Food is delicious, staff are wonderful! Good atmosphere.

I'm not usually a salad person but if there is a Caesar on the menu I just have to order it, and I'm so glad I did!! Probably the best salad I've ever had. The little crushed up croutons are amazing. The restaurant itself has a very unique vibe, which is okay if it's your thing. For us, the music was far too loud and we couldn't hear each other talk, so we moved outside. I much prefer to enjoy the atmosphere of a place while I eat, and it was very well decorated so this was a shame, but I'd come back just for the food regardless - I'd just take it away or sit outside. The staff are lovely and all seem to be having a really good time which is nice to see :)

Wonderful raw organic quirky place

I thought it was wonderful. We shared a miso soup which was excellent and plentiful. I had the rainbow salad. The dressing was delicious and i enjoyed everything but the cashews just because i could not spear then with my fork.

Pros: Fresh , Organic, Delicious

Cons: A little pricey

Family of 5 approved!

We don’t see raw restaurants often so when we saw Thrive on our plant based radar, we had to check it out! All three of our kids loved it. My son said the avocado toast was the best he ever had and that is the truth! My youngest under 3 ate the whole coconut wrap to herself and wasn’t looking to offer any of it up. The burger, taco salad and kale supreme were delicious as well! The spirulina lemonade was also a huge hit at our table. The people there are so warm, friendly and uplifting, their energy was felt transmuted into the food. We loved the atmosphere, the family enjoyed seeing the place embellished in crystals, tarot cards and the books were great to look at while we waited. The food also didn’t weigh us down, we felt uplifted and ready to trek out on an adventure after lunch! We are looking forward to returning when we are in the area again!

Raw Vegan Restaurant

This place wasn’t for me but it wasn’t terrible. I had the BLT and it did surprisingly taste like a BLT but I didn’t love it. The actual restaurant is pretty nice, I like the wood countertops.

Pros: All Vegan

Not my thing

This is the type of food that anti-vegans have in their head when they imagine an all-vegan restaurant. That said, it is pretty good, just not my thing.

Pros: Food isn't terrible , Prices are reasonable

Cons: All raw

Healthy raw vegan eats and drinks

I had a wonderful experience at thrive. The start are all so sweet and helpful and I got the best vibe from this restaurant. There were raw vegan books and crystals and a cork board for local small businesses.

Not to mention the food is so tasty and healthy! I had the cream of mushroom soup with a side of flax crackers and the hot hemp chocolate drink. The soup was a little on the salty side but what do you expect from a restaurant, they gotta make it taste good. I will definitely be back soon. They even gave me recommendations for local spring water :)

Big hippy vibes

If that’s your thing you may like this place but it was a bit much for me. It’s the stereotype of what people think vegan restaurants are like. The ingredients are good and the food was just ok (in my opinion.)

Pros: Good smoothies

Cons: A little expensive , Hippy vibes , Taste is just, ok.

Raw food done right

Thrive is a special spot with the nicest owner and staff you will ever meet! They deserve to stick around for years to come. If you're a taco salad lover, you HAVE to try theirs!

Friendly and fast service!

Was nervous when I saw they were raw but the Cesar salad was amazing! The croutons are magical. Also enjoyed the iced tea (not too sweet) and lovedddd the lavender smoothie!

The outside seating is nice and charming, too :)

Favorite Place for Food in CO

Thrive is full of a friendly atmosphere, colorful art, delicious smells and superb foodstuffs. They even make chocolate covered kale chips, though they may need to be pre ordered.

AMAZING

Had a wonderful experience here. The food was wonderful, we ordered the blt wrap and one other, j forget the name. Was so good I ended up ordering the sandwich after I finished my wrap. The coconut bacon is SO GOOD. Nothing beats living foods. Great choices for smoothies also. Good smoothie add ins also. The staff were so kind and welcoming and had a beautiful area to enjoy the fall weather

Pros: Lots of great options , Healthy , Unique bacon
