Raven Cafe

I’ve visited the Raven twice this last month. On both occasions, I ordered their Mushroom Swiss Burger as this is one of my favorite burger combinations. They list the burger as K4 gourmet beef, raised locally, and hormone-free Angus, served on a brioche bun. I had high hopes. My first visit was on a cool evening, so my wife and I ate on the patio upstairs, where there is an amazing mosaic adorning the patio on one side. It’s a great place to have a relaxing meal. They cooked the burger cooked medium-rare, just as I like it. The fries were as one should expect. The meal was a delight! I returned a week later with my brother-in-law and ordered the same burger. This time I tried the coleslaw. Sadly, the burger was quite dry as they had overcooked the burger to well-done. There was no juice left in the patty. The burger came out so fast; I wonder if they precooked the patty and rewarmed it for service, as done in cafeterias. The coleslaw lacked any flavor; so that was a miss. My brother-in-law ordered the beet salad with chicken and said it was very good. When ordering, the process flow is that you place your order at the counter and take a number to your table. I don’t really have an issue with this approach, except that once the food runner delivers the food to the table, no one stops by to see if the food is OK, or you need anything else. If you want anything more to drink, or to order, or if there is an issue, you must chase someone down. At least that was our experience up on the patio upstairs. Since we went to the restaurant after the rush both times, it wasn’t crowded, and the service and food quality shouldn’t have been affected. I won’t write Raven off my list and may give them another try. Hopefully, management will look into their service model and improve service and the back of the house to improve in the consistency of quality, as they've proven they can make a great burger. They just need to do it consistently.

Absolutely beautiful place with delicious, organic food and drinks! 😍 I had the breakfast burrito with brisket and it's easily one the best burritos I've ever had! 🤯🤤 The staff are wonderful as well! Local art all over and upstairs has a patio! A must try if you're in town!! Can't wait to come back! 😁

One of our favorite local Spots especially roof top, Hailey, Caroline, and the whole Staff are always friendly and accommodating. Great breakfast lunch or diner, love The rotating artists always something new to see for art as well.

This place is amazing! Vegan friendly! Such a great atmosphere; the staff are friendly and charismatic. The rooftop balcony is the perfect location for a delicious meal with a view. Thank you all for a wonderful experience! Thank you Sarah for the Cauli-Fritas! I love this place; I’ll be back!

We decided to have brunch here based on the menu posted outside describing vegan option available. When we placed our order the server told us they could make scrambled tofu instead of eggs if we preferred. We placed our order assuming they knew how to scramble tofu. Much to our dismay the plate came to us with actual crumbled tofu without any tumeric or flavoring. It was soggy and cold like they barely warmed it up. I tried adding salt and pepper but it was too soggy to absorb the seasoning. The toast ended up getting soaked, which was another disappointment because the one half I was able to eat tasted great! Luckily, the roasted potatoes were good so I didn't starve. (The chai tea was pretty good, so that is why I give 2 stars. We've been here for dinner when there are live performers). The server told us that the chef doesn't have seasoning like turmeric or paprika available to season scramble tofu. I think they shouldn't offer it if they cannot make it taste acceptable. For $50 go somewhere else for vegan brunch. Another issue we had was with a mixed message we got regarding bringing our small pet dog inside. One server said sure just go upstairs to the rooftop dining area and place your order downstairs to be brought up. Then when we walked in the other server lady said only service pets are allowed upstairs. Our dog is an ESA pet, but we didn't want to cause a scene, so we put our pet back in the car. It was just confusing for us to say the least.

Whenever we find ourselves in Prescott, this is a restaurant we always visit. This was our first time going for Sunday brunch and the Southwest Benedict was amazing! Both the potato medley and cucumber and tomato sides were delicious. There's always a great ambience, live music or good conversation while patrons play board games that are available near the counter. Highlights local artists and provides space for their art that can be purchased. Awesome selection of coffees, teas, tap beers and wines. Drinks also available in the beverage coolers near the front.

Doordash app and register system is faulty server admitted as went in person to order instead because of faulty app order appreciate sincerity. That's not main issue. Pros: alway loved this place atmosphere for friends and live music nights. Even though limited space indoors not including rooftop patio is doable never been issue for me. Burgers and fries to die for. Don't even mind no classic soda it's supposed to be organic Cafe no complaints there. The con: recent trip ordered normal order burger fried combo with extra drinks and a GF cookie.... Was to go order at 5pm and was busier than usual this day... Understand busy but not getting half of my order is off putting with what was paid for fries included with burger order was not in box once arrived home unfortunately too late to dispute in person. First time this happened ever for a to go order here. So have to dispute with bank card that service was not delivered (big batch of fries are 1/2 the meal when already included and paid for with burger meal so that does feel like a waste of money and have to go somewhere else to get the carbs in to feel full.) from now on have to super check to go boxes before leaving if return here. Mini complaint: not huge issue but asked for Gf bun(for burger.) but had Gf BREAD(for sandwiches they make.) a minor difference but still a difference at least is GF still but not same bread for burger experience. So yeah two strikes for someone in kitchen not paying attention to order that day or they ran out of other the gf bun couldn't tell ya again wouldn't mind this if had at least the other half of the order the Batch of fries missing. Unfortunately one time I don't ask for receipt now I won't forget only have bank record at least to dispute at least. Picture is only other evidence have of that missing item (one small box just side veggies for burger and the actual burger no room for fries on this box or sign of it if was enough room.)

A true one-in-a-million establishment. Whoever owns this cafe is my new best friend and must have a great heart. Every aspect of this coffeehouse/restaurant/music venue offers the best of the best. I drifted back to San Francisco when I lived there in 1972 ans discovered my first coffeehouses....such wonderful ambiance and quality food and drink. All I can say is that I am considering moving to Prescott now.......

Came here on a Friday night for coffee / Tea and ended up ordering a side of nachos because, well it sounded amazing. It was crowded but the service was still great. The gentleman that was at the cash register.. I forget his name unfortunately but he was so kind. He knew we were in a rush cuz we had to be somewhere at 6:00 and though we waited patiently for our food, he checked on the order for us real quick even though there was a line. Truly appreciated that. The nachos were so yummy, and did have a kick to them. Loved it, and loved that it didn't feel so "heavy" like most nachos. It had fresh salsa, and guacamole and olives which was a surprisingly yummy topping. The ambience was nice, lots of little lights cuz of Christmas decor that's still up. Definitely will come back when we are in town!

I do love the ambiance here. Went to listen to some live music and decided to have some food. The music was great, the wine was good. Food was disappointing. Service was ok. Fish tacos were dry and lacking in flavor sadly. The southwestern veggie "soup" Was like a a can of black beans, half can of corn and some chiles. Was not a soup at all. And on the spicy side. Both items could use a serious upgrade IMHO.

Raven Cafe is a delightful find right on the main business drag in Prescott, AZ! This charming cafe offers a unique selection of healthy options that cater to various dietary preferences, making it a perfect spot for breakfast or lunch. The menu is impressive, featuring creative dishes that are both nutritious and delicious. I tried their quinoa bowl and a smoothie, and both were fantastic! The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were well-balanced. I also appreciate that they offer plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, which is a big plus. The atmosphere at Raven Cafe is warm and inviting, with a cozy vibe that makes it a great place to relax. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring that you have a pleasant dining experience. I also love the local art displayed on the walls--it adds a nice touch to the ambiance. Overall, Raven Cafe is a fantastic spot to grab a healthy meal in Prescott. I can't wait to go back and explore more of their unique menu offerings!

Had a yummy lunch at Raven Cafe. Lots of seating options. Service was good and it's counter order but table service. I had the tacos that they recommended and it was good.

Wow everything on the menu is to die for!! The veggie burger is exceptionally good, but sells out quick so if you can get your hands on it I would recommend it. The service is amazing - Stephen lights up the whole place! The outdoor seating area has heaters for chillier days. Overall, it's a bit pricey (the super small side of miso salad with my burger was a $2 up charge), but well worth it and there's plenty of vegan options to choose from.

According to my companion, the Food was mixed. The avo toast was literally sliced avocado on a piece of toast (really good bread btw) with an egg on top. The GF chocolate chip cookie was amazing and the matcha was creamy and not overly sweet. The Cubano was both dark and sweet (but that's the point isn't it?) Not a local but I'd come back.

A morning coffee (mocha) at the Raven Cafe was outstanding. The atmosphere is pretty cool. Cafe meets country bar and it works well. Pretty fun with its beer bar and wooden floor brings in a touch of the old west. My egg sandwich was simple but outstanding. The people that work here are great and will help you out. The Kitchen music was too loud and I asked to have it turned down and they did instantly. Ravens is a must for your cafe and a bite to eat. Cheers!!

The staff was very nice and genuine. The food was great I had the biscuits and gravy and it was true homemade gravy which I appreciated. Overall felt attended to during my meal and enjoyed the music and the warm environment.

Tried the Raven again for lunch and this time everything was good. The Mahi tacos were loaded with fish and served on double tortillas, good, though could have used a bit more spicy heat. The beet salad with beet hummus was quite good and a good amount of food for the price.

Cute space with local art & beautiful rooftop patio. Order at the counter and they'll bring it to your table. Easy peasy. Food is kind of inconsistent. We went one day and ordered the hummus plate and vegan nachos. Both were piled high with amazing toppings. We thought about that meal nonstop, so we went back 2 days later at the same time, but the portions were minuscule. Consistency in the kitchen is key. Luckily, the flavor was good both days. However, we actually had to go back and ask for more "cheese" sauce because they put so little on the nachos! Strangely, the hummus plate had a ridiculous amount of plain cherry tomatoes on it. Not sure if they were trying to use up the produce before it went bad, but we actually laughed at the level of tomatoes. Still, a laid back place to go for vegan options, beer specials, lattes and more. We'll definitely give them another chance.

Very frustrating cafe. I've been there twice and first time was disappointed with the way you have to order and the food was weird. I thought I'd try it again and same experience, I wish it was better managed because the building is nice.

Always a fan. I've been coming here for years, and it's my home coffee shop- away from home. Great service, viewed, and delicious coffee. I tend to patronize more for the drinks, but I enjoy a healthy and light meal every now and then. Come for the drinks, stay for the games and live music.

Cortez street is adjacent to Whiskey Row and is filled with shops and restaurants. This little place was the perfect spot for breakfast and definitely well known by local patrons. It is a coffee bar and also a full liquor bar for the morning Bloody Mary or a stop back at night for live music or movie night. The coffee was serve yourself and always being freshly brewed. But you could also order a number of coffee drinks from the counter as well as a nice little breakfast menu: I had the breakfast scramble with bacon and it was delicious. My only complaint was that it had a LOT of jalapeños in it. I would have left them off if I had known how many there would be! (I just picked them out- see pic). My husband had the breakfast burrito which also came with a side/ he had the fruit. All the servers and barista were friendly and service was efficient. This place is in a historic building so it was fun to look around and appreciate the architecture along with local art on the walls. If you're in downtown Prescott and want something a little off the beaten path, check this place out!

Quirky cool restaurant. You order at the counter find a cozy table indoors or outdoors which is upstairs. My breakfast was so delicious and very fresh. Scrambled eggs with avocado (perfect) expertly toasted bread, super delicious. Hubby had Eggs Benedict which he states was delicious. Service at counter and being served was equally good. Love this place

Very slow service. 3 breakfasts ordered, 2 came out and had to wait 5 minutes for the 3rd.

The coziness at night in the Raven cafe is the best. There are often times live music and trivia night which makes for a lovely community atmosphere. A nice, hot latte and soft music while watching the snow fall outside is my favorite kind of day at the Raven Cafe.

I was in Prescott over the weekend working. I met up with a family member also staying in town for the month of June. She recommended we try out Raven Cafe for breakfast on Saturday. I am so glad she did! This cafe is located in the downtown Prescott area near the main square & whiskey row but off to the side, down Cortez. As I walked by I noticed how cool the exterior of the building is. I like the old brick and wood. Since this place is not on Gurley St itself I think it's tucked away enough and you have to be looking for it. There was no line and it was a very relaxed atmosphere for a Saturday morning. We ordered at the counter from very friendly staff and decided to check out the upstairs patio since I wanted to be outside in the cooler temps. After all, if when leaving the valley to beat the heat, it's awesome when it's at least 20 degrees cooler! I ordered the breakfast sandwich and my aunt had the huevos rancheros. Both meals were delicious and nice size portions. Usually I would have ordered a coffee since they are a cafe and I love coffee, but I am cutting back on it temporarily for the moment. And they also have wine and beer but same, I'm on a break for my liver ;) This place was so good I went again on Sunday for brunch with my coworkers. We sat on the rooftop patio and this time I had the breakfast burger. So good!! 2 days in a row and both times I experienced friendly staff, quick service, no lines or waits (which I appreciate) and a really great place to eat and chat for a while. This place has a happy hour M-F 3-6 and hosts events trivia, movie night, and live music. That all sounds fun as well. Great spot in downtown Prescott. I'll be back next time I'm in town.

Wonderful place to sit and write some yelp reviews on a rainy day. Great food and coffee, enough said. Good vibes

We walked into Raven not knowing what to expect, other than good yelp reviews. Once again, Yelp saved the day. Great service, and good food! I had a great Reuben sandwich. The fries were perfect. My wife's hamburger was exactly medium rare. And apparently delicious. If we lived in Prescott, we'd be regulars.

The 2 stars are for the dish, salmon. I craves salmon today and stopped at raven, it is one of our favorite stops in Prescott. I've had other dishes here, burgers. Salads, nachos, all good, and would return, but the salmon not ever ordering again. As pictured the piece of salmons very small, not tasty very dry. The wild rice drowned in sauce, not eatable, the veggies did not taste fresh. Not a meal they deserving almost $30.

This is always a must-stop for me when I am in Prescott. I love the ambience, the pleasant wait staff, and the views from the top. A love the artsy feel of it, and the artwork on the walls. The prickly pear cider was awesome. I love this place!

This was a cute little cafe located a little outside of the Courthouse Square. I got an iced cold brew and a chocolate croissant, but the services much more than this. I would like to come back in and try more next time I am in the area. Service was also good.

The Raven Cafe is one of the few places I wish I could give more than five stars. The cafe is welcoming, they host an awesome variety of events, and the food was some of the best in Prescott. They host trivia, live music, and movie nights which I would love to check out. We stopped by for brunch and really enjoyed their biscuits and gravy as well as their lemon berry french toast, the perfect balance of salt and sweet! Their portions were generous and food was flavorful and came out quickly. They had a selections of beer, wine, and NA options. Would highly recommend The Raven Cafe!

What a find! If I lived in Prescott, I would eat here all the time. Order at the bar in the open to the rafters front restaurant area. The interior is so inviting, with well spaced tables. I loved my beet salad. You have your choice of proteins, and there are so many yummy sounding entrees that I had a hard time trying to decide. My friend had the plantains, black beans and cabbage. Our orders arrived quickly and were so flavorful and delicious. Beer and wine is available. Live music on weekends.

My husband had the pancakes which were presented really nicely and were some of the best tasting pancakes my husband has had. I had the breakfast sandwich with avocado and fruit for my side and it was wonderful. The coffee is very good and the cappuccino was excellent. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Very cute place.

Small cafe just off the square. Upstairs, they have a lovely patio with lots of potted plants and a good view of the mountains. The food is delicious and worth the wait. We went on a busy Saturday afternoon, and the place was hopping. The hummus was to die for and the veggie burger was just as delicious. You order at the counter, and they bring the food to you. This is a great spot if you're looking for a lighter/healthier option. In the evening, they typically have live music, which has always been great to enjoy each time we've visited.

This establishment is roomy, the music was jazzy at a volume you can have a conversation, the food is beautifully presented, and taste delicious. It really isn't easy to find a place with such great food at affordable prices.

This restaurant is a local favorite. It's casual dining. You order your food and it gets delivered to your table. Food is fresh and appetizing. The atmosphere is loud and lively. Monday night is trivia night. Some serious regulars come to play. The fish taco was good and the hamburger on a gluten free bun was tasty. The salad was very large.

Food was yummy. Service is organized because you order when you walk in. The place was fun and inviting. The band was playing Jazz music live and it was GREAT! Our group enjoyed the food and place. We will visit again.

Ah yes, the food was great, the ambiance, as was the wine. The BLT and soup I ordered. It was perfect and better than anything I have ever made. GO THERE, you will become very very happy! Douglas

Great vibe going on here ... cool art, excellent music and great food and drinks. The service is prompt and the servers are friendly and helpful. Get cozy inside or enjoy some fresh air upstairs outside amongst the glimmering mosaic.

Our family visited the Raven Cafe multiple times while we visiting Prescott. We loved the food, the freshly brewed teas, and the historic building/location.

Food was good, both times we've been here. This time, the Raven Burger was a fun concept and I would order it again. That said, I would have the onion straws or pepper jelly (or both) put on the side to keep the onion straws crispy. And, even though I would order it again, it's misleadingly mild; none of the pepper jack cheese, pepper jelly or jalapeño had ANY heat whatsoever. The fries were pretty close to awful. The Thai tacos were pleasant and unique, but could they find smaller tortillas?? (Seriously, they might have been 3" diameter!) Good beer selections. Trivia costs $3 each to play but you get 15% off the bill. Would far prefer table service but ordering at the counter is not a deal breaker. Very much respect the commitment to ethical food (organic, GF/DF/vegan options)!

Was a good place to grab something when in town. Really happy with this cafe and will be back. Very busy place on the weekend. Cool hipster kinda vibe

Found this amazing cafe while working in Prescott. The ambiance is a cosy little establishment with a coffee and bar area and plenty of seating to either work or relax with friends. It was extremely rainy so I ordered some coffee and their namesake burger the Raven. I grabbed a seat by the window to watch the rain and had my food with almost no waiting. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. The burger was amazing! I almost couldn't finish it but would have been a food crime to leave anything left over. The coffee was not too sweet and could tell the barista knew what he was doing with the extraction. This place also has a full bar and a very engaging menu. I will 100% be back when I am in town to try more!

Food is excellent. I so much appreciate having GF/DF options. My family doesn't have food restrictions and they loved my GF pancakes.

Stopped in town for a day trip with some friends and had a great lunch here! We all loved our food and service was friendly and fast. We'll definitely come back!

Excellent. Excellent. One of the best eateries in Prescott. I make it my business to eat here every time I am in town.

Oh my goodness, Raven Cafe is a gem! After doing a seven mile hike around the Goldwater Lake region last Monday, we were famished. Drove further into Prescott than I have ever been before and RC is located in a cute little shopping area (ample parking on the street). You walk in & menus are right there, seat yourself, peruse the menu, then order at the counter. We had just placed our appetizer order when the lights went out (apparently that happens when it's very windy outside). Not knowing if they were going to shut the place down, we debated on staying put or leaving - so glad we stayed. The guy who took our order brought out a small plate of hummus for us to eat while we waited and luckily the lights came back on in under 10 minutes. We placed the rest of our order and dug into our hummus plate. It was dee-lish & was devoured quickly. Then our meals came. Holy Moses it was a lot of food. The burger was humongous, the lemon chicken pita was buried under goodies, sweet potato fries were scrumptious, and although the Thai chicken tacos burned my sister's mouth & lips she still ate them (too good not to!). They had a chocolate bread pudding that sounded really good but we passed on ordering that and now I'm kicking myself. The iced chai I ordered was honestly one of the best I have had in my life. Creamy goodness in a glass. Raven is larger than it looks on the outside. Bathrooms are way back in a long hallway, they have bands there apparently, and they are a green restaurant which is fantastic. Compostable straws and take-home containers. It was a bit pricier than what I was expecting a cafe to be, but well worth the money. Friendly staff, too.

I ordered take out and it was ready within 15 minutes. They also waited to make my hot cider until I got there so it would stay hot. The beet salad with chicken was delicious! My favorite part was the beet hummus. The chicken was a bit over cooked but the highlight was the hummus.

Really on organized and poorly operated. Took 15 min to place order at counter and only one couple in front of us. Then took 30 min to get food and they forgot one of the meals for our party so we all watched him eat. Food was underwhelming. We had read reviews but came anyway because all the other places in town had long waits. We won't be back.

A great place to get breakfast or lunch! Always great service. A great roof patio to enjoy beautiful weather from and even some cool live music. Had an acoustic artist inside when we got breakfast & it was a great vibe!

Always great and thoughtfully curated food, boozy beverage selection, coffee, tea! I go all the time when I'm in town.

The raven cafe is one of the best places I have ever had the chance to stop in and enjoy a Ruben. The menu is amazing.The different selections of tea alone are worth the visit.The staff is super friendly.I would highly highly recommend stopping in and trying the Raven cafe

Amazing little cafe right near whiskey row, fantastic food and great selection of drinks including tea, wine and beer. The have trivia, movie and music nights and games to play to pass time. Quick service but food is made to order and delivered quick. Can't say enough good things about the lemon checked pita

We were warned ahead of time that might take a while to get our lunch and it did but the time passed quickly in this cute and quirky restaurant. My daughter and I had lovely salads -- hers with beets mine topped with mahi-mahi. My husband had a fantastic burger that was topped with bacon and an egg! we really enjoyed the historic building and friendly atmosphere of this restaurant

Fun and casual little restaurant. There was live music playing when we went. The veggie burger was delicious! Will definitely be back for another one of those. I tried some of my husband's sunshine bowl. A little too spicy for me but it was so good I just suffered through the spicy and ate a bit of it anyways. I don't really drink much but they have a large drink selection and my husband got the sangria. Wish it had some fruit in it because thats the part of the drink I usually steal from him. Overall, it was a great restaurant experience and we will be back!

Food was very good and so was the service. The person taking our order was very helpful with our dietary requirements.

I like the name of this place. One of my favorite spots to chill. The roof is fun and their Caprese Pizza is amazing
