My son invited me here to have lunch with him since he works nearby. Located in the 20th block of Penn Ave Cafe Raymond is a small restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch. You basically order at the counter, choose a seat and you are given a number for your order that you take to the table.
Most items on the menu are ala carte with the exception of their special combinations. I decided to order the cooked vegetables on foccata bread, My son ordered the Cafe Raymond burger special that comes with a choice of side and dessert. He ordered a side salad and a red velvet cookie. All sandwiches come with potato chips. Bottled water and other beverages are located in the refrigerator behind you that you can help yourself and pay for it.
We had our food in record time. My vegetable sandwich was so rich and filling I was amazed I could even finish it. It was so good! My son's burger came topped with an egg as well as your usual toppings. He told me he loved every bite of it. He also ordered for dessert a red velvet cookie which is his favorite. He loved that too! Outside seating is available if you want to sit out on a hot day. Bike parking is nearby and you probably would do well to park on Smallman St and walk over. Please note that reception is bad in the place and there is no free
Wi Fi.
I was thrilled to have my first experience here and am looking forward to trying out their other offerings. Believe me you won't leave hungry!
