Our Story
Ray Laws-Locicero is an electrical engineer by trade who moved into coffee full time, after first dabbling in commercial roasting with his sister on shared equipment at a roasting facility in Queens. He and Patricia Laws-Locicero opened Orange Sky on Main Street in West Orange in April 2024, with a Giesen W6A in a roughly 270 square foot back room, a two group Kees van der Westen Spirit on the bar, and a nitro system on tap. They buy most of their green coffee through Royal New York, and roast both bold and bright: darker for the milk drinks, lighter for the single origins. As Ray described the room, they were going for minimalist but not austere, with pops of bold color.
