Comfortable, eclectic atmosphere with many interesting details, books, art, colors. The grain bowls are quite generous portions and have perfectly balanced flavor/texture/temperature. I hadn't known how delicious these buddha bowls could be! Can't wait to return. read more

I brought my dad who is not a fan of foods that consist of mainly vegetarian and vegan options to life life for the first time. As always, the employees are so kind and welcoming. Everyone radiates such a positive energy. The inside is so Zen and comforting. I got the innocent bowl and it was amazing ! It was very flavorful and filling you can split the bowl for two meals in my opinion . If you're ever not feeling well order anything off the menu you will immediately feel nourished and energized . My dad who only eats dishes with meat , got the chickpea wrap and liked it!!! we sat outside, soaked up the sun and had another great experience at life life Lowell. I'm so happy to see that more locations are opening up and I'm curious and excited to try the new location in Burlington!! read more

Life Alive Organic Cafe - Lowell - Innocent - Vegetarian Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

I ordered lunch here via a catering service. I have to admit I was skeptical that there would be limited high protein options, but there's some decent options on the menu to help you hit your macros. The food is packed with flavor and the portions are perfectly sized for a lunch. I can't talk about the actual restaurant's atmosphere since I never stepped inside. read more

the food- excellent as always! The person who took our order- this is the 2nd time dealing with this person- no smile, no politeness, just cold stare AND gave us smirk when we tipped only 10%. sorry hun, I normally tip good BUT im not going to kiss anybody's ass ... if you dont want to work with people go work sonewhere else... read more

Food was amazing! I had a bowl and my husband had noodles-- both were delicious and filling. The atmosphere is fun ... lovely art, plants in a bathtub, knickknacks to look at if conversation runs dry. read more

Food: Avocado Chocolate Mousse is my favorite thing ever, SO yummy. I love their wraps as well, they are so warm and filling (good breakfast)! Service: Food is always fast, managers were really friendly as well. Ambiance: Cute, old store. Definitely a different vibe to the Life Alives in the city, but it's cool to see a location out in Lowell! read more

This visit was my first disappointing visit to Life Life Organic. I usually eat at the one on Boylston but we are in Lowell for a tournament. The açaí bowl was barely full and the açaí was frozen. My Buddha bowl was 90% grain and 10% everything else. So disappointing and a waste of money. We will not be back. read more

What a gem in Lowell! Very reasonably priced with an eclectic ambiance and prompt service. FYI: it's a pain getting a stroller up the stairs but we powered through! My husband and I were staying in nearby Pelham and popped by a few times. I did not care how cold it was outside, I was determined to order that vanilla cold brew during every visit :). I don't know how they did it, but it tasted like a subtle not too sweet banana split. The Mediterranean wrap was also amazing. They didn't offer falafel at the Lowell location, but make no mistake.. the crispy chickpeas are just as delectable. I wish there was a Life Alive near us! read more

Food is so good that you don't notice the lack of meat. Salads have a great variety of flavors and textures. They always have some sort of seasonally-appropriate offering, which is a great excuse to come back. The lattes are really good; they have some flavors that you can't find anywhere else (turmeric is better than you'd think). read more

Love the salads here - so flavorful and filling. My favorites are the living Caesar and avocado greens. The living Caesar has a rich cashew dressing while maintaining a delicious cheesy tasting Caesar flavor. It comes with crunchy chickpeas, capers, and cashew Parmesan. The avocado green salad has the encrusted avocado on top of pickled onions, romaine, cucumber, and corn with a tasty tomato vinaigrette. I don't like olives so usually replace that with tomatoes instead. The soups here are on the thinner side, which I don't mind. I had the cauliflower soup, butternut squash, and vegan chili. The vegan chili was really flavorful and had beans, tomatillos, and corn. They're still nice options since it doesn't leave me totally full and can enjoy a salad. I also ordered a juice and smoothie - neither are very sweet but that works for me since I prefer tasting the ingredients it's made of! Nice staff and definitely a lunch rush. It's nice to come off the lunch hour to enjoy the food more leisurely. read more

I can only write about the juices since that's what I've been getting from there and I can say it's a pretty good place to get them since there is none around the area that does it fresh. read more

Overall score 3.8 out of 5 This is an old vegetarian place. The food is OK but personally, I prefer to have meat. Overall, the breakfast burritos were pretty flavorful. Cold brew was OK. Location is cool Staff is friendly Personally, not a place I would go back to overall it's OK. read more

I've been coming here for 8 years and while the food is still good other aspects of the experience are slipping. Please bring back the iced water dispenser. Please!! It was such a nice touch and great looking. Just posting up 2 bottles of Luke warm water is not cutting it. Similarly I continue to miss the large Buddha painting that made the space such a vibe. Very haphazard now and I don't understand what happened. read more

I ordered delivery so I can't say much about the service but the food on the other hand was amazing. We got the rainbow and green goddess. Amazing flavors with every bite. The downside was that there wasn't a lot in the bowl, wish there was more but that could be cause I ordered for delivery. Good place for healthy foods. I would like to go there in person to see how the shop is. read more

Amazing even diehard carnivores will love the choices available at this eclectic eatery just across the street from the New England Quilt Museum. Caution for those sensitive to spice, the Southwest Sol has raw jalapeños- seed and all! Lavender lemonade was define and the hummus plate has a wonderful garnish of baked chickpeas that added a little crunch. Will definitely visit again next visit. read more

Its been a while since I have visited this location, and my last meal at life alive was about 1.5 yrs ago in Salem, MA. However, I used to eat at the Lowell location regularly. Unfortunately today I learned that the menu has changed. Many of the excellent bowl options have disappeared from the menu and the demi portion is gone. I would purchase 2 items If I could get a demi bowl and would spend more $$ but I instead now will have to get just one big bowl. The Emporor bowl, Lover and other options are gone. One person in our party literally cried when her favorite (emporer) was missing. She tried to "make one work" but it wasn't right. The worst part of the experience was that alll the veggies in the Rainbow Harvest Bowl were overcooked. My daughters Green Goddess Bowl- which is her regular item also had much overcooked veggies, the sauce was too thick and blobbed on top with an avacado segment on top that looked - ugly and bad. What has actually happened to the nice flavor of the looser flavorful dressings? Why are the veggies soft instead of gently cooked to bright color with more flavor, al dente? Everything about life alive used to taste fresh and look fresh and bright. This was a very different and disappointing experience. I would love to know if this was an off day, a poor prep/cook or if this is what it is now. read more

I love the feel of this place--a warm and welcoming staff that seems to care about its mission. You won't find meat here; however, you may find a new affinity for power foods. I've come twice and haven't been disappointed with any options. My favorite so far has been the teriyaki shiitake, which was bursting with umami flavor from the mushrooms and really came together with the teriyaki flavor. This is a great place to enjoy a wholesome meal not offered by many places. I will be coming back! read more

I love life alive. I love takeout without the guilt. Your meals are always delicious, filling, and satisfying!

This is my most favorite place in the whole world, after home ofcourse. I have been to their 2 locations so far many times and this place never disappoints. I have drove to Cambridge sometimes just to have food from here and I am not even kidding. So I think I can write a book on this place but I would not bore fellow yelpers with my essay. Here is what I like: (MOSTLY EVERYTHING) Based on the location you go to the menu changes so make sure you check and order before you head there. We ordered Rainbow Harvest and the Adeventurer bowl, love alive smoothie and matcha hot latte with oats milk. The food as usual was amazing, filling, clean and just simple yet flavorful. The best thing about eating here is you don't feel crazily full but at the same time your heart is satiated. Personally I love the adventurer more than the Rainbow harvest as I love the sesame ginger Nama sauce. But I would eat anything here even if they start having meat only and that's a big deal for someone who has never tried meat in their life. I also absolutely love their green legumes, tofu, beet, corn and avocado. You might wonder what's so different about all these veggies at Life Alive. I would like to tell you the food has LIFE here. Each morsel is so flavorful and none of the items overpower the other. The matcha coffee was so so good with all natural ingredients ofcourse no sugar and the smoothie had no overpowering ice cubes in it (no ice cubes in fact) which I love. Would definitely recommend anyone to come and try this place. Hope they open one in NJ/NY AREA so that I can go live here. Lol. This is one of the few places which did not compromise on their taste post covid! Visit this gem of a place fellow yelpers and share some love! read more

The service was awesome my server Jaylynne was awesome. Restaurant needs a little work as far as ambiance is concerned. I had a mango slush that was ok. I had Greek tahini that was tough to swallow. There was something about the salad that's very tangy and made my tongue itch. I love a good salad and this salad wasn't satisfying. read more

I was visiting the quilt museum and found this place right across the street. As a beverage girly, I was super excited! and ended up ordering a Betta Carrotene, Iced Mexican Chocolate, and a Watermelon Cooler. They were so good it made me glad I don't have a cafe near me, otherwise, all my money would be spent on lattes and juices. For my meal, I ordered the Green Goddes Bowl. Filling and comforting, it tasted like something I'd make at home. Next time I'm in Massachusetts I'll definitely be keeping an out for a Life Alive Cafe. read more

got the açaí bowl and smoked maple latte delivered. açaí bowl was delicious, one of the best i've had. the base was nice and firm and the coconut flakes tied the berries together (opted out of the chocolate bits). smoked maple latte was also amazing. got the full flavor of the smoked salt and maple syrup without the latte itself being very sweet. read more

hungover asf and probs still leftover drunk. For some reason I gravitated towards life alive cafe. The atmosphere is very granola earthy crunchy and rustic. I think it's very welcoming. I got the super berry açaí bowl and it was really smooth. Presentation was pretty too. The vanilla cold foam cold brew was good too. I think everything here tastes fresh and you see it being made. I come here often and usually get avocado chocolate pudding or their chocolate that just melts in your mouth. The avocado pudding sounds intimidating but honestly it's just like chocolate pudding. read more

I LOVE life alive... I have been coming here for at least 4 years. I always get the adventurer bowl *drool* BUT let me tell you.... in the last year or so... it's gotten meh. What once was an enjoyable, CONSISTANT bowl is now a "hit or miss" with mostly misses. Recently my bowls are FULL of stems, with hardly any of the "veggie". Kale leaves are less than the kale STEMS. It is AWFUL. The same thing goes with the broccoli! This bowl has turned from 2% stem to about 70% stem in comparison to the actual veggie. Also... there is supposed to be a cheese/something sauce in the quinao, but more than half the time they don't put it in there anymore. I would order here once a week, now I order here once every few months... always with the same disappointments. PLEASE go back to how you USED to make things!! read more

Nourishing delicious food that helps you feel good about what you're putting in your body!

This review is not a slant on Life Alive... I love the food and people, and em thankful that Lowell has it. If you have not had it, please go and your body/mind will thank you! That said, it boggles my mind how this business (Lowell location) has been around for a good while now (10 years yet)? And still can't handle a lunch rush like a proper shop (30+ minutes for a wrap, and the woman across from me must have waited at least that for a quesadilla). It has to be intentional at this point. It literally boggles the mind. I would honestly love to get behind the counter there and understand if that's the way it has to be, or if they just refuse to figure out how to run efficiently. There is a perfect picture that encapsulates the operational mindset here (I will post it too). There is a food pass counter halfway down the counter that is too high on the service side. So tall that some of the servers can't adequately reach customers food or see what each dish is. The solution? A wooden block that servers (and from what I saw today, customers too) step up onto to reach the food, then stepping back down to go serve it. It is hilarious, and perfectly Life Alive-esque. But if you owned that business, wouldn't that give you workers comp anxiety? read more

Always love the food and ambiance at Life Alive. Great people and never a long wait for our order.

I wrote an email to the email address accordingly. Similar experience to the one I had in person at the store, no response at all. Not sure if it was an automated one??? Again, the food was below average and not great for the absurdly high price point. Also the wait time did not reflect the quality or amount of food given. The staff does not provide great ambiance or a welcoming experience at all. read more
