Life Alive Organic Cafe

The Life Alive is so.darn.beautiful. The setting is so aesthetic, with hanging plants, colorful cushions, and even a cozy hidden back room. Wifi is free and quick, which was perfect for getting work done.

The food, however, is a hit or miss for me. Love their green goddess bowl, but I ordered a Thai Peanut Sutra this time, which was just fine. The spicy sauce didn't have a lot of body to it (this sounds pretentious and tryhard lol)--but it just tasted spicy and didn't have much flavor besides the peanut. One of my friends had a broccoli wrap another time a couple years back, and it was literally just broccoli, egg, and cheese in a wrap, and it cost $10 (yikes). It looks like it's still on the menu for breakfast (greens, egg & cheese wrap), but it's now cheaper at $6.

In any case, I still really love and appreciate this café, just be aware that some dishes are so-so. I will still be coming back because of the gorgeous setting and healthy food.

This place has a great vibe. It was comfortably busy, and has a fresh eclectic decor.

The food came with minimal wait. Well, my wife's had a minimal wait (

Wonderful aesthetics and ethics. Fabulous spicy peanut noodles.

This is one of their newer restaurants. They did a great job of making it comfortable and inviting. The place has a good vibe and is not just another sterile, new restaurant. Like the Central Square place, there are lots of different comfy places to sit including a separate room where you can sit on the floor while eating. Most seating areas have power outlets so you can spend some time here and stay charged up. There are some menu choices here that you won't find at some of their other locations. And any place that has a smoothie called Blue Magic just has to be good- very tasty!
