Life Alive Organic Cafe Back Bay

There's a good selection of warm healthy food. I enjoyed the cold pressed juices which were so refreshing. The cafe was so busy and it was difficult to get a table during lunch. Had to wait for quite a while to get sitting space even at the front counter area. The avocado toast and breakfast burrito were good. The food portions were good.

Came here for the first time, after seeing that it was ranked #1 Boston for healthy eatery. I'm always trying to find a place that is both healthy and yummy. It DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Impressive assortment of healthy options in both meals, acai bowls, and drinks. They are not particularly TRADITIONAL (eg no green beans or Red beets in true Korean bibimbap) but definitely an healthy alternative with the same concept and design. I'm not sure what exactly defines a Buddha Bowl (is it the particular ingredients or the sauce... The last one I had it at another place had pumpkin/sweet potatoes but this one had avocado with mushroom). It was tangy and flavorful however. Went well with the Brown rice and chia seeds. Also my friend of Lebanese origin mentioned that the falafel was crispy and "not bad". Tried the Blue Breeze, it was thick and tasted mostly like ground banana. Will try something else next time. The tahini latte tasted like latte and much lighter. Next time I want to try to bibimbap and also some of the acai bowls. The place was full of people and noisy, it was hard to find seats. I found their system really efficient, however, where you wait in a line to order at the counter and pay, and then get a table number, get seated, they bring you the food, you eat and leave. No need to wait around so long to grab an attention of a waiter. The bathroom was clean and well-maintained. The staff were friendly. I liked the vibrant feel of the place. It was an interesting design (there are a lot more tables INSIDE, FYI). Gave 4/5 for atmosphere because we struggled to find a table and found a little corner of a larger table to gather together, and no-one seemed to offer assistance with the struggle... And sometimes it got too noisy. But speaks to how popular this place is! Would definitely come back!!!

Life Alive Organic Café in Back Bay is a great spot — fresh, creative, and full of personality. The food is vibrant and flavorful, and the same goes for their drinks: a fantastic selection of smoothies, teas, and coffees, all with a healthy twist. Everything is vegetarian and organic, which is perfect if you’re looking for a plant-based experience. Personally, I’d love to see a few options with organic meat or fish, just to have more variety. Still, it’s a unique and refreshing place that makes eating healthy feel fun and satisfying. Definitely worth a visit!

The restaurant has a very positive vibe and is a good place to socialize. The menu is extensive with many healthy options. Once you order you get a number for the staff to bring you your food. There's self-serve water in the dining area. The food comes out really quick! The spicy peanut noodles comes in a huge size and can be shared. The sauce is very flavorful without being too saucy. The tofu is cooked with a satisfying crunch and the peanuts goes well with the dish. Every bite is satisfying and the price can't be beat.

This place is a go-to for healthy and flavorful food with great variety. I especially appreciate how clearly they label allergens — gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, nut-free, vegetarian — making it easy to find delicious options that fit my needs. Consistently excellent!
