Organic vegetarian & vegan fare, including bowls, smoothies & wraps






























"Maybe it’s the foliage in the windowsill or the fridge full of fresh celery stalks, ginger roots, and carrots, but something about Life Alive feels like a forest. This vegetarian and vegan restaurant serves up juices, salads, sandwiches and grain-based bowls with names like The Green Goddess and The Mystic Mountain." - Intrepid


"Life Alive specializes in vegetarian and vegan smoothies and dishes from watermelon poke to green goddess and acai bowls, all of which can be ordered without common allergens like gluten. In addition to this Central Square location, the company has several other shops throughout the Boston area, many with nice outdoor space, including in Back Bay and on the campus of Boston University." - Celina Colby
"You’re tired of frozen burritos and vegan pizza, but going to the grocery store is about as appealing as a solo game of Catan. Luckily for you, you can order pickup or delivery at any of Live Alive's nine locations across Massachusetts and enjoy their grain bowls, salads, and soups. Everything’s plant-based, so check out their website to place an order." - joel ang

"An 11-minute walk from the starting point of the race at the Boston University Bridge, Life Alive is a quick and casual spot that sells delicious vegetarian fare, as well as refreshers and coffee." - Valerie Li Stack


"The veggie enthusiasts at Life Alive are slowly but surely taking over Boston, and we’re not mad about it. The growing restaurant group now includes a brand-new Jamaica Plain location at a sunny corner spot wedged between South Huntington Avenue and Moraine Street. It’s a reliable stop open daily for salads, soups, acai bowls, breakfast sandwiches, smoothies, and more." - Terrence Doyle
