Raven Cafe’s cuisine is a delightful fusion of American comfort with a healthy twist that appeals to all palates. From the moment you settle in, you’ll be drawn to signature dishes like the Raven Burger—a juicy, flavorful centerpiece that balances savory richness with fresh, crisp textures. Breakfast enthusiasts rave about the Tiramisu French Toast and the hearty Breakfast Burrito, while lighter fare such as the Beet Salad and Gluten Free Pancakes offer fresh, vibrant alternatives for those seeking wellness without sacrificing taste.

The menu’s diversity truly shines with options like the Cauli-Fritas Tacos, a delicious gluten-free and vegan-friendly choice that bursts with bold flavors, and the succulent Lamb Burger, which stands out with its perfectly balanced seasoning and juicy bite.

Don’t miss the Hot Pastrami Rueben or the Duck Wings—both offer rich, savory experiences that elevate classic pub fare into something extraordinary. To top it all off, their ice-cream sandwiches add a nostalgic, sweet finish to your meal.

The café also caters exceptionally well to dietary preferences, with a diverse range of gluten-free and vegan options that feel thoughtful rather than an afterthought—a quality that impressed many visitors like Carrie Tinsler, who praised the prominently displayed gluten-free cookies and the generous portion sizes.

The atmosphere at Raven Cafe complements its culinary delights perfectly. It embraces a laid-back, welcoming vibe fused with subtle 1980s aesthetic touches that create a fun, almost retro ambiance.

    Fantastic lunch! This is a neighborhood favorite. Fun and relaxed vibe. I loved the artwork. You order at the counter. Fries were to die for!

    Such a fun atmosphere! Great portion sizes and so many gluten free and dairy free options. It was so nice to have a cookie that was gluten free be prominently displayed and not like the red headed gluten free step child. Everything was delicious and generous portion sizes. Would highly recommend!

    The vibe and the environment was so 1980s aesthetic and the customer service was awesome. The food was super delicious. The only thing I would recommend is they only have tea, coffee, and liquor and beer so if you’re looking for a carbonated drink, you may have to bring your own other than that. This restaurant was five star and the food was delicious. The nice thing too since it’s not American style restaurant you grab a menu and pay for your order in advance, and then your food comes out right after.

    I was so happy that after 7 years the beet salad was still on the menu! W/o the feta it’s vegan! The vegan tacos were amazing and their coffee is phenomenal! So worth the trip back!

    Raven Cafe has long been one of our favorite go-to places for a casual bite downtown. We love the rooftop bar and the atmosphere generally. And the food quality was always very good. Lately, they've taken some items off the menu and at the same time, quality seems to have slipped. I'm not ready to give up on it, but I'm hoping our last experiences were flukes.

    Nice breakfast. Not large menu. Food was good. Nothing spectacular. Most breakfast Basics available and many coffee / latte options
