- Rachel, Raven Patron

Sit back and “enjoy” while listening to a vast eclectic array of internet-provided music through a state-of-the-art sound system and live performances Wednesday-Saturday nights.
"We love the Raven Cafe! The chai tea is the best, we always buy a large jar of the mix. The laid-back atmosphere, the beautiful interior and the food (tomato bisque soup - yum!) keeps us coming back."
- Cheryl, Raven Patron
The Raven is also a coffeehouse – serving some of the finest specialty coffees, lattés, cappuccinos, real fruit smoothies, flavored coffee “shakes”, hot and blended chai, regular and herbal teas as well as hot and cold Rainforest Yerba Maté Drinks.
"The best coffeehouse I have ever been to. The food is amazing, the drink menu is never ending, and there are hundreds of books to enjoy. Great live music, and the waitstaff is efficient and friendly, but not invasive."
- Elizabeth, Raven Patron
We have worked hard to only introduce to our menu absolutely mouth-watering and unique traditional, deli, baked and grilled sandwiches, awesome “meal-sized” salads, great side dishes, a kid’s menu and the best soup and chili selection to be found – always nine different offerings. In addition – we offer a special later night menu of appetizer plates.
"The first time Ron Patten introduced this place to me three years ago, I was flabbergasted! Such a magical place, and under-advertised Port Huron secret! I love everything about it and tell everyone to be sure to check it out if ever looking for a place to eat in Port Huron. BTW - Your soups are to-die for, especially on a cold winter day! You can be sure we will be back, again and again and again."
- Carol Buswink & Ron Patten, Raven Patrons
