Although the menu is pricey, everything tasted great, and the smoothie was particularly rich, smooth, and a refreshing treat. I appreciated that the menu is very detailed and labeled with many common allergens and the amount of protein (many options with over 25g of protein!). With such a large menu, it can be a bit overwhelming reviewing for the first time. This location was very spacious with tons of comfortable seating inside which makes for a great place to get work done or hang out. The staff were very friendly and the food was ready in a reasonable amount of time.

I got the strawberry banana smoothie with added coconut and it was beyond delicious. It allowed me to get through my afternoon and feel refreshed. We also look for gluten-free options when we are traveling because of celiac and felt very comfortable ordering from here. Looking at the menu I saw a ton of GF options as well.

I've only been here twice and both times it was unsatisfactory. The second time was not just…read moreunsatisfactory but actually very bad. The first time, I submitted my order on the kiosk. While I was waiting for my food, one of the cooks (Latino gentleman I think, didn't get his name) called me over from across the room and asked me if I wanted greens in my bowl. I couldn't understand if he meant in addition to the quinoa that I ordered or instead of the quinoa so I just said ok. I was surprised later to find that my bowl did not have the quinoa that I ordered. Why would he ask if I want greens instead of just reading my order? I called to report the issue and dismissed it as a miscommunication. The second time, I submitted my order online. It was about a $45 order (two bowls). While waiting for my food, I asked one of the girls (Latino girl, kind of big with curly hair I think) if my order was ready. She said no and asked me if I wanted chicken in my bowl. I said that all of the information was already in the order that I submitted online and paid for. By the time I got home, I noticed the protein in one of the bowls was missing: teriyaki seitan. I went all the way back to the restaurant and asked to speak with the manager. She seemed to already know that the food was missing and asked, "chicken"? And she said that I could not speak to the manager. She offered me a free dessert but I declined. Again, I asked her to read my order instead of confirming with me what I wanted in my order. She said ok and handed me a container of food. On my way to the car, I checked the container and it was buffalo chicken, not seitan. I told her that it was seitan missing, not chicken, and she apologized. She handed me the seitan and I went home. When I got home to eat my bowl, I noticed not only was the seitan missing but the chicken was missing. So both bowls were missing protein. Fortunately, I still had the chicken she incorrectly handed me the first time. To recap, I paid $45 for two bowls. Both were missing the proteins (the most expensive and substantial part of the meal). I went back and she failed to fix my order and refused to put me in contact with the manager. Overall, there seems to be a major communication gap and maybe an English comprehension gap in the staff where they are unable to understand what's being ordered, causing major inconvenience and incorrectly making what is priced as a premium meal.

They also offer some delicious ice cream and smoothie options, perfect for a quick treat on a hot day if you're not craving a full meal but still want something on the healthy side.

The portions were what I expected and the server even was kind to let me pick a different topping on bowl since they were out of one of the standard toppings.

This recent experience was encouraging enough for me to come back sometime soon.

I just had a morning sunshine and a Livite bowl with extra shrimp and it was so good that I had to take the time and write a review. Came to this place about a month ago to see if like what they had and I have been coming at least once a week ever since. Very friendly staff (Thomas and Yvan are the best), they even offer me water while I wait for my lunch to be made. I missed Victor this last time there. Best take out place in Brookline if you are looking for good and healthy meals, juices and smoothies. Love it!!! read more

Probably my favorite health food restaurant in the Boston area. The staff have great suggestions for what to try next and are always very accommodating for my orders. My go to's are the Super Hydrator juice and the Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla with added avocado. My favorite part is the house-made Lentil soup in the winter time. The owners Steve and Laurie are local to Brookline, which makes me love their little shop even more! This is a definite go to next time you are on the green line and get hungry! read more

Livite is an absolute gem in Brookline and beyond. From the moment you walk in, the team makes you feel welcome with genuinely friendly and attentive service. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared--every bite is a testament to their care and quality. An added bonus are the plantain chips--they're perfectly crisp, slightly sweet, and totally addictive. Livite isn't just a place to eat, it's an experience that leaves you feeling nourished and appreciated. Highly recommend! read more

First off I will say that the customer service was excellent, but the food was lackluster. I ordered a vegan tuna wrap which was mostly lettuce and the "vegan tuna" was used as a spread on the wrap rather than a fillng, so I felt ripped off paying $10 for that. The smoothie was very bland as well, so I will never come here again. read more

Everything is organic and plant-based. I ordered the Protein Bowl salad, and it was both delicious and filling -- kale, brown rice, quinoa, lentils, black beans, chickpeas, carrots, raisins, and pumpkin seeds that added a nice crunch. The lemon dressing had just the right amount of tartness to balance the sweetness of the raisins and shredded carrots. Personally, I would have preferred fewer raisins, but next time I'll just ask to leave them out.
