I stopped by Tuesday afternoon and there were a good amount of people inside dining in. Some people looked like they were also working. It's really big inside, which I wasn't expecting. It's also really clean and inviting inside. My sister recommended the glow time smoothie to me. It was really yummy. I will definitely be back to try some food. read more

Got a turmeric vanilla latte at life alive that I didn't quite enjoy. The concept of life alive is more "healthy" food and drinks and I think this latte tasted a little too healthy for me. I asked the barista which drinks were on the sweeter side because I enjoy sweeter drinks. She suggested this turmeric latte that she said was their most ordered drink. Unfortunately, the drink tasted purely like turmeric and milk and there was no taste of vanilla or any other sweet ingredients that were mentioned in the description. read more

Life Alive Organic Cafe - Salad Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Had a pleasant stop at the new Life Alive in JP. My first impression was that there was nice natural light, peaceful atmosphere, and plenty of seating. It can be hard to find a place that always has room to sit, and I think this location certainly has plenty. I got the brewed coffee and the breakfast hash. The brewed coffee was super convenient, there was a nice little coffee set up to serve yourself. The hash was pretty underwhelming, I didn't taste any potato or egg, and there was a heavy and overwhelming acidic taste. The tomatoes were pretty soggy as well. The staff was helpful. read more

This cute place is a short walk from Angell where we had to take our our dog three times last week. I got to try three different coffe/tea drinks all of which were amazing: 1. Iced vanilla tahini latte 2. Hot golden latte 3. Iced matcha latter These were seriously some of the best drinks I've had. Service was very helpful in selecting drinks and food. You order at the counter and get a number and can sit indoors or outdoors where they have a nice set up. The indoors is bright and clean. We also got a noodle dish that was described as Miso Tofu Ramen but was not quite what we expected flavorwise. It wasn't bad that seemed to have a little too much giner for a miso. The tofu on it, however, was very nice. I've gone to another Life Alive quite a bit (Lowell) where I got bowls of different types and it's they I prefer those to the noodles, but I'm pretty picky about my noodles. I would absolutely recommend this place if you are in the area or visiting Angell and have some time to kill. I think the iced vanilla tahini latte what's my favorite but they were all good and it's really too close to say. read more

Self service kind of place, where put your order, get a number, and there's plenty of water in glass bottles, glasses, utensils, etc. Pretty chill ambiance, wasn't super busy. Chili garlic noodles really hit the spot! You do get your money's worth, could easily eat half and save for later. Good amount of veggies and all at the appropriate balance. No photo from last time, but did have their spiced Chai shake and was really good, although bit pricey for what it is. read more

Life Alive Organic Cafe - Chili Garlic Noodles - Salad Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I had a good first visit to Life Alive! I tried the Super Berry Açaí bowl with a superfood fudge scoop. The coconut texture was nice, even though I usually don't like coconut. The strawberries were very cold, though, possibly frozen. Others had chili garlic noodles and spicy peanut noodles, which looked yummy with large portions and colorful ingredients. Everything is vegetarian, with lots of drink options. The space is cute, with outlets and free water, making it a great place to study. Service was fast, and you leave your dishes in bins by the door, with a compost bin nearby for leftover food. I got a free drink for signing up for rewards, though it may not always be available. I recommend signing up for the rewards program! read more

Stopped by to catch up with a friend before seeing more of what the Boston area had to offer. At first, I was kinda saddened by the protein options, but quickly realized this wasn't my typical lunch spot. After getting over getting over my want for bacon, I went with the Autumn Chopped salad. Before ordering, you'll have to grab a menu on the wall (detailed), or order from the wall menu behind the counter. Once you order, you'll be given a table number. If you want water, you'll have to grab it from one of two water stations in the restaurant. Everything else will be brought to you by the cashier/waitress. My salad was a bit tastier than expected. Pleasantly surprised, I devoured it within minutes. As a person that usually eats meat as a primary source of protein, I wished there was more protein on the salad, but sometimes taste overtakes want. As far as space goes, it seems to be a good spot to get some work done or have a meet up with a few people. At some tables, you share a seat back with the table behind you, so it can get interesting if you're eating behind a person that moves around a lot. Overall, not too bad! If you want a healthier option with some good flavor, this is the spot for you! read more

Outstanding fresh food - hands down the best in the area! My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic meal at Life Alive. I ordered the falafel bowl and she went with one of their salads, and both dishes were incredible. The flavors were vibrant, everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the portions were generous. What really impressed me was the quality of ingredients - you can tell they use high-quality, fresh produce. My falafel was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside, paired beautifully with their grain bowl base. My wife couldn't stop raving about how flavorful and satisfying her salad was. This is honestly the best restaurant in a wide radius. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the food speaks for itself. We'll definitely be back soon to try more of their menu. If you're looking for delicious, healthy food that doesn't compromise on taste, Life Alive is the place to go. Highly recommended! read more

The best healthy food chain in Boston! You'll forget about meat after experiencing their noodle bowls and their smoothies are out of this world with creative combos and high quality ingredients. The chili garlic noodles packed the right amount of heat and umami flavor that worked well with all the fresh veggies. There were a lot of mushrooms in the dish which threw off the ramen a bit texture wise but if you eat them separately it worked out ok. The stars were definitely the smoothies though. They had a special spooky pumpkin spice smoothie that tasted like a citrusy chai latte. It has a bit of spice to it but the added foam and chocolate sauce to make the spooky face balanced it out. We also got the peanut butter chocolate smoothie which was heaven without the guilt. Out of all the locations I've been to, this is the most beautiful one. The warm inviting space with gorgeous decor made it feel like you were experiencing sunset as we enjoyed their delicious bowls and smoothies. There was plenty of indoor and covered outdoor seating that can handle large groups and kids. Parking is limited to street parking though. Service was great. Everyone was super nice and we got our food and drinks within 10 minutes. read more

This is a take out review only. The place physically, seems clean, neat, with responsive staff. Food is promptly made. So there's that. I can't with the food. I just can't. I've tried a half dozen times. It looks good on paper, with all the right ingredients. Seemingly freshly made. But every thing I order seems to be criminally drowned in garlic. It's bananas. Every time , I seem to get a random amount of garlic, heavily weighted to "a bunch". So I don't know, Maybe its bad luck. but I'm done, crossing this one off. read more

Wanted to try this place out after waiting for it for most of the year. The decorations and interior are totally redone with bright and warm colors. There's plenty of space and seating, with booths and tables. There's outdoor picnic-table-style seating as well. We ordered and sat down, and grabbed our own mason jars and a glass water bottle. They also have diner-style sugar-shakers full of Nutritional Yeast, which I found pretty funny. Someone brought our food out pretty quickly, and it was yummy! My falafel bowl was tasty, and the falafel had a cirtusy flavor to it (timut peppercorn, perhaps). The Taco Verde bowl was also apparently good, and full of jalapeños. Food was well priced too. There were plenty of coffee/tea drinks, though we didn't get any - seems like an easy place to sit down and work, too. read more

Beautiful space to work or read a book. They also have a shaded outdoor space. Unfortunately the food was not great. My smoothie tasted very watered down and my noodle bowl was a 5/10. I would only grab a juice here because that's hard to mess up. read more

I live in Roxbury and me and my mother wanted to try breakfast here! Sunday 5/18/25 7:30an I got 3 Crispy breakfast taco and the Sunrise Breakfast Sandwich and for a drink I got the Watermelon Cooler drink in ice and the Lemon Honey Iced Tea! Both drinks were really good but the watermelon cooler was so perfect with the Watermelon, cardamom, fresh mint, refreshing it was like I was eating watermelon! The Iced black tea, fresh lemon, honey & ginger was good also the ginger taste stands out the most but that's not a bad thing, not to sweet just right blend. The Sunrise Breakfast Sandwich Roasted egg, Vermont white cheddar & alfalfa sprouts, on a sprouted grain & seed muffin with salsa verde!, was so so delicious the egg yolk was runny over easy. The grain & seed muffin was very good. Next I tried the Crispy breakfast taco with an over medium cooked egg. The taco shell was crispy and tasty! Want to come back and try lunch menu next I was very happy with breakfast. Also the bathroom was spotless very clean. Plenty of space for seating and a nice looking patio out front. The staff were very friendly and the Resturant was very clean and organized at the tables. read more

So nice. So clean. So beautiful. I went here every morning in my vacation to Jamaica plain

I......I'm speechless with how bad the Teriyaki Tofu bowl is. It literally tastes like kitchen scraps. This is supposed to be a warm bowl but everything is semi raw and has the weird taste of other flavors from the same knife being used to cut everything. I had to whip up my own sauce to make it tolerable. On the bright side the ginger crush drink is delicious. read more

Have both eaten in and done take out and both times food was exceptional! Inside is bright and has the ambience of a coffee shop (lots of people alone working on computers). Servings are very generous! read more

I love the breakfast sandwich and the juices are delicious ! Quick pick up service, too!

I'm still loving Life Alive. I used to frequent the one on Mass Avenue in Cambridge. I recently tried the one on South Huntington Avenue in Jamaica Plain and I was very happy. read more

Had a very tasty bit of food here. It's not cheap but it is tasty. The rainbow harvest is my favorite.

Life Alive is the best! Nutritious and delicious food, great earthy vibe, keep branching out and hope you open one in Plymouth soon.

We wanted to like the food as we got the salad. But the tofu was cold and not freshly made which was disappointing. The overall flavors of the salad didn't make it worth the price. read more

Food was delicious. The server got a highchair, cleaned it and delivered it to the table. Ambiance was soothing. Easy peasy transaction. Food was ready when we arrived. Bathrooms clean but required a PIN number. read more
