We had been traveling for a month and had visited many coffee shops, but the Raven Blues had the best mocha of the trip. The service was friendly and quick, and there's a great art gallery also.

Wandered in after walking around the plaza. Had the best coffees and the raspberry tart was a big hit with the toddler. Thanks for the friendly service!

Delightful spot in Old Town! I had the Little Sparrow a year ago and have driven from the other side of Albuquerque to enjoy this drink over and over. The service was great. The barista was friendly and kind. Will return again!

We stopped in to get a couple of hot drinks this weekend. I had a mocha and my husband had a hot chocolate. It took a little while to get our drinks (they may have been training a new cashier) , but they were tasty. I thought my mocha could have used another shot of espresso, though; you could tell it had more than chocolate in it, but the coffee wasn't very distinct. My husband enjoyed his hot chocolate, which had a good balance of chocolate and hot milk. Raven Blues is just across the street from the west side of the plaza, so it's convenient for Old Town visitors.

Visiting Old Town briefly after a long train ride. Stopped in to get some chai and my sister got a latte. Neither were good. And- it cost us over $16! I specifically asked for my chai to be extra strong. They assured me it would be. Nope. Tasted like nothing- and had bits i had to keep removing from my tongue. My sister didn't finish her pumpkin latte either- which was very gritty. Too bad that a shop in a great spot foot traffic-wise can't provide quality. Gal at the counter was nice. Only reason it's not getting one star.

Is this coffee shop ever open? It's so strange been here 3 times and it's always closed.

I got 2 lemonade for my kids &2 coffee for us and they charged me $26 which is a lot,however I said ok because it's touristic spot but then now I m checking my bank and shows $28.99, this is ridiculous. What a shame,Not honest business. We won't come again.

It is such a beautiful and friendly little coffee shop. Try their house, Brew Lavender Filed Coffee. You won't regret it.

When we found ourselves in Old Town at lunchtime, we stopped in hoping for a meal. We both got hot dogs, my husband's with chile, and mine ready for sweet pickle relish ( on the counter in a family-size bottle. We're the kind of people who get the cheapest possible hot dogs at the grocery store, these were a revelation!The only question I have unanswered is what their hours are. I'd like to come back on a Monday and I can't find a phone number or email?
Great little spot. Had the coffee with red chile and chocolate I believe. Unique and tasty!

Stumbled on this place while wandering around old town, and found this cute little coffee shop adjacent to the gallery. The cute little tattoo barista behind the counter was so kind and friendly. She helped me pick out a "little sparrow." And I thought it was amazing. Not many food items to choose from but I guess they also own Old Town Cafe across the plaza which is also so so good!

3.5 stars. Raven Blues offers a decent selection of coffee but what's best about this place is that it's in such a strategic location that if you need to be in Oldtown, this is a good place to situate yourself.My friend and I were in old town on a very cold day..and we were a little early for our appointment. So, we stopped by Raven Blues to grab coffee to kill our time instead. I thought the coffee was ok. There was nothing to remember about it. It was a little hard navigating and seeing what they actually sell (we weren't even sure if it was an ice cream shop, a coffee shop...or a shop vending other things from the otuside).Overall, decent coffee in a terrific location. A decent place to stop by if you need to be waiting around oldtown/catching up with a friend over coffee.

Delicious! The coffee was perfect and the Little Sparrow was off the charts. Dara was wonderful and very helpful. This would be a daily haunt if we lived here!
Cute little place, Had
