Revelations Cafe

Revelations Cafe ReviewFrom the moment we walked into Revelations Cafe, we felt welcomed and at home. The owner, Robby, greeted us personally and shared the inspiring story of how he and his wife felt called to start the cafe. Their passion for creating a space that nourishes both body and soul was evident from the start.We decided to try the pumpkin pancakes, and they did not disappoint! My wife is gluten-free and couldn't stop raving about how these were the best gluten-free pancakes she's ever had. As someone who doesn't follow a gluten-free diet, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious they were--fluffy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced.The cafe itself is spotless, spacious, and beautifully decorated, making it a comfortable and inviting place to enjoy a meal. It's clear that a lot of thought and care has gone into every detail.Revelations Cafe has won us over, and we're already planning to become regulars. If you're looking for great food, a warm atmosphere, and a place with a meaningful story behind it, this is the spot!

I really hate to leave bad reviews but I've been let down a few times now and it's time to say something. Today November 26, 2024, I made an order through Uber Eats. I ordered 2 bowls. One for lunch at work and one for dinner to bring home. The Philly one for lunch was very good. Thank you! However, when I got home to have my dinner, the Brussels bowl, left much to be desired. There were 12 very tiny halves of brussels sprouts on the bowl. That's only 6 whole pieces. I couldn't find or taste the sweet potatoes. That was a real let down! They were there though after I paid much closer attention. They were cut the same tiny size as the "bacon" bits and sprinkled on top together with the bacon bits. In fact, they looked just like the bacon bits. You couldn't even taste them because they were cut so tiny and there were so few of them. Sadly, I was looking forward to those darned sweet potatoes too! I doubt there was 2 tablespoons of them. I'm sorry but that's just unacceptable for a bowl that costs $16. Then, I imagine it was the sauce that was spicy because I wasn't expecting that at all. Spicy was no where in the description.A couple of months ago I ordered a figgy flatbread that didn't even have any fig on it and it was so small it was embarrassing and left me hungry at work. I ordered a Chai tea latte that day too but I got a regular coffee latte instead. I understand that food costs are high but your prices are very high. Please reevaluate what you'll are doing for the good of the customer.

I decided to finally try this place after two friends recommended it. Here are my thoughts after my visit:1. **Ambiance:** The atmosphere is very Christian, which felt a bit overwhelming for me, but to each their own.2. **Menu:** I found the menu confusing and hard to read. It could definitely benefit from being simplified and cleaned up.3. **Celiac Disease Awareness:** I have celiac disease, which is why we chose this place since they offer gluten-free options. However, the staff member taking my order didn't seem familiar with what celiac disease is. If you offer gluten-free food, your entire staff should be trained to handle allergy-related questions. It's important to reassure guests that the kitchen takes necessary precautions, like changing gloves and using clean utensils. For example, when I asked if there was a separate toaster for the gluten-free bread, she didn't know and had to ask someone else.4. **Food & Price:** We ordered two gluten-free avocado toasts (one with an egg), a kids' meal, and a juice, and our total was around $60. I found this price to be extremely high for what we received. For comparison, Crafe Kafe in St. Pete, a 100% gluten-free restaurant, offers more food for the same price. The meal was underwhelming, with soggy bread (I'm pretty sure they use Udi's gluten-free white bread). I recommend switching to Canyon Bakehouse bread, which I believe is the closest to tasting like real bread. Also, the avocado toast came with only half an avocado on two slices of bread--please use a whole avocado for this dish.Overall, I'm happy to see a café in Lutz offering gluten-free options, especially since the gluten-free dining scene in Tampa Bay is limited. While I'm glad we gave it a try, it's not a place we'll return to. I'll stick to Craft Kafe in St. Pete for my gluten-free breakfast fix.

Delicious vegan breakfast sandwich to kick start my day! Friendly service and cute interior.

My first time eating here. It's closed on Mondays. The woman at checkout was very nice. Very friendly. They have plenty of gluten free options. My meal was yummy, healthy and very nicely presented. The inside is casual, kind of like a little coffee shop. I really like the coffee they use for their latte. It was a nice first experience.

I loved the fact that they are a Christian cafe so decided to head over here after church. Was a little disappointed to see that it is a vegan and gluten free cafe, but that's a personal thing. We still stuck around and got the pancakes. They were gluten free but were still pretty good, they had a different texture and were more dense but that's because of the gluten free. They have meat substitutes and egg substitutes I believe. On the tables they have a notepad to write any prayer requests and you can read them and pray for people who visited before you. It was nice to try out but I wish there were at least some non-vegan options.

I have seen revelations Café, but had never been. Had some family visiting from out of town, read great reviews, and decided to give it a shot. It was steady, but not crowded at least on a weekday. Staff was exceptionally friendly, and explained a lot of detail of different options. So much so that one of our group decided to try their omelette made with vegan eggs which are made from mung beans. The coffee and latte were very good as well. If there's two of you, it's definitely a good deal to get the 20 ounce and split it. You have your choice of almond milk, oat, etc. at no extra charge. The place is very relaxed, you feel you can just have conversations and feel fairly private. They have a prayer wall where you can put notes up, and they actually have a prayer room where you can pull the door closed and have a quiet seat to yourself.For those of you that follow Bobby Parrish, this place would be BobbyApproved! For those of you that have no idea what I'm talking about, he breaks down a lot of products and what ingredients are in them that are not good for us. Revelations café uses very high quality products and they make a very delicious meal! I had the blueberry pancake carpenters breakfast with regular eggs, Pasture raised, nice orange color yolk, sweet potato fries are delicious, and the pancake was fantastic. The mung bean greek omelette was a winner !! it looked delicious and I will be trying that "with regular eggs for me", but looked delicious. Everyone was thrilled with their meal, the service was relatively fast, and just knowing that you were getting high-quality ingredients, no seed oils Or other crap just makes it that much better. Of course it makes it that much better because it taste delicious as well! Even if you get a breakfast that has toast on the side, it is sprouted bread! That's fantastic! And much appreciated. Get a side of the maple butter, honestly, you won't hardly use any syrup on your pancake!If you're doing some sort of smoothie with a protein powder, they are using Orgain organic powder, just an fyi lol. Overall, I am super impressed with this place and will be back. Having a wholesome well-made meal with quality ingredients is just a winner! All their baked items have the ingredients listed right on the window. If I had anything that was less positive to say it would be that the cupcake I got to go Was a little dry ... that being said it was made with almond flour, and I know almond flour can dry out super easy! And it still had a great flavor! But if you get a baked item, make sure you are used to almond flour or coconut flour,and read the ingredients listed. Some people do not do well with the texture of almond flour, so just be aware of that before you make any judgments.I will be back again, and have to try the fig and goat cheese flatbread.

Great clean food!! This is the place for tasty gluten free vegan options hard to find when eating out. The staff were welcoming and informative. We will definitely be back.

Such an awesome change of pace when looking for a new brunch spot in the North Tampa area..It was a breath of fresh air to see such an awesome health option packed menu as well as some tasty coffee drink options. The owner was on hand to take our order with a smile and great customer service. We ended up getting the Greek omelet which was packed with the right amount of veggies and super tasty feta cheese. The fresh brew coffee topped it off and complimented my breakfast perfectly. They have a quiet/ prayer room in the back which is perfect for those who want that perfect place to reflect and take things in.. They also have a prayer wall which was nice to see prayers and thoughts from other as well as the change to write something for someone else who may come along and need some cheer... all in all I am so glad we stopped in and I am sure we will be back in the near future... Amen..

Another amazing Yelp discovery! My fiancé and I were looking for a quick bite and this spot was perfect. The ambiance was lovely and the place itself is incredibly spacious. The owner was so friendly and walked us through the menu and his recommendations - we loved everything we ordered especially the Tofu Scramble and the Figgy Goat flatbread. The attention to detail and fresh ingredients used really make all the difference. Wish I lived in Tampa so I could eat here more often!
