Livite — Restaurant in Brookline

Be careful with this place. If you want your food vegan, which it states it is on their menus, they don't actually make it vegan. I found this out because I order vegan as a shortcut due to a serious allergy and also note it every place I can on the order. I didn't realize they had contaminated my food with whey, cheese, and some type of salad dressing until I called to verify since I wasn't expecting cheese. I ended up tossing the entire order rather than end up using my epipen in the middle of a workday. This does actually violate Massachusetts food safety guidelines and should be noted. If veganism matters to you or you also have food allergies more serious than a rash, as most are, I would either avoid or consider other avenues. Stay safe!

Edit since I can't reply to the follow up shown below: This is the opposite of what the actual restaurant said when I called. Those items listed are also none of the items I had in my order. I don't know if you mixed me up with another customer or are being intentionally misleading in front of others, which is not a good look for the business. When I called I was told clearly to toss out the items because they were unsafe to consume and had dairy added to them. It was made out to as they hadn't seen the allergen info (they did first try to cast blame on me for not providing it until I made clear it was written in 3 different places), but if something is listed as vegan it should NEVER have the risk of dairy being added at all. Again, this is a code violation. Vegans and allergen individuals, do continue to stay far away from this business. The dishonesty is hammering that home for me as it's clear this wasn't an honest mistake. It is how they are doing business (cutting corners perhaps,...

I usually order through Uber eats, but I happened to be in the area and went inside for the first time. Although they were super busy, service was quick, and the staff was friendly and attentive. While waiting, I watched the cashier greet regular customers by name and engage in small conversations. The place smelled amazing, and I was just getting hungrier by the second. We ordered my usual, the bacon chicken wrap, and a Greek chicken wrap, a which never disappoints, and then a classic chicken quesadilla to split with my boyfriend because we both wanted to try something different. We should've both gotten the quesadilla! It was so good. The plantain chips are so light and crispy, I always order an extra side order. We went for the strawberry lemonade this time because they were sold out of "The Cure", which I normally order. Everything here is wonderful... even the local artwork...

Update.... Better than ever! I've been slowly trying all the vegetarian options on the menu and I am so pleased. The only wrap that needs some love is the jalapeno wrap. Not the worse but definitely could be better considering how good everything else is. Their jalapeno homemade sauce..... Holy cow.... Sooooo good! The people that work there make it even better every time. Love this place, by far one of my faves in the area.

I've been to this place several times now and have never been disappointed. Their smoothies are all delicious. The salads are perfect size and everything is always fresh.

My favorite is the buffolatorian and veggie burrito wrap. So so good and all wraps come with a side of plantain chips. My favorite tea is the ginger/lemon tea, I highly recommend it.

This place has a ton of options for vegetarian people. Definitely worth the visit when...
