    food is amazing and prices are great!
    Looks like a dive but anything but!
    Shop at Christine's when you're done eating a scrumptious meal.

    My boyfriend and I are regulars here, we dont even have to order our beverages anymore and the staff doesnt give us menus. We are on first name basis with most of the fabulous and friendly staff.This place is always busy, and always full of happy people. In the summer it gets very hot in here, and you sometimes have a little long of a wait for your food....but its worth it! Fresh ingredients, prepared to order, with love.

    A few of our favorites are:
      the breakfast club: three peices of french toast layered with bacon, sausage, ham and egg just like a casual lunch club and syrup for dipping!
      The Huevos Rancheros: The spice blend on the rice is perfect I keep going back for more, after im already too full. With poached eggs and andouille sausage...yum.
       The Breakfast wrap: not burrito, but wrap. Very simple with eggs, bacon, cheese, avocado and spinach...perfect balance with homemade salsa on the side!

    Its a once a week jaunt down the road, to our favorite breakfast place. If it was open on our days off, we would be here even more!

    This place is great for breakfast and lunch. My husband does not care for it too much because the place is small and at certain times in the summer can be very hot. But it was all worth it to drag him out (and sitting through whatever qualms he may have) and have a yummy meal there.

    I have been there for breakfast about 6 or 7 times and lunch twice. We went there for breakfast last week and as usual it did not disappoint. The quiche of the day was delicious! and the homefries I have been told are the best in town (by my husband!). For my breakfasts I usually sub the homefries for a cup of fruit salad with an upcharge. It is worth it! The fruit salad here are the BEST! I cannot emphasize it enough. If you love fruit get the fruit bowl here! At first site you will know how delicious it is. Please see the picture I have uploaded.

    Last month I had lunch there as it was amazing. My sister and I shared a bowl of cold watermelon-raspberry soup. YUMMY! Was kinda like a thin smoothie but with a spice kick. I had the Asian style pork burger with ginger soy mayo and she had a tuna melt. All of it was great. What I love so much about this place it that the menu has such great variety and are the the run of the mill sandwich and fries. They really stand by presentation, quality and flavors...all for a great price.

    Thankfully, I live far (South Berkshire County) from this place. Otherwise, I'd gain a ton of weight.  

    Simply said, their food is delicious and their staff is top notch.  My waitress was great - and her personality was awesome.

    I got a Southwestern omelet which was delicious (many different flavors with the spinach, bacon, avocado, sour cream and cheese) The raisin toast was delicious and the home-fries were amazing.  All for $10 with a coffee.  Well worth it.

    So go check this place out.  While you do that, I'm off to the gym.  (PS - they do have healthier options)

    I've been very lucky had had a chance to travel for work. Not only does it give me a chance to see new places but i get to enjoy then on Per Diem. with all my travels I would skip free meals and eat Reva's all day long.

    With family in town I have gotten to go there 2 times (so far). Each time I have gotten the daily breakfast specials. This last time was an egg sandwich on challah bread with amazing home fries. before that was a puff pastry stuffed with shrimp, a mushroom cream sauce and eggs.

    Although if I ate either one of those every day i would have a heart attach by the end of the years. I would love to try and would die happy.

    The menu items are more basic but with the same style. With coffee you can spend $10 per person on breakfast but well worth the treat! I'll be there next week who joining me?

    Having lived in the area for three years now and tried a number of places for breakfast, Cafe Reva is my absolute favorite.  Everything on the breakfast menu is delicious, but I would particularly recommend the heuvos rancheros.

    Depending on what time you arrive and the day of the week, you may find that you have to wait for a table.  The weekends are particularly busy after 10:00 a.m.  However, the food is entirely worth the wait.

    Breakfast items range from $5-$12.  I think coffee is $1.50 with one free refill.

    Good atmosphere, great food, and very fair prices for the quality.

    Local breakfast place! Woohoo!

    We had the waffles with banana pecan caramel sauce. Very tasty! The bacon was superb. Side of has was different from other places and surprisingly tasty.

    Service was very friendly.

    The only thing that got to me was $4 for a side of hash which was perhaps 4 tablespoons worth. That's way too expensive for that much.

    Oh, and the bathroom needs a serious cleaning and fix up.

    Hands down best 12 grain pancakes w/berries going - I think about them frequently, at breakfast time, at work, at lunch time, at home, at dinner time, at the gym, while I'm out... they're memorable.  I only wish Reva's had a little more air circulation in the warmer months; then again sweating off some water weight before stuffing your face probably isn't a bad idea...

    If you are anywhere within a 50 mile radius of Cafe Reva you have to go! It is a destination! Last weekend was my very first Cafe Reva experience and every morning since that day I have been very disappointed by my breakfasts. I want another slice of the crunchy on the outside, sweet and gooey on the inside berry stuffed french toast. Or just a few more of the slightly seasoned crispy home fries. I can't wait to go back and sample more of their creative and oh so fresh offerings.

    Tip: Make sure you make it in before the church crowd if you want to get a table. And if you are VERY lucky Ms. Reva herself may even make an appearance.

    Really great breakfast!  Eggs many different ways. Big omelets that all have creative add ins and sides.  Stuffed French toast and waffles, pancakes, fruit, yogurt, cereal, coffee.  

    Options to make your own creations when it comes to eggs. Also have a great, unique lunch menu. They serve breakfast along with lunch!

    Always very busy, so you might have to wait 10 mins or so.  Definite hot spot for after church crowd.

    Great service. Only had to wait 2 min for a table to clear. Amazing food. French toast was awesome. My wife had a cheese omelet that had excellent flavor and was a huge portion. Prices are reasonable and I left full but not busting at the seems. Thanks to all the other yelpers for recommending this place.

    The look of this place is so misleading.  As you walk in, it looks like just another cheap breakfast joint.  My husband commented that we shouldn't expect any surprises on the menu.  Was he ever wrong.  Not only were they able to accommodate our large party of campers, but the menu was truly impressive.  It included the typical fair of course, but deviated with items like stuffed french toast, gingerbread streusel with baked peaches, portobello mushroom sandwiches and much more.  One star off because the place was so warm, but definitely worth a trip.

    Top notch as far as greasy spoons go.  The counter service was delightful and my waitress Krystal was sweet and attentive. You can feel the good community vibe here. I had two eggs over easy with sour dough whole wheat toast, sausage and home fries. It came out in a jiffy and the eggs were just right. The home fries were off the hook good, I'm positive they crisp them in animal fat, mmmmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmmm! The sausage was large, split in two and more Keilbasa style than breakfast sausage which I liked. I did not consume but observed beautiful fruit bowls being served and the "sweet" breakfast fare looked fantastic. I did not indulge because I couldn't afford a pancake coma at the moment. I inquired and they do have real maple syrup available for a fee, which is essential (wish there wasn't a fee...). Lastly, the stool height was perfect for the counter top which made the ergonomic eating experience so much better (a major pet peeve of mine is when seats are two low for tables)

    I may consider moving to western Mass. just so I can eat here every day. It's that good. The quality of the food was really outstanding. It is a hidden gem really. When we walked in I figured it would be the regular old breakfast diner, which is fine, but i was so wrong. We ordered so much food because it was too hard to choose. Lots of options and lots of vegetarian options. One thing we got was the fruit/yogurt/granola combo and the fruit was fresh and delicious. Everything was delicious really. Waffles are out of this world. Excellent service too. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area!

    Just had yet another amazing meal at this great restaurant. It looks like nothing from the outside, but the food is CIA quality. We started with a sweet potato soup that was like candy. I had the rice cakes and asparagus. My friend had a pork burger. Capped by a sinful New Orleans style pie. I won't eat for a week. Highlight of the visit--Reva was our waitress. She is 8 and very good at her job.
