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

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.

Great little place here at Back Bay station! Very interesting- It's a healthy food and juice place,…read moreit's a Mexican food place - what do you know!! 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!

Realized that I haven't had much fruits/veggies in my life lately, so I decided to check out…read moreCocobeet. First impressions, WOW these are expensive! 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!

The chickpea based sauce was super salty (in a good way) and creamy. And the crunch of the lettuce and croutons was perfect. Service was nice and I like that if you dine in they serve to your table.

My go to order was the mango slushy with boba. My slushy was blended with lemon pulp which was tart initially but complemented the sweetness of the drink.

Happy Lemon is one of the longer-running bubble tea spots in Downtown Boston, tucked inside the…read moreCorner Mall near Chinatown. We walked into a location that is easy to miss if you are not already familiar with the building, but once inside it functions as a convenient stop when exploring the neighborhood or looking for a quick drink break. The setup is fairly simple, with counter service and access to the shared seating throughout the mall, which gives it a bit more room to sit than a typical standalone shop. The menu is extensive and covers everything from traditional milk teas and fruit teas to some of Happy Lemon's signature cheese foam drinks. The salted cheese series remains one of the more distinctive offerings and is what helped separate the brand from many other bubble tea chains when it first expanded. The combination of sweet tea and lightly salty cheese foam sounds unusual at first, but it creates a balance that works surprisingly well. We ordered the black tea with salted cheese, and the creaminess of the foam against the bold tea base made it easy to see why this drink has built such a following over the years. Beyond the cheese series, there are plenty of options for different preferences. The taro milk tea is a popular choice, while the grapefruit green tea offers something lighter and more refreshing. We appreciated the ability to customize sweetness levels, which is worth taking advantage of since some drinks can lean sweeter than expected at the default setting. The waffle snacks are another menu item that stands out, particularly for anyone looking for something small to pair with their drink rather than ordering tea alone. They come out warm and crisp, making them a nice complement to the cold drinks. Service tends to move quickly, which is important given the steady flow of students, office workers, and shoppers passing through the area. The staff were efficient, and our order was prepared without much of a wait. Being located inside a busy downtown shopping center also makes it a convenient grab-and-go option, though the shared seating in the mall allows for a brief pause if you want to sit and enjoy your drink before heading back out. Happy Lemon remains a reliable stop for the salted cheese series and a broad menu of tea options. It is not a destination in itself, but for a quick drink while exploring Chinatown or the surrounding area, it delivers on consistency and variety without overcomplicating the experience.
