Life Alive Organic Cafe Back Bay

Second time dining here and A+ every time. Pictured below is the green salad with an encrusted everything avocado. Half mushroom shawarma and Greek lemon soup. The winter herbal tea was delicious too! I hope they bring one to South Shore soon.

We liked that the place is open reasonably late for vegan eats which is always a bit challenging to find later in the day. We got the Teriyaki bowl which had too many carrots in it and didn’t help the bowl. I like carrots, but it was too much. Some bok choi or other green vegetables would be more appropriate for this bowl. The bathroom was gross. Not the best vegan food in town but maybe we just ordered the wrong thing?

I'm not 100% convinced about this place. I love the concept, look, and atmosphere inside and I love all the plant-based options. The acai for example was great. But then I don't get why the avocado bread is on one menu under "breakfast" and on another under "small bites". I feel I way overpaid for that one. The matcha wasn't good at all, but the chai I really liked. I also tried one of the wraps to go (teriyaki tofu) and it didn't really taste like much. I tasted neither sesame nor teriyaki which was a huge bummer.

What a great stop! I have challenges finding foods to eat that match with my expectations. Unless it can’t be avoided I don’t eat foods with added sugars, processed ingredients or items that aren’t truly natural and/or healthy. Additionally, I prioritize organic. I’m pleased to say that this place offers real food that’s really good. Food was fantastic, service was equally impressive and the location is convenient for many. Thank you, Sam

We stopped and picked up lunch here on our way out of Boston. I placed the order online and pickup was no contact and super easy. The interior seemed cute and clean but we were eating on the go. I ordered the Mighty Greens salad and my husband had the Teriyaki wrap. The salad was quite good and I would happily order it again. There are so many things on this menu that I wish I could try. Would love if they opened a location in Houston!
