Life Alive Organic Cafe Harvard Square

great food if you're not in need of protein

Great place!

Healthy but not really organic

I love most Life Alive restaurants and have been going to the one in central square for more than a decade. I more or less always order the same thing. While quality is consistent and wonderful at the central square location, the Harvard Square location routinely delivers really sub-par results with missing and our poorly cooked and prepared ingredients. I would not write this negative review if this were just a one off experience, but I believe up to 50% of the times I get food from this location the quality is way below the standards set by central square. Seems like Life Alive needs to improve staff training in their newer locations?

Everything was amazing! The food and drinks are fantastic (I recommend getting the Chai Macha latte), and the decorations are so cute.

I love the atmosphere here. It’s a great place to study, read or work. I really like the fact that they offer non-caffeine-based hot beverages. The golden milk is my favorite! Food is also really good and seems to have fresh ingredients. Sometimes the service is a little slow however and the serving size can be small, at least it was on the spicy peanut noodles.

Food was good and fresh, lots of healthy options. Staff were pretty unfriendly and the place has a strange atmosphere, especially downstairs.
