“Had the best chicharrón of my life here months ago. As soon as I spotted them glistening on display, I knew I had to order. Crispy skin, juicy meat, perfectly seasoned. The pork fat was rendered just enough so the remaining fat had a firmer, almost meaty bite instead of melting away. It was one of those rare, stop-you-in-your-tracks moments.
Unfortunately, when I came back a few months later, they were just… ordinary. No more juiciness, just dry chunks sitting out on display. Maybe it’s a timing thing—you probably have to show up early morning to catch Colombian chicharrón at its best. The rest of that plate (sausage, rice, beans) was fine, though the beef was on the tough, dry side.
On my most recent visit, I tried the beef empanada and carne asada. The empanada was decent, but clearly not fried to order—still edible, but not something I’d go out of my way for. The carne asada, however, was one of the best I’ve had in the area: thick cut, fat cap rendered just enough to bring flavor without grease, and seasoned spot-on. My only gripe was the side—fries instead of rice, which pushed the whole plate into salty-overload territory. Fries were great, but rice would’ve balanced it better.“

“Staff were friendly. Food I think was pricer than expected but still overall good flavors. I think that is just the nature of food places in the assembly area to keep up with the ( I'm assuming) high rents. If someone didn't wnat to venture out to dorchester to get vietnamese food, I'd recommend coming here.“

“Great spot for delicious vegetarian food as well as fantastic smoothies. One of my favorite meals are the rainbow harvest and teriyaki tofu bowls. The rainbow harvest is a party for your mouth and I’m personally a big fan of sweet potato so highly recommend that one. The teriyaki tofu bowls is best ordered in when it’s hot and steaming. The tofu provided is crispy and complimented well by the umame of the mushrooms as well as the saltiness from the soy sauce. I also decided to try out the strawberry and cream chia bowls which satiated my sweet tooth. I love the variety of texture the chia seed provides when mixed with the oats as well as the sweetness provided by the coconut yogurt and strawberries.
One thing I really appreciate about life alive is their nutritional content is listed so if you are looking to track your macros for weight gain, loss or just general health it’s great. While the menu doesn’t have as much protein as restaurants that have meat in them, they are quite satiating as a lot of items are filled with fiber and a decent amount of protein. You surely won’t leave feeling hungry.
The reason I listed the atmosphere as four stars is being a fantastic place attracts a lot of customers and it can be a bit difficult to find seating indoor at times especially seating near a charger incase you are looking to get work done.“

“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.“

“Passing through Dorchester last year, I discovered a hidden gem. I’ve been to Love Health Café three times, and every visit has been a pleasure so far. The team here is consistently warm and customer service oriented—they always listen and ensure my order is exactly as requested. As someone who pays close attention to food safety and cleanliness (cutting bananas with bare hands is a NO-NO for me and trying to save on the cost of gloves while navigating food and money is a definite NO NO, so please don’t change!).
I’m pleased to see handwashing and clean practices in action; quality and care are evident throughout my experience. I was intentional about waiting to do this review, and I’m always willing to update as needed.
Love Health Café offers “Mmmm 😋😋” dairy-free options, and the food truly stands out—freshly made, flavorful, and so far, satisfying. The price points are very fair compared to other chains, especially considering everything is prepared to order. Meeting the founders was a wonderful bonus (featured in the pictures); they’re an engaging couple committed to health and good service.
I look forward to coming back. Here’s a new tagline for them: “Where Love and Health Blend—especially in every smoothie and açai bowl!” As of now, I highly recommend!“

“This place is very good! Unfortunately, the hours are incorrect. The “real” hours are hard to make out but are on the door, listing them as closing at 7 pm on weekdays and 5 pm on weekends. That being said, i placed an order on a weekday and arrived 15 minutes before closing to find the store empty and locked. It’s a shame because i really do think the juice here is the best!“

“I got the Caribbean Sun as a quick choice since I had to run and tutor. I’m glad I did because the kick from the ginger is just what I needed. I also bought raw cashews, which came in handy the next day. I can’t wait to go back and try more!“

“We stopped into The Juicery to grab a quick bite to eat. We each ordered an acai bowl - one being the Bowl 51, and the other the Red, White & Blue bowl (without banana topping). The bowls are the perfect portion and a great refreshing lunch to eat.“

“This place is just the best. Across all of their locations, I have always been met with extremely friendly staff, fast service, and delicious food. My favorite bowl is the Cacao Power Bowl. I had it for lunch almost every weekday this summer, and somehow never got sick of it. But in terms of smoothies, you cannot go wrong with the Mango Green. Truly a timeless classic.“
“Smoothies and bowls are awesome. Employees and service are great. Wide variety of healthy menu options, lots of vegan/GF options. Chocolate mousse stands out among the non-smoothie choices.“

“Obsessed with their smoothies. I’m a loyal customer who frequently visits. The major issue I have is they are unwilling to share the nutritional value of the smoothies. I track my macros and calories and have done my own back end assumptions based on what I order but it would be really helpful if they provided the facts. I’ve asked several times and I get different answers on the amount of protein fat etc as a health food shop they should provide this. Again the food itself is excellent. If anyone finds the nutrition value please do let me know!“

“God bless this place. I'm a Puerto Rican that longed for Spanish breakfast in Boston, with as close to the taste of the island food as possible. Their $9/$10 Versailles sandwich taste like what I grew up eating (I would remove the Dijon mustard next time but it did enhance the flavor) and their $5
coffee is soft not dangerously strong and it's so affordable !! I will be coming here more often!! The ambience is peaceful too“

“Highly recommend Professor’s catering! Decided to have them make the food for a post wedding brunch I co-hosted in April. Best decision ever! Guests raved about the food! Then in June, I needed a last minute gluten free entree, and the team put together a beautifully garnished pan of gluten free roasted chicken that was delicious. Love their grab and go prepared foods case, too! 10 out of 10!“
