Take the Demi (portions are huge) Green Goddess with tofu and Quinoa instead of rice . then pour the spicy sauce at the water-self station and...go to heaven. Plus, can't go wrong with the Thrive Alive

Emily Chalko

One of my favorites for a quick healthy but filling bite in Boston. Get the adventurer bowl with avocado ! The ginger Namu Shayu sauce will knock your socks off. Amazing smoothies - get the love alive

Taejasvi Narayan

Great place for vegan and vegetarian food , and the smoothies are so healthy. Everything is creatively presented in mason jars and little plates. Not to mention the garden in the bathroom ... So hippie!

Boston.com

I love pretty much anything that can be eaten out of a bowl, which is why the Green Goddess , a blend of greens and brown rice and topped with a decadent shoyu ginger sauce , is my go-to steal at $9.25. Read more

The food here is amazing! Best vegan spot in Boston! Healthy and organic , big portions and a quirky, earthly, tranquil vibe inside. All grain bowls & juices are tasty and a great mix of ingredients!????

Jennifer Pore

I had the fool! A yummy noodle bowl with kale , tofu , and mushrooms in a ginger dressing . I also treated myself to a raw truffle . I sat downstairs, which kinda felt like I was in a dark hippy cave .

Jill Santiago

Favorites: The Swami + Island Alive smoothie . Makes it easy to eat healthy- my carnivore husband likes the satisfying meals. Wish they had more space- nowhere to sit during rush times. Good prices.

Dylan Boyd

Amazing vegetarian food ! Had an awesome Lover Salad and they so great Kombucha . Definitely worth dropping in to relax and have some amazing ethical food.

Desirée MacDonald

I have to admit, I’m always skeptical of vegetarian food . BUT, The Adventurer with Avocado was really good along with the Elvis Alive smoothie . So if you’re not a vegetarian either, try that!

Tara Krishnan

The Green Goddess and Swami are amazing and their smoothies and fruit juices are delicious!! The Spring Alive, Chai Alive and the Superhero Alive are my favorites.

Samantha Schwartz

Great veg in Central Square area. Salad bowls are great! Thoroughly enjoyed the "Explorer" friends loved the "Adventurer" & the "Swami" as well .

Ingrid Wong

There's a reason this place is always busy. Order a Green Goddess bowl - even a demi size is enough to fill you up. It's a warm bowl of healthy yumminess!

Margot Mazur

Wow. This place is amazing. Green Goddess bowl and do not skip that hot sauce . Downstairs is spacious and cool. Top 5 fave veggie places on my list.

Thierry Rousseau

Best is to take few demi to try few things!we had the lover(good) the healer ( best) the innocent ( best) for the drink all were very good. Can't wait to go back and would love one in the UK.

Gabriel M.

Everything is fresh and delicious at this place! Each warm bowl has its own zest and flavor. Half portions are great if you’re not starving.

Greg Bodenair

This place truly is an exceptional find. So many delicious and healthy options . I recommend any of the warm meals served in bowls. The Emperor and the Adventurer are my two favorites.

BU Today

Best vegetarian restaurant I have ever been to! Get the Adventurer with curry miso sauce ! Just trust me.

Niki Blaker

I had The Seeker which was excellent! The salad portions are huge - I was satisfied neither their "demi" size.

Aleksandra Arcipowska

This place is amazing. I got adventure bowl and it is full of flavors.heathy. warm. Vegetarian/vegan. Njam.

Sophia H

Adventurer bowl is AMAZING. The Fool (udon noodles ) was good but not as filling or diverse. Bowls are large but the food is pretty light, so they may not be that filling for dinner , just FYI.

Mike Collins

I like the swami, the masterful bowl, the adventure and explorer. Very lively . Lots of pretty people. Nice art . Good music . Stuff to read.

Allison Tovo-Dwyer

You will feel amazing after eating here! I prefer the adventurer bowl (get a bowl if you are hungry--its also the only way you can get a stamp on your appreciation card). Fun to try different juices !

Line is so long that it's unreal. But the food and atmosphere are worth it. Udon miso masterful is pretty good. There's also a lounge type seating downstairs.

Ryan Nixon

Had the chai smoothie , was very good: strong flavors of banana and cinnamon . Udon miso was great too, loved the kale

Brianna

A vegetarian 's paradise! Everything is delicious. You can't go wrong with anything. I'm especially fond of 'The Lover' ????

Debb

Very nice place, all organic and veggie . People are really nice and the salads are excellent! Totally recomend it!

Elisa Tobin Lmt

Hive Alive is delicious but I'd add a bit of ginger to it to give it a bit of zest. The Ginger Crush is not for the faint if heart but it is my favorite so far.

Aaron Wheeler

The green goddess both with both is all you will ever need in life. Eat a truffle after for dessert !

Peter Paul Payack

Everything is good, but go with the Emperor or Romantic Wrap . Call ahead for take out & they let you skip the line (it's always packed).

Dave Hakkens

EVERYTHING here is great. healthy, organic , staff , menu, speed, taste. Did not check the toilet though..

Margaret Wang

Awesome smoothies . Still not in love with the seasoning and flavors in the bowls, but I know many who love it.

Sam Nicaise

The bowls are just to-die-for. I'm the biggest fan of the alchemist. If only I made enough to eat there every day.

Jonathan Shaw

I'm a newbie at this place, but the Green Goddess was amazing. I'm hooked, can't wait until my next visit!

Lou Allen

The green goddess (with almonds ) hit the spot. Feel satisfied without the normal sluggishness. The place was very busy but the staff were efficient

Caroline Pacl

Love this super crunchy cafe ! The one in Lowell is pretty awesome as well ! I think I tried my first wheat-grass shot there or something... Great tea selection anyway!

Patricia

The Adventurer is my go-to, but I never regret trying something new. Nab some free smoothie samples as you wait.

Keri Garel

Every time I come here I tell myself I'm gonna branch out and try something other than the Green Goddess bowl , but it's just SO GOOD

Albie S

Emperor + beets , adventurer, hot & healthy bachelor. Demi for dinner , full plate for lunch . Avoid Life Alive on hot days - limited AC and most clientele are not daily showerers or deodorant users

Sophia H

Maca Malt smoothie was great. Light in chocolate . Grainy grittiness of cashew bits was particularly delightful.

DJ Tek aka Mr. Chicago

The Swami - Which is the Curry Miso Sauce with brown rice is absolutely amazing. Make sure you grab a smoothie with your meal. Anything less is a insult! Lol

Proxy Apparel

Get the Rebel! Sesame Ginger Nama Sauce with flax oil enlivening carrots , beets , broccoli , dark greens, tofu & hijiki over quinoa & short grain brown rice . Sooo good!

Greg Bodenair

Try the The Adventurer - If you haven't been to this place yet, I highly recommend you try it out. Healthy options and full of flavor

Saritha Athmakur

First time -Not very impressed. Food was good, but easily replicable@home. I was able to make Elvis Alive@home for < $3 for twice the quantity you get here. I would come back though to try more stuff

Andrea Ando

The beauty of The Lover, The Fool, The Seeker, The Poet... go for whomever you feel you are that moment.

Stephanie Orme

My acai bowl wasn't great. The ingredients weren't mixed super well , so some bites were super bitter (from the flax seeds maybe?). And all the peanut butter was in the bottom.

Kat ????

The Adventurer with curry miso sauce and shiitake mushrooms !

Chris Mills

Everything is great! I'm particularly fond of the Green Goddess bowl and the Life Alive juice .

Jamila Puckerin

This was my first visit! Smoothie was DELISH!! ???????? #vibrancealive

Carrie Bevis

Very crunchy granola type restaurant with the best salad , wrap and smoothie selection.
