Everyone needs to detox from heavy eating and drinking every now and again and yet not many of us have the luxury of having healthy food prepared for us (nor the talent of making it ourselves).

Life is a good place to go when you're sick of eating out, but still have to. They have a good range of salads and a whole lot of healthy, organic vegetarian dishes that make you feel satisfied yet cleansed rather than sluggish and sleepy.

It's also a good place to sit and watch the world (or at least the part of the world that hangs out around the escalators) go by.

Unfortunately my lunch there was quite rushed - I barely had time to finish my huge plate of salad.

It's not exactly cheap, but if you had to go out and buy ingredients as fresh and hard-to-get (in HK anyway) as these, it wouldn't be much cheaper.

Couple of complaints:
Coffee is crap, because they seem to use soy milk by default and they don't seem to know how to froth it properly (or they're using a kind that doesn't froth at all).

They also gave me yeast-free bread with my salad - I know this is a 'health food' place, but health doesn't meant gluten/yeast-free and dairy-free - yeast, wheats and dairy can all be organic...

The food at life cafe is great!They manage to cook vegeterain food with lots of taste!The decoration (music, atomsphere) is great!Its a nice place to go with a friend. Sit and chat. One thing I have to complaint is the staff. No smile, emotion-less face. Life cafe would be much better if they fire all the old staff and hire better ones!!!

I went with my 2 years old baby and husband last Sunday. They have a small table for 3 and need to climb up by stairs.We try the CAKE set and Cookies set. The food and drink is not fantastic but the atmosphere and the message of the shop is great....Of course the price level is not cheap (e.g. a Salad is $50-70) but as their mission statment says they think promoting Vegetarian Meal is the best thing they can do on earth.The introduce a drink very similar to Coffee

Might also because of it's environmentally friendly nature, the place is not well-conditioned and my boyfriend kept sweating during the hour we've spent in there.

We've ordered 2 mixed fruit juices ($35 each) and a Spinach Tofu Quiche ($70). The juices tastes alright, but not cold enough, just in room temperature. Juices can taste quite errie when serve in room temperature..

The Spinach Tofu Quiche takes LIFE an unreasonable 25 min to prepare. The look of our Quiche is not at all appealing, nonetheless, it tastes good, can taste even better if served hot (now just luke warm).

Just one complaint, the attendants are not at all friendly, they serve customers in cool and distant manners.

再次o係半山電梯人落我上。八點九既Life Cafe 無人幫襯都意料之內,但因為咁而打正旗號唔開音樂(預o左)、唔開冷氣(預o左)同唔開燈(o下?)反而第一次見。要o左個Wheat Free Savory Scone 同Steamed Ginger Soya Milk。個士干個樣似muffin 多過似士干,有semi-dried tomatoes、thymes、rosemary等香草,話明Wheat Free 既士干當然係...。Steamed Ginger Soya Milk 個樣有少少似Latte,入口薑味唔重:相比起佢steam o個陣D 薑味攻到成個地下都聞到既情況,可能D ginger spice 已經蒸發哂。睇在佢o係我話幫趁之後開番音樂、開番冷氣同開番燈,算啦。(註:原來我未入去之前一路都做緊生意,但我唔明......徹底既environmental-friendly?)

This's long been my favourite rest. in SoHo which serves real good veggie/organic dishes in town.Basically a-la-carte are all nice treats. If this's your first time, get the veggie lasagna, the pizza and the flourless chocolate cake, either served warm or cold is nice.The salad size is huge and one could tuck away with it without taking anything else and you'll already feel pretty full.It's always full of regulars during meal times so u'd better catch it with a booking in advance.A five-star res

The salad size is huge and one could tuck away with it without taking anything else and you'll already feel pretty full.

It's always full of regulars during meal times so u'd better catch it with a booking in advance.

A five-star rest. which could hardly find a similar one in town. Dun miss it.

周末想來個悠閒brunch, 即時想起南丫島的書蟲, 但又有點懶, 唔想專登搭船入去. 之前睇食評得知呢度係南島書蟲同一老闆開的, 食物同環境好似都類似, 於是決定試一試佢.由於有咁既期望, 就不期然樣樣都將佢同書蟲比較. 未夠一點上到去, 已幾乎爆滿. 我地坐一樓, 檯椅擺得比較迫, 加上愈來愈多客, 有人企響入口處等位, 好嘈, 早知坐樓下好過. 我點左個brunch set, sauteed mushroom with rye bread咁上下, 用蕃茄黎炒新鮮冬菇, 底下仲有好多我鍾意既炒菠菜. 其實都幾好, 但食緊果陣, 不斷諗起書蟲果個用白汁整既, 雖然係漏d, 但真係好好味. 伴碟既rye bread好似細細塊, 原來好飽肚, 食左一件就投降. 朋友就點左個Mediterranean salad, 有各式蔬菜、芝士、dried tomato等等, 非常大份. Salad dressing用隻碟仔另上, 味道同書蟲既一樣, 不過呢度比得一小碟, 感覺有少少孤寒.呢度既環境同我期望既不大相同, 食完野就走了, 飲品都費事叫, 去第間飲好過.如果無去過書蟲, 如果唔係有少少錯誤

由於有咁既期望, 就不期然樣樣都將佢同書蟲比較. 未夠一點上到去, 已幾乎爆滿. 我地坐一樓, 檯椅擺得比較迫, 加上愈來愈多客, 有人企響入口處等位, 好嘈, 早知坐樓下好過.

呢度既環境同我期望既不大相同, 食完野就走了, 飲品都費事叫, 去第間飲好過.

如果無去過書蟲, 如果唔係有少少錯誤既期望, 可能會鍾意呢間掛?

同三位同事食晏,由於其中一位係素食者,灣仔區o既素食餐廳又唔多,所以決定打的去中環o既Life。一點鬆D黎到,係人鬼參半o既格局,有九成滿,可見呢度依然咁受歡迎。四個人,叫左一個small沙律combo,可選三款沙律﹝一個人黎,可以叫mini,即單款沙律﹞,我地就要左南瓜沙律加兩份意大利黃瓜沙律。由於呢度o既食物份量都幾多同幾飽肚,我地只係要左兩個主菜─是日意大利飯同希臘mousaka。此外,大家都各叫左一杯鮮榨蔬果汁,我就叫一向飲開o既rasta,即係紅菜頭加甘荀汁。沙律首先上場,份量好足,配一片有多種果仁o既粗麥包。南瓜好甜,各款蔬菜亦好新鮮爽脆,加上調得剛好o既橄欖油醋汁,非常醒胃。片麵包好多果仁,好好味,可惜得一片,一人只分得一啖。是日意大利飯用o既係意米(barley),個汁係用新鮮蕃茄同羅勒葉煮o既,再灑上水牛芝士碎,味道清新,質感又幾特別,good!Mousaka係用黑豆代替羊肉碎,中間夾o既茄子亦好juicy,配菠菜汁同蕃茄汁,味道係恰到好處,幾位同事直情懷疑佢加左肉添。由於兩份主菜都好大份,mousaka仲伴有一碟蔬菜沙律,我地食完都好飽下。不過呢,我o既朋友或同事都

不過呢,我o既朋友或同事都係好食之人,即使當時已經好飽,仍然外賣左一件orange polenta cake番去做下午茶!件蛋糕份量都唔細,$40件雖然唔係平,但材料係有機o既,味道又唔錯,都叫值啦!為左配件蛋糕,我仲特登沖左壺有機薄荷黎配添呀!

Came here on an extremely wet evening with a friend. Ordered some power juice or smoothie, 2 snacks and 2 main courses. The snacks turned out to be quite large, and the two of us just couldn't eat everything, so had to pack the leftovers. The snack could be a meal itself.I had 'mousaka' which was a little salty. My friend thought his lasagne was average too. The 'snacks' were great though, so a mixed experience.

可想而知我幾鐘意這裡!南丫島bookworm cafe的posh 版。始終都係bookworm cafe前度老細開的餐廳。但係菜色方面就sophisicated好多。若果大家是為了吃好味有機菜的話﹐我會比較推薦bookworm cafe。若bookworm cafe吃的是偷得浮生半日閒﹐在Life所吃的是Soho chillout bossa nova的燭光晚餐浪漫。二樓會有一個上格床式的cushion位﹐跟三五知己坐在一起﹐是一個脫離範囂的小天堂﹐極度高人一等的享受。若天時好的話﹐頂層不但有燭光的陪襯﹐更有都市中少見點點繁星skyview﹐有一個吃素的男女朋友的話﹐這裡會是最classy最chic的urban health food indulgence。
