Review: What a great place to discover. I had the chickpea korma and brown rice and the ceasar salad - cost around $11 I think. My friend had a spinach pie thing and an amazing spanish salad - fantastic flavors. I only wish I worked in the city and could get here more often. Friendly staff - they even signed me up to their e-mail loyalty programme - apparently I get a gift when I sign up so can't wait! They change their menu every day which is a real bummer as I live in the suburbs and cannot make it in to try things.
 
Pros: Tastes great * Staff were really friendly *
Cons: Not open weekends * Menu changes daily so I miss out *

Review: I went to the Revive cafe recently and was appalled by the behaviour of one of the older staff members. She did not have a welcoming smile, moreover she was harsh to the other younger staff. I am disappointed to enter a vegetarian cafe who has a great newsletter and seemingly a great culture, to be greeted by such behaviour. The portions were too small for the money paid, and there was not much choice at all. I did not enjoy the experience sadly, and although I still receive coupons I will not be going in the future. Unless something is done about those points I have mentioned. I love the newsletter by the way, I think it is very thoughtful and warm.
 
Pros: Great newsletter * *
Cons: Unfriendly staff * Too small portions * Limited variety

Review: It isn't easy to find salads in the city and revive does offer a variety. There are green salads as well as potato and pasta salads. Also each day there is a "hot pot" option- something like bean stew on brown rice and a "meal of the day" - something like a lasagne or filo tart. In addition, a frittata is always avaliable. The food is ok, but you could easily make it yourself, probably better-- and for a lot cheaper. one time I had a silician almond rice salad , and it contained just half an almond. The main meals are rather expensive (between $11.90 and 14.90) and the portions are sometimes quite small. a lot of things have either dairy or eggs in them so if you have allergies it's not easy. (The staff are a bit clueless sometimes if you ask about ingredients so be careful) However there are gluten free options. The food is quite carbohydrate-rich so you might feel a bit bloated or hungry later on. Overall, revive is a satisfactory option when you're in town without food and you want something remotely healthy. Sign up to their emailing list and you will get discount vouchers.
 
Pros: Good salad variety * Good values * Discount vouchers if on email list
Cons: not good value for money * carb over load *

Review: The food here is ordered at the counter from a couple of daily options. The food is healthy, tasty and comes with brown rice. You can quickly grab something to go, great if you're running to catch the ferry, and want a vegan lunch for the ride!
 
Pros: healthy * quick * to go
Cons: * *

Review: Same menu as the other Revive location in town. Great food, tasty, brown rice, balanced meal with protein! I ate there several times while in Auckland. Warmly recommended.
