WILTON – A resident is putting her extensive baking experience to use in downtown Wilton, opening up her own cafe and bakery on Main Street.
Carla Ray Fitch has 15 years as a bakery manager at the Farmington Hannaford market, spending her evenings teaching cake decorating classes with the local adult education program. Recently, Fitch leased and renovated the cafe at 285 Main Street, across from Key Bank. Ray Ray’s Cafe & Sweet Treats opened last Monday, serving breakfast, lunch and tasty homemade treats in between.
“This has been my dream for a long time,” Fitch said.
Lunches include soups and sandwiches, served on four kinds of homemade bread, and Fitch will making cakes for every occasion. Ray Ray’s will also be serving gluten-free and diabetic-friendly food. The restaurant opens at 5 a.m., serving breakfast until 2 p.m. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., with the cake shop open all day, until 5 p.m. Ray Ray’s Cafe & Sweet Treats will be open seven days a week.
The cafe can be reached at 645-9000 or through Facebook.
I will definitely be stopping by to check out your selection of Gluten-free items!!
Welcome to Wilton! Maybe you can do a few cake decorating classes monthly… that would be a fun activity for locals to participate in!
Be nice to have another place to get an inexpensive breakfast or lunch. Best of luck in your new venture,
Carla.,
Checked it out today and bought 2 delicious whoopie pies at a reasonable price! Will go back again and I wish them the best of luck!
I look forward to trying the gluten free items as well – it’s hard to find good gluten free bread.
So glad to have wonderful new neighbors! We have tried (and loved) many of their offerings. This is a great place to have a quality, inexpensive, breakfast or lunch! Looking forward to the day when your tables are full when we open our doors in the morning!
Two familiar faces! Congrats ladies! I hope that your new venture is everything you both want it to be and more. :)
We are excited to try it but would love it if you would put some tables outside!
I was hoping when I saw the headline, that there would be gluten-free options! We will be visiting! Very exciting!
Congratulations on your dream come true!
I will also make a point to support the bakery as you have realized that many, like me, are seeking gluten free alternatives; we still have a sweet tooth! I make it a practice to continually ask wherever I go about gluten free alternatives; Panera, Dunkin Donuts, Subway, and at local establishments. The big guys don’t seem to see the opportunity nor the need but locally the Homestead Bakery, the Snack Shack, Calzolaio’s, and now Ray Ray’s get it. Thank you and congratulations!
Always a treat to see a successful entrepreneur launch their business! Hoping for enduring success and deepened community relations for owner and customers alike.
Welcome and Good luck! Can’t wait to come in.
