The cafe is pretty spacious and lots of seating area. It’s clean and quiet to work remotely or to study.
The staff are very kind and I love their fun menu options and pastries.
The Jimmy Pesto is savory and love the pesto, feta cheese and egg combo. The Ciabatta Bing has a hint of spice and it was very delicious. The chicken was flavorful and their homemade bread is so soft on the inside.
As for pastries, the Ube Swirl bread slice was really good. A little too sweet for the asian taste imo. The Coffee Cake was decent but I found it a little too crumbly.

This café has become my favorite spot to enjoy a coffee, a sandwich/pastry, and a respite from the chaos of my workday. Parking can get a little crowded during busy times but it’s never been so packed that I couldn’t find a spot. There is free no-password wifi, nice clean bathrooms, indoor and outdoor seating that is both plentiful and comfortable, tons of natural lighting and greenery, an excellent atmosphere, very friendly staff, live music on weekends, and even a little nature walk/creek right next door. Such a unique find in the middle of a very busy area near Arsenal Yards. My only wish is that it was open later (it’s open daily 8am-3pm), but I also appreciate that the staff never has to work a double shift this way. I highly recommend the crema roast turkey or the jimmy pesto!

Highly not recommended. Food was bad, coffee was ok, service was abysmal. The bacon was all fat in the sandwich, the “bagel” wasn’t even a bagel, and the staff isn’t friendly – you say thank you and they ignore you. And extremely pricey. Nothing redeeming here unfortunately. Find a real coffee shop.

I saw the menu pics and I was like “wow finally a place with decent protein portions” and got the Caesar salad. My salad had 5-6 very thin strips of chicken but the portion was so much smaller than advertised. Solid flavor otherwise but portion not as advertised

Every a Revival location is unique and serves creative and healthy options.
I love the wide variety of quiet and comfy seating option and plenty of plugs for a computer!
Almost everything is accessible. There are no stairs, but the doors are very heavy: too heavy for me. I needed help. Would be great if they installed a button.
Plenty of parking.
Great for remote work!
This is a blood orange ricotta scone. Yes, it was YUM.

The quality of the coffee here is among the best I’ve had in the Boston area—rich, flavorful, and perfectly brewed. The atmosphere is modern, cozy, and inviting, making it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends.
Their food options, including the gluten-free choices, are of high quality and reasonably priced. I especially appreciated the care they take with gluten-free orders. One of the staff members, who has celiac disease, was particularly attentive and ensured my order was handled carefully to avoid any cross-contamination.
Highly recommend this place for both coffee lovers and those seeking delicious gluten-free options!

The best breakfast sandwich I’ve had in a while. I ordered the “salt-n-peppa Sando” and I substituted the bagel for the revival muffin (house made English muffin) . The sandwich perfect my bread was buttery the bacon was thick sliced and the egg was the perfect amount. I will be back and telling everyone about it. Haha

I love all Revivals but especially this location. The space is very airy and there’s plenty of seating – if tiny, packed cafes stress you out, this is the place for you! The bagelicious & cold brew are always a hit.

I am so glad to find out about this place in Watertown! Healthy food and almost everything they have can be made gluten free. Very good place to sit and sip your coffee too. They also sell a local (from watertown) chocolate. Very friendly staff.

A great place to gather, plenty of open space, lots of sun, sort of a library feel but you get to grab a drink or a snack and hang out with friends. Plenty of parking in the back and it’s free. I’ve tried the Matcha ice tea which was very refreshing and not so sweet. Also tried Matcha Latte this time, and it was a regular Matcha Latte (Matcha with milk, with little bit of syrup/sugar. Not too sweet). The favorite part of this place for me is the space and being able to come as a group. Service can be a little slow when there is a lot of people. But people who work there were friendly.
One thing I’ve noticed though, is that the straw is made of paper and the hole to get it through is on the SIDE of the lid, not in the middle. The little notch/hole in the middle is to pin the little lid you use to open and drink straight from the cup. The paper straw gets a little chewed up after a while and difficult to use . Unfortunately the hole in the middle wasn’t too good at holding the little lid either, lol. Enjoyed playing with it and trying to figure it out though!! .
