Revival Cafe — Restaurant in London

Revival does lovely hot drinks, a nice selection of sandwiches on all kinds of different breads. The desserts are the best! A fantastic range of muffins, croissants, tarts and cakes.

I picked up the Italian panini which is pesto, vegan mozzarella and tomato. I toasted it in the oven at home and enjoyed it for lunch.

The spinach borekas are amazing in the oven too. Soft flaky filo pastry stuffed with spinach. They also have pasties in lots of flavours.

The blueberry jam croissant was not too sweet but the icing sugar on top made it sweeter. It was kind of wholewheat but fluffy, flaky and properly filled with jam!

The rocky road is fantastic! The top layer is a more solid chocolate. Then it has a soft crunchy biscuit, marshmallow and Glacé cherry, chocolate base. I really love the addition of the cherries!

Their Instagram is a bit quiet but the shop was thriving when I visited! There were a few seats left and lots of friendly dogs chilling out with their owners!

Free parking outside for 30 minutes which is great as there's always a space somewhere and it's long enough to grab a takeaway. Next to the station. Clean bathroom there too which is appreciated when you have travelled a bit to get there! :) everything is spotless. If I am even slightly nearby for something I try to swing by to pick up a few treats. You really don't need to be vegan...

I’ve been coming to this Ealing café for a few months now, and it’s quickly become one of my favourite places in London. In a city that can sometimes feel a bit impersonal, this spot stands out for its genuinely friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere.

There’s a real sense of welcome here, whether you’re grabbing a coffee to go or settling in with your laptop for a few hours. The staff are always approachable and seem to have a knack for making everyone feel at ease. Here, the team dishes out as many hugs as they do coffee. Every time I walk through the door, I’m greeted like an old friend, and I leave feeling lighter and happier than when I arrived. It’s the kind of place where conversation flows easily, but you can also just enjoy the background buzz and get some work done in peace. Very grateful to found this hidden gem and I couldn't...

Best vegan café in London, period. The pistachio croissant was sweet-crunchy heaven with a delicate pistachio filling. The oat milk latte was made to perfection, the roast, the flavour profile? Other cafés could never, not even on their best day. The spicy teriyaki chicken (soy-protein) was creamy heaven, the focaccia was fresh and soft.

The sausage roll? A British classic done justice, the Cornish pastry was flaky, the “sausage” had all the flavour you expect. Greggs could learn a thing or two, on second thoughts, they could learn many things from Revival café.

10/10 would definitely recommend as you don’t often find cafés that are exclusively vegan and this well done. Will be coming back and spreading the word about this hidden gem in South Ealing! Other cafés are shaking in their corner-cutting boots but not Revival because not a corner...
