Great first visit to Revive! Had the smoked fish kedgeree and was thoroughly impressed. They were very generous with the amount of fish, the egg was runny and perfectly poached and the rice was creamy and lightly spiced. Great balance of textures and flavours- the squeeze of lemon really pulled everything together! Staff were friendly and efficient even though we went during a very busy time. Clearly very good at what they do. Great vibe inside- very modern and clean. They had the doors open so good temperature. Definitely visit if you are considering it!

BEST BURRITO EVER!! Hey beautiful people, I came here today with my mum and we had the best lunch ever. The service was immaculate! So speedy and quick! We just sat down and the most delicious coffees spawned out of nowhere, shortly after the most glorious burrito arrived and I was happy again. This is hands down one of the best burritos/wraps I have had in my life. I love Mad Mex and ever since they have departed from NZ I have been heartbroken, so thank you Revive for fulfilling me with that mexican dream once again. Couldn’t recommend this cafe more! Will definitely be back tomorrow Ariana xx

Best food in Wellington in my opinion because it is consistent, really nice quality, always cooked perfectly, beautiful coffee. House smoked fish used in the fishcakes which are delicious, and they know how to make perfect poached eggs every time. I'd rather eat here then any of the restaurants I've visited in Wellington in the past two years. You can have a nice glass of wine or beer with your lunch. The open kitchen and roastery really add atmosphere and love the industrial chic building. Having a sunny little garden courtyard is also lovely.

Chill place with great food and friendly staff. Was recommended this place and what a treat it turned out to be. A short stroll from Petone Train Station, tucked away beside Bunnings, The Warehouse, and all the other big stores, this little gem of a cafe sits quietly amongst it all and exudes a lovely calm. Bring your mates for a superb breakfast, a colleague for a coffee stop, the family for some lunch, of grab a bite whilst out walking the dog, it does it all, and it does it really well. If you’ve not been here and you’re passing by, stop in.
