Revival Cafe+Kitchen

TL;DR: If you need a quick, healthy, and delicious meal and/or coffee, this is the place for you! Their prices are reasonable, their ingredients are fresh and yummy, and the staff very friendly.

I've gotten a few meals here after starting to work in the area, and it's safe to say that in just a few weeks, they've won over my loyalty and I plan on being a regular.

The staff are always laid back, friendly, and hard working here. Additionally, if you come in regularly, the staff will remember you and make you feel especially welcome, and they will work with you to get the coffee and/or food that makes you want to come back.

I have a dietary restriction around pork and shellfish for religious reasons, and they are able to accommodate that with protein swaps and/or removals. They also have other food restrictions labeled like dairy free dishes, vegan dishes, dishes with soy, gluten-free stuff, nuts, and probably more.

Their coffee is also delicious, with a focus on light roasts. I didn't used to like light roasts too much, but the way their lattes pair with the coffee and the good quality of the coffee itself has changed my mind on that. The batista is especially friendly and will work with you to help get the cup of coffee that you want and/or need!

Overall, there's something for pretty much everyone here that wants a good coffee, breakfast, or lunch from a convenient location downtown.

I haven’t had this sandwich since 1year ago! It was so delicious! Revival Cafe + Kitchen Staff thank you so much for coking the bacon as requested! The sandwich was so tasty fresh egg and biscuit cooked perfectly so moist inside and golden on the outside! This breakfast sandwich is phenomenon!!!!! You make a GREAT breakfast sandwich! The bacon was crispy not burnt and a good balance with the cheese and egg what a great taste!

My friend got a Macchiato (though it's not on the menu they can make it for you. ) I got the mint tea. Prices are good. Croissant was like $3 and super flaky and fresh. Get one . Mint tea looks like the same one Thinking Cup has a few doors down but it's good. Brightly lit

Not just the best coffee shop in all of Boston but maybe one of the best overall coffee shops I've ever been too. It's in the perfect spot in Boston and the basement layout is perfect. The staff here are so friendly and they make such delicious coffee. Finally, there is a terrific food menu too! If you are visiting Boston or are a local resident make sure you get a coffee from Revival ASAP

Great breakfast sandwiches and coffee! Table space is a bit sparse, so don't plan to have a ton of real estate available if looking to work from here. Good social space with good pastries. Staff are very kind and friendly.

This place is really good. Great sandwiches and ginger steamer drink! The menu evolves with the season. Favorites include Green Goblin with sweet potato chips, Bagelicious (add bacon), and Crema Roast Turkey (pressed)! You won’t regret it!

Bagelicious sandwich = delicious. I thought the sandwich was small at first but it’s quite filling. The matcha latte was alright, it comes sweetened, although it wasn’t overly sweet personally.

Out of towner who ducked in to get out of bad weather - and so glad that I did! Had the For-Gouda-boutit and it’s one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in quite a while! Deli-worthy and flavors that i never would have imagined would come together but they work so well together. Sweet potato chips are also a must have. So lucky that I stumbled upon Revival during my short trip!

Got a hot black coffee and it was incredible. Flavorful, smooth, no acidity! My partners iced coffee was also just as delicious. Lots of affordable breakfast options and friendly service.

The staff here are always so friendly - especially the barista with the blonde hair. He is always in a great mood which is a nice way to start the day.

Stopped by early on a Saturday morning for an iced coffee. There’s a nice outdoor patio, the ability to order ahead via QR code, and the pick-up was very pandemic-safe.

Iced coffee was well-sized, had great flavor (no over roasted beans here!), and prices are in line with other Newbury Street cafes.

Great spot if you’re looking for a change of pace or Thinking Cup looks crowded.

While i was sad to see Render coffee close, Revival has thoughtfully activated the seating area, retaining the best of the original vibe and expanding it. The latte is wonderful and the food is also a welcome addition. (The Plain Jane is deceptively simple and high quality, something about the toasted bread!)

This was my first visit but I will be back if I find myself in the neighborhood again. Delish! I didn’t have a chance to eat-in but I grabbed some late lunch to go. It was 4:30 and I believe they close at 5 but I was still greeted by a sweet hello and lots of help. I had a wonderful interaction with the front desk associate yesterday. I was in a rush and a bit flustered but they helped me pick out the perfect vegan option to go along with a delicious almond milk latte made with 🫶🏻Thank you!

The food and drinks were delicious! I had the Green Goblin sandwich paired with a black tea latte and was floored at how good it was. The decor was fun, colorful, and eclectic. They were very kind people, despite how busy it was. I will be coming here regularly.

Great vegan options. A little expensive, but good quality food and knowledgeable, friendly staff. We got coffee, a Bagel with the sweet potato hummus, overnight oats, and a muffin. All very good, especially the Zucchini muffin.

Coffee was delicious. I would recommend. Pastries were good too

Fantastic spot to grab a weekend coffee and sandwich. Indoor seating is limited, but the atmosphere is very welcoming. Great breakfast pastries and sandwiches!

Amazing hospitality and service. Delicious coffee and food. Very impressed.

Love this place, go most days for lunch. Staff super friendly and food is delicious. The potato bread is great, and I have yet to have a bad soup of the moment. Also caesar salad is top notch!

Excellent coffee. The staff has been fantastic every time I've been in, and have been excited to talk about the beans they were brewing right then (a great sign that they really care about coffee and enjoy what they're making). Nothing else nearby remotely compares.
