Healthy and convenient to have for lunch, no guilt feeling at all. Buddha Bowl - presentation is fantastic - taste delicious and guilt free feeling - simple ingredients and price right! Strawberry Bliss - strawberry, banana, dates, coconut yogurt, coconut milk - refreshing and delicious - not too sweet, I love it! Everything I ordered was great and fantastic! Belly approved for sure! Highly recommended! Cons: Order takes time to get and it's super busy. Make sure you're not super hungry when you come here.

From the moment you walk in, the employees greet you with a smile and genuinely check in to see if you need any help. That level of hospitality is amazing and really makes you feel welcome.

Found our way here after walking around the Prudential Center (they also have an entrance on…read moreHuntington) and were surprised at the plethora of sandwiches and Paninis. We split their signature Pressed panini and were delighted- so flavorful. Service was quick. You order, take a number and out it comes delivered to your table. The menu is extensive- lots of drinks, juices, smoothies, breakfast sandwiches and burritos, toasts, pastries, burgers, chicken sandwiches, paninis, salads, humus bowls and signature bowls and mac n' cheeses. Note each of these categories has many choices. Everything is fresh and flavorful! Will definitely be back.

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.

3 Stars for a good protein smoothie bowl, but meh customer service and a truly filthy bathroom…read more I was looking for a quick, healthy bite while doing some window shopping in the area and saw Pressed Juicery had a small location a few steps down from the sidewalk, with outdoor seating. Since it was beautiful outside, this looked like the right spot! They also had a poster highlighting their Protein functional bowl, so I knew my order. As I walked in, the staff member at the counter was on her Bluetooth headphones and having a full conversation with a friend while simultaneously trying to take down someone's order. It was confusing to everyone involved and took some time. Same when I ordered, and it looked like another friend had come in and joined her behind the counter to chat (didn't see any sign of this person working there, but I may be wrong). Oh well, a bit of an awkward ordering process is not a big deal. The bowl itself was actually really tasty. It was a bit sweet for my taste, but it was large and satiating. I'd definitely recommend! Quick note that if you are needing the bathroom, I'd wait until your next stop. It was one pretty dirty stall and left me wondering if I should have eaten there... Overall, a good product, but the service and cleanliness of the facility left something to be desired.

Great service and product. I ordered an original acai bowl here on a weekday evening. The server…read morewas kind and there were a good amount of other people in the store.

I first visited Life Alive Organic Cafe in Salem, so when I was back in Boston a couple of weeks…read morelater, it felt like a reliable choice for vegetarian options. My boyfriend and I stopped in for an early dinner before walking around the city. We happened to be visiting during a heat wave weekend, which made our plans a little challenging, but we still made it work. For dinner, I was hungry but not sure I had enough of an appetite for both an appetizer and a meal. I ended up ordering the tofu skewers anyway because they sounded interesting, and they came with peanut sauce. For my main, I ordered the mushroom shawarma pita, which included roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions, hummus, Mediterranean salad mix, shaved vegetables, herbs, harissa zhoug, and lemon tahini sauces in a whole grain pita. The pita was described as a low-calorie handheld, but it was packed to the brim. It looked beautiful, but I definitely could not finish it. I made it through one pita half and some of the filling from the second half before calling it quits. There were just a lot of flavors going on. I think it would have been easier to enjoy if the dish had focused on one or two flavor profiles instead of feeling like everything was packed into one pita. Overall, it was good, filling, and satisfying. I also had a kombucha with my meal, which was my attempt at trying to keep cool on a hot summer evening. If I go back, I'll probably keep it simple and order either an appetizer or an entree, because the portions are filling enough that I don't think I'd need both.

They have indoor and outdoor seating, a few charge points (which I was grateful for as it meant I would be able to go home later), and really friendly staff. They share a space with a yoga studio and people enter and exit through the restaurant which was unexpected. Life alive on the whole is pretty consistent and great. Fun fact, while I was enjoying a mango matcha in the South end my husband was enjoying one in dedham. It was unplanned.

Being situated across from the beach, this gem is the perfect spot to grab a smoothie and enjoy the day. What I love the most? The service and friendliness of the staff. They are so excited about this place, their offerings, and want you to love it. Which I did. They were so helpful, and made the experience worth going back to again and again! Order: The S'mores shake (HOW is this ~200 calories?!) and blue mega tea. Yum! A bit pricey in total, but comparable to any other place in Boston.

While you would never guess the presence of protein powder, the taste of peanut butter is slightly overwhelming. As a caveat you are not getting a milk shake, but as far as protein based smoothies go definitively worth a shot. The girls working were the sweetest and worked with me to pick a flavor! Tip: Maybe split a flavor, they are good sized and filling!

I…read morewould definitely recommend their new Protein Acai bowl, it has amazing macros and is packed with tasty and healthy ingredients!! I appreciate that their base isn't overly sweet and they give an abundance of toppings for an amazing variety of texture. To be fair, this spot is a little pricey so maybe a treat just every once in a while, but you're bound to be satisfied anytime you do choose to come! 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. From my experience, the service is kind and helpful, and the vibes (which are similar across all their locations) feel very pristine and calming. I definitely recommend this spot and can't wait to try more of their flavor combos!

However, my most recent experiences have been better! I have been greeted with kind service and my orders have been made well. I haven't tried the freezes again since my last experience, but the acai bowl I had was great. 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. I appreciated the attention to detail and taking a moment to make my experience better, rather than just skipping out on the topping. This recent experience was encouraging enough for me to come back sometime soon.

It not only held up well, it tasted even better. It was 1:30pm on a Monday and the place was packed! It's a well-oiled machine!

I ordered through DoorDash so I'm not sure how much blame pressed cafe gets, but the açaí bowl I…read moregot was basically a soup with how watery it was. The bottom of the bowl was slightly cold so maybe the DoorDasher had it under a heater, I don't know. Either way I wasted $15 on an açaí bowl that was gross. You can see in the two pics where I tilt it and it slides easily (because it's water). This was very disappointing for my daughter and she couldn't eat any of it. I've had one delivered from tropical smoothie cafe that arrived in an edible state and was delicious. It was just as expensive as this one and half the size, but atleast it was edible and yummy. Edit: Changing from 2 stars to 3. I called the store and the manager offered to remake it for me so if that's one good, this review can be bumped up to 4-5 stars :D Edit 2: Jose took care of it for me with awesome service. Unfortunately the açaí bowl was only okay so 4 stars is as good as this review will get.
