Reviews
"The staff here are always so kind. They’re always willing to help answer any questions about the menu or give recommendations. The manager Jaime is always pleasant and genuinely engages with customers (and she’s often on the floor helping her team which is nice to see!). Not to mention the food and drink are delicious (the salt n peppa is a must try)"
"I love eating here, but it feels a little disingenuous that they sneak in a 5% service fee even after you've already tipped. Just raise the prices on the menu if you need to, but don't mislead customers on the cost of items. Not the only place I've seen do this though. Otherwise I love the food, and the staff is wonderful. The pumpkin spice is the best I've found yet."
"We’re big Revival fans—we take family and friends there anytime we have visitors. I love the seasonal drinks and iced matcha lattes. We’ve also had a handful of delicious bagel sandwiches. We love anything with the “broccoli situation” on it and the Jimmy Pesto is great too. Nice little seating spot outside (but not great in the rain as it drips through the covering), though not much space to sit or walk inside. The staff is generally pretty friendly—not the most friendly (has a bit of an all-business vibe / not super warm with each other or customers), but all good. Reasonably quick service depending on when you go. Would definitely recommend!"
"Stopped by Revival before heading out for some markets. We ordered the bagelicious, citrus matcha latter, chia latte and the Plain Jane with bacon. Overall, flavors were super solid, but the bagel & muffin definitely could have been toasted more, parts of the bacon were so hard that it actually hurt my teeth and the matcha citrus latter was so sweet it was like drinking a melted ice cream. Would I come back? Yes, 100%…but only if I was in the area. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come back."
"Really well crafted coffee - that is nicely balanced and enjoyable. Space is great, staff is helpful and very knowledgeable, and just a great overall vibe. My two cents - best coffee in Davis Square."
