The ViewLondon Review
Nestled near the first level entrance of the Centre Court Shopping Mall, this branch of the growing juice bar chain has Wimbledon’s shoppers swarming round its colourful exterior like bees round a honey-based protein booster.The VenueThis Revive bar, like the other venues, is located in a shopping centre, acting as a pit-stop for those passing through who can’t help but halt for the intoxicating aromas, yet it is the only venue not to have stools, so expect to grab and go. Revive has certainly made its mark with its fashionably colourful approach: Bright greens, oranges and yellows provide an oasis of optimism in an otherwise drab mall.
The AtmosphereThere is no way of escaping the hustle and bustle of shoppers as they roll through the mall and the lack of chairs doesn’t help but the friendliness and efficiency of the manager and staff ensure that although your visit will be brief, it will, thanks to the combinations available, ultimately be a success.
The FoodAs well as a selection of natural bars and a basket of fruit, Revive also dish out a delicious hot soup which changes regularly. If the country vegetable soup is available, go for it. The appetising blend of fresh root vegetables provides a delectable and hearty lunchtime option continuing Revive’s policy of supplying the customer with fresh and natural ingredients that rewards the body as well as the mind. Soft, fresh wholegrain rolls are also available if you consider yourself a dipper. If the rewarding smells of mixed country vegetables emanate from the little barrel on the counter, you are strongly advised to grab a cupful.
The DrinkRevive have an inordinate amount of smoothies, juices, boosters, shots and cocktails so if you can’t find something to suit your desires, then you must be an extremely picky individual. The power smoothie of the Acai Rush with its beautiful blend of apple juice, grape juice, guarana, banana and the rich acai berry provides a magnificently deep yet refreshing hit. More refreshing hits can be found in Revive’s range of fruit smoothies including the marvellous Berry Blast, a satisfying blend of blueberries, strawberries and raspberry juice with apple juice and the all-important ingredient of frozen vanilla to add a delightfully sweet touch to the concoction.
If these suggestions are not to your taste there are simply dozens of options in the menu ranging from hot muesli breakfast combos and green tea offerings to energising cocktails and wheatgrass shots. Often the inclusion of a fruit in some smoothies seems pointless as other stronger flavours tend to eradicate them but that is not the case with Revive; the combinations are finely balanced.
The Last WordA triumphant addition to the Centre Court mall, Revive is a vibrant juice bar with healthy and nutritious infusions that Mother Nature herself would gladly chug.
