rev coffee house

...two selections were brewing that morning out of the thirteen rev offerings: an ethiopian and brazilian. a look at the chalkboards in the cafe or the front page of rev's website will provide you with a nice description of each of these beans, leading the customer to an informed decision for which suits better for the occasion. i chose the delicious and flavorful ethiopia kochere..

such a great place! eclectic decor and patrons. huge parking lot in the back. great coffee!!!
service was friendly and the menu offers something for every taste!

i don't get it about this place. could it be the convenience? the espresso wasn't that great but i saw lots of raves about the drip. the customer service wasn't welcoming at all. in fact, on my first visit i stood in line which was long and the rather tall, blond woman who works there literally bumped into me as she went behind the counter. not so much as an excuse me or acknowledgement whatsoever. that was rude! i thought it was her but when i approached the register the younger lady on the register made no effort to smile or welcome me. she literally stared at me and waited for me to address her. it's a terrible approach to an customer. then when i selected the prompt for no tip her facial expression showed me everything i needed to know. i was considering trying them on a weekday during lunch hour since i did visit on a sunday. some others comment on the busyness of the place but why would i spend my hard earned money with a business that doesn't appreciate me?

i've come here to work and eat on a few occasions. the coffee is pretty good, the layout of the space is great, the parking is tight, but it works... my main complaint is the food, it's not consistent. i've had the cuban sandwich 4 times and each times it's been different. once it was cold but had toasted bread and unmelted cheese. another time it was nice and warm and perfect. once it had ham and turkey, should only have ham, while another time it didn't have the spicy mustard or pickles, just had meat and cheese. i will probably just stick with the pastries because those seem to be pretty consistently good.

silver comet blend. the best ever!!!

best coffee ever!. this is my favorite coffee and the quiche is delicious too! great music and fun atmosphere. favorite coffee to buy and brew at home is silver commit trail and they grind it perfect for my k-cup.

great coffee and hang out spot. i love rev. nice and courteous staff, great coffee, great environment.

koye

home away from home. i love this place. everyone is really friendly and laid-back. it's like how athens used to be before the giant economy meltdown turned it into a weird dickensian micro-model of the british class system ... the perfect place for temporary suburbanites trying to find a new coffee-house-home (or at least an interim one). thank you so much to the staff for making this place a real haven! i study here constantly and am delighted to have found it.

great atmosphere, good coffee.... i've been frequenting rev for awhile (but i'm new to urbanspoon)...i love the atmosphere and i enjoy the coffee. i do think that many of their roasts have the same aftertaste, like burned berries. i will continue to support them because the roasts that i do like i enjoy quite a bit , and i also enjoy their iced teas (especially the ginger peach).

great folks, great food, great coffee. love that smyrna has the best coffee house around. the folks at rev definitely take pride in their service. they know their customers and serve everyone with a personal approach. the food is great -- bread fresh, desserts excellent and the healthy options are plentiful. now if folks love the oily finish of starb*cks then they might not appreciate the coffee at rev. this coffee is custom roasted and has a velvety almost winey finish. i love good coffee, am a bit of a snob and like what rev is doing with their blends. they have great tea too. try it -- i think you'll like it.

oh, by the way, this coffee shop does a great job of supporting the community. groups are welcomed and encouraged to meet there and rev hosts some terrific art and music events too.

great atmosphere, great decor, ok attitude from employees, but the most important aspect is completely missing --- the coffees is nothing short of horrible and i mean horrible!!! this doesn't make much sense considering the brand and quality is superb but i completely take that back bc it makes prefect sense if you order it black then you will notice that you can see through it much more than a black starbucks coffee!!! uhh, total ly discussing!!! well, that is only of course if know anything at all ab fine coffee and the way it should taste and judging by other 4 and 5 star reviews on other websites... well sadly, it looks like the majority of the west smyrna population knows absolutely nothing about fine coffee of normal taste! i mean, rev might as well just serve all their customers folgers! lol! i mean, watered down quality coffee is just as bad if not worse! btw, it's just as cheap for the owner also! i live in west smyrna and all i've got to say is way too go west smyrnians! unfortunately it looks like our east smyrna rivals know way more ab good coffee than we do! if you really want to prove this statement wrong then *please* let the staff & *everyone* you know, that the coffee at rev is way too *watered down*! remember that if it weren't for us, then rev would close again so it's really not their rev, it's our rev!!! man, making us look real. stupid while they save money by using less beans on *our* coffee!!!

i like this place a lot! the sofa was extra comfy. the sandwich was very good, it had grapes inside and i can taste everything...meaning the veggies inside as well. this is definitely my new place doe studying and working.

nick the owner of rev is one of the nicest most genuine people you will ever meet. the coffee is incredible, it's definitely not your normal cup of coffee or espresso. nick actively seeks new and better roasters to support in his coffee house. if you love oatmeal cookies, rev's is one of the best i have ever eaten. i'll just moved from marietta, but i will for sure go back for a mocha and oatmeal cookie when i'm back to visit friends. thanks nick for the amazing experience.

this place is the ultimate coffe house. i'm one of the many regulars. they have live music on fridays that sometimes gets a little to load, but other than that it's great. ten stars for my friends at rev's!

great coffee with a cool atmosphere. what a wonderful break from the noisy starbucks vibe.

rev's the best !!!. there is no better place to feel "at home" than at rev. staff is friendly, coffee is fabulous, and the eclectic surroundings make anyone feel comfortable! if you just want to get a quick cup to go or you want to stick around for awhile, this is the place for you in smyrna!
we are rev fans, through and through!!
great job !!!
