Cute little local place! My husband is a vegetarian so the variety of salads is great.

I have been waiting for a sandwich for over one hour. There has been one sandwich served during this time. I can't speak for the food quality because i haven't received it. i have now been waiting 70 minutes. one other customer list received an order. read more

Obv a small business in the middle of nowhere. I was told at the front desk that they didn't accept mobile payments, but they did indeed. 1/3 meals I ordered was completely forgotten about. The main room has a lot of activities for kids and you can look at plains - but I'll never be returning. Experience had. read more

Raven's Nest - Soft butter for sweet bread - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tehachapi, California

We have driven past the glider airport many times, and each time we say that we need to stop, check out the planes and have a bite to eat. Today we did! The food is simple but my husband and I were both pleased with our breakfasts. The service was very good and friendly. It's a very simple place with wooden tables and a counter to order at, but it's fun to watch the fliers land and take off. Best part: delicious homemade breads! read more

Best kept brunch secret in the Tehachapi area! Their food is great! Servers are so sweet!! Please remember to tip!! --- Everything is very fresh and they serve huge portions!

Amazing!! A must try when in the area. Their homemade chili is my husband's favorite and I truly love their homemade sweet breads. I always take a loaf home with me. Yummy breakfast burritos or sandwich and a salad hidden gem read more

Ravens nest is a nice little Cafe attached to the glider port. Serving many food choices like handmade sandwiches, soups and salads. Definitely try the homemade chili with choice of bread which is made daily in house by the guy that took our order and made the food. I will be back again since I am a local resident. read more

Food and service is good, location is fun. Always nice to eat lunch while watching the gliders and planes launch and land.

On the road for a great sandwich with sourdough bread landed here on a breezy Saturday afternoon and glad to drive out to this small town airport at the end of town. Saw young adults learn to pilot a wind glider as I sat outside drinking scrumptious homemade New England white cream calm chowder with potatoes, carrots and calms. Followed by a large sandwich loaded high with Meats, cheeses and veggies. Very well made and great customer service. We will definitely be back Kudos! Jane at the airport counter was amazing - M*A*S*H style ambiance!! read more

Cute little place. I highly recommend you come 8n spring or winter as there is NO Air conditioner it is very warm in her today!!! I feel bad for the employees suffering in the heat masked. Terrible! The menu looks pretty good with the largest part being breakfast. I order A salad and half sandwich. I loooove all the airplane history and memorabilia all over the walls. Our order was taken and delivered quickly. Delicious RANCH!!! You know I love my ranch yall. The bread ...mmmmm my veggie sandwich was sooo good! Many goodies made from scratch! The crew here is so nice and this location has so .uch history!!! Fanily owned, here since the 70's! This location screams Tehachapi. Small, home town feel. I can't wait to come back on a cooler day with the family! read more

Raven's Nest - Exterior - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tehachapi, California

We loved this quaint little gem quite literally located on a tarmac. It was a great place to pull up a bench seat and settle into the slow and steady small-town vibe while eating a delicious cold sandwich and watching the air glider planes take off. I recommend calling and asking what the flight schedule is before coming in, if you're hoping to guarantee seeing a glider take off or land. We saw one or two during our time, was really fun to watch! The food was good and people were friendly. They had gluten free sandwich bread, as well. read more

Great place to have sandwiches nice staff too . Family owned restaurant. Would go by there again.

The interior is very pleasing and cozy, and the staff is extremely welcoming and kind. My partner and I were greeted with warm smiles and great service. We ordered a sandwich to share as they aren't shy with stacking ingredients in there. We also ordered 2 slices of bread, lemon and banana bread, and we were given an extra piece that was cut from the end of the loaf. Everything was very tasty and I only regret not taking some baked goods for the road. read more

First time checking this place out, and it was such a cozy, enjoyable place. The staff was so friendly and wonderful, the breakfast burrito with fresh fruit, and the French toast were both excellent. And you can't beat the views! There isn't a lot of seating, but they have outside and indoor seating. Will definitely be back! read more

The best dang spinach salad ever! So very fresh, so delicious & very plentiful. Customer service was awesome too! Hone made breads, soups, chili; made with very fresh ingredients. We will definitely be back! read more

What a nice little sandwich shop! You'd never know it once you arrive because you're literally at a little tiny airport in the middle of nowhere. But once you walk in, you're greeted by friendly people and made feel welcome. Hubby had the ham and Swiss sandwich - you can have it made however you like. I had the chili which was very good. Driving advice: your navigation will probably just take you to what looks like an airplane maintenance hanger. Just drive a little bit further as though you're literally getting onto the runway and then you'll find it on your right. read more

Folks, this place is a little gem you should take time to experience. Tucked here in the mountains is a lovely family business teaching the world's best pilots the fundamentals of flight. Air Force test pilots, NASA astronauts, and a list of aviation trailblazers you wouldn't believe have come here for glider training. The RV Park and Cafe make the entire operation one-of-a-kind. The food is homemade and served as if you are one of the family. Previous negative reviews do not reflect reality of what I experienced here. Seriously, let's wake up and see one another for the gifts we offer the world. This is one of those special gifts. read more

This was such a welcome respite from the typical truck stop food found along the interstate. Traveling from Las Vegas to Paso Robles, we stumbled onto this little gem. A bit off the beaten path, this charming little Cafe at the Mountain Valley Airport in Tehachapi was worth the effort. The sandwiches were all really good, but their baked goods were to DIE for!! And the warmest staff (Vicki and Ashley) made us feel right at home. Do yourself a favor and stop by! read more

Going through Tehachapi looking for something different, preferably a sandwich place, happened upon Ravens Nest in the Maps App, took a chance and ended up at the little airport cafe, saying to ourselves WTF are we? Stumbled up the stairs in a freezing cold gale force wind, opened the door to a homey, warm, delicious smell and a warm welcome. Great sandwich, great friendly service. Nice ambiance and enjoyed the historical pictures gracing the walls. Would definitely recommend! read more

So we are up soaring all day. It's hot. The sun is beating down and we are jobbin outside all day. What you don't want to worry about is lunch. This little small cafe is awesome. It's your typical mom and pop shop that services good food with a smile. For lunch, they had a whole spread of homemade soups and sandwiches. The selection was awesome. Better selection over some sandwich shops. I got the half sandwich and half soup. The baked potato soup was amazing. And the pastrami sandwich was great. This is an awesome spot. Brings back memories of going to the local airport with my grandfather. Sitting around, sipping coffee and hanging with small aircraft pilots. Stop in and have some lunch. Grab some glider time and enjoy the small time banter. read more

Great little place for lunch we had no complaints the chili was awsume as well as the sandwiches very friendly

We were parked at the Rv park by the airstrip so decided to walk over to the airport for breakfast Small & friendly. We ordered the French toast breakfast with scrambled eggs! Both were excellent! Loved that they put ham, cheese & onion in our eggs. As we left I saw a pan of homemade biscuits come out of oven. Looked great! I did think the code was a bit overpriced but will stop in again when we travel this way. read more

What a wonderful surprise to find this cafe at the Skylark North flight school/Mountain Valley Airport in Tehachapi. Very friendly staff (Mike) and food prepared exactly to my custom order. Especially enjoyed the Red/White/Blue salad (and, of course, the homemade cookies)! Will return just for the cafe! read more

Wonderful owner. Clean and friendly. Food was great. The kids really enjoyed seeing the gliders.

Hadn't been to the Raven's Nest, a small cafe at the local glider port in Tehachapi, for quite some time, but a friend suggested that we give it a try for breakfast. We were very pleasantly surprised. I had the French toast and bacon, and my companion had eggs and hash browns. The food was delicious, was attractively presented, and was served fast. Will have to go back to have lunch sometime soon. read more

What a great place for coffee and watching some gliders and local aircraft come and go. Breakfasts are awesome! Exceeded only by the friendly people! Not only a great little gem of a cafe, one of the best small airport restaurants I've enjoyed! read more

One of the best-kept secrets in the area. I love coming here and working from the cafe, looking out on the runway as the planes and gliders go by. They have free wifi and delicious coffee, breads, sandwiches, and fabulous service. If you need to break out of your breakfast or lunch rut, come check it out. You can't beat the view and the friendly folks! read more

Very friendly but the food was awful. I don't know how you mess up French Toast, but it was really bad. The recommendation for the breakfast burrito wasn't a great idea as it wasn't very good either. If this wasn't a to go order I would have immediately sent the whole order back to be recooked. read more

More than you'd expect from this little place. Comes with views of the runways to watch planes and gliders. Walls lined with aerospace history like many establishments in the area. Will second the call for a little extra mayo on the tuna salad sandwich, otherwise tasty and fresh ingredients. Definitely try the Capicola this is a packed little sandwich with great flavor. Very friendly staff and reasonable prices. read more

Raven's Nest - Fantastic cartoon hand drawn on the kids menu board. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tehachapi, California

We were doing an early morning staff event. I called on Friday and found out they don't open until 8am. They were more than willing to go in early and make sure I had 50 breakfast burritos ready by 7:40 Monday morning. When I arrived they were packaged with so much TLC to make sure they'd be warm when I served them. Staff was so friendly and happy to help. Customer service with a smile unlike any I've seen in years. I can't wait to go back and enjoy breakfast with my family. Fun atmosphere with lots of character as well. Thank you guys SO much for all you did to make our event a success this morning! read more

This place is a wonderful spot to have a nice meal or treat and just enjoy your time with a friend. The area is peaceful. You can stay inside the restaurant or sit outside closer to the glider area and enjoy the sun. Watching the gliders hook up and take off is fun. The staff is very nice and checks on you. The food is very good and filling. It is definitely worth the drive out to the restaurant. read more

On our road trip this Memorial weekend, we decided to stop somewhere for some sandwiches. This place had decent reviews so we gave it a shot, I have family in Tehachapi but I had never heard of it. The location seems odd at first, but it's actually really neat to see all of the small airplanes, and even watch them take-off. The atmosphere is really cute, and very American. The thing that isn't quite American about this place, however, are the portions. I'm a petite woman, but the portions were small even for me. My boyfriend had to stop somewhere else for some more food because he was still hungry after he had his sandwich. It's a shame because the food is fresh and good, but you don't get your money's worth. read more
