selection of teas and a small Thai food menu.
Coffee is made to order from exotic ground beans and brewed with spring water. Some brews are rather pricey ($8.50—ouch), but true coffee connoisseurs will find it worth it.
Coffee and tea drinks are all served in an elegant display with a fruit tart or homemade cookie.
