I go here most mornings for a bagel and cream cheese toasted dark with extra spread.It’s never right. Today was not even toasted at all. Most of the time it’s no spread.I have said something many times and nothing has been done.It’s unfortunate because it’s a good bagel.

The quality of the food and drinks is really good. Considering the quality/ quality and ambience i would say that the prices are on the higher end.The cafe recently moved to a bigger space in same building

One of the best coffee programs in greater Boston; highlighting craft roasters, many of them local. Rotates pretty regularly so there’s always something new.Decent vegan options which are super appreciated. Big fan of the vegan baked goods and breakfast sandwiches. Lots of interesting looking non-veg stuff beyond the standard egg/cheese breakfast sando (which they have too, don’t freak out). The bagels are really good.Definitely a step up from a lot of the other cafes in Cambridge/Somerville.

Wow, I’m no longer coming here after that review about the expired food and terrible customer service. I would have expected any business to extend an olive branch, especially under those circumstances with such a major oversight, but sounds like that customer got unnecessary attitude directly from this business and no accountability. I would have escalated it as well. I will help them spread the word about the terrible customer service from Jaime, which looking back, I have also experienced in store. She was condescending and unhelpful when I asked about vegetarian options.

Friends of Jaime really need to stop posting fake reviews for her. That is very sad and transparent. I had been a loyal customer at all the Revival locations, starting with the one on Newbury, but never again after hearing about the food quality issues and the unprofessional behavior from Jaime. I had met her before when I was buying a bagel and always an aloof vibe, in contrast to her coworkers, who were happy and energetic. I had never met Cameron, who is referenced in the safety review, but please give him a raise for how he interacted with a customer who got the expired food. Major oversight. Shame on Revival for being so cheap and unethical.

To Melissa's misinformed response:First, the DoorDash refund was initiated by me and me only -- not Jaime. She called them for no reason after I told her I already requested and received the refund. DoorDash had the common sense to not only issue me the full refund, but much more, since this was a safety and quality issue.The expired food did affect other locations, as Jaime said products were also pulled from other locations' shelves.The theme of my review is not just about Revival selling expired food, but the disgusting attitude from Jaime. You also did not acknowledge my praises for Cameron. In dealing with the same situation, Cameron and Jaime were complete opposites. Jaime was rude, condescending, and took zero accountability. Terrible customer service skills. I would not have escalated anything if Jaime had been professional, or even apologized.I am actively escalating this situation and you have Jaime to thank for that.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 felt 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.

For some reason I really like this café. Maybe it’s the eclectic choice of a book placed on each table, maybe it’s the open casual industrial atmosphere, music at just the right level, maybe it’s that you have to pass by construction equipment and under scaffolding as you try to find the café in the back, maybe it’s that it is located just off the Fitchburg Cutoff Bikepath (if you happen to be riding to Fitchburg, this sounds like a bonus) alongside Alewife Reservation, maybe it’s that the staff is friendly and the café is just the right kind of busy. Whatever it is, its espressos are excellently pulled and served in a Gibraltar glass accompanied by seltzer water on a wooden platter, and its classic cinnamon coffee cake is seriously addictive. Seriously. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Great little cafe that is still open during the construction of the building. I had the zero to hero bagel sandwich (only vegan breakfast sandwich) and my husband has the Jimmy pesto breakfast sandwich. They were both pretty good. There’s also a couple of vegan pastries, too. Also, my latte was delicious!
