Life Alive Organic Cafe Harvard Square

This restaurant is an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys organic food. The food is very tasty, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. One of the best things about the place is the wide variety of options on the menu. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a healthy meal. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for delicious organic food.

A very unique place where you see not only the menu is maintained healthy but the place too . They have yoga , meditation centre too there .. good options of vegan .., but sauces added are not getting into the food causing very mild or blunt .. have to add some top up hot sauce to cover the taste and bluntness .. overall ambience is nice and they have different dining options .. cost is slightly higher

The food here was okay, just a regular healthy bowl with nice protein. The flavor wasn’t bad, there’s just nothing too special about this place in terms of food taste. Some of the items in the bowl didn’t have much taste since the sauce never reached it (like the broccoli on the ends of the bowl. It’s just cooked broccoli). But, the atmosphere is incredible. Very unique experience where the tables, chairs, and decor is very hippie and calming. Although the specific table I was sitting at was a bit uncomfortable since the table was so large that I had to talk abnormally loudly to speak with the person across from me. Service is good, food came at reasonable time and they delivered it right to our table.

I was super impressed with the servers at Life Alive, who were truly doing their best to make the experience as enjoyable as possible. I’m someone who uses a mobility aid, and was saddened to discover the elevator has been out of service and (according to another patron) has been out of service for a couple weeks now. Extra seating and all the bathrooms are downstairs. Luckily, the servers helped us find seating upstairs, and did recommend where to find another restroom, which was incredibly kind and empathetic of them. I do hope Life Alive fixes the accessibility issue soon, so that their staff doesn’t have all the stress of it placed on them.

Love the clean variety on the menu. I took a good five minutes deciding which salad to order as they all looked so good! Eventually, I went for the Mexican salad and it bursted with flavors and texture. The soups are good too (tried the broccoli cheddar). The drink list is also elaborate (smoothies, teas, coffees etc.) For some drinks there’s the option to make ‘em “dirty” by adding an espresso shot. We tried the iced matcha latte and loved it. This place is cozy, colorful, and welcoming. The downstairs seating makes it good for big parties. I especially like this location (easily accessible if you take the red line) and so much to do around Harvard Square. Lastly, I can speak volume about the service here: super friendly and happy people. Highly recommend.
