Tasty fast casual - Edit
Came here for weekday dinner and got the Buddha bowl with tofu. It was huge! I’ll definitely get a couple meals out of this. Pretty tasty too, I liked the nooch seasoning. Casual interior with plenty of seating, great for a small group. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here, but it’s in a convenient location.

Impressive - Edit
Visited by recommendation and was impressed. It’s fast-casual, order-at-the-counter with upbeat vibes and very bright/modern interior. Speedy, friendly service; food served quicky, presented nicely, and at the right temperature. Large portions, too.

Yum - Edit
I have recently moved into this neighborhood and I have been getting food and drinks here a lot. My personal favorites for breakfast are any of the açaí bowls with what they call ‘cafe latte’ (although it’s not espresso, just regular coffee) as I’ve found I can’t really taste a difference between it and their fancier, more expensive coffee drinks. For lunch my personal favorite is the peanut noodles. They also bottle cold-pressed juices on-site under their own label which are expensive but delicious. For me the only drawback is one employee who seems to be perpetually grumpy, but don’t let that deter you. Also a pro tip from the staff that they are very busy from around noon to a bit after one so avoid ordering then if you can. I used to visit the Central Square branch a lot and it’s so nice to see how much they’ve expanded in the city.

Living life Alive in kendall square - Edit
The employees at the Kendall Square Life Alive location must be jacked up on ginger turmeric shots because the speed at which they assembled my Teriyaki Tofu bowl was borderline supernatural. Within less than a minute of ordering, the dish appeared in front of me , magnificent and perfectly composed. As always ( the teriyaki tofu bowl is my go to) the flavor profile was superbly balanced and delicious to an extraordinary extent . So amazing. Definitely a great choice if you’re looking for a warming meal with deep flavors. My companion got the Southwestern Sol, a lighter fare, with brighter flavors and featuring more crispy fresh vegetables. Both excellent!!!!!!!!! Love that they don’t hold back on the portion size , it’s always great to have leftovers. .Huge lifelong fan of life alive, so many great options and terrific smoothies . The other locations are also all really good . Thank you LA onwards and upwards … first massachusetts, next the world

I'm glad they opened this location here! - Edit
Life Alive is my favorite local chain; someone first took me to the Lowell one in 2006 and it was love at first bite. The Central location has been the site of so many occasions and memories, and I am elated with the addition of new locations. I've been to the Salem and Harvard Square ones a bunch of times, the Copley one has been perfect when I'm in that area, and while I've only been to this one once, I suspect more visits are in my future. There's a comparative abundance of seating, and when I was there it wasn't even crowded (I'm used to all the locations being crowded). The quality is consistent across locations. I love all the delicious vegetable goodies and smoothies and the smoothie bowls they've got now. Thank you, Life Alive, for feeding me for so many years!
