“Bryan and Michele frequent tapiocatea every chance we get. Michele loves the Strawberry Cheesecake tea and of course the Teriyaki Beef Banh Mi sandwich. Bryan's go to is the Birria Banh Mi sandwich and his choice of drink is the Matcha Lavender Milk Tea. This place gets a 5 out of 5 on everything. This is a must try!!!! Both sandwiches are pictured below as well as a bubble waffle and crepe.“
“Best breakfast sandwich on the planet (bacon egg and cheese on a homemade biscuit). Coffee drinks have all been phenomenal as well. Parking can be tough at peak times but always worth an extra lap if you can swing it.Kid-friendliness: Lots of sitting options, things to look at, sometimes art supplies out for them to draw with.“
“Very friendly environment and very helpful spent 15 minutes trying to decide what to get and was very helpful with all questions and Eria help provide recommendations, came on Monday and back on Friday. Love to support small business, DEFINITELY “
“The food is exceptional no doubt! I have been here almost 5-6 times in 7 months.The first time we went, the quantity was almost to the top, second time it was a little less and the subsequently the quantity got lower.Today was disappointing, I literally got half a bowl of ramen. To add to the wound, the had added so much oil. It was very bad to eat.I hope they fix it, I want to visit again and again, but if the quantity/quality gets going this low, it will be really sad.My go to order Spicy Ramen!!! But was really sad with today’s visit.“

“Initially I was concerned that I wouldn't find any vegan options in Boston. The Life Alive Organic Cafe in Cambridge was a great find. They are plant based having vegetarian and vegan options. The food is fresh, quality and the tastes a great.A wide range of dishes including warm grain bowls, salads, wraps, noodles and soups, and desserts. The beverages include smoothies, cold pressed juices, coffees, teas and suoerfood.lattes.This is definitely on par with the best vegan food I have had in London. Free WiFi, great food and service what more could you ask for. A short distance from MIT you should put it on your to do list.Pictured are Miso Tofu Ramen, Grilled Pita and Blue Breeze.Dietary restrictions: Vegan“
“Truly blessed to have this gem in the neighborhood. My favorite juices are the organism detox and the no more sinus. My favorite smoothies are Island Mix & Mr.Green everything in this place is always on point including their sandwiches, freshly squeezed orange juice & let's not forget strawberry lemonade. YUMMM!“
“The BEST poke in Boston, period! I have tried all of them in the area and always left hungry and disappointed for the same reason, 90% of the bowl is rice with a few pieces of fish. This place is different. The bowl has a generous amount of fresh, high quality fish, reasonable amount of rice and other ingredients that make the bowl coherent in flavor. It tastes amazing and it is very satisfying as well. Couldn't recommend it enough!!!“
“Thrive Juice Cafe, very tasty food, love the healthy salads, sandwiches, falafel wrap, bowl, smoothies, strawberry banana.Owner Derek known for few years, he and his employees very kind,Makes me smile when ever I come for lunch, snacks.Everything is made with love for the customers.“
“Amazing service, truly. My friend and I were being picky customers and wanted to modify our drinks after ordering them. I know, we were annoying. But all of the beautiful women behind the counter had everlasting patience and honesty with us as we worked through it together.Yes this is a vague review but all you needa know is that this staff is great, the bubble tea pretty good, but the menu confusing because flavours like wintermelon, mango, honeydew, and Tiger are not listed on the main menu so you have to look carefully for what you want.“
“This place is great if you like music while you're eating (and even if you don't!) they have a wide selection of acai bowls and smoothies with delicious fresh fruit. They have an easy to use app if you'd like to order ahead with a 15% discount code when you sign up for their rewards program. There's plenty of seating and nice paintings all around the restaurant. They even have out free stickers all year.“
“We came to grab coffee on a whim before heading to an open house nearby. There isn’t much seating, just a small table in the front, so it’s more a grab and go spot. The pastries completely won me over though! So many great and creative options. I will come back to try more!“

“Powerhouse Catering is the first place I call, whether I need a simple "drop-off", or a full service catering need with staff. They are creative and the presentation is amazing. All of the staff, from the sales managers to waitstaff, chefs and bartenders are wonderful to work with and go above and beyond at each event.“
“High-end gourmet deli! Catered lunch for 12 on 2 consecutive days. Pinwheel wrap tray and All-American cold cut platter were each a lovely presentation and delicious. Many complements from the meeting attendees! Would order again. Thank you!Parking: Not a lot of spots but no difficulty finding an empty space at lunch time.“
“Generally I don't care for boba tea.But was craving some brown sugar boba tea. And some of my other usual spots were either too busy or too hard.I liked the fact I could choose the sweetness level which was nice. Did a 30% sugar tea, and got a egg waffle (also recommended)Tasted good, drank the whole tea, and the ice cream was good too. Venue was cute, but nothing mind blowing. The girl who worked the counter was effective.Not a bad spot for a quick fix.“
“Even from the menu, you could tell that this is authentically Brazilian. They offer many authentic topping options, such as brigadeiros. This place is significantly better than those chain açai and juice spots in town. However, the price was very high!“
“My husband and I stopped by this cute spot at Assembly Square for breakfast. We ordered at the counter, and the service was quick. I saw they have an option to order ahead online as well. Hubby got a smoothie which he liked (forgot which one!). I got the Avocado Avalanche; it was so tasty and had so much avocado. I would definitely get it again!“
“It’s a small space with steps to get in and limited seating but the froyo is a good. A micro with three toppings is quite sizable. I like the lavender honey. Some of the baked good toppings can feel a little crusty. I liked the seasonal lavender honey froyo and mochi toppings.“
“A very cozy cafe in Cambridge with friendly staff. They offer a wide variety of vegetarian eats including smoothies, acai bowls, and toasts. I ordered an acai bowl, and the amount was definitely worth the price, and you can tell it was freshly made, on the spot.“
“(Translated by Google) Super nominate!

“My husband and I do doordash and I was picking up an order here. My husband went in and was going to buy me a iced tea they make and the owner was so generous and kind he didn't charge him. This kind of service is how every business owner should be. I hope.they have a blessed year in life and in business because they went above in beyond in customer service and hospitality. Also the tea is fantastic I would highly recommend it. The food also looked and smelled delicious nice and fresh.“
“Decided to stop by because we were craving boba. Loved everything about this place from the atmosphere to the drinks! High quality and you can tell the owners use fresh ingredients and care about delivering delicious drinks to their customers. Would definitely come here again if I'm in the area!“

“This restaurant deserves the absolute best review! First, the ambiance is incredible. Very calming, bright, comfy & roomy. I never felt like I was going to push my chair onto someone else which is nice. The service was perfect! Not pushy but attentive. It felt like they were perfectly staffed which also added to the calming ambiance. Last but not least, the food was of the utmost quality with great portion size as well! Everything tasted fresh & authentic. They also had fresh cocktails being made that bar tenders were really putting effort into. This is an all around great place & I'm cheering for them to succeed! If you're in the area definitely check this place out!“
“(Translated by Google) My favorite place. To pamper myself and please my palate at any time of the day. Thank you thank you thank you.(Original)Mi lugar favorito. Para mimarme y darle gusto a mi paladar a cualquier hora del dia. Gracias, gracias, gracias.“
“Great Food and even better Smoothies. Caribbean jerk (plant based option available) and Bahama mama might be the best thing ever invented!Vegetarian options: Can customise any food to be vegetarian with plant based options available throughout the menu“
“Came here early in the morning, got quick, polite and friendly service. I got a classic breakfast sandwich with bacon - 8/10 recommend (not quite enough bacon for my taste). Also got a hot latte that I enjoyed. Staff was very nice and happy to give recommendations and advice.“
“So excited to welcome this new spot to the neighborhood. We dined in, and I was impressed by the food. Everything was flavorful and fresh. We ordered a pork burrito and quesadilla, yuca and plantains, an horchata and banana smoothie. I'd recommend all of them. Prices are totally reasonable, and I brought leftovers home. Service was a bit slow as they were filling online orders. Ambiance isn't special but fine. Will definitely be back.“

“Life Alive is part of a plant based dining chain focused on nutrient dense dishes and seasonal ingredients. Each dish feels super healthy yet delicious and doesn't leave me feeling heavy after eating it. There is a nice variety of flavors available on the menu and the only item I've tried and not liked is the acai bowl. Prices are a bit high but I'll definitely be back in the near future.“
“This restaurant is a must-try for anyone in the area. I've tried their enchiladas, tortas, and plates, and they're all great. The prices are so reasonable too, especially considering the amount of food you get! One portion is usually two meals' worth of food for me. My personal favorite is the enchiladas verdes with chicken.“
“Sometimes I swing by before volunteering - they have a selection of smoothies, health shots (I usually get the ginger shot), pressed juices and there's a bakery extension (even though I haven't tried, the baked goods look great). The employees I've interacted with have a quiet humor. Not sure if they own the place or not, but they're calm & pleasant. There isn't really a place to sit, so take your orders to go. Inside is vibrant/colorful & has a lot of natural lighting.“
“Love Eagle Hill for their bfast sandies but gave their lunch menu a try today and we were not disappointed! Ate too quickly to snap pics but I had the chicken bacon ranch panini which was delish and my fiancé loved his chicken chipotle. Each one was $12 and comes with a small bag of cape cod kettle chips (100 cal bag). Cashier was nice as always and inside is small but cozy. Can get busy on weekend mornings and takes time since everything is made to order.“
“My wife and I enjoyed breakfast on a lazy January Saturday morning at the Hilton. Arriving at 0930, we found only a few tables occupied when we were seated. Our table faced out large windows towards the front of the hotel. Sadly, there is no view of any aircraft at the airport. Our server promptly took our drink order; decaf coffee for my wife and pineapple juice fit me, yeah. I struggled to select from several good options on their one-page menu, settling on an omelet. My wife chose eggs benedict. It wasn't long before our food arrived. While waiting, we planned our attack for the day in Boston, enjoying the 80s music piped in. My omelet filled half the plate. I asked for all the options in my omelet and enjoyed it. The side of fruit was tasty, especially the pineapple. It also came with a choice of bread, sourdough for me please. The eggs benedict looked and tasted great. The English muffins were flat, more like a crumpet, which was nice. My wife would have liked to get the fruit side before the hot dish if that was an option Service was attentive and pleasant the entire time. Prices were a little on the high side, but our food credit helped negate that.“
“Not sure what I love more their espresso or food - only reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wish they opened an hour earlier so I could get something on my way into the office. An espresso, smoothie, bagel, etc. would be the perfect way to start my day.“
“Joined a couple of vegans for breakfast. I usually struggle to find something tasty and satisfying. This place was very helpful in making suggestions and asking me questions about what i liked typically then they made suggestions based on what i had described. In the end i loved an item which was similar to eggs with chorizo and I’ll be darned if it tasted just as authentic s the real dish. I had a couple of their pastry items and they could have been just as authentic. I regret that i didn’t write this sooner but this visit was in late February of ‘23 and i just found this website because another son of mine asked me for suggestions and i found NU Kitchen again which he was grateful for.“
“I highly recommend doing the full day Rest & Reset Cleanse. The experience left me feeling satisfied all day while still giving me a sense of lightness and purity from all the magnificent nutrients in the juices.I also did the cleanse another time when I was feeling a cold coming on and it had an immediate impact on my health. My symptoms dissipated very quickly after doing the cleanse.I am so grateful Beraka Juice is in Winthrop and highly recommend trying it out if you haven’t!“
“I used Los Chamos catering for a corporate happy hour for 60 people. Freddy, the owner, has been beyond professional throughout this experience. They respond quickly and go above and beyond to accommodate for dietary restrictions. I look forward to working with them again!“
“Love this little place! They have juices, smoothies, and an AMAZING avocado toast. They have the best fruit for sale too. I LOVE buying avocados here! They are huge and perfectly ripe. The staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely a little gem in Eastie.“
“.*°¤*(¯`´¯)*¤° BEST SMOOTHIES EVER!!!! °¤*)¯´`¯(*¤°*. 1. Always uses fresh fruits 2. TONS of variety 3. Great personality behind the blender! Love this place! Always make sure to bring all of my friends and we always double up!! Thank you for your hard work!!“
“I stopped in for a quick take away smoothie which turned into also getting a sandwich! They are def a quality shop. Lot of other reviews comment on the price, which is why you get what you pay for. I got the chocolate smoothie which was delicious, the worker in there explained they use natural ingredients, etc and it tasted pure. I dropped it accidentally and they made a new one quickly and would not let me help clean. Very great service! The chicken shawarma sandwich was a special and it was so good. They are very kind and great quality food. I wish they did more advertising!“
