Holiday specials at The Raven ‍

Beautiful coffee shop. We come here when we're in town visiting after going to St Stephen's Episcopal church for Sunday service. We're greeted by the friendly staff, they do great taking our orders, they deliver the food to the tables when we're sitting to eat. We usually get a pastry (something sweet) and a savory breakfast sandwich for savory - all are delicious. Highly recommend for anyone coming into town!

Very quite coffee, cafe/bar. Very unique setup and very down home. Love this place and wish it was closer to me and I would visit more often. Walkup order for food and they bring it to you. Highly recommend!

breakfast sandwich, latte

Cute little cafe located in the heart of downtown Culpeper with some of the friendliest staff, coziest vibes, and largest scones I've ever seen. I stopped by Raven's Nest while on my way back to DC from a hiking trip in Shenandoah, and I was in desperate need of a cozy spot to read and fuel up on calories and caffeine before continuing my drive into the city. After seeing Raven's Nest on a few Shenandoah visitor's guides, I figured I might as well poke my head in. The barista was incredibly friendly and greeted me warmly, walked me through the menu / was super ready to answer any questions, and had the most calming, podcast-like voice. I ended up grabbing a breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, and tomato on an English muffin, as well as a latte and earl grey scone. I really enjoyed how cozy the vibes were, with the natural light flooding the entire space and the comfy couches / armchairs. I was a little bit less impressed by the food and drink, but it still hit the spot after a long week of trekking through the wilderness. The breakfast sandwich was solid and warm, but honestly not anything particularly fancy and not super worth the price (~$13). The latte was quite strong and definitely satisfied by caffeine craving, but it wasn't particularly flavorful. And finally, the scone, while massive (it was double the size of the breakfast sandwich), was a little bit too dry and sweet, and it didn't have a ton of earl grey flavor.

Sweet little coffee shop! Ordered a large soy latte and oat latte and some vegan treats. Delicious. Nice staff.

Quiche of the day and latte flight.

AMAZING! Service, food, coffee, AND cocktails. We went for the valentines latte flight. Great flavors and beautiful presentation. With the daily quiche... YUM. We then returned for before dinner cocktails! The cocktails were well designed, tasted great, and the vibe completely changed to a fun drink spot.

Iced Latte

Cute cafe on the way to Charlottesville! On a Saturday morning the place was packed! We got two lattes, croissants, and a vegan donut. The lattes were real strong and needed more flavor. The croissant was warmed up and good, but although we can not complain, the vegan donut was like dough. We would love to give this place a second chance if nearby!

A super cute Cafe. There's some street parking around and we didn't have any issues finding a spot at all on a Sunday morning. The staff is really nice and they have a bunch of flavors and sugar flavors. Their Pastries all looked delicious but we opted for the Cranberry Biscotti which we dipped in our lattes. They also have Gluten Free Pastries! Their menu also includes breakfast foods and some other sandwiches. Wine beer and cocktails too. It's really cute inside and the s'mores latte was delicious. Definitely recommend coming here. Not too many seats but really cozy.

We found this beautiful coffee shop located in downtown Culpeper VA on a Saturday morning to grab some latte and it was an amazing experience. On the pictures it might look like a restaurant, but it's a coffee shop. The staff was very friendly and rapid. Overall, coffee and food are really good. We really enjoyed it :)

Coffee Stop No. 326 (February 3, 2024) Spread a little happiness! Raven's Nest Coffee House is definitely a place you don't want to miss when you're in Culpeper, VA. They spread happiness in all sorts of ways. I barely know where to start. The cortado's temperature was bit hot, but it didn't completely affect the taste which means their coffee bean is pretty awesome. Speaking of their coffee bean, Raven's Nest roasts their own beans. There are a variety of different bags for purchase at the front of the coffee house. You can't miss them because the bags are artsy, colorful, attractive and unique. The best part is they are for sale! Raven's Nest aesthetics complements the Downtown of Culpeper, which is a historic town dating back to 1759. Vintage metal chairs, a brick storefront, a tin ceiling and plenty of indoor seating add to the charm of the coffeehouse. Besides cortados, stickers and postcards are some of my favorite things and Raven's Nest had both for purchase! The first picture of this post is their postcard. I couldn't help it. I bought several and sent them out to friends. Be sure to stop in at Raven's Nest Coffee House the next time you are strolling the streets of Culpeper, VA. 674 more coffee shops until I reach my goal of 1,000 coffee shops!

Medium Chai Tea Latte

The name "Ravens Nest" in itself is such a cute name for a coffee shop, and when I visited I wasn't let down. Inside is super cute but not very study friendly unless you have headphones. Sorry everyone, yes I'm "That" person who tries to study at coffee shops during peek hours. (Don't Judge Me! ) When I looked up from my computer most people were chatting about. The vibe and energy inside was great. Definitely a community place. If you like a cafe that's for locals, this is your place. Also very kid friendly. So bring the kiddos. I ordered a Chai Tea Latte w/oat milk and it was Okay. They have a variety of milk/non dairy options which is nice for vegans. I'd visit again! The vibe was great.

We stopped in for a light breakfast and coffee and hung out for a bit until the rain slowed. Service was fast and friendly, they even bright our food out to us which was not expected but very nice. Two of us got a breakfast sandwich, another quiche of the day, another an almond apple muffin. Everyone liked their food. The coffee was just ok. The London fog latte was good, the mocha was ok, the plain black was very weak and not dark like it was supposed to be and the maple coffee was ok as well. The coffee was sadly mediocre but the vibe of the coffee house was great. Good seating, good decor. A lot of people from the Amtrak coming and going, a definite hot spot. It's worth a visit.

Adorable coffee shop. Tasty beverage, made well in a charming, friendly atmosphere. If ever I return to the area (for work) Raven's Nest will be my go-to coffee stop.

So we got off U.S. 29 at one of the Culpeper exits and lo and behold - Culpeper has a Starbucks! Color me surprised - I was not expecting to see that! So we piled on in and ordered our drinks - the girl behind the counter was having a ho-hum sort of day, so I got her revved up and laughing a bit - she went from "I'm having an ok day," to "I'm good!" I ordered an iced triple shot grande sugar free vanilla latte. The Starbucks here has T-mobile wireless internet access, plenty of comfy chairs, lots of tables, would be a nice Sbux to hang in. They also have a Drive-Thru. I made sure as we exited we told her goodbye, gave her a nice smile and wished her well! I guzzled my drink before we even made it back onto U.S. 29!

She calls me gets rude when I go to trying to explain to her she cuts me off tells me that the situation that happened has nothing to do with her. She doesn't want to get involved hangs up then my sister calls her back for her to get rude and sit and call my sister the f... b word and a f...... idiot then tells her that we're harassing her even though she called me and hangs up please don't give this woman no business because she is a miserable woman. She does not deserve that store and I feel bad for 7-Eleven for having their name on that store she's giving a bad rep to 7-Eleven and they definitely need to take that store from her. Honestly my sister has called the franchise corporation and we will be telling them what she did do not give her business Honestly, she does not deserve it. I wish I could give her no stars but Yelp is forcing me to put one
