Really nice laid back cafe. Beautiful wooden tables. Free tap water. Great menu with vegetarian and vegan menu and lots of options to choose from - large portions. Good gf options. Nice drinks as well - recommend the lavender lemonade! Definitely recommend.

I love, love, love Life Alive in Salem, MA! It’s my favorite eatery in Salem. The food is fresh, organic, and delicious. It is ‘clean’ healthy food.
The staff is friendly and attentive. They seem to enjoy their jobs. The service is excellent.
I love how colorful the decor is. They even have poetry on their walls in their bathrooms!
The local YMCA is across the street, so my husband and I can stop in after exercising. What more could we ask for?

Fresh and delightful for our whole family.
My kids got smoothies and the quesadilla, I got the hummus pita plate and my husband got the teriyaki tofu wrap. We all finished everything down to the last drop and crumb.
Service was friendly and the atmosphere is beautiful. Highly recommend!
