In 1989, when Raymond Badach opened his postage-stamp-size luncheonette on Church Street, coffee was just coffee and Montclair was not yet a mecca for New Yorkers.
Over time, small changes such as adding a cappuccino machine gave way to bigger changes. Joanne Ricci came on board as manager in 1996 and partnered with Raymond as a larger version opened in 2004.They are now able to welcome lots more people (and kids!) from the big city or from down the road.
One thing hasn’t changed—our wish to provide great-tasting, fresh food at decent prices in an interesting atmosphere.
At Raymond’s you can also catch-up on the local gossip, hang-out at the counter with a newspaper, or meet some new friends—especially if you’re the new kid in town.
