One of my favorite meeting places! Super convenient, abundant parking and friendly staff! They always remember my name and it makes me wonder how they do that with all the different customers coming through!

The Raft has been our local since they opened several years back, we enjoy the consistency of great coffees, friendly service and more often than not promptness, unless there is a house full then this is to be expected. Keep doing what you're doing gang, you rock!

Very knowledgeable and very friendly, pleasant and presentable staff. With Covid at the moment, asked about the vaccine pass and scanned this for both myself and my husband. Not many places have done this. Awesome to see. Keep it up. Food was beautifully displayed and was so fresh. Had not spent time under the heat lamps at all. Keep it up.

For quite some time now, I've been having my lunch at The Raft on a regular basis. I must say that I'm very impressed with the food, my favorite is the Eggs Bacon Benedict, the bacon is always nice and tender, not overcooked. And The Raft is supporting the environment and healthier choices by using free-range eggs. Oh...and the coffee is great!
