O.M.G. … what a wonderful hidden gem in Montclair! The food is amazing and the service terrific… but the greatest part is that it’s run by a Latin family from Ecuador, Honduras , Colombia and Puerto Rican … they have done an amazing job of incorporating the Latin flavors to the American breakfast! And yes.., let’s not forget that their pricing is on point and their coffee is nice and strong . I can’t find any reason why not to go over and over again ! Btw… try the grilled cheese with bacon 🥓💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 Winner !!

I always come for the breakfast. The staff is always so friendly. It’s a small spot but I’ve never had an issue with seating. Can also enjoy nice outdoor seating. Highly recommend.

A Hidden Gem for Breakfast Lovers
Ray’s Luncheonette is my favorite place on earth! The food is amazingly delicious and well-portioned. Whether you’re craving classic breakfast staples or Latin-inspired specials, Ray’s has it all. The Chorizo Omelette with Home Fries and Wheat Toast is a must-try, and their house-made Corned Beef Hash is D-Freakin Lish! ?☕
But it’s not just the food that keeps me coming back—it’s the warm hospitality. The owners, staff, and everyone at Ray’s make you feel like family. It’s a family-owned business, and their genuine care for customers exceeds expectations.
Seating can be a bit tight since they’re usually at capacity, but the quick turnover ensures you won’t wait long. And when the weather’s better, I highly recommend enjoying Ray’s outdoor seating space. ?
In summary, Ray’s Luncheonette is a wonderful family-owned spot where every dish is a winner. I recommend everything—they’ve never disappointed! ?
If you’re ever in Montclair, don’t miss out on this delightful gem! For more details, you can visit their website here. ??️12

The best breakfast in Montclair! Staff is great. Regular breakfast items like pancakes are top notch but their take on BreakMex (did I just make that up?) sets this place apart. They care about the quality of every ingredient and it shows in the final product. Lunch is excellent, too! I am still trying to talk my NYC friends into taking the trip out to Montclair because Ray's is worth it!

One of the great local spots for a perfect Taylor ham, egg, and cheese on a classic poppy Kaiser. Always excellent.
