I saw the owner wiped the spoon in the garbage bin when he was making a sandwich for me. I did not say anything to him ; but I threw away the sandwich and never went back to buy anything from that place again .

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!

Crab salad, salmon, and brussel sprouts. The food is good. The guy can be a little cheap, but it's to make sure there's enough. The lady at the counter is very sweet!

We finally came here and it was great. Service was awesome, food was hot and tasty, and we will return. The portions were a bit bigger than most places these days, but that just insured a comfortable nap after we got home. 😴 Keep up the good work. 👍

I stopped by a nearby hospital and was able to eat a variety of foods at a good price here in front of the hospital.The store was clean, the price was good, and there were many customers. Most of them have take out customers.

I have only had the breakfast and a turkey sandwich and I have to say that I'm fairly impressed with the breakfast -- especially the fact that they make decent scrambled eggs!Not the best but okay and at least they know what it is; many hole-in-the-wall places actually think it's just chopped up omelette-styled eggs!! And the sausage patties and links are actually flavorful on account of the oil (some people would think it "greasy" but to me that's the whole point of "hearty" foods that fill you up)...ditto the hash browns.The turkey sandwich on the other hand was the same as you can get literally anywhere else, especially since they charge extra for basics like lettuce, tomato, and onions -- and hardly give you any for it!!!But I'll definitely make this a regular stop for when I want a good old-fashioned hearty breakfast! Unfortunately it's pretty expensive at $10/lb. but most folks would probably not eat in the "hungry man" portions I do and a petite lady should be able to spend less than ten.

This place was bad….like really bad. I was walking to another place when I spotted this joint and was like hey, my namesake, gotta support and give it a try ?. Boy do I regret it. It is not really a restaurant/cafe. It’s like a cross between a bodega and a hot buffet place. The hot buffet is sorta expensive (but what isn’t expensive these days?) at $9.99/lb. I tried (literally) a spoon full of Mac and cheese, sweet plantains and a piece of fried fish which came up to almost $9. EVERYTHING was disgusting!? Nothing had any seasoning on it. The plantains were OOZING an extreme amount of oil and barely fried. The Mac n cheese was definitely made with Cheez Whiz and other imitation “cheeses”. The place was extremely hot inside. No AC and the cooler for drinks was broken so every beverage they sold was room temperature…..in July, in NYC summer heat temps of 90+ degrees. I guess they get good business because they are locate across the street from a hospital center and the area has little to NO food options. Luck them! I would not recommend.
