Changing Menu with Variety - Edit
Fresh ingredients, a home cooked meal when away from homešMenu 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 wasnāt in our favour. Maybe next time? Worth checking out for sure! š

Healthy, delicious with variety - Edit
Huge selection changes daily. Thoughtful healthy plant based food that's packed full of flavour. Reasonable prices using ethically sustainable food and packaging practices š. 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 - Edit
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.

Nice! - Edit
I liked the food, it was yummy, the houmous is amazing!
Read moreI 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 - Edit
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.

Great but not accessible - Edit
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.

Good - Edit
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 - Edit
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!

Not just a salad bar - Edit
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. Youāll definitely find something you like.

Affordable lunch - Edit
Perfect if looking for multiple cold salad options but there was only the one hot option by 2pm. The tofu based alternative to a meat ball was still just about warm. Ordered this with one side salad and a bit of hummus. Tasted great for the price. Also enjoyed a carrot slice afterwards.

The perfect lunch spot - Edit
Revive is a bit of an institution in Auckland. Iāve been visiting for years and have a couple of their cookbooks. Always a great range of hot and cold options with a generous dollop of hummus.

Delicious. - Edit
Great range and always changing and super good value! Also if your a student you get a discount. Will say though that when ordering online. It can be hard to imagine what the dish will actually be like. I got things that I thought sounded like what I wanted but in reality, it was very different to what I imagined. But still delicious and filling.

Healthy heaven - Edit
Been there a few times for early/later lunch, it is a cornicopia of yummy salads, 2 "hot pots" and a savory "special" option of fancy names that change regularly, desert slices (not too sweet), smoothies and hot drinks (ex. coffee). Every time I enjoyed it. Can check the day's menu on website. #Veganuary
