Life Alive Organic Cafe Central Square - Organic restaurant in Cambridge - 765 Massachusetts Ave, USA

Party of 2 aug2023: Best food Ive had in a long time and fresh refreshments with a modern take on food and other options of yoga classes. Very quiet and calm place to do work as well. Food was great. Also had drinks that were prepared fresh but forgot to take pictures, which is also a good sign. Family friendly and elevator accessibility. Ive also heard that the wraps are good.

Great place to hang out and have a satisfying meal! The Central Square location has space in the basement that is both inviting and intimate. I always order the Swami and I love the umami and the multiple textures of the dish! When I say it’s a satisfying meal, I mean the rarified feeling when you feel full yet light, when you still have energy to do more activities afterwards without feeling the need to rest and digest, when you are simply contented, without want or need. I love that feeling.

I don't know if it was Google Maps or my poor sense of direction, but I had a lot of trouble navigating to this place. Nonetheless, I'm glad that I was able to eventually find it. The inside was very colorful and had a hip vibe. The cashier was also super friendly and lively (ha). I tried the iced Mexican chocolate and iced matcha latte. I really enjoyed the Mexican chocolate because it had a kick to it from the cayenne and a gritty texture, which was interesting. The matcha latte was a miss, as it mostly tasted like milk, but it is hard to find good matcha in Boston. I would come back again to try their other drinks.

The food was delicious and very healthy. The staffs were very pleasant. I wished there was another location close to my job.

This place lost a lot of its warm boho vibe through covid. Has a more modern feel now. But the price of food is exceptional for this area. So I am glad to see its maintaining that level of access. I like eating outside and if its nice out someone may ask you for money. It happen to us. But in one way I kind of prefer this as it reminds me of Pushkar. Recommended as places like this are not to common in this area.

Nice cozy organic veggie focused menu, healthy but with plenty of flavor. Loved the swami (curry bowl) and the downstairs is calm and inviting.

A colorful, lively place with friendly staff and great food! They have a wide variety of fresh, wholesome bowls that were the perfect portion size. The service was pretty quick, and the general ambiance of the place is energizing and comfortable although it did get a bit noisy (I think the music was too loud) which made it hard to have a conversation.

I've been to a few Life Alive locations. Of those, this particular one is my favorite. It might be the way it's floor plan is. Something about it makes it feel less sensory overload and stressful. The food is excellent. I do mostly salads, but the grain bowls are fine.
