If you want good coffee and an assortment of fresh baked goods, check this place out. They open early and the staff is very friendly. Like the berry muffins and the scones. read more

My sister and I found this place on our way to the lake about a month ago. It's a bit out of the way for us but we go multiple times a week. We love the service, the coffee and teas are always great (I get the lavender chai) and the food is so good (recommend the bacon cheddar biscuits and granola). There is a .50 charge for cards but it also costs them to process card transactions, most cafes do this. It's my favorite spot so far and every time we leave the house my sister asks to go!! read more

Love this little coffee place. Every single person I've ordered from has been super nice and friendly, and beverages are great too. I always make it a point to swing by whenever I'm in the area. read more

Just bad coffee and clueless barista. I ordered a iced white chocolate americano with cream and received it warm with 4 ice cubes almost completely melted. I am a barista myself and know and iced americano is just shots, flavor, a splash of cream and the rest ice. It should be VERY full of ice. It was burnt shots and Luke warm and the barista asked what the other drink was 5 times after being told repeatedly. Just not good at all. read more

I'm addicted to Ravensara!! All the amazing people that work there wonderful. Thanks for making me smile.

Ravensara has delicious coffee, yummy muffin and cookie options from 3 Clouds Bakery, and friendly staff!

Yikes... I can't recommend anything from this coffee stand. My husband's drip coffee tasted like water. My americano was made incorrectly. I so badly wanted to like the muffin we ordered but it was very, very dry. The barista seemed annoyed that we were even there. You'd be wise to just keep driving. read more

Waited in line for 25 minutes. White chocolate in iced americano was not melted. Barely any ice in the drink. Did not ask if I wanted anything to eat, or if I wanted straws or a sleeve on my hot coffee. Not a vibe. Would not ever go back. read more

It's great having this little place so close to where I live. All the ladies I've ordered from have been great. Really friendly and a couple of them even remember what we like to order. Amazing coffee, so much better than some of the bigger coffee places. I always order the same and want it screaming hot and they are always accommodating. Their muffins and scones are delicious and always freshly made. read more

Well Ravensara has decided to start charging $.50 fee for using a card now, even debit cards! We learned this today on our visit, AFTER our card was charged, apparently it's a new added fee, customers could be told upfront and not have to rely on a little sign at the window mixed in with the so many signs they have! Our family understands the economy. Everyone has to make a living things are expensive where do you draw the line when businesses put their fees on their customers? What is Ravensara going to give its customers for the extra $.50? Nothing! So for our hard earned money, we give them an extra $.50 Penalized for using a card and for what? A medium cup of coffee? It adds up! Well, no, thank you! We are a family of 4 drivers. We have been giving them our business for quite a long time. Unfortunately, yesterday was the last visit for all of us. Just doesn't sit right with us lady at the window said we're so sorry. Well, our family hopes, the 50 Cent charge was worth losing a family of four. Never again! We as consumers need to take a stand to businesses who penalize their customers. Otherwise in the past, we never had anything negative to say about Ravensara prices keep creeping up and now with this fee we're just going to make our coffees and teas at home. It's so much cheaper. The Garcia family. read more

Wish I could give them 100 stars best place too go the while mocha yummy and the staff is so sweet

I am a fan of the baker here but the barista is beyond trash. Not all of them but the curly haired girl. He attitude was horrible and even after she asked if I wanted whip and I said no, she still proceeded to put it on anyway. When I reminded her she grabbed my drink back with an attitude and scraped it off. Never again! read more

Great staff, tasty coffee! What's not to love! Drive trough is super friendly and they have dog treats too!

Poor service and the coffee taste burnt. The baristas are nice but the owners are often aloof ... I gave it two stars because it's local, some of the baristas are nice and the bakery is good but often runs out of food. read more

My fav! Huge variety of specialty drinks, great staff, consistent taste/quality. Can't complain!

Stopped by this place on my way to the airport. Service was wonderful. We ordered a mocha latte nonfat, a regular coffee, a bran raisin muffin and a pumpkin pecan muffin. It was delicious!!! The coffee was very flavorful and the muffins were light and slightly sweet. If you are ever passing through this area I highly recommend a stop here. Apparently they have good soup and sandwiches too! read more

Okay, so, we live in an area that has a coffee shop crammed into every nook and cranny, so to stand out among the competition is no easy task. Just to give a bit of perspective; I grew up along the banks of the Mississippi River, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Unbeknown to my mom, my Italian Granny introduced my four year old self to good ole Louisiana mud; Coffee & Chicory. Since then I've liked my coffee strong, with heavy cream and sugar. Now, I usually get a mocha. That's my java background. Ravensara is one of the standouts in my opinion. The big winner for me is the coffee. You can have flair, theme's, and the cutest girls in the county, but if the coffee taste like burnt broccoli, it's an EPIC FAIL in my book. The Coffee is the star, and must come first, at all costs. Ravensara has this down. The coffee is consistently great. Not to mention that they do in fact have the cutest baristas in the county! The theme is sort of an Earthy vibe, but it's cool. Not too overbearing. The owners are really nice and friendly as well. Oh, and did I mention that there's also a bakery? Yup, fresh artisan breads, cookies, and crackers baked daily. Yes, I said Crackers. The first time I saw the sign up that today's special was fresh cheddar crackers, I was a bit skeptical. Aside from Nabisco, who makes crackers? Well, the answer is; Ravensara does! And they rock! The baker comes in each morning and makes all sorts of good things. You can actually see him working through the drive through window. My favorite, and keep in mind where I'm from, are the blueberry scones. You will not find scones in New Orleans, period. I've never been a scone fan. It's biscuit dough with fruit in it. In the NW, scones are treated like pastries, which I never got, that is, until I had a blueberry scone from Ravensara. Brilliant. He also makes something called a Morning Bun, which is similar to a cinnamon roll, without the icing. Those are also really good. So, if you find yourself out on the Key Pen, heading to one of the wonderful state parks that dot the area, Ravansara is a very worthy pit stop. Cheers! Jim read more

Excellent service and amazing coffee and pastries!! The bacon cheddar biscuits are to die for! I also love the vast selection of milks and syrups. Always a treat! read more

This place is a sorry excuse for a coffee shop. Cold bagels with twice as much cream cheese as bagel. Plus exiting the place is a death trap. read more

Best place to go for coffee on the peninsula. Yummy baked goods too I might add. The hot chocolate is the bomb and prices are miniscule compared to other coffee places *cough* Starbucks *cough* And my favorite part is that despite how busy they can get they can still recognize their multitude of regulars and their usual orders. P.S. try the pocket sandwich thingy, its heavenly XD read more

I just love this place. The girls working there are always nice and they remember my drink so it's often made by the time I'm at the window. The coffee is really good and I love their baked goods. I can't say enough good!! read more

Seriously thank god for Ravensara! I live in Seattle and have a little beach house on the pen. They save my life for coffee, snacks, lunch, treats, and even soup, whenever I'm traveling to and from the beach house. I love love love the convenience of the drive through! And I've always had top notch service every single time. The Americanos are very good and the little sandwiches are great! I have gotten their soup a few times for a quick dinner and it's excellent. Please always stay where you are Ravensara; I don't know what I would do without you! read more

Ravensara's weekday baristas are the best in the business. They work the line like no others. They care about the folks they are serving and they are genuine. The coffee is great and they have a bakery on site with fresh muffins and scones. Drive-through only (just FYI). read more

The lady at the window was very sweet- I can't remember her name though. Coffee was good, the sandwich I ordered was good but very over priced for the size and what came on it (very little!) I would definitely try the coffee again but I will pass on the sandwiches due to the prices. read more

Favorite coffee shop close to our home in the key peninsula! They also have delicious soups and bakery items. I'm pretty sure my husband goes there for the home made crackers alone read more

These guys are ok, coffee is fine and pastries are hit or miss. Am local, come frequently.

I'm a Carmel macchiato stirred kind of girl and some places make them right and some don't. Ravensara does a pretty good job at it

We love this coffee shop!! Everyone working there are friendly and nice. The coffee is great and the bakery food is fresh great ingredients. One of the reason we bought a place in this area is having this coffee shop nearby :) read more

On Jan 28th I was working in Gig Harbor for the 1st time. I had a meeting with clients, and afterward, I tried to GPS my way home. This area is a black hole. NO CELL OR GPS SERVICE. So at 4pm, with pouring rain and being frustrated. I find Ravensara Espresso on a little side street. I pull in and a VERY sweet young lady greets me and asks what we can get me. (Now i hate going to a business and ask for something without buying something. Yet I was not in the mood, just wanted directions and to get on my way home) This young woman (sorry didn't get her name) was so kind she helped me find my way and then as i was about to leave she noticed my frustration and said. "Hold on one second" She came back with a scone and I said "I Didn't order this" she said "This is just to show you what a great place this is" MY MOOD CHANGED! I was smiling and drove home (2 hours) and it was all cause of this young lady! read more

This place is a welcome retreat on the long commute from Harstine Island to Tacoma. Bakery items always fresh and delicious, great service and the coffee is wonderful. A delightful surprise on my way to work! read more

Nice coffee, nice people, nice bakery, convenient drive-through. Definitely the best espresso spot on the Key Peninsula. That may sound like faint praise, because the Key is not exactly known as a gourmet's paradise, but Ravensara could hold its own anywhere, even in Seattle, which of course prides itself on being the world Caffeine Holyland. One small caveat, nothing to do with Ravensara itself: If you are coming from the north, be very careful making a left turn into the parking lot - it is one of the most dangerous curves on a dangerous two lane rural highway. read more

I am the sugar free white chocolate mocha with whip and no straws girl and all I have to say is: Mmmm. I have been to many coffee shops drive throughs to feed my addiction but no one I MEAN NO ONE. Makes this combination as wonderful as your girls. The customer service is phenomenal. When I need a happy boost and the best ever cup of coffee this is my place. And the morning buns- I tell ya if you have not indulged you are missing out. Thank you for being there for ME Ravensara Espresso . TB see you in the AM read more

My favorite place to get my Americano or espresso, depending on my mood. Very friendly staff.

Good coffee, sandwiches and muffins haven't had a bad experience yet! Great selection of items and really appreciate the friendly staff!

Hands down the best coffee shop in the gig harbor/key peninsula area! My wife and regularly went there while we lived on the key peninsula from 2006 - 2013. Since we moved to Gig Harbor city limits we don't get out there as much, but we do make the drive from time to time because it is still the best! The staff (although different throughout the years) are all amazingly nice. The food from the bakery is just as good as the coffee!!! Try an iced white chocolate vanilla mocha if you stop by there! I would HIGHLY recommend this coffee stop! read more

I drove by Ravensara Espresso & Bakery on Highway 302 on the Key Peninsula for nearly a year before stopping for coffee this morning. The coffee was wonderful--not bitter or burned tasting. The bakery items we bought were very tasty. I was especially excited to learn they serve organic coffee AND organic bakery items. Emily, the barista, was polite and knowledgeable. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will be visiting Ravensara again soon. If they had an "organic coffee & bakery" sign out front I would have stopped months ago. {hint to the owners} Awesome experience. Thanks for being there. read more

Some of the best coffee that I have ever had! And the service was warm, friendly, and very efficient. A very classy coffee shop/bakery and I highly recommend that you try it. read more
