Revival Cafe & Kitchen

Nitro cold brew was delicious, service is always great. The kitchen quality has noticeably gotten worse over the past few years. It wasn't busy at all and my sandwich was cooked inconsistently and ingredients were falling all over the place. There seems to be a (new?) kitchen fee of 5%. This is deceitful especially when the tablet is turned around and not itemized, so I tipped without realizing the fee existed. I recommend going to Clear Flour or Butternut Bakehouse which do not have hidden fees or even an option to tip, as they pay their workers well and price their menu transparently. To management: have some backbone and increase your menu prices accordingly rather than hide the fees. And maybe one day remove the tablet-flip-tip.. baby steps though.

I love the food and coffee at Revival! The food seems to be cooked with a lot of care and is well-balanced in terms of flavor. The Oh My Gourd Noodles Bowl and the Jalapeno Bagel are among my favorite things to eat!

Revival Coffee blends a laidback vibe with serious coffee craftsmanship. The baristas are friendly and knowledgeable, and the espresso drinks are consistently smooth and well-balanced. Their pour overs bring out the best in thoughtfully sourced beans As a New Yorker, I’m picky about bagels, but the one with cream cheese here totally exceeded my expectations. Paired it with a wonderful latte and couldn’t have been happier. Chill vibe, great coffee, solid spot.

Whenever I come into this place, I always get a good, chill vibe. People are nice and the eating areas are clean and have a good feel. I know I don’t really drink much coffee or tea, so this review isn’t a complete analysis of this place. I tried the turkey sandwich and it was pretty fire with the avocado, slaw, and bacon. However, it was 12-13 bucks and it wasn’t that large like a jersey mikes sub I could get for a bit cheaper. Same goes for the 4.50 waffle fries that were well seasoned but went cold too fast. They still retained a good amount of crisp, but I wish there were more fries. Overall, this place is a very solid 4/5, but once I try the drinks that may change for the better.

The café is quiet with a great atmosphere, delicious food, and a clean environment. Their sandwiches were especially tasty, and the Caesar salad was good, though the portion of vegetables was quite small. However, I noticed that the staff was not particularly friendly toward people of color. While it’s not a legal issue, their attitude toward kindness seemed noticeably different depending on the customer, which made me uncomfortable. Because of this, I’m unsure if I’d return.
