Delicious AND Nutritious

Exemplified by their motto, “Eat, Drink, and Be Berry,” the Madison and New Haven cafés share nearly identical menus that specialize in Californian- and Hawaiian-style fruit bowls. Veggie salads, open-face sammies, almond-milk smoothies, and connoisseur coffees round out the concise but diverse menus.

The daily soups and daily specials all are vegan. Except for honey that can be omitted and the add-ons of bee pollen or whey protein, everything else is vegan, though Life Bowls sems to want to keep that a secret. Distinct from so much vegan food that is just junk food, the entire menu scores high for nutrition. No fried foods, no white sugar, no mock meats. Everything served here is both delicious and nutritious.

The Madison café on picturesque Main Street is across the street from R.J. Julia Booksellers, the region’s finest independent bookstore, and right next door to the Madison Cinema, formerly exclusively an arthouse that survived the lockdown shakedown by now featuring many Hollywood flicks. Whereas the interiors of the cafés at both locations are small with limited seating, the Madison site features tables outside its front entrance sheltered by an overhead portico that provides comfortable dining nearly year-round. Still, most local folks come here for takeout.

Seasonally, its food truck expands its outreach to the underserved communities outside of New Haven and Madison. Every town in Connecticut deserves to be treated to the high nutritional standards of Life Bowls.

Healthy smoothies and great sandwiches

Their entire menu is basically vegan minus the honey in their smoothies. The chickpea salad sandwich is delicious. It comes with vegan mayo and sourdough toast. The smoothies are also delicious. Just make sure to ask for no honey.

Pros: Their smoothies are great and healthy, Chickpea salad sandwich
