The Life Alive Urban Oasis & Organic Cafe is exactly what its name claims: located in downtown Lowell, this cafe is a healthy and inviting retreat from the busy city streets.

The Life Alive mission is 'to personally feed you well... with great food, healthy products and positive living options, so that you can truly know 'healthy' can be a pleasure!' Brightly and colorfully decorated, with a large community bulletin board, sitting area with books, friendly staff, and wide selection of healthy foods, Life Alive is perfect for a solo trip out, a quick lunch date, or a meal out with the whole family.

The cafe offers several choices of unprocessed, whole meals, available as a bowl (around $8), wrap ($7-$9), or 'taster plate' ($4-$5). Soups and stews are freshly made daily. Simple sides, which are perfect for little ones, are available for $.50-$2 each and include apple slices, fresh cheese, hard boiled eggs, and hummus.

Life Alive is known for its homemade smoothies and juices (both around $5), which are also great for kids. Other beverages include organic teas, solar-dried coffee, wheatgrass and chai. The counters are covered with baskets of organic snacks and desserts. The staff is attentive, friendly, and willing to answer any questions you may have about their food. Take-out is available by calling (978) 453-1311.

While the main focus of Life Alive seems to be its food, almost half of the actual space is taken up by other 'healthy living' products. A large community bulletin board is covered with fliers and pamphlets advertising local health- and fitness-oriented businesses.

Herbs, essential oils and supplements line one wall, while several displays of cookbooks, health guides and CDs are scattered throughout the cafe. Body care products for kids and adults, candles, and incense are located next to the sitting area, where more books are stacked for customers to leaf through. Finally, Life Alive offers weekly workshops and classes on nutrition and health.
