Life Alive Organic Cafe Kendall Square

What a gem! I would give 5 stars if they were completely vegan and not "only" vegetarian. It is very comfy to dine in and stay a while, music's not too loud so you can read or have a conversation. They ooen at 7 already and have a great menu. I had the teriyaki tofu grain bowl and the avochocomousse, both vegan. The chia pudding wirh coconutjogurt for later tasted wonderful as well. I highly recommend! Updated from previous review on 2025-12-18

Got dragged here by coworkers. If you like paying high prices for veggies it’s great. Crispy falafel wasn’t crispy. People like it but not for me

I visited twice and was disappointed both times. I tried to order alacart items instead of a full salad or plate and was told I could not even though they are listed separately on the menu. The second time I had to wait while the staff finished a phone call to place my order. He was distracted and did not place it correctly. When I received my Acai bowl not only did it look disappointing but it wasn't what I ordered. However because it was not entered correctly there was a reluctance to correct it. Poor customer service all around. I can't recommend this place.

I asked for my bowl not to include a specific ingredient, only to find out when I got home that it was in there anyway. On top of that, I was sitting and waiting for my order, only to realize later that it was already ready. Apparently my name had been called
but if no one comes to pick it up, maybe try calling again?

Delicious vegan plant-based options. The cauliflower cream soup with pita and a side of falafel topped off the day of sightseeing 😎

Absolutely loved this place! I tried the strawberry smoothie, which was super refreshing and full of flavor. The falafel sandwich was delicious, perfectly balanced, and really hit the spot. The third dish I saw in a picture by the entrance before I walked in—had to give it a shot, and it exceeded my expectations. Everything here is fresh, healthy, and packed with flavor. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, and the service is great. Can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu
