I first visited Life Alive Organic Cafe in Salem, so when I was back in Boston a couple of weeks…read morelater, it felt like a reliable choice for vegetarian options. My boyfriend and I stopped in for an early dinner before walking around the city. We happened to be visiting during a heat wave weekend, which made our plans a little challenging, but we still made it work. For dinner, I was hungry but not sure I had enough of an appetite for both an appetizer and a meal. I ended up ordering the tofu skewers anyway because they sounded interesting, and they came with peanut sauce. For my main, I ordered the mushroom shawarma pita, which included roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions, hummus, Mediterranean salad mix, shaved vegetables, herbs, harissa zhoug, and lemon tahini sauces in a whole grain pita. The pita was described as a low-calorie handheld, but it was packed to the brim. It looked beautiful, but I definitely could not finish it. I made it through one pita half and some of the filling from the second half before calling it quits. There were just a lot of flavors going on. I think it would have been easier to enjoy if the dish had focused on one or two flavor profiles instead of feeling like everything was packed into one pita. Overall, it was good, filling, and satisfying. I also had a kombucha with my meal, which was my attempt at trying to keep cool on a hot summer evening. If I go back, I'll probably keep it simple and order either an appetizer or an entree, because the portions are filling enough that I don't think I'd need both.

They have indoor and outdoor seating, a few charge points (which I was grateful for as it meant I would be able to go home later), and really friendly staff.

Fun fact, while I was enjoying a mango matcha in the South end my husband was enjoying one in dedham. It was unplanned.

The…read moreconcept is straightforward, salads, wraps, and bowls built around fresh ingredients with a strong focus on healthy options, and it executes that consistently enough that it holds up as a reliable go to rather than just an occasional visit. The menu covers enough ground that finding something worth coming back to is not difficult. The Kale Caesar is the standout order for me and delivers every time, well balanced and filling without feeling heavy afterward. The portions are genuinely generous across the board, and the option to build my own bowl gives me enough flexibility to work with whatever I am in the mood for. The ingredients feel fresh in a way that separates this place from most fast casual options at a similar price point, and the vegan and vegetarian options are substantial enough that they do not feel like afterthoughts tacked onto the menu. The staff at this location are consistently warm and friendly, which makes the whole experience noticeably more pleasant than your average quick service lunch spot. The line moves at a good pace even when it gets busy, which it does during the lunch rush, so arriving slightly outside of peak hours saves me some wait time if I am in a hurry. Seating inside runs on the tighter side and fills up quickly during midday, so coming prepared to eat outside or take it back to the office is worth considering on a busy weekday. Overall it is a dependable, quality option for a fast and genuinely satisfying lunch in the area.

The restaurant decor is modern meets Greek island and the staff were helpful. I tried the chicken bowl and ordered the zucchini chips. If you are looking for something healthy and veg heavy you'll like Greco. My only complaint is that one of the bowl ingredients was salty for my taste and I had them hold the olives so it wasn't the olives. Greco is worth a try if you want a reasonably priced meal that is quick and healthy.

As…read moreother reviewers have stated, the Pakistani/middle Easter lady who seems to be the owner is not that friendly as an order taker. However, the guys who make the sandwiches are friendly, obviously hard working, and more helpful. On one visit, one of them verbally took my order to get it started and then one of the ladies eventually came over and put it in the register later. The sandwiches are at least as good as Pot Belly and are better than Jimmy John's in terms of quantity and quality. On one visit I tried their Chicken Marsala. It liked like it was a frozen meal they microwaved, but it was pretty good, especially for a train station food court sandwich shop. Since food in the airport sux in Boston, I'd definitely recommend getting a sandwich here and take with to the airport for ur trip. Will definitely put up with the service to get the food here again when in town. Tip: There is a CVS nearby in the food court/station, getting drinks and chips from there rather than the Melting Sun is a better deal.

I placed a delivery order at Cosi Federal Street Boston for my family, and the experience was…read moreextremely disappointing. The order was marked as "delivered," but no food ever arrived. There was no handoff, no delivery photo, no signature, and no proof of completion. When I contacted support, the first representative claimed the driver "handed the food to me," which was simply untrue and not supported by any evidence. I was then told a refund could not be issued despite the lack of delivery. I escalated the issue and documented everything, but the process has been frustrating and dismissive. A basic non‑delivery should not be this difficult to resolve, especially when there is no proof the order ever reached the customer. I hope the company reviews its delivery verification and customer support practices, because this experience was unacceptable.

This is a super…read moreno-frills place that also does a bunch of seemingly random food like kebabs, shawarma plates, and pasta. I'm guessing drunk college kids go to town here. However, we are way past that demographic and simply went for some sweet crepes for breakfast. SO got the super crepe version of apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar crepe and chose ham and potatoes as his sides. I got a regular strawberry, banana, and Nutella crepe (i.e. no savory sides). The chef and (I assume) manager made them to-order and gave them to us at our table. These crepes were huge and stuffed full of filling. They used fresh pieces of fruit which were cut in large chunks. I really enjoyed my strawberry, banana, and Nutella crepe. The actual crepe had a nice soft yet chewy texture with a very slight crisp on the outside. I think it helped that my fruits were soft; my SO's crepe looked a bit unwieldy since it was full of large chunks of raw apple. I think for apples it would have been better to cook them down more. Overall I think this is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get type of place. Kind of like if you decided to make crepes at home, thought that would take a lot more effort than eating here.
