Cafe Bora Bora

Great place. It’s cozy and nice. When you walk in, you really get that feeling of «being home.» The music is always good and adds up to the good mood. The food is delicious, healthy and for a reasonable price. I mean, what else do you need for a good breakfast/​lunch/​dinner?

Okay little spot right by the infamous Netcost. I usually come here before or after going to Netcost for some coffee and maybe a mini bagel with scallion cream cheese, depending on the time of day.
I knocked off a few stars because the staff is not very friendly. They don’t greet you with a smile or a good morning. Also, I have tried their food before (veggie Tuna in particular) and didn’t really like it. I would def. choose Rego Bagels over this place any day, sometimes you just don’t want to make the trek and go for convenience.
The coffee is good though. I’ll keep going for the coffee.

Café Bora Bora has been in the hood for awhile now. Located next door to Emerald and NetCost. As you walk into the Café, you notice the impressionable wall art that is on both sides of the wall. Very calming and nice to look at while stopping by and grabbing some early more breakfast or a late lunch.
They have a wide selection of food. Veggie tuna here is hella good. Especially in the morning. Always fresh and a strong and hearty breakfast will set you back by $ 8 – 10. Thats a bargain right there.
Came the other day and checked out the salad bar and hot food items. I basically filled the plastic container to the brim and it was $ 11. Considering I was a hungry hippo, it was pretty cheap. The food was great and salads were fresh.

I used to go here to quickly pick up breakfast when they opened. I went today to order a bagel with two eggs, cheese and sausage; three bagels and two cold cut salads. They did try to help but there were three staff managing one order —and they forgot to put the breakfast bagel in the bag. I called and went back to pick up the forgotten order. The guy’s reaction was, «you forgot the order,» laughed at me and did a «whatever» sorry.
I was visibly sick – it was clear I have a cold and due to their inability to multitask, I made two trips to their store. They should have offered a free tea for the mess up but the «laugh at customer and accuse them of forgetting to put the order into a bag with the rest of the order» is ridiculous, especially for what is a bagel joint fast food place that requires quick turn around.
I suggest others go to the bagel guys on 63^rd Avenue off Wetherole which offers the same food but the staff are much more experienced and professional at getting orders processed very quickly and efficiently without mix-​ups.
Also, as I was waiting, a seamless customer came in for her order and I walked out as they were running around like headless chickens trying to figure out where the order came from.

Just placed another order from Bora Bora. After 40 minutes, seamless called me to tell me that they cancelled my order because they are understaffed. They waited 40 minutes. Really?

We usually don’t have a problem with delivery from here but today was pretty bad. After waiting 40 minutes for our delivery despite being a block away, I called 4 times with a total call time of over 8 minutes (9:28−9:36 am), finally someone answered the phone. I was then told that they couldn’t find our address, the delivery guy got lost, and that he was finally on his way. If I wasn’t 8 months pregnant and suffering from bad joint pain, I would have just gone over and picked up our order. Considering they deliver to our address pretty often, this is seriously unacceptable. As I write this, my order still hasn’t arrived.
Edit: an hour later, the order never arrived. We called to cancel, but that took nearly 5 minutes of calling to finally get an answer. They claimed they had a different address for us and that was why they couldn’t find us. I’m used to them screwing up the order all the time but this is ridiculous. Never ordering from here again.

this place is great, i love the food and their egg sandwiches are awesome and big! they guys there on saturday morning. their coffee is great and their fruit juices are delish!

OK, definitely not that great. The lunch is only ALL RIGHT with a pretty wide selection of American-​type food and a salad bar buffet that’s weighed by the pound when you pay.
I prefer to go there to get take-​out for breakfast. Usually I get a toasted raisin and cinnamon bagel with butter. They put on TONS of butter now.

I used to buy my breakfast here everyday when i used to live in rego park. 2 blocks away from Bora Bora. Its been 5 years since i moved from rego park but my wife and i would go to this café every now and then to buy breakfast bcoz we both love their bagels. My wife’s all time favorite is egg bagel with creamcheese and bacon! They are so nice and very homey! The place is very clean and cozy! Eventho i dont live in rego park any more its worth the trip!

this is from two weeks ago, because my memory is horrendous, but I passed this place, somewhat inebriated, at 1:30 AM and that triggered my memories — remember in Beerfest when they proved «drunk memory»?
the fact that there is a place in Rego Park which cannot make a good egg bagel — my favorite type of bagel — is depressing.
even though it was warmed up, it didn’t help. they should ban these things from airplanes, because you could definitely kill someone with the bricks («bagels») made here.
don’t give me that shit about it being leftovers, or late in the day — this was at 1 in the afternoon.
I won’t be returning.

GOOD place for a quick lunch. The sandwich was just the right size and the meat they used was very flavorful. The service was pretty nice and quick. It is basically a counter shop where you get your salad or sandwich and then take a seat yourself. They’ll come and wipe tables, but you can put your own garbage into the bins.
They didn’t mind that I took out my own candy bar to finish off the meal.
