Yeah, I'm a fan. This was my first time to Cafe Raymond and it was a very enjoyable experience. We went to Sunday Brunch after church and arrived at about 12:30 p.m. to almost a full house. It's a long fairly galley style space with the ordering line and kitchen on the left side of the room and a long line of 2-person tables along the right side.
The entire place smelled of delicious bacon when we entered and inspired my husband to order the BLT. I ordered a cup of hot tea and was given a cup of boiled water and shown to the tea station where they had several types of upscale tea bags in various flavors. I chose a traditional Earl Grey and it was a very good cup of tea - they also had lemon, milk and sugar for those wanting to doctor their tea up.
I had read about the fantastic Blueberry Ricotta pancakes and decided I would try those; my husband got the BLT with roasted potatoes on the side and a delicious fresh crunchy dill pickle spear. The pancakes weren't the end-all and be-all of pancakes, but they were quite good. I will definitely be moving on to trying some of their sandwiches next time.
During our time there I had the chance to speak with a couple of the lovely girls who work there and they were both very friendly and helpful. One of the best perks about this place is that they have nice restrooms in the basement with elevator (or stairs) access. This is important for me as I have mobility challenges and stairs are super taxing on me. It's great to find a restroom in the Strip District and especially one for folks who can't do stairs.
I will definitely return to Cafe Raymond as we had a great Brunch meal and an all-round enjoyable experience.
