Amazing, beautiful baristas. Anna, Nick and Kylie were so sweet and welcoming. Felt like home! Would definitely come in more often. AND they serve espresso with sparkling water on the side. Bagels are great.

Local chain cafƩ serving unique pastries and sandwiches.

Didn’t know about Revival until last year, but since my first visit, I’ve been coming here regularly for breakfast sandwiches. The sandwiches run on the smaller side for the price, but the quality makes them worth it. My favorite is the Jimmy Pesto, which comes with egg, feta, and their housemade muffins. The muffins are soft, porous, and perfectly engineered to soak up every drop of the sunflower seed pesto. It’s a flavor bomb that makes you forget you just spent $12 on something the size of a hockey puck. Of the other specials I’ve tried, the fried chicken sandwich was solid. I’m less convinced by their pastries overall, but the coffee cake was my favorite so far.

This location is close to Davis Square, so it can get a bit crowded, though they do open up a small outdoor patio when the weather’s nice, which helps.

Coffee drinks are great and consistent. It's also a pleasent place to have a conversation or work with indoor and outdoor seating options. Great energy.

Everyone there was rude. The person taking our order quite obviously did not want to be there and was very standoffish. It seemed like no one there really cared about the customer service, a man in front of us waited in a long line twice for his one drink that he had to come up to the counter and ask about again, then to top it all off not only did I get my two coffees before him, I also got my food before him; mind you he ordered one drink. The vibes were very off in there, my order ended up being wrong but it’s so bad in there I didn't want to go back. While the food was good it was nothing to write home about and definitely not worth the long line with the poor worker atmosphere. Honestly rancid vibes.

FIRE! Got the peppered biscuit breakfast sandwich and it truly rocked my world. Definitely ā€œrevivedā€ me. Cute little location, staff is super nice and friendly, and the coffee was great, perfect espresso. Definitely wish there were more coffee specialties because a little seasonal bevy is always my go to latte choice but I literally can’t complain because i’ll be back

I was just asked not to sit at a patio table, because they are closing it down. When every other table was full and the business is still open for 30 minutes. I think I had enough time to eat my salad, but this employee disagreed. No matter how nice you say it, this is still not good hospitality. Always love the chicken Caesar, but lately the croutons have been soggy. A bit of a bummer.

Very casual order at counter place. Limited inside seating and some courtyard outside seating.
I’m not a big breakfast food person but they had good breakfast unique sandwiches.
