Raven's Nest Cafe

What a fun addition to Northfield! We were able to order immediately and watch our crepes be made right in front of us. A simple but interesting menu makes this cafe standout as a place to check out! The staff were knowledgeable, friendly and quickly whipped up our selections. We ordered the dill lox savory crepe (the dill sauce was amazing and such a unique flavor that pairs well with the salmon lox), the prosciutto and havarti savory crepe (we had the mustard in our crepe and would give a punch of flavor) and topped it off with the Boston Cream Sweet crepe (just the right amount of sweetness with the chocolate syrup and powdered sugar). The caramel latte was just as delicious and served in their eclectic coffee mugs gives a touch of whimsy. The atmosphere was cozy with a spattering of tables for two, a booth and a bar seating area near the bike shop. We plan to frequent here and try all the crepes they have to offer.

A Gem of a place!!! Seriously, I was impressed. Starting from the exceptional service, to the coffee that just brought back great memories and taste. I forgot what good coffee tastes like till I came here! And the food, let me tell ya, delicious!!!! The people that work there all seemed so happy and helpful! Idk how i didnt know about this place before and I've lived in this town for 3yrs! Definitely my go to spot now. Crepes are super

I stopped here for the first time today and I had a great experience. We ordered the savory harvest crepe, biscotti, and a salted rosemary latte. Everything was divine and better than I expected. The staff were so friendly and inviting. The shop dog is a sweet, calming presence in the store. If I lived in the area this would be my daily stop for the perfect combo of yummy, fresh food and personable staff to chat with. Highly recommend!

Neat spot! The coffee and crepes are solid. I would recommend the berry tart crepe and the standard latte. Cool bike shop in the front of the building with the coffee shop in the back.

Friendly, helpful, considerate, and welcoming staff. Quick service - good coffee and tasty food. Friendly and polite dog = great atmosphere. Other patrons are all friendly too.

This place is a hidden gem. The staff was so friendly. The food and drinks were amazing. This is a safe place for LGBTQ+ Definitely coming back! AND you earn points here!

We’ve wandered down to Northfield many a Friday evening or late Sunday afternoon and been curious about this place…but it was always closed those hours. Thankfully, we had better timing this weekend and stepped inside. How fabulous to be able to buy Wonderstate Coffee from Viroqua, WI, in Northfield! I had the Canopy Dark flavor – it is excellent. Several were asking for the Peru San Fernando coffee, and they were out. So, it must be excellent, too. It was fun to watch fresh crepes being made right in front of us and the art of filling and folding them. The salmon one that is paired with dill is exceptional. So, very fresh tasting! I highly recommend them. There were no scones when we visited (I’ll try again), but the popovers were just baked. A simple but excellent nutritious menu makes this cafe a place you’ll want to try. The staff were helpful, friendly, and seemed proud of where they work – that says a lot. I love its homey atmosphere with the aprons hanging on the wall like we find the bakers and chefs wearing in Amish country. There is a row of side tables across from the ordering station, with additional booth and a bar seating in another room attached to the bike shop. We plan to visit again and try more versions of their coffee and crepes. It’s easy to find if you are strolling the downtown area. We’ve always been able to find a convenient street-side parking spot. However, it lacks clear exterior signage; the address is 422 Division St S, Northfield, MN 55057. Look for the Farmstead Bike Shop or bird sign along the sidewalk if you miss it.

Such a cute small town cafe connected to a bike shop and repair place. Had berries and cream crepe and seasonal lavender vanilla iced latte. Really good food. Resident dog is getting old but he is a nice dog. Prices fair. Nice vibes
