Revel Caffe in Stratford is a great spot to visit for a pick-me-up. The coffee is excellent, with a unique taste that can't be found anywhere else. The pastries are also delicious, with croissants that are as close to Paris perfect as you can get. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with plenty of seating inside and out. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the free wifi is an added bonus. There's also a great selection of novelty items from local artists and eco-friendly companies. The only downside is that they don't accept debit or credit cards from American customers, so it's best to bring Canadian money. All in all, Revel Caffe is a great spot to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee and a tasty pastry.

First time in, on recommendation from a Stratford local. I ordered my usual coffee drink: americano, with just a hint of vanilla (1 pump or so). "We don't put vanilla in our americanos" Not because they don't have it - they do. I was told this was a "business decision". Rather brusquely told - this was not a decision they were willing to broker any discussion over. I got a better explanation from the barista: they want people to enjoy their superior americanos (not her words, but that's the sentiment). We ordered drinks anyway, not wanting to make too big of a fuss. But my partner and I both had to agree not to keep spinning on such a weirdly confrontational interaction. We went to Livery after and when I ordered my drink the answer: "Absolutely!" That, to me, is the better business decision. Make people their coffee the way THEY like it, not the way YOU want them to like it. I'll make my own business decision and (a) never go to Revel again, (b) leave this scathing review and (c) tell everyone this ridiculous story when it comes up. Which it likely will, as this was one of my first interactions as a new Stratford resident. A shame it was with such a petty coffee shop. Service: Dine in Price per person: CA$10–20
