I won't give it 5 stars just because the espresso was a bit more acid than it should (make sure the water temperature and the grinder is well set), but by far it is the best coffee I've tasted in Boston.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options.

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.

Revival selling expired food and I also experienced deplorable and unacceptable customer service from Jaime (or Jamie) at Davis location. The food came unfresh and expired. No one cared to check the overnight oats and the entire batch was expired and sold at all Revival locations. These were only pulled when I called to ask why the overnight oats tasted so sour, tart, carbonated, and rotten. I initially spoke to a wonderful person named Cameron, who was incredibly kind, apologetic, and genuine. He even said he and others tasted the overnight oats to confirm they were in fact expired.Cameron was the total opposite of Jaime, who made it sound like the customer's problem. When I asked Jaime for a replacement or a gift card for this experience directly from the store, as a show of accountability and customer loyalty, Jaime basically said absolutely not. She sounded extremely resistant to to make anything right and when I told her I will be posting a review about this and contacting the health board, she sarcastically said "PLEASE do!" So, that's what I'm doing.I'm hopeful that every employee will learn from Cameron, who I hope becomes a manager. The way he listened and responded to the situation was extremely professional and did not exacerbate the problem, like Jaime chose to do. And it's really about principle. If Jaime had offered, say a $5 gift card, or said "the next one's on us" or something to that effect, or even attempted an apology, then I would have not have feel inclined to post this review and to get the health board involved. But again, she urged me to post this review and to escalate the situation with the health board.Please use caution when dealing with Jaime, if she is still at Revival. But hopefully you come across other professional and much more qualified staff members, especially Cameron, who was such a sweetheart. Learn from him.

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

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!

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.
Came here for lunch and ordered the rose cardamom latte, Jimmy pesto, and earl gray pastry. Rose cardamom latte: 3/5 This was one of their seasonal drinks. I loved how strong the rose flavor was, but the syrup was pre-made and the drink was a bit too sweet for my liking Jimmy Pesto: 5/5 I loved this breakfast sandwich! I'm a big sucker for pesto. The bread was perfectly chewy and toasted, and the pickled onions were a nice touch. I also thought it was priced very well, at only $8 Earl gray pastry: 4/5 I forgot the actual name, but it was so flakey and buttery! Docked a point because there wasn't much earl gray sugar and it just tasted like a normal croissant. Note: there are a lot of tables, but it gets pretty crowded with people on laptops, so be prepared to wait for a table or order food to-go

Excellent egg sandwiches with great portions of egg and toppings that balance well with the bread. Fresh, hot and not greasyVegetarian options: Tasty sandwich options with just egg and vegetables, easy to ask for no meat.

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!

Food- just got a regular latte and a vanilla latte. I tend to be a coffee snob and this felt like a very decent cup of coffee. Nothing special per say and the vanilla latte was a bit sweet so took away from the coffee itself. They have some nice pastries too!! Wish their drinks were a tad bigger as well.Service- pretty fast but they do get busy especially on Saturday morning so expect to wait 10-15 min. Seating also would be hard to findAmbiance- small cute place. Plenty seating depending on the time of day.

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.
