We’ve been here a few times for breakfast and coffee. The staff are friendly and they definitely cater to different tastes and allergies. I think their menu is clever and unique however some of the dishes leave my mouth feeling a bit dry. Very quirky decor, Lots of fun but could work a bit more on the sauces and dressings.

The coffee is great. It’s not the best I’ve had, but then again that isn’t the only thing that’s important about a cafe (unless you’re old fashioned)

Decor and dishes were BAD ASS! They fit in perfectly with the feel of K-road. Make-shift, old, recycled but somehow chic. I loved drinking out of mix and match cups and saucers. It makes the experience a little less ordinary.

The food! The food has always been delicious. They have options for all different diets, and I applaud them for that! My cousin is vege/dairy-free and just kept wanting to go back. Every time I go I leave with a smile, a full puku, and no regrets over the (relatively) small amount they take from my bank account.
Ka pai!!!

Been to revel a number of times with my partner for food and desserts. Everytime we have ate it has been devine. Good to see there vegan and vege options . The slices are yume …

I’ve been to Revel on a number of occasions, and have had good and bad experiences. Unfortunately the latter are starting to outnumber the former. Firstly, the coffee is not great – and that’s the most important thing about a cafe, surely? Some lessons on how to make flat whites may be needed. And call me old-fashioned, but drinking coffee out of a teacup is a bit odd. Secondly, the food. I recall having delicious french toast with fruit a few months back, but it seems to have disappeared from the menu. In its place are some odd, very heavy buckwheat pancakes, supposedly with creme fraiche (of which there was no sign). Not good. The “cake” I recently had was pretty ordinary, too – it seemed uncooked. Not fantastic, despite the scores of customers – though I think most of them come because they can smoke outside.

The service here is absolutely fantastic! Went there for the first time yesterday and had breakfast, going again now for more yummy stuff.

My partner I visited Revel today ( 07.11.10) and had an awful experience.

I ordered the ‘Beetroot and Lentil Salad’, and he ordered a slice of vegan banana cake. What a disappointment. The cake was as hard as a rock, dry and stale, I can only imagine that it was baked a week ago.

My salad was worse. It actually tasted like dirt. My partner tasted my salad and was as equally unimpressed. I should add at this point that I am not a picky eater, so for me to leave a meal after one bite is rather impressive.

To top off our Revel experience, my smoothie was WARM. How on earth can a smoothie be warm? Yuk. The coffee was okay, but I felt as though I was going to vomit by this stage.

Needless to say, we left hastily with $20 less in our pockets.

I have been to Revel before for coffee and snacks, but never have I had such a rubbish experience.

Never again.

Ah, what happened to you guys? The service here used to be spot on and so did the coffee. Now the guys/girls are a bit too cool for their own Doc Martins and the coffee is super average. It’s a shame. I really loved this place. I’ll keep checking back to see if it’s improved.

i wouldn’t speak more highly of this place. I wish with all my heart that they were closer to home so I can go every day. As of now i have to hike up a hill just to indulge in their divine cake selections and perfect coffee. A must go.

This spot became a regular place for us, since they have a high quality of their food to a very fair price that is served by very friendly personal. Another big plus of Revels is, that they serve Vegan and Gluten free food.

Uh, did I mention that the coffee is really really great?
