Thanks to Jessica for sending news about Life Alive Organic Cafe coming to the former SoulCycle space.
From a press release:
“Life Alive Organic Café is thrilled to announce its expansion into Washington, D.C. as the brand’s first-ever location outside of its home state of Massachusetts. This marks a significant milestone for the beloved concept (now in its 20th year) known for its invigorating, made-from-scratch food. The D.C. cafe will be located in the West End at 2301 M St NW.

“At Life Alive, we believe that unlocking true well-being begins with what’s on your plate. We are delighted to bring our thoughtfully-sourced organic food to Washington, D.C.,” says CEO Bryan Timko. “Opening in the Nation’s Capital allows us to share our passion for crafting food that tastes as good as it makes you feel with a new community. As we celebrate 20 years of serving convenient, nourishing meals, we are excited to connect with D.C. residents and invite them to join us when we open in the near future.”
Life Alive cafe’s aim to provide a warm and inviting environment for guests to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, and the D.C. location will be no different. Guests can expect an elevated design with eclectic art, cozy nooks, ample plugs, and complimentary Wi-Fi. The hope is for the light-filled, spacious cafe to provide the West End neighborhood with an uplifting gathering place for guests to meet, linger, and simply feel at home.
As part of the company’s “Eat Positive. Live Positive.” vision, Life Alive is committed to providing guests with food that not only tastes amazing, but also leaves them feeling energized, uplifted, and fully alive. The chef-inspired menu offers a wide variety of options, including hearty warm grain bowls, salads, ramen-style noodles dishes, soups, açaí bowls and smoothies. All dishes are artfully prepared from scratch daily prioritizing whole, organic ingredients.
Life Alive’s chefs chop, simmer, steam and roast each vegetable, legume, and whole grain with intention to create mouthwatering textures and flavors in each made-to-order dish. The cafe also takes pride in its rotating seasonal menu, which allows guests to enjoy ingredients at their peak freshness, quality, and nutritional value.
