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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

Great little grill at the glider port. Fresh ingredients. Very nice cook and waitress. We had a veggie omelette with fruit salad and homemade banana bread.
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.

Restaurant is a great little sandwich shop. They have a few other things on the menu as well. They have some homemade breads including glutin free breads. It's a great experience to see the aviation decor and watch the gliders come and go during a out of the way old school place.

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.

Can't mess up breakfast!Got the Rope Breakfast and it was very good. The menu that is provided at the RV office does not have prices, so I went out on their website but those prices are not correct ... expect to pay 3 - 4 dollars more!
