This place is super cute and is a great stop for those who are driving and need a jolt of caffeine and a bathroom. Fellow Yelpers - this place has 10% off your purchase with a check-in I went twice in the span of two hours and got the large iced latte (~$3) which came with coffee ice cubes that you don't have to pay extra for (unlike Starbucks)! I noticed they had a very large sign with the most flavors I've ever seen that you can put in your coffee. It tasted good and the staff was very friendly. Wish I would have gotten the tasty treats that they had... read more

I really enjoy this place! The coffee is almost Starbucks/DC priced but it is really good and the 'boozy' coffees are pretty expensive for a small town but worth it every now and then. My goto is just their brewed coffee since I'm not quite as in love with the mocha lines as I am at other places but the brew is a fine cup a joe. read more

Drove off the highway on a road trip to stop for hole in the wall coffee that was perceived to be good by its patrons. This establishment boasts a wide array of interesting coffee flavorings, so we decided to try two uncommon flavored lattes, one of which was even labeled a "local favorite." We tried the gingerbread latte and nutty Irishmen, two incredibly different flavor profiles, and yet I couldn't determine which drink was meant to match which flavor. One of the drinks (couldn't tell you which flavor) actually tasted rancid, and wound up in the trash after a mere two sips, soon to be joined by the second watered down, yet burnt, latte. If you're looking for a simple cup of coffee, this might be the place for you, but if you want anything beyond that, I'd recommend going elsewhere. read more

I am rating only the food, and it was okay but not worth a return visit. We had a breakfast sandwich, two muffins, a scone, and a cupcake. The sandwich was two plain slices of bread (the old-fashioned sandwich slices that come in a long rectangular plastic bag) with a pre-made egg patty and ham-- nothing else. I did enjoy the blueberry-flax muffin. The cranberry muffin was decent. To me, the scone had an artificial feel to it (including the pink color), although my husband liked it. My husband did not enjoy the cupcake but I thought it was okay. read more

I'm from out of town, traveling through, i stop here because it looks cute and really good reviews... the owner must pay for these reviews. I got DONE with my coffee just to open and see parts of a dead cockroach!!! I'm in disgust!! I called to tell them and the owner just laughed!! Didn't help in any way... " you should've noticed before you finished the whole thing"... I'm calling the health department on this one. If i could sue, you bet I would. They don't deserve to be open, also heard the owner yelling at an employee in a very uncomfortable way when i was there. Bad Bad person, do not give your money to these people.

We've never visited Culpeper in anything but COVIDtimes and I wish we had (or will) because I can imagine Raven's Nest to be a perfect coffee spot. We ordered to-go a couple of times and it's pretty good. For my taste, their regular beans are too darkly roasted but I can see how many would love it. The place itself is typical of Davis Street -- cutely decorated with a mix of menu staples and fancy made up whimsy. Overall a solid coffee shop that's worth lingering in...once the world returns to normal. read more

I was very disappointed with the Frozen Hot Chocolate, after having read a prior rave review of it and having gone out of my way while walking in the heat to try it. It was a runny, soupy, unfrozen, not particularly chocolately concoction with a slightly powdery taste. It definitely was not worth the premium I paid for it. I love the shop itself, the two-star rating is for the Frozen Hot Chocolate. The shop is comfortable, with a relaxed, mellow vibe and a great song list playing. I was here last summer and I'll probably return (I have friends living nearby) but I'll be ordering a more pedestrian tea or coffee, not the overpriced not-really-frozen hot chocolate. read more

In fact, I asked my son what his favorite thing was on our trip in this area, and it was this spot, where they had a fun game of hiding candy canes for the kids to find. We stopped in for lunch and the meal was fantastic. We ordered off the specials menu with the grilled cheese with bacon jam, a bowl of tomato soup and the naan pizza. The grilled cheese was perfectly balanced with salt and savory. And the tomato soup was a delicious pairing. The coffee was hot and tasty. In fact, I came back here several times during our visit to Madison. The biggest hit of all though was the giant chalkboard in the back. Our kids just loved drawing on it as they waited for lunch to arrive. It's such a wonderful spot. We are excited to come back!

My sister and I got vanilla lattes (hers half sweet and mine with an extra shot). We also decided on a pastry. I got the blueberry muffin which was packed with fresh blueberries. She got the churro croissant. I wish we asked to have them warmed. That would've made them even better. Anyways, we enjoyed this pit stop and I'm going to try to find this place again, even if the service in the area isn't the best!

My go to (which was also to go) was a cappucino with a single shot of espresso. The single shot sometimes throws people off as most US made cappuccinos are made with 2 shots (and baristas often scratch their heads at me wondering what to do with the extra shot!) The barista at Curitiba was friendly and accommodating - and made the perfect cappuccino - with just the right amount of diesel without the bitterness (that is symptomatic of a strong coffee). Would definitely recommend this place - and I'll be back!
