I love the decor of their restaurants . The people are really friendly here. Just remember when you walk in grab a menu figure out what you want and then they’ll bring it to your table. The smoothies and teas are delicious. I’ve had salads and warm bowls. Very healthy and worth the price.

Great location for another Life Alive. I love all the outdoor seating here. The staff are so friendly and helpful. And the food is out of this world. The only problem I have is choosing what to have because everything is so tasty.

Love stopping in to grab a quick smoothie or a refreshing lavender lemonade! Fresh ingredients & great service. Perfect for an introvert, order online and pick up at the pick up station. No need to talk or wait in any lines

Had a lovely meal here and sat outdoors.
Very healthy menu with a large assortment of vegetarian and organic dishes.
Garlic noodles were spicy 🌶️ and tasty.
Potato soup was bland.
My sea salt caramel Oat Milk latte was amazing.

It’s a little quiet in here but good for if you work remotely. The smoothie I got was the blue breeze and it was delicious and refreshing.

Service was friendly. The Matcha Latte was delicious 😋 This restaurant was classy with colors and very Clean . Beautiful outdoor patio with sunshine 🌞 street side. My only disagreement is the size of you cups verse what the price is. You should probably work on that. Still giving you 5 stars 🌟 tho...

good food. bought an acai bowl and it was cheaper than i expected compared to other restaurants that charge an arm an a leg for a bowl. 100% worth the price. you get a lot of bang for your buck. amazing acai bowls with options. definitely coming back!!!

I recently visited this café and ordered an açaí bowl. I have a mild peanut allergy (not life-threatening, but I experience throat irritation, nausea, and stomach discomfort), so I carefully checked the listed ingredients and made sure peanuts were not included before ordering.
However, when the bowl arrived, I noticed some nuts on top. Believing they were macadamia or cashew nuts, I tasted one — and immediately felt the symptoms I always get from peanuts. I asked the staff, and they confirmed that peanuts had indeed been included by mistake.
While they admitted the error and offered to replace the item, there was no sincere apology or recognition of the seriousness of the situation. I asked to speak with the manager.
The manager gave a formal apology, but then said, “If you had told us about your allergy, we would have been more careful.” This felt like an attempt to shift some of the blame onto me. But I had selected an item that did not list peanuts in the ingredients, and since my allergy does not react to trace contact or shared equipment, I didn’t feel it was necessary to make a specific allergy declaration.
Peanuts are a well-known, high-risk allergen, and any mistake involving them must be handled with genuine care and responsibility. In this case, I did not feel that the team fully grasped the potential danger of their oversight.
I requested and received a refund, but left the café disappointed. Mistakes happen, but the way they are handled defines a business’s integrity — and this one missed the mark.
