    Blue latte
    Ana V.

    Why 5 stars: the light in this space is perfect for a cold morning. The blue latte: peaceful, energizing, and lovely. I think this would be a great place to kind of have that healthy pick me up to get you rolling for the rest of the day. I love the white walls, plants, and juices and snacks available.

    Chai Tea Latte
    Erika P.

    Whatever you do, don't get the chai latte. It tasted like water & nutmeg, no actual flavor. Everything else about the location was good. Friendly staff, clean/cozy environment, and quiet to get work done. But don't waste your $6 on the chai!!!

    Chai latte just tastes like oat milk with nutmeg
    Janice H.

    Very cute spot but the chai latte is the weirdest chai latte I have ever had. You barely taste the chai. It's basically oat milk with nutmeg. My husband had the cappuccino and it was better. But just avoid the chai. I heard other people raving about the juices so maybe stick with those. Atmosphere is very cute and quiet. Just avoid the chai

    Was driving through the area and had to pick a place to get some coffee to wake me up. Lively not only looked like a nice spot but it indeed was a good spot. Got a cappuccino with oat milk. I'm not sure what beans they use but the cappuccino was a little acidic but it still did the job. I saw that they had Blue Milk so I had to try it. It was ok compared to another I've tried from a different place. Their Blue Milk wasn't sweetened and that threw me off a bit because that's what I was expecting. I also grabbed a raw peanut butter maple syrup cup and thought it was tasty. The peanuts on top of it hit the spot. Pretty sure it's considered a raw treat because it was refrigerated? Would have bought a handful more of those but alas, portion control.

    Second cup!

    Delicious tea I had 2 cups! I tried Hindu Holiday! Great service! The whole place is a peaceful vibe! I was able to finish up some homework! Productive time and great experience!

    They sent this piece of liquid garbage when I asked for an acai bowl, how do you even mess up this bad when its not even hot outside.

    16 oz. Healthy Chocolate Smoothie
    Marisa J.

    Clean place, nice ambiance, friendly staff. I had a Healthy Chocolate smoothie, which tasted... healthy. It needed a bit more sweetness, which I thought would have from the banana and dates. It wasn't terrible though. My husband had the Berries smoothie, which he liked. It's a bit on the expensive side. $8.50 for 16 ounces.

    IT'S HERE! New healthy, vegan food option in South Slope area. We've really needed a place like this in the neighborhood. I've already been twice in the past 24 hours... and will definitely keep coming back. The space itself is simple and gorgeous, basically made for Instagram. There are both "grab and go" options, as well as a menu of items to order from that take about 3-5 minutes to prepare. Added bonus: the people who work here are so genuine, friendly, and knowledgeable. So far I've tried the Healthy Chocolate smoothie and the Vanilla Probiotic smoothie (with pea protein added!). Both were *incredibly* delicious and filling. It's nearly a toss-up but I have to say the Healthy Chocolate is my favorite so far... Imagine a healthy, vegan, upscale "Frosty" (the Wendy's dessert, haha). There's no question the ingredients are super high quality -- and of course, you pay a premium for that. In my opinion, it's more than worth it. I'm excited to try the more savory options on the menu, and foresee many breakfasts in my near future consisting of their Chia Pudding, Date Oatmeal, and Coconut Yogurt. :) Keep up the good work, Lively! And for those in the area, give this place a shot.

    Juices, smoothies, coffee, vegan snacks

    Delighted to welcome some healthy food to the neighborhood. South Slope has been lacking in fresh delights for quite some time and I've always thought it was a missed opportunity. Lively has fresh and bottled juices, fresh smoothies, supplements to add to drinks, a full coffee set-up, and for the time being a limited selection of salads and whole food snacks. Yep, South Slope has gone full cool mom. I even saw a cool mom stroll by with purple-silver hair while I waited for my order... My Vanilla Probiotic smoothie (almond milk, banana, coconut yogurt, vanilla, chia seeds, cinnamon, sea salt) tasted somewhere between vanilla cake batter and a chai latte, which suited me just fine. I'm hoping they'll roll out even more green salads and snacks but it's only been 3 days, so for now, bravo.

    Cute spot serving health foods, juices and lattes! Friendly employees, cute marketing and stylish interior - I'm sure when it's open normally with seating it's a great spot to sit and enjoy a drink. I ordered the Golden Milk and it was delicious (I recommend getting a little honey in it).

    Outdoor seating (thanks for the water!)

    Genuinely sad to be writing this one in the past tense. I came here for a date night, and it was…read moreintimate and cozy in exactly the way you want a date-night spot to be. Warm atmosphere, a strong selection of vegan food and drinks, and the kind of place that made the evening feel special without trying too hard. It's since closed, and from what I understand it wasn't about the food or the love from regulars, it was the brutal economics of running a sit-down restaurant in a delivery-and-takeout world. Nine years of serving genuinely great vegan comfort food in Williamsburg, done in by margins rather than quality. That's a rough way for a good restaurant to go. If you ever got to eat here, you know what was lost. If you didn't, I'm sorry you missed it.

The menu is stacked--sandwiches, hearty apps, macs, and cozy entrees that make you forget you're eating vegan. During my visit, they were running a Reuben sandwich special that seriously tempted me, but I went with the oyster mushroom calamari, and wow, the seasoning was spot on, and it could easily fool a seafood lover. My friend tried the seitan wings and was really impressed, even though he's usually not into mock meats. They came with super flavorful sauces and were definitely shareable. He also had the smash burger, which was a total win--savory, satisfying, and gave big diner vibes. We heard the milkshakes are amazing too, but we were too full to fit them in. Next time, for sure. Only downside? The service was on the slow side--we waited over 30 minutes between apps and mains. It's a popular spot, so some delay is understandable, but it was noticeable. Overall, I loved it and can't wait to go back with an emptier stomach and room for dessert.

HAAM had been on my must-visit list for over two years, so I was excited to finally check it out. The real highlight of my visit was Ajaya. She was both my hostess and server, and her hospitality was outstanding from start to finish. She recommended the empanada appetizer, which was absolutely delicious, and a refreshing drink made with sorrel, tamarind, and lime juice that was easily one of the best things I had all day. If management sees this, please recognize Ajaya. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely made the experience enjoyable. For my entrée, I ordered the steak and rice. The vegan steak itself was impressive--the chuck-style texture was spot on and really satisfying. Unfortunately, the rest of the plate didn't quite match it. The steak was only warm, the rice and beans were barely warm, and the chimichurri lacked the bright, flavorful punch I was expecting. On the bright side, the sweet plantains arrived piping hot, perfectly caramelized, and were easily the standout on the plate. After waiting more than two years to visit, the food didn't quite live up to the anticipation. That said, Ajaya's service absolutely did. She was the star of the show, and I hope she gets the recognition she deserves.

Everything in the platter was amazing - super flavorful and hearty. - Spiced Mac and Cheese --If you told me this Mac and Cheese was dairy free I would think you are trying to pull a fast one.

Takeout review Price: $$ (burgers are $19-22) but its comes with seasoned fries (more on that below) and the burgers are HUGE Store: few seats in the back, otherwise takeout mostlly. they call you a "slut" upon entering and leaving (it's entertaining). Food: - Dancehall Burger- sounded interesting but the maduros were a miss. would have been better with avocado and bacon. the slut sauce made this burger. onions were grilled but not caramelized. overall it was a solid burger. - Hollywood Hooker: massive but kind of bland? the texture was spot on for a philly chopped sandwich. but no slut sauce :( get the burger - eggrolls: philly cheesesteak egg roll. it was popular. Solid choice. i couldnt tell it wasnt beef. i added sweet chilli sauce to it which added some spice. - Fries: one batch was hot, crunch, perfectly cooked and had great seasonings. the other batch was soggy and was likely sitting out. if you get the fries fresh its worth it. Service: - Order on kiosks - Trainwreck. online order and suprised when it was ready within 4 minutes. Within 20 minutes I was in the store. 3 people + 2 food delivery drivers waiting. 2 workers - one was cooking while the other disappeared to get supplies / take out the trash. 10 minutes go by- no one gets food. 15 minutes. 1 delivery driver gets food. more people enter - delivery drivers + customers. Only 1 was greeted and told it would be a wait. 20 minutes. no food. The second workers comes back and helps with orders. finally 3 orders come out for in person orders only. 30 minutes, I ask for an update. 5 mintues later I get my food. total time was around 50 minutes not 4 minutes. I would recommend trying it for a good vegan burger and if you have an hour to wait. if you need a quick order or are rushing to catch a concert, show, or game at Barclays I would avoid.

As we entered the store, I noticed the employees would scream something out. I didn't quite detect what was being said, but that became the theme for the 20 or 25 minutes that we were inside. It's very loud as far the shouting when people enter, but even when they call out your name for your order or to ask you a question about your order. I ordered some fries and their banana pudding. The fries were good and so was the banana pudding, which was relatively small. I would say I had a decent first experience here but I'd probably order and stand outside next time around.

Honestly, I wish I had gotten the salmon to take home instead of the Haitian fried chicken. Now, that wasn't that great to me, and I didn't enjoy it :( I'm still giving them all the stars and all the props because I really appreciated the service. This was my first time trying a Haitian patty with spinach, and it was absolutely fantastic. I think it's even better than the chickpea one. I would definitely highly recommend this place and also go back. But the Haitian fried chicken need to be better. Still, I'll definitely come again and try the salmon next time!!!
