Life Alive brings the food alive
It’s a common tradition to credit the food that “made” you. Bill Gates’ college years always has a cameo of the pizza at Pinnochio’s, and Jensen’s Huang early career stories never fail to include the pancakes at Denny’s. One of the restaurants that has been a staple in my college years—whether eating alone, with friends, or with my UROP supervisor—is Life Alive Organic Café in Kendall Square. From grain and acaí bowls to salads and colorful smoothies, Life Alive has the perfect menu of feel-good, taste-good, beautiful food.
