“Once I walked in, it had a welcoming feel. Everything was kept clean and representable, the barista was very knowledgeable about the food a drinks here. She gave a great recommendation of the chicken salad on a croissant, which was to die for, nice and flaky croissant with nice pieces of chicken. I ordered a cold brew with cream and caramel which was perfect and tasted bold, just how I like it. The barista also recommended a cinnamon roll muffin, it had cinnamon and sugar oozy from the inside and a croissant type breading around. It was AMAZING! The prices were not bad at all, very affordable. Overall I had a great experience friendly staff, good atmosphere I Will be returning.“
“The service is good could be better the main problem I had was when you ask for a breakfast taco and they give you a chicken now if under the breakfast taco it says between this time and this time then I would under stand but I ordered three orders of breakfast tacos and I got three chickens “
“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.“
“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“
“Yummy and healthy bowls. I got two dishes and split with my friend broth based and a rice based. Both were really different and delicious! They had just opened their baked goods part of the restaurant so they gave away pastries with the purchase of a meal! Updated from previous review on 2024-02-19“
“Was nearby and wanted to try new boba spots and saw this place had açaí too so we had to try it. The space is super long. Unfortunately boba was no longer on the menu. But the açaí was really good. I got super hyped when I saw they had different bases, I couldn't decide on what to try. We got a Berry Delicious açaí base bowl, and a Paradise Pitaya base bowl, and a Açaí berry smoothie. My fiancé devoured his açaí bowl no problem. And the pitaya base was so good and fruity. I saw they have a green base and a spring time mango base too. Definitely gonna have to come back and try it!“
“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.“
“Super personable and fast service. Came here on a Saturday afternoon and was the only person there. The guy behind the counter was easygoing and friendly and brought my order right to my table. The sandwich itself was fantastic. Fresh, a little spicy, and filling. These guys deserve more attention for sure.“
“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.“
“Placeis very large and very busy yet they run like a well oiled machine. Walked in, they took my order quickly, my food came up fast,everything was correct, the food was amazing, fresh, and tasty, and the price was reasonable. Would highly recommend this place, convenient location, eaay access, amazing food and service.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“BerryLine is a charming tiny ice cream shop that packs a big punch with its delightful desserts. The variety of toppings available is impressive, allowing you to customize your dessert to perfection. The customer service is top-notch, with friendly staff members always ready to assist with a smile. With its great desserts, cozy atmosphere, and excellent service, BerryLine is a must for anyone with a sweet tooth.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Very happy I stopped by, I had steak and rice and beans it was great, In particular the rice was yellow rice was fantastic!!! The rice was not dry and was perfect! The woman helping to serve me was really nice, thanks for employing genuinely nice people! I will be back more! Keep the good food quality! It was great! Very happy!“
“What an absolute GEM ? of a spot, fresh home cooked and super flavorful. I lived in Cali and this was the closet spot in MA that replicates these awesome recipes. I can't wait to go back or get take out when in the area! Bravo! ?????????????????“
“I’ve tried a lot of bubble tea in the area, and this is by far the best. The tea quality is great (especially the Hong Kong milk tea - seriously delicious!), and they put plenty of boba (that is chewy and fresh!) in each order. The staff are also very kind and efficient, and if you order multiple teas, will pack them perfectly in a cute reusable bag with straws inside. My only other wish for this place is that I so wish they had matcha, which is my favorite flavor and go-to tea, but the quality here is so superior I’ve been willing to switch flavors most of the time to come here!“
“Life Alive Organic Café has been a consistent favorite of mine during graduate school, serving as a reliable spot for healthy and tasty meals. With over 300 meals enjoyed here, I can confidently say that it offers a great variety of fresh, organic options that cater well to anyone looking to maintain a balanced diet.The café itself has a welcoming atmosphere, making it a great place for both studying and relaxing. Their commitment to quality ingredients and sustainable practices shines through in every dish. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.For anyone in the area looking for nourishing food in a pleasant setting, Life Alive is definitely worth a visit. It’s been a great support to my routine of fitness and yoga, providing meals that are not only good for you but also delicious.“
“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!“
“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!“
“I was really looking forward to trying Vietnamese coffee from a café for the first time and my expectations were met and exceeded! I even got to try a version of cold foam that was completely new to me which added a wonderful sweetness to the strong flavor of the Robusta beans. The staff were friendly, kind, and patient with me as a new customer. I'm sad this location will be closing soon for renovations but look forward to trying their 2nd location a few minutes away in the meantime.“
“I absolutely loved these guys boba tea! Compared to many different boba shops I've been to this one was unique... Not only do they have over 100 selections! ( something that's not seen a lot) but do they also have a variety of snacks including waffles, corndogs, and macarons. I always enjoy getting the Taro milk tea with lychee jelly, always a favorite.. I recommend these guys as they are also a small family run business not those high end company brand ones...so love in each drink is always amazing.10/10.“
“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.“
“Yummy Green Goddess Grain bowl and iced ocean blue latte followed by a Mexican hot chocolate latte for dessert. Love the vibe. Love the food. Please please open a cafe in Rhode Island, preferably in Newport or Middletown. :) See you again soon!“
“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.“
“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.“
“Impressive selection and extremely fast service both at taking the order (a long waiting line took less than 3 minutes wait to get to the register) and the time it took to serve the food. For the selection and speed of service, the food was rather good. Good outdoor seating option. Pleasant inside decor.“
