Love love love this place :)

I've missed Revive since moving to Wellington, but while back up in Auckland today I stopped by for lunch and it was just as great as ever. I had the $15.50 small salad box and loved all the rainbow coloured nutritious options to pick from - and I bought one of their cookbooks too (50% off at the moment!) so I can cook some of their tasty foods when I'm back home. Great friendly service and a lovely welcoming environment to eat in. And 100% compostable packaging as a bonus. Highly recommend!

Buffet options 4 1/2

I got the macaroni hot meal with 2 salads. The potato salad and a mixed vegetable salad. It was really yummy. They have different dishes each day. The cheesy sauce was delicious.

I also had a can of almighty soda which I really liked. My partner enjoyed his meal as well.

Great place!

We are staying across the street and had to check it out. While checking out grabbed a brownie. Very good!
Came back for dinner and they were cleaned out from what there was in the morning. You can see my pictures what I had. All very good. My fav items were pretty much everything but the one that was not a 5 star was the Iranian Lentil & Potato Stew.
Friendly employees, huge selection of food, good dessert and lots of packaged treats and snacks. Hopefully we will get here again.

Revive Cafe

I had the hot Indonesian chick pea satay with rice, 2 sides and hummus. $20.50 NZD / £8.87 GBP. Delicious food and super service. free tap water. Kombucha only $5 NZD. I also got a take away salad for the evening because the cafe closes at 4pm.

Amazing salad selection to accompany your main meal choice. It only takes a few
minutes from walking in until you take your food to your table (or takeaway). The longest bit is choosing what to eat! Great staff. You can buy their cook books, there is about 10 to chose from.

Pros: Amazing fresh healthy food , Interesting choices of main and salads, Cookbooks with their recipes available

So lovely to see that all kinds of people have found this amazing restaurant. Every day they have a different meal ready, of which you can choose. It is delicious and healthy. The people behind the counter are also very nice.
They also sell granola and cooking books.

Pros: Nice vibe, Great and healthy food, Nice staff

Yummy, nice vibe, affordable

I got the hot box deal with the Dahl, rice, potato salad, and Vietnamese 'not-chicken' salad. All was really good and you get a good amount of each. The complimentary pea hummus was also very good. Only way to improve would be reusable trays rather than single use trays and cutlery, but other than that it was great. Love that everything is vegan so no need to worry about ingredients! All ingredients are also clearly labelled.

Pros: Good food, Range of options, Not too expensive

Cons: All trays and utensils are single use

Nice fresh healthy food

We love a good salad bar, the food was super tasty. Just a shame everything is served in single use boxes and wooden cutlery

Changing Menu with Variety

Fresh ingredients, a home cooked meal when away from home😄Menu seems to change weekly with plenty of new additions, with sweet choices as well. German potatoes and seasonal slaw were delicious! Would have liked to try the hot cauliflower and spinach balls but the timing wasn’t in our favour. Maybe next time? Worth checking out for sure! 👍

Pros: All vegan , Changing menu

Healthy, delicious with variety

Huge selection changes daily. Thoughtful healthy plant based food that's packed full of flavour. Reasonable prices using ethically sustainable food and packaging practices 🙏. One of the original vegan food options in Auckland enjoyed by plant based and non plant based customers for many years. Thanks Revive for your many daily options.

Delicious all vegan

Everything is vegan. We had the special of the day with a creamy lemon sauce and salad. They also carry the owner's various cookbooks with easy to follow instructions. We selected #7 that features vegan cheeses (and lots more) and another with 30 minute meal plans. Quiet indoor seating and very friendly staff.

Pros: Nutritious vegan fast food, Many options and daily specials, Vegan cookbooks by the owner and pre-packaged food

Nice!

I liked the food, it was yummy, the houmous is amazing!
I think it is a little bit pricy for the size but that's probably it's in the middle of the city and you get a lot of different vegetables!

Nice, consistent, cheap

Great spot that always has something nice. The mains change regularly, but not drastically, the staff are great, and everything is yum. My only complaint is that they only do takeaway containers, even for dining in.

Pros: Yum

Cons: Only takeaway containers

Great but not accessible

Would give 5 stars if there was an accessible entrance somewhere. I use a wheelchair and am thankfully ambulatory so I was able to get out and my partner brought my chair up the stairs for me but others aren't able to do the same. Food was flavourful and filling and didn't leave me feeling slow and lethargic like most places. Prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food and staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was lovely. I also really like the section where they had food items like TVP for sale. I've never seen Himalayan Black Salt for sale in a cafe before and I wish I'd bought some. I'll definitely check back next time I'm in Auckland and I hope one day there will be an easier way to get in. In the meantime will still recommend to all of my abled friends.

Pros: High quality food, Great variety, Reasonable prices

Cons: No ramp

Good

I liked the food but it was a bit salty and not as good as I expected. The place itself isn't very inviting and also not super accessible to people with strollers or wheelchairs as there are only stairs here.

Fantastic lunch options

This is a sensational purpose-built eatery. The hot food is hot, the salads are cold, the prices are reasonable, and everything I tried was delicious and healthy to boot! I really appreciated having ingredients cards for every food option; even in a vegan venue, I prefer to know what I'm eating. Lastly, the value for money here is awesome. My massive lunch, as in the photo, was only $18.50! I reckon it was over 1 kilogram of healthy and tasty vegan food. Unbeatable!

Pros: Fresh and tasty, Quick, Amazing value

Not just a salad bar

Went to get a quick lunch and had their filo pie which was delicious. They have a hot dish which changes and then a huge selection of salads which are not just dressed mixed leaves - there was a roasted potato salad and a few with tofu in when I went. You’ll definitely find something you like.

Pros: All vegan, Changing menu and lots of options
