Chris MillsJuly 17, 2015Everything is great! I'm particularly fond of the Green Goddess bowl and the Life Alive juice.
The food is great. Check out the basement Hide-A-Way... it’s a great space for small group meetings, or a great meal. They even have a kids play area.
Carrie BevisMay 30, 2016Very crunchy granola type restaurant with the best salad, wrap and smoothie selection.
Sophia HDecember 24, 2018Maca Malt smoothie was great. Light in chocolate. Grainy grittiness of cashew bits was particularly delightful.
Vibrance Alive is probably the best smoothie on the menu. Bee pollen makes it even better! This restaurant is a blessing to central square.
Ask the staff! They know their stuff and can give you suggestions for additions/substitutions for meals and smoothies. So tasty!
Luke BornheimerDecember 29, 2013Lentil soup was filling and tasty. Salads and full meals looked awesome and were flavorful.
Get the adventurer with CURRY MISO SAUCE. I've tried everything and this is the best!
Carolyn C.August 29, 2014Food is all super fresh and absolutely delicious. Service is much faster than the Lowell location.
Thierry RousseauSeptember 29, 2013Once more I had a beautiful meal there. This time I took the Adventurer and once more I can only praise the place.. Till next time :-)
Everything is great. The flourish alive smoothie with kombucha is weird and amazing.
Anit DasAugust 10, 2015Best vegetarian option in the city imo. I normally do the fool! Need to experiment more with the smoothies.
Not a fan of avocados, so The Rebel's the way to go. Get a Life Alive juice if you're feeling $$
The line can be huge. Call in your order and go straight to the 2nd register for pickup!
Paul BerensOctober 1, 2016Quote from my gf: "Man, if we had a place like this in San Francisco I would go every day."
Green Goddess is my favorite. Order demi portions to try two dishes!
Aleksandra ArcipowskaJune 11, 2019this is how i want to eat every day. it is delicious& clean & i love it!!!!!
Get The Rebel -quinoa, roasted beets, kale, carrots, tofu and a secret raspberry sauce. So good, healthy & satisfying.
Two DegreesJune 17, 2011Two Degrees bars are sold here! Buy a delicious food bar and give a medically formulated food pack to a hungry child. Is Good. Does Good.
Boston PhoenixNovember 12, 2010The road to Wellville by way of Life Alive means vigorous jumbles of steamed vegetables over creamy short-grain brown rice, sauces fragrant with garlic, ginger, and tamari.
Zachary BaumSeptember 22, 2015Very delicious food, even to a vegan skeptic. Wish it wasn't so humid in the restaurant.
Hallie Verrier SullivanApril 9, 2011got the love alive smoothie on a busy saturday. a bit watery and not super cold, but everything was fresh and healthy amd the staff was super friendly even with a crowd
The Coconut Alive smoothie is a must! Try it with a green tea shot. Yum!
Jared WilburDecember 29, 2017Loveeeee this place, stumbled upon it one day exploring the city. And I’m so glad I did!
Kiran BhattaramSeptember 28, 2014Adventure demi Burrell Will fill you up with delicious cheese, kale, and sesame ginger goodness
Try the Lust Alive smoothie. I had it with ginger and green tea boosters. So much love in a glass, best smoothie ever!
This place is fantastic. So far, everything I've tried here is delicious. I come in every morning for the Jive Alice juice.
Love alive + spirulina, flax and coconut oil tastes amazing and will make you feel so good!
Jenny MackintoshAugust 12, 2012Try the Emperor in a wrap with sprouted legumes instead of tofu. So delicious.
Morgan HenryJanuary 7, 2016Be ready for a wait, and then be ready for delicious that will make you feel good inside.
Eric LeistNovember 23, 2011About 80% of the customers come before or after a yoga class, just bring a yoga mat so you fit in.
Andrea AndoApril 10, 2013The beauty of The Lover, The Fool, The Seeker, The Poet... go for whomever you feel you are that moment.
Everything is so good that its hard to try new things.
Try the Adventurer wrap! It's unreal. And a nice little treat on a hot day is an Elvis Alive smoothie! (Or two)
Bowls here ROCK. Recommend the green goddess bowl and some boocha 👌
