The prices for a cafe at the sophisticated Lifetime Fitness (rock wall, hot sauna, dry sauna,…read moreraquetball, water slides, hot tubs, pool, personal trainers, yoga, Pilates- what else do you need?) are unexpectedly affordable. We tried the Turkey Burger, Mediterranean Pizza, Frittata of the Day, and the Catalina Avocado Toast. All for around $30. Enough to feed 3. Of course, being in Lifetime Fitness, you can expect the food to be healthy. The chefs that make most everything in house are also knowledgeable about healthy diets and the specific nutrition within their dishes. Usually pretty quiet, nice place to fuel up before a workout or better yet as a healthy reward afterwards.
Turkey Burger on Pretzel bread was moist and lightly seasoned. Pretzel buns can often be stuff and too dense, but they did it right here! At $4, the Frittata was small but satisfying- California style with bacon and peppers. The Catalina Avocado Toast had fresh mozzarella, ripe tomato sliced, and delicious avocado atop multigrain toast. Tasty! Last but not least was the Mediterranean Pizza. Cauliflower crust was crispy and tasty. Fresh arugula, kale, mushrooms, and zucchini did not make the crust soggy like lots of vegetables in pizza tends to do. Decent serving size for $12 (we added chicken for a few more dollars).
LifeCafe has a menu with variety, plus rotating daily specials. For something even quicker, they have premade meals that you can take to-go or they will microwave it for you. And they make those all in-house as well, so freshness should not be a problem! The employees were friendly and welcoming of any questions we had.
A great experience, will have to try the healthy drinks and smoothies sometime!
