    Best vegan food I've ever eaten. I live in a city in Brazil with a lot of vegan restaurants but this is by far the best! A must come when I visit the US... The emperor is my favorite so far...

    A vegetarian's heaven! So many interesting flavor combos to choose from. You can't go wrong. I got 'the Lover' and it was delicious 🍄

    Emperor, Lover, coconut alive, I'm a regular here and I'm not vegetarian. Simply delicious, organic food that fills you and makes you happy/healthy 😊💪

    I now live in Austin, TX where a lot of hippies are populated and I'd expect great vegan restaurants but honestly nothing compares to Life Alive and I'm dying to taste it again.

    Go to Life Alive even if you aren't a vegetarian, don't be scared - the food is yummy! If you are shy, order one of their delish smoothies.

    Aside from weird eclectic decor it's a nice place with friendly staff and fresh food. Salads and bowls are good. A bit pricy.

    Everything is fresh and delicious. Service is very slow. Don't forget to check out the bathroom oasis!

    Order "The Innocent" with garlic and cashews... outstanding! Also, the Almond Joy when you're in the mood for a sweet (but healthy) treat.

    Rude service and you might be waiting for a long time to get your food. You will stare at your ready food for 10 mins as the waiter prioritizes mobile orders over customers sitting in front of them.

    Be sure to specify whether you will be dining in or taking out. I forgot to one time, and it disappointed me to see the unnecessary extra work and wasted resources :(

    Their taster bowls look small at first but are quite filling. I've never been disappointed!
