Aleksandra ArcipowskaJune 11, 2019this is how i want to eat every day. it is delicious& clean & i love it!!!!!
Order ahead online, then walk straight to the back to pick it up. Save a ton of time!
Livia DinuApril 5, 2014The Goddess is amazing, and so is the Rebel! Try their juices and smoothies, and the latte!
Ask the staff! They know their stuff and can give you suggestions for additions/substitutions for meals and smoothies. So tasty!
Kiran BhattaramSeptember 28, 2014Adventure demi Burrell Will fill you up with delicious cheese, kale, and sesame ginger goodness
Anit DasAugust 10, 2015Best vegetarian option in the city imo. I normally do the fool! Need to experiment more with the smoothies.
Luke BornheimerDecember 29, 2013Lentil soup was filling and tasty. Salads and full meals looked awesome and were flavorful.
Vibrance Alive is probably the best smoothie on the menu. Bee pollen makes it even better! This restaurant is a blessing to central square.
The food is great. Check out the basement Hide-A-Way... it’s a great space for small group meetings, or a great meal. They even have a kids play area.
Green goddess is my favorite. No need to try anything else! Place can be packed and uncomfortable for eating - so grab it to go!
Delicious wrap, and I'm not really a wrap guy. Try the hot sauce at the condiment station and ignore the food prep guy wiping his nose on his plastic glove (!)
Get The Rebel -quinoa, roasted beets, kale, carrots, tofu and a secret raspberry sauce. So good, healthy & satisfying.
Get the adventurer with CURRY MISO SAUCE. I've tried everything and this is the best!
Morgan HenryJanuary 7, 2016Be ready for a wait, and then be ready for delicious that will make you feel good inside.
Everything is great. The flourish alive smoothie with kombucha is weird and amazing.
Paul BerensOctober 1, 2016Quote from my gf: "Man, if we had a place like this in San Francisco I would go every day."
Carolyn C.August 29, 2014Food is all super fresh and absolutely delicious. Service is much faster than the Lowell location.
Jared WilburDecember 29, 2017Loveeeee this place, stumbled upon it one day exploring the city. And I’m so glad I did!
Green Goddess is my favorite. Order demi portions to try two dishes!
Paloma MarizJuly 28, 2013The food was good but you have to order it with some sauce, I forgot that and mine was super dry! The juices were really good!
Green goddess, swami and adventurer are my go-tos. But you really can't go wrong
Thierry RousseauSeptember 29, 2013Once more I had a beautiful meal there. This time I took the Adventurer and once more I can only praise the place.. Till next time :-)
Sophia HNovember 26, 2019Green Goddess was good but not my preference (too lemony and light, not filling enough). Adventurer is the best.
Zachary BaumSeptember 22, 2015Very delicious food, even to a vegan skeptic. Wish it wasn't so humid in the restaurant.
The line can be huge. Call in your order and go straight to the 2nd register for pickup!
Bowls here ROCK. Recommend the green goddess bowl and some boocha 👌- Any of the food here is great and make sure to grab a smoothie.
This place is fantastic. So far, everything I've tried here is delicious. I come in every morning for the Jive Alice juice.
Everything is so good that its hard to try new things.
Not a fan of avocados, so The Rebel's the way to go. Get a Life Alive juice if you're feeling $$
Boston PhoenixNovember 12, 2010The road to Wellville by way of Life Alive means vigorous jumbles of steamed vegetables over creamy short-grain brown rice, sauces fragrant with garlic, ginger, and tamari.
Hallie Verrier SullivanApril 9, 2011got the love alive smoothie on a busy saturday. a bit watery and not super cold, but everything was fresh and healthy amd the staff was super friendly even with a crowd
Love alive + spirulina, flax and coconut oil tastes amazing and will make you feel so good!
The Green Goddess with extra avo and legumes is to die for my face so far
