Lunch time! Yes!…read more Wanted a yummy lunch so decided to come to Revival because we know they have several lunch items on their menu and also coffee! The place has plenty of seating and it's always welcoming with it's relaxing background music. My boyfriend and I wanted coffee for sure but then couldn't decide on what food items to order. We finally decided to share a grilled cheese sandwich and a tomato soup because it was a cold day and we were a little chilly from walking outside. The tomato soup hit the spot! It was rich in flavor and it was served with a nice big slice of bread. The grilled cheese was very gooey and delicious! It was packed with tons of cheese and it was literally oozing out with cheese because it had so much. We enjoyed dipping our breads into the soup and soaking up the yummy soup. Each bite was perfection! We ordered at the counter and the nice waitress brought over our food to our table. The coffee was also very good and it paired very well with our yummy lunch. We had a perfect winter lunch date!

The coffee is fair, though a wider selection of pastries and the ability to heat up pastries would be ideal.

Overall, it's a nice place to hang out with friends and families (there appears to be a kids' art table; not sure whether it's always available).

We just made a quick stop to grab boba, so I don't have much to say on the service. The boba itself was decent, but nothing special. The ambiance wasn't the best... not much decor, but it still felt welcoming and clean. It felt like more of a takeout type of spot. Not sure I'd go out of my way to come back, but nothing negative to report!

Whenever I'm visiting the Boston area, this place is a must visit. I always go for their cookies,…read morebut they also offer plenty of other baked goods. The cookies are all great, but my all time favorite here is the sesame cookies. They are so good. If you have one flavor of cookie that you like or would like to try, you can buy a bag with seven individually packaged two packs of that flavor inside. If you want to try them all, they sell cookie gift boxes with all of the flavors inside. The cookie box also makes for a great gift. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

Ok, but a little disappointing. It must be difficult running a business like this and building a…read morefollowing. I got inspired by watching youtube to make a jambon buerre sandwich - supposedly a popular quick sandwich for Parisians. The sandwich is half a baguette with butter and French bistro ham. I tried searching all over for the French bistro ham with no luck. The only options were online sources with expensive shipping and/or expensive minimum order sizes. Somehow I stumbled upon MA-France nearby in Arlington and they sell jambon-buerre sandwiches. It's a small shop that sells sandwiches, pastries, and a small offering of French food products. Lots of pastries and baked goods like quiche, tarts, cookies, croissants, etc. The cheese offerings were very limited and basic. I can imagine that the cheeses that they sell are the same types and brands that they use for making sandwiches. For example, they sell President brand Brie - that you can also buy at Costco and market basket. Disappointing, but understandable because they can't afford to buy more variety and more expensive offerings without a big enough client base to buy those cheeses before they go bad. Getting back to the sandwich - it was half a baguette with some thick slices of butter and two pieces of French bistro ham. The bread was kind of dense and the crust was more chewy than crispy. I was disappointed that they didn't bother to spread the butter, but if they're not selling enough sandwiches then they're probably keeping the butter in the refrigerator - making it too difficult to spread. When I got home I fixed up the sandwich to my liking. Overall, the sandwich was okay, but not good enough to make me want to go back. At least I was able to solve my hunger for the jambon buerre sandwich.

Now it's quite underwhelming. The apricot croissant is now some smaller glorified danish that has no richness or personality. The plain croissant is quite "bready" now, whereas it used to be light and buttery. I have a sneaking suspicion that they have a different croissant supplier now. What saved this spot from a lower grade is that the pain au raisin and chausson aux pommes are passable. Also a save is that they still offer various French products, from soaps to cheeses to canned goods. I have to find a new French bakery in the area.

You can see the bakers making bread in the back while waiting for your drink order. The pastries came out immediately, at payment stage.

I couldn't contain my excitement to try my two baked goods while driving back home due to the rain. Both the matcha pastry and ham & cheese danish were simply too delicious!! I still haven't found a bakery in Austin that can live up to this level.

There were literally 3 people sitting with laptops at tables, and one other customer waiting for food pick up. After waiting for my order for half an hour, I had to chase down a staff member to inquire how much longer was my order going to take. At first, they couldn't find it in the computer. Then they told me they had to make the soup I ordered because they were apparently out of it and didn't bother to tell me. Ten minutes later, they handed me a bag and I went (late) to my meeting. When I opened my Turkey, Bacon, Avocado, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich, not only was it on the wrong bread, but there was no turkey to be found. Come on guys! You can do better!

Unfamiliar with the menu, the window advertising "home of the fancy" swayed my choice a little and I felt that naturally I had to try it. Plus the bacon and mayo combo hooked me. No disappointments here, it was delicious! All of the ingredients were fresh and paired well together. I think the appearance threw me off a little, maybe from how the bread looks, but it tasted really good. My drink was just an iced coffee with carmel but next time I want to try the bottled maple cream cold brew because that was calling my name. Overall solid local spot that I would come back too. Their menu is quite original but still simple enough so you can find something for breakfast or lunch. And oh man, reading the description for their grilled Nutella fluff sandwich made my mouth water. Definitely need to come back for that. They are only open for breakfast and lunch so keep the hours in mind.

They are open for breakfast and lunch. The menu is small but is good. They have sandwiches, BLT, breakfast burritos, English muffins to name a few options. They have hot and cold coffees to choose from. My friend and I ordered both the fancy, which contains fried eggs, bacon, avocado, red onions and house mayo on a multigrain bread. I have to say it was very tasty. It is kind of pricy for just a sandwich. But I think the idea is that it's not a chain restaurant and they use healthy foods to make their sandwiches. It's a local place, which is great to support. It is small inside, although they have some tables and chairs to sit and eat. It is also very clean. It is located in a plaza, so there is parking. They do a few other locations. So if you're in this area, it is a must.

The menu says fresh, healthy, etc. etc. the only thing fresh about that bagel was the avocado and maybe the egg. Pretty sure it was Oscar Meyer "bacon" or some other form of microwavable bacon (which isn't really bacon ). Which is totally unacceptable in this day and age. And the sweet sauce they put on it was horrendous. My stomach hurt the entire day. If you're not going to use quality bagels and quality bacon, you should not be charging almost $13 a sandwich. your menu should also list the ingredients line by line. I asked the cashier what was on this and he did not mention a disgusting sweet sauce. It's no wonder there's a line out the door for the café down the street and two people inside this café. Although I did not get anything else, but that sandwich, I will not be returning based on that alone. You should be ashamed for even serving that.

The menu is displayed on large screens, making it easy to read, and the staff were courteous and helpful during the ordering process. Service: We visited during a slow period, so we were served almost instantly. The staff were efficient, ensuring a smooth experience. Drink Quality: I ordered the passionfruit black tea, which was pretty good. It had a nice balance of sweetness, and the black tea paired well with the passionfruit flavor. Value: The prices at Coco Fresh Tea are cheaper than other boba places in the area, and the portion sizes are generous. It's a great spot to satisfy your boba craving without having to travel to the Burlington Mall or into Boston. Overall: A solid option for quick and affordable boba in the Boston area. The combination of good prices, quality drinks, and convenient locations makes it worth a visit.
