No camera at Raf's yet — these are the closest live lines we cover.
damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Raf's yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
A TikTok creator (@briancantstopeating) called Raf's 'definitely one of the hottest reservations out right now,' advising followers to set Resy notifications because it's 'worth the wait,' while another creator (@thecarboholic) highlighted the dinner menu from the team behind The Musket Room.
Coverage frames Raf's primarily as an all-day bakery-cafe with a more limited, sought-after dinner service, per its own site — meaning the reported demand centers on scoring a dinner reservation rather than a walk-in bakery line, though no source quantifies an actual wait.
