LIFE ALIVE

"This funky and eclectic restaurant serves nutritious and delicious rice dishes made with organic produce. Visitors will also appreciate the vegan skincare products and books in their shop. Almost all of the entrées are vegan (sans cheese). Soy cheese is offered also. The rice dishes are made with combinations of tofu, various greens, corn, tomato, beets, mushrooms, carrots, and sprouts. The meals are topped with their signature sauces such as ginger Nama Shoyu or Sesame or Ginger Miso. I have tried almost all and really love their meals! I recently dined on their signature dish, the Goddess which is a dish of broccoli, tofu, carrots, beets, and broccoli over brown rice in a ginger Nama Shoyu dressing. For a small extra charge, they can add items to your meal. For a nominal cost, I added avocado and shiitake mushrooms.

Another favorite of mine is their "The Healer" meal. This contains steamed greens, broccoli, and sunflower sprouts over brown rice in a flax seed oil, nutritional yeast, and "Bragg's liquid amino acids" dressing. Both meals were incredibly fantastic! The café also offers soups, salads, and noodles. Their smoothies and herbal tea blends are not to be missed either! My favorite smoothie is the "LustAlive". It is a combo of strawberries, chocolate, bananas, and vegan ice cream with rice milk.Their vegan cookies (especially the chocolate mint) are melt-in-your mouth treats that will surely satisfy your sweet tooth! Two thumbs up to LifeAlive for their tasty, creative, and nutritious meals!"
