We were looking for a healthy lunch on our way out of Boston and found Energize on Mass Ave. The…read morespace is small, clean, and uncluttered, with options for takeout, several indoor tables, and a couple of outdoor seats. 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. My husband ordered the Dragon shake, made with dragon fruit, mango, pineapple, banana, cashew butter for protein, and date paste for sweetness. It was rich, satisfying, and filling enough to be a complete meal. We both loved our food and hope to return again soon

Have been going to Crush for the past 2 years that I've lived in the area and honestly have never…read morehad a bad experience. I usually come for the smoothies and acai bowls which are phenomenal and made with fresh ingredients. I also love that you can pick your own toppings for the acai bowls and the amount of options they have to choose from. The only other food item I've tried is the avocado toast which was fresh and flavorful. I'd love to try more of their food but for now I'm still hooked on the smoothies and acai bowls. Not to mention, the customer service here is top tier. It's usually the same woman working who I'd assume is the owner and she's always super friendly with a smile on her face. The space itself is pretty small with not much room for seating, so it's definitely more of a takeout spot which isn't a bad thing, just something to note. Overall I am really happy to have a place like this in the area. It's one of the few spots that offers fresh, whole ingredients without all the unnecessary additives. Hope this place stays around for a very long time!

But I guess with everything going on in the world, it is what it is as long as the value matches the price. I told the lady at the desk about my quest for mostly fruits, but maybe veggies as well and got recommended the Mediterranean Bowl. It was very delicious and I couldn't finish it in one go. Also appreciate it having quinoa instead of rice. Huge fan of coconut and bought the Majikal Coconut as well (price made me a bit nervous). It contains coconut juice, meat and blue majik (HIGHLY advise that you drink it as soon as you buy). My 3rd item was an acai bowl which I had for dinner and it was well done and also filled me up for the night. The business itself is well kept, bright and colorful. It's small, but has two seats near the windows. Really appreciate Cocobeet having labels for their items in the fridge showing not only the price, but what it does for the body! So glad it's across the street from work and you'll definitely be seeing me again!

Playa Bowls near Northeastern is a chain that has found a comfortable home in the area, and the…read morelocation holds up well as a go to for a refreshing, health forward meal that does not require much thought to enjoy. We walked into a relaxed space with a consistently friendly and engaged staff, making the experience feel more personal than a typical fast casual stop. The acai bowl is the foundation of the menu and it delivers reliably, with the base thick enough to hold the toppings without turning into soup partway through. The Nutella bowl is the most popular order, and the combination of the rich spread against the acai base works in a way that feels indulgent without completely undermining the healthier premise of the meal. The mango bowls are a lighter, brighter option for anyone who wants something less earthy than the acai, and the Nica Bowl is another solid choice for a more composed build. The customization options are generous and the staff is helpful in steering you toward combinations that work if you are unsure where to start. Prices land in the eleven to thirteen dollar range, which is on the higher side for the format, though the quality of the fruit and the portion sizes make it feel reasonable once you are eating it. For a post workout meal or a lighter lunch option near Northeastern, Playa Bowls is an easy and reliable choice.

The butter mochi was pretty small for $5 but flavor and texture wise I was into it. I love pastries that are not too sweet. The black sesame dopo panna pallet I could do with more black sesame flavor just because the double shot of espresso really overshadowed it. The space was nice and had decent seating when I went.

Each register has its own individual line & there are also drink only lines if you only want to order drinks, which is nice if you're on a time crunch. Staff is super nice and quick with getting your order ready.

I always look for healthy food options especially while traveling so it's great to see places like this in the train station!! Wanted to pick up some food for lunch on the train to NYC. Ordered the pollo supreme sandwich- it's essentially a chicken salad sandwich- looks very interesting- bright yellow color shredded chicken with cucumbers in pan sobao bread - which I had never heard of - looked it up right there before ordering- it's a slightly sweet Puerto Rican bread. Also picked up a couple healthy snack bowls - one was a parfait with yogurt and fruit and honey granola and the other was an oatmeal bowl with blueberries. They also had some chia fruit cups and their menu had lots of juices too. Service was great - the guy at the counter was very friendly. He noticed the bananas in the parfait cup were a bit discolored so he removed those and cut a fresh banana and put it in. I wasn't expecting that at all and was very pleasantly surprised by his thoughtfulness and service. The sandwich took a while and I was getting worried as the train time was close. But it was finally done! Ate only half of the sandwich as I also wanted to eat the parfait. Was mild and tasty went well with the bread. Parfait was good too. Hubs enjoyed the oatmeal cup too. Overall great experience and the service was above and beyond!
