Green Life is one of Mamaroneck’s most beloved local gems, and it has a great origin story to boot. The restaurant was founded in 2015 by three local Westchester brothers — Anthony, Gregory, and Mark Caligiuri — who noticed that the area was missing a genuinely health-focused dining spot. Rather than just slapping “healthy” on the menu and calling it a day, their goal was to make sure taste was equal to nutrition — because what’s the point of eating well if you’re not enjoying it?
The menu is seriously impressive in its range. Think salads, juices, wraps, soups, sandwiches, and even meal prep options for those who want to keep the healthy streak going all week long. Their cold-pressed juices are imaginatively crafted — from an “antioxidant powerhouse” blend of kale, spinach, cucumber, green apple, and ginger to a “hydration” mix of strawberries, apple, and coconut water. They’ve also got burgers on portobello buns, wild salmon burgers, acai bowls, and even a chipotle chicken sandwich for when you want something with a little kick.
The community clearly loves them. Green Life has won Best of Westchester for Best Health-Food Café multiple years running (2019, 2020, and 2021), and also took home the award for Best Smoothies in 2021. They’ve racked up a serious following on social media too, which makes sense when your food is this colorful and photogenic. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or stocking up on meal prep for the week, Green Life has become a true Westchester staple worth the trip.
