Revival has some of the best breakfast sandwiches period! Love their Saltn peppa sammie! This post was made in connection with a Toast promotion!

May be inexpensive but you get what you pay for. Nice to have a lot of options but nothing is particularly good. Their to-go boxes trap in moisture so don’t expect anything to be crisp.

I regularly choose Revival as my afternoon pick-me-up. Great service, phenomenal coffee.

We went here on a rainy day and the atmosphere was lovely. Hardly anybody inside and plenty of space to sit. The lavender matcha is a great flavour combination, especially hot. The salt and pepper biscuit with egg and bacon was also delicious and quite filling for the size.

Nice space but the salt-n-pepa sandwich was mediocre. Bread was good but the eggs were some fake watered-down powdered eggs cut into a thick rectangle - a step up from McDonalds or dunkin’ eggs but you’re paying $9 for it. Would have giving 4-5 stars if it were real eggs, not the watered down powdered eggs that didn’t have any egg flavor. Lemonade was fine, but my cup was probably 20% lemonade and 80% ice. A pretty pricey breakfast ($13.50) for fake eggs and a cup of ice with some lemonade.

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.
Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie and vegan options on the menu, options are clearly labeled
Dietary restrictions: Plenty of veggie and vegan dishes, they can substitute and/or omit pork, common allergens listed on menu beside dishes, and an easily accessible book(by staff) with ingredient lists.
Wheelchair accessibility: Whole place is on one floor and is flat, some tables are set lower, staff is friendly and will very likely do what is needed to get you what you need wheelchair wise

Pretty decent breakfast sandwich that was unforgivably marred by their deceitful, insulting, and unscrupulous decision to add a 5% “hospitality” fee to the bill (in addition to that absurd practice of flipping the charge screen around to ask for a default 20% tip for handing me a wrapped and premade sandwich and pressing the lever on the drip coffee machine).This kind of practice should be illegal.Here’s a “tip” - if you can’t sustain your business without making your customers feel ripped off in principle, you can’t sustain your businesses. Disgusting practice and shameful operation.

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.
This place was really cool. Cool people, cool atmosphere and great food/ coffee. Came here during a layover. Very welcoming vibes and delicious coffee along with food. I appreciate the food and service, thank you much!

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.
