Coffee House & Retail Store Located La Conner, WA
Business Description
Your chance to own a fun, unique Pacific Northwest tourist attraction, as advertised on the state ferries! This Coffee House features
delicious coffee, teas, cocoas and chocolates, along with popular local baked goods. All of the food and beverage products have been curated
for high quality by the current and previous shop owners. Customers often comment about how good the drinks and pastries are. This business features high-end brands like La Colombe Coffee, Rishi Tea and Sanctuary Chai; and local favorites like La Conner Tea, award-winning
Forte Chocolates (and cocoas) from Mt. Vernon, and pastries from La Conner’s iconic Scone Lady. The food and drink, art and gift selections
offer a unique shopping combination, in a comfortable setting that encourages customers to linger. An online reviewer called the shop “La
Conner’s living room.” While customers are waiting for their drinks, or relaxing with friends and family, they shop in a distinctively Pacific
Northwest art gallery and gift shop, showing art from two dozen local artists, along with one of the best selections of Native American art in
northwestern Washington. Several local artists’ works are exclusively available at this business. The gift shop presents La Conner and Skagit
County souvenirs that aren’t available anywhere else. Other product lines include greeting cards and coffee mugs (both often featuring local
art), games, candles, and more. The gift selection, like the art, emphasizes products from local artists and vendors, along with some hard-tofind,
unusual, global items, such as the teapot designed for Queen Elizabeth II herself. Raven’s Cup emphasizes its PNW roots. It has a fun
Sasquatch Corner for locals and tourists alike (there is nothing more northwestern than a painting of a sasquatch riding an orca

selection of coffees, teas and cocoas, and more seating than any other local coffee shop. Having two espresso machines and a PourSteady
enables Raven’s Cup to serve customers quickly. Raven’s Cup also serves popular local pastries from The Scone Lady, an iconic La Conner
bakery that has limited opening hours. Customers seek out scones at Raven’s Cup. There are other art galleries and gift shops in La Conner, - Opportunities for Growth
