Update early 2024
By mid February, a "closed until further notice " sign appeared on the door.
This was there for a few weeks, disappeared again, and it seemed that the cafe was sometimes re-opened again. Then it closed again.
Eventually they announced permanent closure on their website, sometime in May-ish.

Update - July 2023
After a total refurbishment, Revive has returned to Galway's cafe-scene.
Looking exactly the same on the outside, they've got new management (I think), a smaller cafe because space has been used to make a better entrance for the accommodation upstairs, and no outdoor dining patio.
But the lovely coffee, tasty cakes and excellent service are most welcome!
Days and hours are TBA: so far they appear to be closing by 1pm each afternoon.
Address: 35 Eyre St, Galway City
Update:
Revive closed permanently on Sunday day 22 April 2023.

But since 2010, they've settled back into the refurbished home-base in Eyre St, just across and down the road from Debenhams, underneath the Eyre Square Townhouse apartments.
It's a sister-cafe to Revive in High/Cross St, a little more up-market and refined without tourists buying ice-creams.
The outdoor patio area at the rear was added a little later, and provides handier access for people shopping in O'Tootle's hardware or Debenhans / M&S:
Nice coffee, friendly helpful staff, and a particularly wickedly chocolate rocky road at a very reasonable price.
