Health Food Restaurants near Cambridge, MA

“tasty! fresh and quick. friendly staff“

“Probably like many others, I found myself snacking all the time now that COVID-19 has us home 24/7, so I was in search of some healthy snacks made locally that I could have delivered to my home. So thrilled I thought of Nüssli118. I had previously attended a vegan dinner at her retail location in Cambridge and loved it. I wanted to try everything so I ordered the gluten-free bites (ginger spice and pumpkin spice), her sprouted nut clusters, ginger lemon squares, and her new vanilla spice overnight oats. The gluten-free bites satisfies my cookie cravings without the sugar crash. The nut clusters were awesome, I couldn’t decide if I liked the maple or salted caramel flavors best so I found myself alternating. They were the perfect late night snack. But the winner was the overnight oats- YUM. It was super easy to make- just add a cup of milk (we did unsweetened almond milk) in a jar, toss them in the fridge and voila- you’ve got breakfast with no effort. If you’re looking for healthy snacks while we aren’t able to go to the gym and you want to support a small business, this is the place to order. All of her products are gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan. Even though I’m not a vegan, I love to eat raw foods because they give me energy without the crash or late night cravings. Highly recommend you try everything at first because it’s all unexpected and delicious.“

“Honestly, this place is fire. Best açaí bowls in Cambridge and it’s not even close. Everything is always fresh and they never miss.

Marley and Yesica are always super friendly, welcoming and always seem to be in a good mood.

Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“One of the most flavorful meals I’ve ever indulged in! Love the vibes there, and that everything is healthy and organic. Impressed that the prices weren’t too high either! Was just traveling through Salem on vacation in September & glad I found this place. Highly recommend. (Pictures are of the Rainbow Harvest bowl and Blue Magic Smoothie) - which had a kick to it, but tasted like Christmas.“

“Excellent, creative, tasty and healthy food in a very welcoming and relaxing space. Wish you would open one on the South Shore!“

“Life Alive in Cambridge has a relaxed, welcoming vibe and exceptional organic food. Everything is fresh and thoughtfully prepared — the soups are especially comforting on a chilly Boston day. I love eating on the lower level; it feels cozy and peaceful. A perfect spot to unwind and enjoy nourishing flavor.“

“Just Salad offers a generous and filling portion. The salad looks fresh and colorful, with crisp greens, juicy tomatoes, pickled onions, and well-seasoned protein. The creamy dressing is flavorful and coats everything well, though it may be a bit heavy for some. The bread on the side is a nice touch and adds to the overall satisfaction.
Maria provided great customer service,she was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better.
Overall, a great option if you’re looking for a hearty, tasty salad that actually keeps you full.“

“It is very nice and refreshing to be greeted so friendly. Mimi greeted us making us feel very welcome. Steve the manager was equally welcoming. Henry and Mimi served us with helpfulness and guidance. Steve took us to our table. The ingredients were wonderfully fresh and abundant. They even had pickled onions, which I love. The wild rice was delicious. Romaine lettuce was crispy and fresh. The ambiance is casual and uplifting. You will enjoy the whole experience. Thank you everyone.“

“So amazing!!“

“Manager Alex helped me out, we also had a really awesome conversation, overall he was very inviting and welcoming, and I noticed his interaction with the team while I ate my meal everyone seemed happy and smiling, it was relatively slow while so I enjoyed my meal comfortably and quietly. If you go here have Alex build your bowl and thank me later😊“

“Their bowls are yummy, the fruit is so fresh and the staff are so friendly!“

“This place is amazing. My new favorite food joint.“

“I had the south west bowl . It was very good . You got a lot for the money. I could not eat it all . . A little more spice would have been nice.“

“Delicious smoothie bowls. Fresh and flavorful!“

“If you’re looking for an amazing pre- or post-workout treat — or just something delicious to satisfy your sweet tooth without feeling guilty — this place is it. The service is always wonderful, and the Cowabunga Smoothie is one of my personal favorites. Everything they serve is made with natural, organic ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about a bunch of ultra-processed stuff going into your body. It’s refreshing to find a spot that focuses on quality while still making drinks that taste this good. It’s always a great choice when you need a quick energy boost to keep your day going. Highly recommended.“

“It was my first time at Just Salad, and I honestly didn’t know what to expect. The staff was incredibly friendly and helped me choose the perfect salad. Everything tasted fresh, the restaurant was spotless, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. Special shoutout to Roberto,he was excellent! He made me feel welcome and made my first visit even better. I’ll definitely be coming back. 5/5!“

“Energize in Brighton is the best! I order a Recovery Smoothie at least twice a week and they customize it for me… they’re amazing!!“

“Hidden little gem on Congress Street where I could find a nice salad. Customer service was great. This may have been the creamiest dressing I have ever had. I love crunchy croutons and even when tossed in theirs were! That never happens, but it happened here.“

“Delicious, creative dishes that put freshness front and center. Never a wilted leaf, they take vegetables seriously, as I wish more eateries would.

The staff is friendly, the vibe is casual, and the smoothies are a delight.

I recommend the miso eggplant tofu bowl and the PB&J smoothie. And I hope they keep them on the menu!“

“Delicious smoothies, juices and food 😋 Had sweet potato toast with lemony arugula and cucumber. I don’t usually like cucumber very much, but the lemon dressing made it tasty.“

“Very good and efficient. Nice people.“

“We’ve been going here for a while but recently we’ve been going every day and we have thoroughly enjoyed our salads and just how healthy we feel. We really appreciate that this is an option for us and we really appreciate Just Salad.“

“We have all the options where I live and every time I get Just Salad I wonder why I eat anywhere else. So many fresh dressing to choose from.“

“We just have coffee and some other drinks. Their coffee was decent and my friends said their drinks also. Service was also decent. I found the prices high for what they offer. But the space is really comfortable. Also in my opinion we received an unnecessary hit of high attitude and a little bit of extra ignorance. But in general look like worth to try if you are ok with those things. I’m not but probably my issue…“

“Amazing spot for açaí bowls + smoothies + more. I had the Power açaí bowl with PB. Highly recommend if you like tasty, energizing, fresh real food that will keep you going all day. Great chat with the owner who truly cares about offering an excellent + healthy product to his community.
Exciting to see a healthy and delicious food option for the local students.“

“Very tasty salad lots of options for ingredients.“

“I am so grateful you have remained open for pickup. I walk by this store on the way to my night shift as a nurse at MGH, and am so happy I can pick up a fresh, healthy meal to get me through the night. I know it must be hard to stay open with such low volume, but, believe me you are doing a wonderful service in this tough time. Thank you so very much. I hope you all stay well and there will be good things to come!“

“Very good salads, healthy and abundant, with ingredients prepared in front of you, a wide variety of vegetables, legumes, rice and green leaves. The salads are very large and they only use biodegradable materials for everything. The staff is super attentive and friendly. Very good quality-price ratio for the United States/vegetables!“

“Absolutely the best food around! I am in love!“

“First place I would give 6 stars if possible!!

Our food was perfectly prepared, fresh, and filling. Prices were extremely fair given the quality and quantity of food.

The atmosphere Life Alive has curated is so comfortable and open. There is plenty of seating space indoor and out. 10/10“

“I am a regular, probably more often than I should. I get my usual Power Protein smoothie, which is amazing, but I’ve also tried other food and bowls, and everything I’ve had is great.

Moreover, the staff there is amazing!!! Everyone is so friendly and nice, and the service is always fast and super high quality!“

“Let’s start with the Owner and the Customer Service!! The owner is very attentive, responsive and kind! The customer service I have received during the process of ordering and picking up was top tier! I’m a new customer and the process was smooth and all my questions/concerns were promptly addressed! Even on a day like today with the nasty weather the owner was able to accommodate an early morning pick up! Now that’s above and beyond customer satisfaction! You can tell that they genuinely love to provide people with the best quality superfoods!Let’s get to the Seamoss!! Normally, I order online and decided to search for someone local and to support my community. StarLife was literally the first to pop up in my google search and definitely local which was a plus! No exaggeration, the Seamoss is sooo good (and I’ve tried plenty other brands). The consistency/texture is smooth and the taste is everything!!! You can tell the seamoss was throughly cleaned. The jar was cold upon pickup, so I know it was properly stored. I literally can eat it by itself (which is what I intended on doing, but that was dependent on the taste)! It also has a special ingredient (which caught me off guard) that I feel sets them apart from other brands adding to the vitamins/nutrients the seamoss already naturally provides! Upon looking up that ingredient this Seamoss is definitely a WIN!! Great job Starlife!!! I will be back from my April Jar!!!Ps! So, for about two weeks now, I’ve had muscle and nerve pain in my neck/shoulder. I’ve been taking pharmaceuticals (yeah I know I know lol) but it’s only been suppressing the pain (as we know smh) and it’ll hurt again. I literally took 3 teaspoons of this seamoss and I can legit turn my neck in a way I couldn’t before AND the pain has been gradually subsiding. I made sure to take the seamoss on an empty stomach. Deep down I knew the seamoss would do the trick because of the benefits alone but I didn’t know it would relieve my pain and have me feeling better this quickly!! Moral of the amazing (and long) review is that if you are looking to purchase great quality seamoss locally and want to support your community in the process, please shop with StarLife Superfoods!!! Trust me you will not be disappointed!!“

“Most convenient, healthy, superfood cafe! Their options are amazing! And the staff is so friendly!“

“Today I had the pleasure of trying the chocolate banana smoothie with protein. It was very tasty and one of the associates was even gracious enough to let me leave a few business cards to support my own business. I will definitely be returning in the future!“

“the Best Salad 🥗 am never eaten in me Life“

“I ordered the new sweet green Chimichurri Protein dish. It is a great dish to eat after a gym workout. It has plenty of protein in it..I recommend this dish to anybody. 😁🏋️🏃🚶🧎💪🏿“

“No I don't not recommend them, When someone came in with a homeless woman to buy her a meal they put her outside to wait. Disgraceful, smh. Do better“

“Sweetgreen on Boylston is the kind of lunch spot that becomes a regular part of your rotation once you have been a few times. The concept is straightforward, salads, wraps, and bowls built around fresh ingredients with a strong focus on healthy options, and it executes that consistently enough that it holds up as a reliable go-to rather than just an occasional visit.

The menu covers enough ground that finding something worth coming back to is not difficult. The Kale Caesar is the standout order and delivers every time, well balanced and filling without feeling heavy afterward. The portions are genuinely generous across the board, and the option to build your own bowl gives you enough flexibility to work with whatever you are in the mood for. The ingredients feel fresh in a way that separates it from most fast casual options at a similar price point, and the vegan and vegetarian options are substantial enough that they do not feel like afterthoughts tacked onto the menu.

The staff at this location are consistently warm and friendly, which makes the whole experience noticeably more pleasant than your average quick service lunch spot. The line moves at a good pace even when it gets busy, which it does during the lunch rush, so arriving slightly outside of peak hours will save you some wait time if you are in a hurry.

Seating inside runs on the tighter side and fills up quickly during midday, so coming prepared to eat outside or take it back to the office is worth considering on a busy weekday. Overall it is a dependable, quality option for a fast and genuinely satisfying lunch in the area.“

“Sweetgreen is a national chain of healthy salad bowls, where you can either choose a premade salad bowl or make your own. They offer online ordering or ordering in person, but we tend to opt to order online.

The meal is reasonably priced for the portions you get, and it's what you'd expect from a salad. We always build our own, and the combos work well together and the dressing is tasty and goes well with the salad. Overall, its a decent place to pickup a salad bowl in the area.“

“I don’t remember how many times I’ve ordered Shroomami! It’s a very delicious and healthy bowl for me. It’s loaded with veggies, good carbs from wild rice and sweet potatoes(add-on), healthy fats from almonds, avocado, and olive oil, and protein from mushrooms. I often add steak or miso salmon for extra protein. Tbh I order it on uber every week as a treat for myself!“
