Description: The Raven Cafe is a not-to-be-missed dining experience. Dining is at your leisure. You order at the counter and your meal is brought to you. Thick wood tables an chairs in front of the window, under the ravine or upstairs are available. Very near to the door are couch type dining for people with young children and there are toys for them as well.
The people dining here primarily seemed to be locals, but what I found interesting was that they were from all walks of life. There was sweet looking older couple, the young gal with dread locks, the couple with young children, a man in a business suit and still others in shorts and sandals.
A variety of coffee drinks and organic food was on the menu. Juices included apricot and sauces freshly made from tomatillos. This was not a vegetarian restaurant. In fact, items on the menu were asterisked to indicate if it was vegetarian, vegan, gluten free or a combination of therein.
We stopped in for breakfast before hiking where I had egg, cheese and tomato on a muffin and my sister had an omelet with veggies and topped with avocado. She raved about the veggies had been cooked separately so that she would have runny egg parts. We returned for dinner that night and lunch the next day. We enjoyed tofu items, chicken items, salads and even desert. Daily specials included items like gazpacho and tortilla soups, quiche and exotic desserts.
In the evening around 8pm entertainment from local musicians begin. The art which was a fascinating mix of whimsical characters out of proportion, butterflies and Buddha were also from a local artist. Above our heads hung a deconstructed raven that captured my focus for long periods of time each time we ate their. I simply couldn’t get enough of the art and I’m not a fan of art.
With all that there was to take in and my sister for company, I really appreciated the relaxed atmosphere.
