KARMA YOGA STUDIO

1132 Massachusetts Ave , Cambridge, MA, 617-547-9642

Aside from being a yoga studio, this place is also a tea house. As I have never been to the yoga studio itself, I am only rating the tea house. Karma has a wide selection of tea and a few types of coffee. The coffee is always served with an individual french press.

The jasmine tea is my favorite, and I was impressed with the fact that Karma is fair trade and that they place a lot of emphasis on the vegan lifestyle. While they do have milk as an option, they donate all proceeds from cow's milk to the Farm Sanctuary, and all of their snacks and desserts are vegan.

Espresso Royale Caffe

I love Espresso Royale! They have such an awesome selection of beverages and snacks. Their bagels are great, and I love the fact that they carry several different flavors of soy cream cheese.

Espresso Royale happens to be a green certified restaurant, so I am giving it five stars for being green.

LIFE ALIVE

Everything here is unique and delicious, but it's so incredibly expensive. I suppose, for the quality of the food that they offer, it's worth it, but it's just not a place that I would visit often because I simply cannot afford to.
For anyone who is willing to shell out $10 or so, I highly recommend all of their unique dishes, as well as their tea.

Urban Renewals

122 Brighton Ave , Allston, MA, 617-783-8387

I try to come here as often as I can. As far a thrift stores go, this is one of the best ones in the Boston area. I have never come in here and left empty handed. Since I try to do about 99% of my shopping secondhand, I've purchased a lot of my clothes here.
I give Urban Renewals four green stars, since obviously it's a thrift store and thrift stores are based on the concept of recycling, and that's pretty much as green as you can get.

Grasshopper Vegetarian Restaurant

I love Grasshopper, always have, and always will.
The food is delicious, the atmosphere is comfortable, and the owner and waitstaff are always friendly. Although their ingredients are probably not organic, they definitely get points for having an all-vegan menu.

I am obsessed with their hot appetizers. The bean cake and the spring rolls are to die for. They have a buffet on the third Sunday, on every month, which is awesome.

Veggie Planet Pizza

Considering how many times I have visited Veggie Planet and had a great experience, I would love to give the place a positive review. The food is pretty good, the live bands at Club Passim are occasionally decent, and the vegan options are also not bad. However, I am extremely put off by the fact that the last time that I was in there, I saw a mouse running around on the floor.
Had there been bugs, I probably would not have cared very much, but a mouse? No, thank you. I'm pretty positive that I am never coming back to this place again.

Tj Scallywaggles Vegan House Of Pizza And Subs

487 Cambridge St , Allston, MA, 617-787-9884

Recently, TJ's started using a different cheese than they have used in the past, and I'll be honest: I am not a fan of the new cheese. It's way too melty, practically liquid, and tends to stick to my teeth. However, regardless of the weird yucky cheese, I still really like this place. I think that the more vegan eateries we have in the Boston area, the better.
Though I am not a huge fan of the pizza, I think that their desserts are amazing. They have a great selection of cookies, cheesecakes, and other such things. Also, everyone who works there is totally friendly and nice.

PHO PASTEUR RESTAURANT

It's called Le's now.
Anyway, it's really good. Never disappoints. I've never had anything on their menu that I didn't love, so I couldn't even recommend anything specific. I say just go there and order the first thing that sounds good, and chances are that it probably will be.

Chipotle Mexican Grill

176 Providence Hwy , Dedham, MA, 781-329-2332

I had never eaten at a Chipotle in my life until recently. Since a lot of people I know are obsessed with Chipotle, I was pretty excited to try it, but then when I finally did, I was disappointed.
It's honestly not that good. The selection is limited and uninspired. I highly prefer Qdoba. Chipotle's vegetarian burrito is rather heavy on the onions, and I HATE onions. So, no thanks.

URBAN OUTFITTERS

.....I don't shop here.
I generally don't buy my clothes new, so I don't really shop at any actual clothing stores, but I happen to find Urban Outfitters particularly annoying. They sell overpriced faux-vintage to people who are rich enough and fashion-obsessed enough to buy it. Oh, and did you know that they donate millions of dollars to the Republican party? It's true.
This company is pretty much the antithesis to everything that I believe in.
