Hello Lisa or Anna I'm guessing yall the owners,, anyway I've been to this place 3 times and yes it's my fault but no restaurant should be taking this long to serve food, let a long a smoothie ( seriously almost 40 minutes) I spoke with other people inside the restaurant had to wait longer than me to the point where people was walking toward the counter looking for their name to find out what going on with their food that how long some people had to wait that wild and then the delivery drivers had to wait even longer,,,, honestly what's going on but anyway do better because something is not working inside the restaurant so please find out what's going on and fixed you're customers deserve better than that

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.

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!

While waiting for our drinks, I made the mistake of checking Yelp and saw the photo of the rat in the display case posted by someone. I really wish I hadn't seen that. Probably should've asked for my money back after that. Drinks & Experience The juices were fresh, but they took a while to come out considering it wasn't too busy. There are a few small bistro tables, so we sat and had our drinks there. Overall 2.5 stars -- fresh juice, but that Yelp photo ruined the experience for me. Probably wouldn't come back.

I also asked a bunch of annoying q's about what I saw on DD vs. in store. Malik was patient, helpful, and even saved me $15 ($5/day) from the DD price bc I didn't need bottled water. And I was dreading the haul home until Malik packaged everything up (by day) like you'd expect walking out of a department store. Awesome.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So far, I've had the short rib mac n cheese, steak and cheese, spring fling smoothie and the Mykonos smoothie. The mac n cheese is decent; it's creamy with a crust.

The thick cut fries are perfectly seasoned with salt and pepper. The service is friendly and efficient. The cashiers are very knowledgeable of the menu. The space is clean and feels welcoming.
