The Raven Cafe Reviews

Coffee house vibe, a beer adventure, good food. And on weekends the eclectic schedule of live music yields an eclectic crowd. Always a memorable experience!

The food was really good. The fries were a little salty so make sure to say if you dont want that. But i had the chipotle burger and it was good. Cole slaw good. You get a menu from the bar and then go sit down until you know what you want and walk back to the bar to order and pay and get your drinks. Then they bring your food to you. I will definitely be going back again.

This is a great location in historic downtown Prescott. It's full of great art and things to look at while you enjoy a beer or cocktail. They have countless options for drink, including coffee drinks to go with all of those adult beverages. Good spot, nice staff, good atmosphere, stop by here.

Great drinks, and atmosphere. Menu stated fries are vegan but they use the same fryer as their meat.

This is a great bar and grill that has a LOT of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free choices. We went on a Friday night and the live music was most excellent. Young crowd, some with kids. Funky and eclectic! Try the jackfruit tacos!

Best craft beer selection in town, good conversation, great food at a reasonable price. What's not to like? You won't be disappointed.

Very clean, great service, friendly staff, food was very fresh, the only thing that I didn't like was my eggs.... Because I'm picky about how I like them.... I give it two thumbs up. Thank you Ravens cafe. My first experience was delightful

Really fun great place to hang out for music and fun

The best coffee shop in Prescott!
I recently spent an extended weekend in Prescott, and I spent a good deal of time here. They have live music almost every weekend, and it's definitely a good time!
If you're there for breakfast, definitely try the granola.

Fun place. Our favorite Sunday brunch. (Upstairs, outside, bottomless mimosas before 2pm.)

Great tap selection, rooftop seating, great service!

You order at the window and they bring your food. Their nachos were the best I ever had. Love sitting in the rooftop when the weather is nice! Beautiful mosaic wall. If you like micro brews, good place to go.

Vegetarian nachos, tacos, and more! I was in heaven. The selection of draft beers, tasty cocktails, and diverse menu will have me coming back for more. This has become my go-to place for pregame before hitting the rest of the bars.

The breakfast poutine with the breakfast potatoes was awesome! Try the Stoic Cider, absolutely fabulous!

We had a great breakfast here, and they do have a wide selection of craft beer. Firearms are not allowed.

Not at all inviting. Ok to elaborate, a visitor walks in to a somewhat cold and uninviting interior with no clear direction. No smiling faces or welcoming employees. This place is fine for locals.

Very busy on a Friday dinner night and a bit pricey, but the specials were excellent. Try to hit half price Happy Hour and find a seat and enjoy the atmosphere.

Not a fan of the prices, the murky "organic" menu listing or serve-yourself(?)-service. Not worth the price.

Sat on the rooftop terris and It was lovely! They have a very robust and ever changing selection of beers. So much so they keep it on a chalk board becuase they change it so much. The wait staff was fantastic, wonderful poeple really seemed like they wanted to help. Just a short walk from the court house this is really a great stop!

Never been there, but I did and it was awesome! Me and my girlfriend had some champagne hummus and talked on the roof! Awesome experience wanna do it again!

Excellent food. I had the beet salad and my hubby had a grilled cheese with beef chili. We also shared the bread pudding. All were delicious. A must stop if you are in Prescott.

Great onion rings, good but kind of small burger, the ketchup tasted kind of weird and was kind of chunkier than most ketchup

Ate at the Raven Cafe for the first time and their breakfast was delicious! I had the breakfast burrito and It was amazing. I went back the next day for lunch and had the Raven Burger and it was incredible!

I love their outdoor patio and their team is very clean and careful (wearing masks, washing hands, cleaning tables, etc) I appreciate what they are doing to provide their customers with a clean, enjoyable experience!

I will be returning and I highly recommend!

A nice find while we were out scouting locations for future events in this part of Arizona. Food was good. We stuck with the basics of a smoked-turkey Rueben sandwich and the Tabula-Rasa hamburger. The dip for the sweet-potato fries (red-pepper aioli?) should be available to order in a glass with a straw as it's that good. I'm skipping ketchup for the regular fries next time and getting this. As others have said, it's a bit on the "crunchy" hipster side with a focus on organics but even meat-heathens like us were satisfied with lunch and regular ol' iced-tea. We're up there in Prescott a bunch in the next year or so and we've decided this will be a regular spot. They have lots of wines and beers but, keeping with the theme, I've "probably never heard of them." The live-music and open-mic line up looks spiffy and I hope to drop in to participate soon. The staff was super friendly and never once rolled their collective eyes when I asked for drink refills which sometimes happen in these aware places. Be aware that if you are going for the cool upstairs/outdoor seating that you have to walk up some old, but secure stairs. Keep that in mind if you have family members to bring that can't navigate them. Winner overall.

Love the food and atmosphere! The homemade coffee's are great!

Housed in a historic, downtown building, the Raven Cafe is charming and cozy. We arrived in the middle of a trivia night and enjoyed hearing the questions while waiting for our food and eating. Our meal was delicious - the vegan nachos and lamb burger were both full of interesting ingredients and flavors. Large selection of beer and wine including a self serve collection of cans and bottles.

Stopped in for an iced coffee on a hot day in late July. The hipster behind the counter charged me $6 each for those 12 ounce coffees. I bought two of them. I checked the menu board and noticed that those iced coffees were more expensive than most of the beers they pour. I found that disappointing but I sat down and drank my coffee anyway. Probably should have had the beer.

Over priced and full of themselves. This place is a Hipster Trap. Everything is over priced and honestly I have not attend meetings and events because it was happening in this place.

The best espresso in the state!!! Never go out of business. You are apart of my family's tradition when we visit Prescott!!!

We were here as part of a wedding party. They handled our moderate-sized group well. Great drinks and a decent menu of snacks.

Overall impression: absolutely love this place. Unfortunately, I do not have year round access to a hang out spot like The Raven, but sure wish I did.

Beer: You can't beat the craft beer selection - and you can't beat the prices. They provide a full beer list with serving size and price, making your choice easy.

Food: I ordered the Tofu Vegetable Sandwich, vegan I believe. It was pretty meh, but serviceable for what it was. The side salad that came along with it was really nice: fresh greens with a solid balsamic vinaigrette.

Ambience: The downstairs bar/seating is a nice feel with good people around, but try to sit on the roof patio if you get a chance. It's great, just do it!

Sad to leave Prescott and this establishment, check it out if you're in town.

Food was decent and the beer selection was nice. We kind of spun the wheel for both and we're mostly satisfied with what we ordered. The downside was that we went on a Tuesday night which is apparently movie night (2 for 1 drinks!) But it meant the main didn't area was both loud and with limited seating. We had to go to the patio upstairs to watch, which was fine and with a nice view. But since we we're with my 90 year old aunt, it was a bit more daunting that we bargained for.

Self serve ordering. They bring the order to your table. Had traditional breakfast items.

Good organic menu selection and beverages at reasonble prices

Loved the art and atmosphere. I had the Raven burger, I would have expected it to have a bit more flavor though or spice considering it had pepper jelly, pepper jack cheese and a jalapeno. Overall a fun cafe that even has board games, would like to go again to enjoy a cup of coffee and a game. The Mayan chocolate crepe was nice. Not overly sweet.

Biscuits and gravy & burgers are the best in town!!!

The original and still the best beatnik cafe'. Food looks TOO good to eat.

You order from a cashier that you pay up front, that I wouldnt tip, need a little TLC, would tip servers but restaurant doesnt seem to be set up that way, I m sure owner makes tons of money but servers probably suffer, it's not a typical restaurant, food is good tho

Great service. Tables inside are well spaced. Masks required. Nachos a little spicy. Next time I will say no jalapenos.

Celiacs dream. The restaurant is so quaint and inviting. The food was phenomenal. The Raven burger is a must have. So good went there twice and only stayed here 3 days. Just had to go back before leaving.

This place has an amazing draft beer selection ... one of the best I've seen, actually. Dozens and dozens of bottles, too. The upper level patio is really cool, too. Great food, but portions are big, so order accordingly. Only gripe is that I couldn't order beer from the upper level when we were sitting downstairs after 10 pm (yes, they actually have separate beer options on the two levels ... apparently they turn off the tanks on the upper level after 10). Great place to go, for a relaxed night out, especially when there's live music!

This place has changed a lot over the years, but I still love it. Really great food, coffee and beer- fun vibes in the evening when they have live music. The outdoor loft area upstairs is so fantastic.

Service is fast, food is fresh and delicious. Atmosphere is cozy

My wife and I love this place. They have the best Chai Soy Lattes. I like mine "dirty", which is a shot of espresso added to the latte. Food is eclectic and very good. I was a little sad that they took the breakfast burritos off the menu....They now sell growlers in a very cool container. Check them out when you get the chance.

Dive bar but good beer choices chicken wings though are basically seasoning and bones.

I have been going to this cafe for many years and had beyond amazing experiences with service, food, etc. However the last two times that I went, Me and my friend where treated very badly by a man who I later found out was the manager. His name is Alexander and not only one but twice was extremely rude and unpleasant while taking our orders. When he saw that I decided not to tip him and he threw my card across the counter and walked away. I think that it's completely unacceptable for a manager to act this way towards customers, he should be setting an example for his team mates. I am so offended and will probably not go back there if he is on the front counter. Nobody is going to tip someone who has such a hideous personality and a face as unpleasant as his.

huge variety of bottled & draft beers, plus excellent food menu with many choices for vegetarians.

We were in Prescott for some shopping and lunch and decided to try the Raven Cafe. The Raven promises organic local food. The expensive prices were expected. The service was terrible. We waited for over an hour for our meal. One hamburger with fries and a chicken wrap with a salad. The only explaination we were given was "sorry it took so long". No one offered to refill our drinks, and no one asked if we enjoyed the meal, or would like anything else. The food was okay, the salad looked like some one opened a bag of lettuce and put it on the plate, the french fries came out warm at best and the hamburger was over cooked. I will never eat at the Raven again and suggest that you go elswhere.

This is a true gem of Prescott. Full of community spirit and warm hearts this coffeeshop, cafe, restaurant and bar is sure to suit your good nature and has plenty of vegetarian options.

Come for the vibe and stay for the awesome beer selection! They also get some of the best live shows in town like Fallen Arrows or Tesoro. Arrive early if you want a seat though.

Some of food was great some was super messy. Some strange pictures on the wall when we were there.

Always a pleasurable experience. Very friendly staff hosting superior musical talent.

Cool place for food, beverage, music, entertainment.....great Monday night game night

The food was delicious, even our coffee drinks tasted great! The staff was friendly and even though they seemed busy, our food was ready when we got there. The restaurant itself seemed like a warm and laid back atmosphere. Will definitely come here again, and next time we'll have to dine in.

Best coffee shop locally and awesome place to hang out for all kinds of folks

One star is too many. Got kicked out for not wearing a slave muzzle. Embarrassed me in front of my friends who also don't wear them. No law requiring it here. They did serve us on the patio. Mediocre food, over priced. "The raven cafe - service without a smile"

Our favorite breakfast stop before leaving Prescott. Perfect place to get you ready for the drive back to Phoenix. They also have great taste in music that is played. Rocking their Citizen Cope station our last visit!

It has everything you need and wonderful atmosphere.

Took out-of-town guests who were thinking of moving here. Way too pricey for tiny, tiny portions. Prepaid and left a $20 tip on a $50 tab. Only saw the server when he delivered the food. 4 people each ordered a 3 taco entree ($10 each plate). Also, two of the taco orders were only veggie (no meat). The other two, fish. Two people ordered a beer ($5 each). We were expecting full size tacos, but the tacos were as small as a small person's thumb. They were like an appetizer. One person would not get full even if they ate all four servings. Very disappointed. Won't be going back.

Great place to dine-in , they have quite a large variety of menu where I have the signature dish which is over my expectation. And if you want to have a drink, they do sell alcoholic drinks from beer to wine and they do open up late so if you want some supper, this is a good place to go to.

A nice location with a good design inside. The food was ok but nothing special. Portions to amount paid seemed lacking but quality was not there at all. The service was nice but took way too long to bring out our order. I was willing to give 3 stars but the abundance of flies was a deal breaker for me. The fact that a staff member was walking around swatting them while people were eating was unappealing.

Love this place. Great food and great people. Good selection of craft beers and varied wines, in addition to a great coffee bar. Frequently features live music and other events.

Wow! The Raven for breakfast is a great idea! We had the Poutine and the Breakfast burrito. Very ample portions and my mocha latte was fantastic. This coffee is the real deal! What a wonderful way to break fast before hitting the beautiful local hikes!

This is one of the first place we tried in Prescott a month ago. The interior is very nice and comfortable. Lots of art on the walls. The beer and wine choices are impressive. I tried the Bird Cage Blond. Tasty. Learned it is made in town. Planned to find and try that place. (Rickety-Cricket ...I did and regretted it!)
My wife smokes and liked the fact that we could sit at the back of the rooftop area. I give them a star just for that! I hate when we have to stand outside of a place and leave our drinks.
We tried the taco and nachos. They were both really good. Nachos were huge. Taco meat was delicious but a little too wet. Only got 3 tacos. Prices were a bit high. Especially for a place where you order at the counter. Won't be a regular spot for me. More of a special stop. Definitely where I will bring people that come to visit us.

Stopped in for a late lunch. Ordered the lemon chicken pita---specifically requesting No Onions & ranch dressing On The Side. Lunch arrived. LOOKED nice, but it had onions hanging out & ranch dressing already on the pita. Very disappointed!! The server took it back & picked MOST of the red onions out of my pita. It came back looking not very nice---messed up & picked over. I could'very done that myself! Shame on Raven Cafe!

The Raven burger was unforgettable! Great service with style! Can t wait to go back and try more dishes!

The Raven is my favorite spot for a meal in Prescott, try the blue corn nachos!!! Also they have live music at least a few nights a week. Great staff, crowd and atmosphere

Really nice rooftop patio. Seems like there is always a wait for service. Nice place to watch some live music.

This is the place for you if you own a Mac, listen to Jazz, and are an elitist snob in general. Perfect for movie critics.
