I'm a seasonal local. Every summer I take a much needed longggg break from Miami Beach and I do my country living. I've been visiting Raven's Nest for years and always look forward to good strong coffee and some people watching out front. Staff are always super friendly and helpful. I will say that I would have loved for avocado to be used for the toast (I believe spread is used)...still I really dig the spot. I look forward to my visits! read more

Raven's Nest is a must when visiting downtown Culpeper. The staff are always so welcoming and kind. I always get an iced summer chai and let me tell you.. it's heavenly. Highly recommend! read more

Cute coffee shop in downtown. Busier than I expected, service was quick and friendly. Food options were limited, coffee was good. Loved the frozen coffee ice cubes. read more

A super cute coffee shop/small bar right in downtown Culpepper. Me and my sister wanted to grab a coffee after eating lunch on a roadtrip and this was the perfect place. We both got iced coffees which is our go to. The iced coffee was super smooth and yet I could tell the beans were roasted well. The shop had a variety of hot and cold lattes, teas, and smoothies on the menu but I was super impressed to see cocktails and a few beer taps as well. There were also some tasty looking baked goods behind the counter. If you give this place a try don't forget to check in on Yelp for 10% off! read more

Raven's Nest - Iced coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Culpeper, Virginia

Excellent coffee and smoked salmon bagel. Nice ambiance. I come here every time I'm in Culpeper.

Visited the area with a friend group for a weekend getaway and decided to stop by here before our road trip home and I'm so glad we did! Small, homey space with natural lighting and lots of plants. Very welcoming to see individuals inside working on their art or computer. I had a regular caramel latte and tried the bread pudding. SOOOO YUMMY. It was an oatmeal and chocolate bread pudding, nothing I've never had, but absolutely delicious. Very heavy portion, too. Would highly recommend anyone in the area to stop by. read more

Friendly service, very good coffee, indoor and outdoor sitting, selection of gluten free pastries ( brownie was good, apple donut not so much) read more

I didn't think I would find a high quality coffee shop while visiting Culpeper, but I'm so glad Raven's Nest provided the perfect option! I came in on a rainy weeknight. Street parking only, but I got lucky with a spot right in front of the building. I was working on a creative project so I figured--what the heck, let's get a beer. I was glad to see they had a small but unique draft selection to include cold brew and kombucha! Everything was east coast but I don't think anything was particularly local. I wished they had a small menu to look at but the lady helping me read the options. I chose a prickly pear beer which was super tasty. They have ample seating and strong WiFi. The atmosphere reminded me of my favorite coffee shop from living in Colorado, which made it feel like home immediately. If I had been in town longer, I definitely would've made multiple visits. read more

Staff was very nice and while their espresso machine was down they still came up with a delicious drink for this tired Californian. Will Come back before heading home. Thanks so much! read more

Came here for breakfast. A variety of breakfast bagels and croissants and coffees and more. I ordered a croissant sandwich with bacon egg and cheese. It was decently good. Place has a cool chill vibe. Girls behind the counter were very sweet and polite. They have high counter top seating with bar stools, and a couple of small tables with chairs. Bathroom is clean and fully stocked with Toilet paper, plunger and toilet brush. Have different types of coffee and merchandise you can also purchase. Art pieces and wall art all around. It's a very low key vibe place to come and chillax at. read more

Visited today for the first time with my teen daughter and we had a fabulous time. it is a cozy and beautiful cafe with outstanding customer service. We had avocado toast and sausage sandwich and they were delicious. My hot tea somehow tasted so special and the barista was so kind to bring the tea to my table promptly since I asked her that I don't like to keep my tea bag in the cup for too long. I talked to my daughter about the importance of supporting our local business owners and how wonderful it is to see people taking pride on what they do. Keep up the good work and I hope to visit again. Go Ravens Nest!!! read more

I was here for the first time today with my boyfriend after he recommended it! We both did work for an hour or so while sipping on our lattes, which were amazing with the perfect strength and a nice balance of sweetness. The service we received was exceptional and the interior design of the coffee house was very comforting and welcoming. As a person with a lot of social anxiety, I often restrain myself from going out to do work or going into new places. Coming here made me so happy to let myself face my fears, and it was really rewarding to have such a sweet first experience. I look forward to coming back here in the future and think it could be one of my favorite downtown places! I'm new in the area and the staff here made everything seem a little more homely and familiar. My one hope is that in the future there are more vegan options in regards to their baked goods. I'm vegan and would love to be able to get a coffee along with a bagel with vegan butter or a small muffin! There aren't many vegan options in Culpeper at all, so if this place offered one it would be a definite hit! read more

This little coffee shop has great service. The people there are extremely friendly and helpful. They have wonderful hot chocolate and lattes. The pastry was good, but not great. It is a very interesting and funky place that is worth taking the time to visit. read more

Great spot! We've been looking for good coffee in the area, and finally found it today. Their iced coffee comes with coffee ice cubes, so as it melts it extends the life of your coffee. :) We enjoyed it, and will be back. read more

I really like stopping into Raven's Nest when I'm downtown. It's such a quaint cafe and there's plenty of space for people to sit and enjoy their coffee alone or with a group. It's also nice to pop in for coffee and keep walking and shopping downtown. The staff is also super nice. It's definitely worth a drop in! read more

What a wonderful place to stop, relax, and enjoy your favorite coffee beverage. Stopped here and grabbed an iced coffee during a road trip back from Shenandoah. The iced coffee was smooth and had notes of cocoa which I very much enjoyed! There were some tasty looking cakes and other treats on the counter if you wanted a snack to go with your beverage. They even had some wine options and other beverages for non coffee drinkers. Check in on Yelp for 10 percent off! read more

Really adorable place in downtown Culpeper. I have nothing bad to say about food, coffee, or general ambiance. It was the woman at the counter who waited on me that put a bad taste in my mouth... I asked if it was possible to get a hot chocolate with a shot of espresso in it and she looked at me like I was a complete idiot and said "that would be a mocha latte..." instead of just just kindly saying "no problem" and making me the mocha latte without making me feel stupid. Would recommend this place, but I guess just make sure you know your coffee names well before ordering... read more

This place is so cute, what a little neighborhood gem. The women working here were making items in their little kitchenette in back and selling them upfront. We only care here for tea and coffee but after stepping inside I could see that was a big mistake. Fresh quiche coming out of the oven, homemade pastries. My boyfriend had a coffee, it wasn't the best he's ever had but it was ok. I had one of their many high quality teas which was delicious, they even kept topping off my hot water. This place has a family feel like you're going to get food and drinks from one of your family members. If we are in the area we will come here again, I would like to try their baked goods next time. There is plenty of seating inside and street parking is pretty easy. read more

We visited for some desperately needed caffeine before a 2 hour drive down to South of Charlottesville. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out where the coffee shop was - as the last time I visited in 2013 - the coffee shop was on the opposite side of the street. Its since moved across the street. The place was very busy and there was a good line to order coffee. The one thing I will ding them on is how long it took to take each person's order. When I got up to the register, I ordered a large iced coffee with room for cream. Checking in on Yelp gave me 10% off my coffee order. I asked if they accepted Apple Pay. They currently do not. My coffee was strong and delicious. Lots of places to sit inside and work! read more

Had the Italian (red eye) and a smoked salmon bagel. Oh man, this place is incredible! The guys at the plant bragged about it--and if some tough guys think this place is a gem then it's worth checking out. Incredibly impressed. Looking forward to stopping in again! read more

This was my first time here as my original plan for brunch fell thru, however it wasn't bad. The barista was very helpful and energetic. He was knowledgeable about the coffees and able to give suggestions. I had an iced non-fat harvest latte with chicken gumbo and a croissant. The soup was a little wattery for my taste but not bad. I did find that this place was a little more expensive than what I typically hope to pay at a coffee shop though. read more

Took a day drive from Fairfax out to culpeper just to give myself an excuse to get out. We had been told by family friends how lovely Raven's Nest was and that they were known for their irish coffee so we ordered 2. Both irish coffee's were great! They had an assortment of pastries, but I was too full from breakfast. Definitely a cute little coffee shop that seems to be frequented by alot of locals and outsiders. read more

This would have been a 5 star review except for my experience today. I started going to Raven's Nest because they were open when their local competitors were not during the pandemic. I always received friendly and fast service and the place has a great atmosphere. Today, the staff was very friendly. However, they gave me hot coffee instead of iced coffee. I didn't say anything. I figured I'd give it a try. I let the coffee cool an hour in my cars cup holder. Their hot cups start falling apart after an hour. I ended up with coffee all over me, my wife and the inside of my car. In summary, they didn't give me what I ordered and they made a sticky mess all over my car. Once the l quarantine restrictions are lifted and business returns to normal i likely won't go back to Raven's Nest since their main competition in town always gives me what I order and I don't have to clean up a mess after doing business with them. read more

Looking for great coffee? Great atmosphere? Great people? Well- look no more! Raven's Nest is THE place in Culpeper for robust coffee, scrumptious morsels, and friendly chit chat. The proprietor is both sweet and sassy as she infuses a healthy amount of wit into each serving.

My new FAVORITE place. Loved the smell, decor and Owner. Just PERFECT in every way. I will go back and tell others not to miss this great little coffee & super good treats. Update: Dec. 30, 2019 Had quiche. That is why we went. Sorry to say, recently both times we visited & ordered Quiche it was overcooked. First time I thought maybe they were extra busy and lost tract of time. When it was served today same as last...overcooked. Cheese on top was hard and chewy. Still love this quaint little coffee house. They nailed the Pastry. My husband & daughter Said "GOOD." They have the sweets down pat. Still a favorite. Here's hoping they will get the Quiche right. read more

Such an inviting place .Great coffee pastries and Sammie's. Loved that hubby and I could grab a beer or coffee and pastries after strolling around. Grab some dark roast for home and they ground it for me which was so nice. read more

My faaaaaaavorite place to meet friends, get some work done, and enjoy delicious coffee and food in a chill, calm atmosphere! Love that they have vegan and gluten-free options for both sweet and savory moods. Love that I'm always met with a smile and a cheerful greeting by every staff member. Love that there is something for everyone, from sugar high speciality drinks to a Bloody Mary bar to strong, quality drip and espresso beverages. Love that I can hang out and do work / have meetings in peace - the music is always low key and at a comfortable volume. There are plenty of seating options from couches to tables to outside (with umbrellas - and the WiFi signal reaches outside)! Plus, you can browse merch from local vendors up front. I send all my out of town friends here because it's really the only quality spot for miles. Keep it up guys, this place is awesome!! read more

We were in town for a wedding and ended up here both mornings. We are self admittedly coffee snobs so anytime we can try somewhere new that isn't a chain we are ecstatic. The coffee was great. I love the multitude of extras to add to your drink. I tried the cold brew one morning and was pleasantly surprised at how smooth it was. We are sober so we didn't try any of the alcoholic drinks/specials but they seemed the be very popular. My husband had a breakfast sandwich and said it was very good. I had the avocado toast and it was actually plenty for 2 people and very fresh tasting. The little shop set up at the front is super cute. We will definitely be here again next time we are in town! read more

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

Awesome coffee and goodies! Sweet little coffee shop indoor and outdoor seating! Stop by and get a coffee!
