About Life Alive
Our Positive Eating
We started Life Alive in 2004 to serve vibrant, organic whole food in a welcoming, stress-free environment.
We knew we were onto something when we consistently heard from guests that our meals filled them with the energy needed to power their day and our cafes served as an urban oasis to relax and recharge.
This set us on the path to explore the powerful connection between what we eat and how we feel. Over the past twenty years, the more we’ve learned about people, food and mood, the more it’s clear that what we eat is central to living the way we want to live it—filled with energy, optimism and simply feeling good inside and out.
This notion led us to the powerful belief that eating positively—in a way that fosters joy, nourishes your body and respects the planet—is a delicious path toward living positively.
It’s also why, in a world of rushed assembly lines and salad bars, we run a chef’s kitchen. Where every hearty warm grain bowl, flavorful salad, protein-filled wrap, steaming bowl of noodles and nutritious smoothie is chef-crafted and scratch prepared to order. And every thoughtfully-sourced organic ingredient is there for a reason.
We invite you to grab a comfortable seat and discover the uplifting and freeing power of eating food you crave, that also fuels the life you crave.
Life Alive. Eat Positive. Live Positive.

Meet Our Resident Dietitian
We’re thrilled to be partnering with Jasmin Dieb, RDN, a Boston-based functional gut health dietitian, as our in-house nutrition expert.
Jasmin’s path to becoming a dietitian was forged through experiencing severe gut health issues of her own. After working with a dietitian and going through a life-changing year of healing, she felt called to the profession to help others feel their best.
In her private practice, Jasmin helps clients uncover the root causes of digestive issues and build sustainable, science-based habits through energizing, whole food. At Life Alive, she works behind the scenes to support menu development, nutrition strategy and ensuring every dish is crafted to taste as good as it makes you feel.
