Life Alive Organic Cafe South End

Ordered an açaí bowl with peanut butter. Paid the up charge. They forgot the peanut butter. That's fine, life happens. I called three separate times during business hours to request a refund for the food I was charged for and didn't receive, and no one picked up and their voicemail box was full. Would really love that up charge back. They were also out of granola and the bowl came almost completely melted which again, not that big of a deal, but paying almost 20 dollars for a cold soup with the wrong ingredients really feels like a rip off.

Just ordered Life Alive for the first time on DoorDash. Ordered the Mighty Greens Salad and I have to say it is one of the best salads I have ever had! This was insanely delicious and fresh will be ordering again!

I like the food but when I order take out food delivered to your company I would love to get knife and fork .

I wanted to try their food. I went inside at 10:50 am on Sunday and my this place was packed, not even standing room. It’s not really a restaurant and it’s not a yoga studio, somehow both and two yoga classes got out at the same time. Sweaty people bumping into you taking up all the restaurant seating not eating. I left without buying any food. The crowded exodus of sweaty people continually running into me ruined the restaurant atmosphere. I won’t be going back.

I enjoy Life Alive for the most part, I've only had their Acai Bowls which are pretty good, a bit pricey but decent. This will be my last visit. I like to add in protein when I order Acai Bowls, most places have the addition available, but for whatever reason they do not. Today after my request to add a scoop of protein was denied by management; I went to wait for my bowl at the barista bar where they're prepared. The barista noted to the manager the modification of protein on the side. As I heard this, I asked the manager myself if they could stir it in. He stated that was something they would not do. Today I am grateful that they didn't add in my whey, I was able to see that they don't even put a full serving of protein which is an additional $2ish. I will happily take my $18($21 with tip) somewhere else.

So inconsistent. Looking at all the other reviews, the pics are all for dining in. The takeout has just become meh. I used to be able to feel the weight of whatever bowl I ordered. Tonight’s rainbow harvest was so light and lacking. Didn’t fill up the bowl. I just wish I knew if that’s the new norm because I won’t bother again.

I used to love Life Alive but recently the quality of my delivery orders has been so inconsistent. I was excited to try something new for dinner - the autumn chopped salad. I paid $2.22 to add avocado. What I got was a tiny piece of avocado, not even a half of one. Such a scam. They also forgot the dried cranberries in the salad. A few weeks ago I ordered the spicy peanut noodles and paid for extra tofu. Didn’t get any tofu in the bowl and they even forgot to put the sauce on the noodles. I had to try to make my own peanut sauce. Nearly every time I’ve ordered delivery something is wrong or missing. So disappointing.

This is my favorite spot to sit and get work done during the week! The interior is so bright and fresh, and they have a great playlist so I can take a break from my headphones if I just want ambient noise.

The food is also SO good! I love the green goddess bowl (a vehicle for their amazing ginger tamari sauce) and the breakfast tacos. The smoothies are all really good and I love getting the blue breeze 💙

The yoga studio is in the same location. Seating is very cramped and people coming and going to and from the yoga studio makes the location even more crowded. I'd recommend take-out instead of dining in.

This Life Alive location is my go-to home away from home. The staff (s/o to Dustin!) is so welcoming, the ambiance is a nice balance of mid-modern and tropical, and the food is always 10/10. I come here to work, to meet up with friends, and to treat myself. Some of my favorite dishes are: breakfast tacos, avo toast, pb&j açaí, spicy peanut noodles, and the cashew soup. I also love the lemon honey ginger tea (desperately try to replicate this) and the Elvis Alive smoothie!
