Bora Bora Smoothie Cafe - Jamaica Queens — Restaurant in New York

I had a terrifying experience here that could have cost me my life. I asked very clearly if the açaí bowl contained any nuts, and the worker (Rain) told me it did not. I can safely have almonds, so almond milk is fine, but I am allergic to other nuts. After taking one bite, my mouth immediately began to swell — I have a severe, life-threatening nut allergy. I had to run across the street to Walgreens for Benadryl.

When I returned, neither the worker nor the supervisor (Ali) initially apologized. Instead, they tried to excuse it as a “misunderstanding,” as if I was only asking about walnuts as a topping. I made it very clear I was asking about any nuts. Only after 20 minutes did Ali finally apologize, while Rain continued to argue with me and dismiss my concerns. When I asked for his name, he told me, “Do what you need to with my name.”

On top of that, they did not offer me a refund — instead, they just made me another bowl. The granola they served was completely stale and inedible.

Food allergies are extremely serious, and this kind of carelessness and attitude is unacceptable. People trust food establishments with their safety, and this could have ended very badly. If you have allergies, I would strongly advise being extremely cautious before...

🌴 Bora Bora Bliss: A Gluten-Friendly Paradise

My wife and I embarked on a culinary adventure to Bora Bora, a tropical haven where azure waters meet powdery beaches. But there was a twist: my wife has gluten allergies, and finding accommodating places can be as elusive as a mermaid's song.

🍽️ Gluten-Sensitive Delights The staff at Bora Bora were our gastronomic guides, navigating the treacherous waters of celiac disease with grace. They understood the intricacies of gluten sensitivity, crafting a modified bowl that danced harmoniously with my wife's dietary needs. No gluten, no worries!

🌟 Cleanliness Fit for a Seashell Throne As we sipped our coconut water, we marveled at the pristine surroundings. Bora Bora takes cleanliness seriously—like a hermit crab guarding its shell. The photos don't lie: every nook, every cranny sparkled like sun-kissed sand.

🥢 The Bowl That Stole Our Hearts The star of our culinary voyage was that gluten-friendly bowl. It whispered secrets of exotic spices and fresh ingredients. My wife's taste buds pirouetted with delight. She declared, "I'll be back, Bora Bora!" And so, with two enthusiastic thumbs up, we set sail toward future visits.

Bon appétit, fellow...

Took two trips here on the same day to sample something for brunch and for lunch. For starters, the place is pretty big despite how the place looks from the entrance. The people working behind the counter were pretty cool, service was on point. For breakfast I had the Nutella Custard Croffle and a can of Celsius. The croffle was delightful for sure, pleasing to the taste buds though one small complaint...I don't think croffles are a good base for any sandwich because it was messy eating that, the croffle was kinda all over the place eating it.

Came back here for lunch after a few hours in the gym to order a Mocha Haze Power Smoothie and a Smoked Turkey Croffle. Croffle sandwiches here are delicious as a whole but they are very unstable and can leave a mess so as a note, ALWAYS ask for extra napkins. The smoothie was very good and filling too. I could see myself coming around here a couple more times, trying out as much of their expansive menu as I...
