Revival Cafe+Kitchen

The atmosphere was great, and the salad with kimchi(LEONARDO DA KIMCHI) was really delicious. The cashier was very friendly, and the tableware was beautiful. I tried two kinds of muffins, and both were also surprisingly good. Highly recommended!

A cool new casual spot in Lexington to get a sandwich and a coffee. Fancy sandwich and reasonably fancy coffee. Nice looking spot, feels a little fancier than the Starbucks that was there before. Had a rose cardamom latte and a muffin - we were the first folks at the (locked!) door. It was exciting, mostly for my 8th grader. The coffee and muffins were, as expected, good. Both a little too sweet for me, but we had just ridden our bikes and I usually just have black coffee in the morning. Great to have this spot in the neighborhood!

Revival is overpriced meh. Inconsistent and at times not clean. My partner and child had immediate stomach upsets after hot drinks, one of them more than once. Got a refund for this burnt bagel with no smear, but was the 2nd burnt item two days in a row. I wish it wasn’t so, it’s nice to people watch there. I hope it improves.

Good decoration but way too loud. I kept having to repeat myself to the cashier and asking the cashier to repeat themselves. Tried to modify a sandwich but ended up getting the unmodified version, but I'm not clear if they don't do modifications or if they just couldn't hear me. Service was good otherwise but it's very hard to order when it's too loud to hear. Also a pretty small space so limited seating, what they really need is sound dampening stuff. Food menu is a little hard to parse, the font is a lot. Also not clear on if modifications are available and at what price. The sweet potato bread is good, I had a grilled cheese and I wanted to add ham but it was confusing and didn't make it onto the sandwich. Baked goods are all labeled and are easier to order from.

What a delightful addition to the low key Lexington center. This location used to be a Starbucks but Revival truly filled a niche for Lexington. Friendly staff, kitchen made deli food. I had their Leonardo Da Kimchi bowl two days in a row. Yesterday I had it as a takeout, and today I’m eating in and added chicken (see photos). I was worried at first that it would be too spicy but actually the kimchi is quite mild and is very tasty. This is not a quiet place but that’s what’s so great about it. People of all ages are here equally enjoying it. Baby cries, lively conversations and laughter’s ringing in the space!
