Organic Café to Open New Location in Burlington This Summer

BURLINGTON, MA — Life Alive Organic Café will open a new location at Burlington Square this summer, marking the latest expansion for the Massachusetts-based food brand focused on health-conscious meals.

The café, set to occupy 3,800 square feet at 91 Middlesex Turnpike, will be among the brand’s largest, with seating for more than 90 guests. It will include a specialty coffee and espresso bar—one of only two Life Alive locations to offer such a feature.

Plans for the café were approved last year by the Planning Board.

The Burlington café will offer a menu of made-to-order grain bowls, salads, noodles, wraps, and smoothies. Dishes will highlight organic, minimally processed ingredients and seasonal produce, including summer menu items like a falafel grain bowl and roasted corn fritters, according to a statement.

The space is designed to serve as a flexible gathering spot for business professionals and local residents. Amenities will include free Wi-Fi, plenty of power outlets, and a spacious outdoor patio.

Founded in 2004, Life Alive currently operates 13 cafes in Massachusetts and Washington, D.C. The Burlington location will be the fourteenth, with additional expansion plans in Northern Virginia later this year.

Company officials said the new site was chosen in response to frequent customer requests for a presence in Burlington, a growing business and retail area.

The brand also recently launched a customer rewards program, &Thrive, offering access to exclusive menu items and promotional perks.

Life Alive's Burlington café is expected to open later this summer.
