Raleigh Raw

Disappointing acai bowl experience. Ordered the Khaleesi Acai Bowl and the blended base didn't look or taste like it had any acai in it. It tasted like a watery strawberry banana smoothie with a bit of kiwi, strawberry, banana, some crunchy underripe mango and like, a tablespoon of toasted oats floating on top. The almond butter scoop tasted fine but was very stiff and difficult to eat with such a liquidy base. As a pretty nice and reputable health bar, I was expecting better. Very sad with this $15+ acai bowl.

Great quality fresh food.You get what you pay for and while it's not low cost, you will get top tier quality Whole Foods.They also make great matcha.

Chill, down to earth atmosphere...Like a moody coffee shop! Really liked - would come back to work or hang out. I got a blueberry smoothie and it was fantastic. Decent price (~$9 / 16oz) but I guess that's how things are these days. Would love to try the food or coffee next time. Friendly service too!

Great place for acai and poke bowls. I love the use of bee pollen. I really also like their juices. I have done one of their juice cleanses in the past. I always stop by when I am downtown for a nice healthy treat. It a bit expensive, but they use a lot of high-quality ingredients.

Picked up a couple juices for some friends. They were great and the staff were super friendly and helpful.

Went for a poke bowl ! Really fresh ! You can't really choose toppings like a traditional poke place, bowls come pre made. I would recommend.

Stopped in for a matcha latte while walking around downtown Raleigh and was not disappointed! They add maple to their matcha latte and almond milk which made the perfect balance of sweetness. My friend tried the chocolate and banana smoothie which was also yummy! It is a bit pricey with my latte being almost $8 but it was definitely good. Would love to come back to try their food.

Yum, tasty vegan cafe in downtown Raleigh! I highly recommend requesting the house made coconut milk in your drink. I chose the matcha latte made with coconut milk and was not disappointed. While walking downtown on a cold morning, I stopped at Raleigh Raw to warm up. The ladies working the counter greeted me upon arrival, showed me where the menus were (at the end of the counter closest to the door), and took my order. Although the food menu looked delicious, I decided on a matcha latte and a pre-bottled juice. The menu is rather pricy, particularly for the beverages. The food items are more reasonably priced. The music is pleasant. It is louder than other cafes but fits the atmosphere. Ample seating is available inside at tables and the bar. Two single clean bathrooms are available in the back of the dining room for use. It took longer than expected to receive the latte, but it was well worth the wait. I enjoyed both beverages. As I mentioned above, the coconut milk used in the matcha latte is divine. The juice I chose was a blend of beet, ginger, lemon, carrot, cucumber, celery, apple, and parsley. It tasted fresh, flavorful (particularly the ginger and beets), and was surprisingly filling. Overall, I had a positive experience here and would return for another coconut milk latte!

I've heard so many great things about this place but was a bit disappointed. I ordered the tumeric golden milk latte, asked to add espresso and for an alternative sweetener than maple syrup. I was shocked that the only alternative they had was honey or coconut sugar, I was looking for something more like stevia which is oftentimes at every coffee shop so I was shocked they didn't have it. The latte itself was cold, not sure if it was because of the juice but I asked for it hot. There was also no milk foam it was totally flat. Not to mention the ginger was a bit too overpowering and made it taste too spicy for my liking. Not to mention it was a 7 dollar base price which came to a 9 dollar coffee after adding espresso, not worth it. Sad as I had high hopes.

I wandered into Raleigh Raw as I was looking for a bottled water for my upcoming walking tour. I normally have a few in the car but forgot to add one. I was immediately greeted and asked about the water as I wasn't sure if they'd have that. But I was pointed to where they were and was rung up and the cashier was asking all about the tour I was going to take. It was genuine so that was nice. I will be back on the days they do the juices as I love to support places with great service and the products seem high quality here.
