A great little spot! Had one of the best coffees I've had for a long time there today. My breakfast was hot and yummy. Check it out next time you're in Karori.

Great cabinet and menu selection to satisfy all. They make a good cup of Revive coffee. Quick friendly service, thanks team. I’m happy to find my go to cafe when visiting Karori. Adequate parking around the back.

Honest basic suburban cafe, standard cabinet food plus some options on blackboard. The decor is very basic. I only dropped in for a coffee while waiting for someone. "Large" flat white was enormous for a flat white, coffee quality was ok. Saw a huge bowl of French fries come out of the kitchen, looked so good, would have ordered some if only I had more time.

Lovely Chicken pie & good Flat White. Outside seating - but it was in the shade, so a bit chilly today. Fairly standard cabinet food, nice selection of slices.
