Excellent food but...

Their food and selections are very good. I had a taco burger and it was delicious. However their prices were ridiculous for the portion size! $12 for a burger that was the size of a slider! Soup portion for $8 that was a small cup. I won’t be back to say the least! If portion size matters to you, then stay away as you too will be dissatisfied.

Pros: Food taste

Cons: Prices, Portion sizes

Fantastic!

Charming service. Nurturing environment. Bacon Burger is *celestial.* Mushroom soup is good. MC SALAD is hearty and delicious.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Haven't found one! As long as it's not too busy.

Great flavorful raw food

The food is great here. Lots of options, and it is so flavorful you forget it’s so healthy. You can get just a smoothie or a full dinner. Worth the prices.

Great food served with great attitude

I was visiting Boulder and tried to find a vegan restaurant. I was very impressed with the friendliness and attentiveness of the people who took my order and served the food. I ordered miso soup, pad thai, and a smoothy and all were excellent.

Pros: Tasty creative food, Raw, Friendly staff

Cons: Outside seating could be a bit better kept up

Lots of plastic

Food was tasty, service was great. But everything was packaged and served on and in plastic. Granted, it was all compostable, but the plastic presentation took away from how good the food looked. A little on the pricier side.

Pros: All vegan, organic, and raw, Unique vibe, Friendly service

Cons: All plastic utensils, bowls, boxes, and plates, Pricier (albeit for higher quality food)

There was literal grass in my burger.

The vibe of thrive isn’t for everyone. Crystals, patchouli, EDM. I can get over that though, the food I cannot forgive. The Bakun Burger might be the worst vegan burger I’ve ever tried, and the Tropical Smoothie tasted like a banana rolled on the floor and then blended. I promise you could make something better at home.

Pros: Entirely vegan

Cons: Neither of the things we got tasted okay, You could do better at home I promise

Rainbow Magic - not quite magical

I ordered the Rainbow Magic salad. It tasted pretty good but not great. The ingredients are incredibly healthy though and that’s what really matters. Most of the employees seemed like they were stoned out of their minds - you decide if that’s a pro or con

Pros: Very healthy, Decently tasty, Reasonable prices

Cons: Service, Very small tables inside

So glad to have this place in town

Thrive is great, I know I can get all organic food there and they have a variety of options. I would like to see some different things offered sometimes for us regulars. Also me and some employees feel agave is not healthy and should not be used but they do put it in sauces and things. If you are avoiding processed sugars, be careful what you order here and ask about ingredients. There is sugar in some form (agave, coconut, etc) added to a lot of items. would love to see kid meal options that aren't sweet. The seating is very casual and no tables inside just bar seating. Also the wait for food can be long, sometimes they forget your order, but that's part of the vibe so don't go here if you're in a big hurry.😄

Pros: Good hours, friendly staff, tasty food

Cons: not a lot of seating options, can be slow , uses agave syrup

The highlight of my every Colorado visit

Visited 7 times now (from NYC). This may very well be my favorite eatery in the world (70+ countries). Everything is heavenly.

Thrive to the max

This place is completely amazing. I love vegan and raw and this place presents a perfect marriage of both - it’s the best of everything. I have a few food sensitivities and the staff was totally accommodating. We met the owner and he was so incredibly gracious even though we got our times wrong and came a tad after closing. Everyone just bleeds love and kindness in this place - so that combined with awesome food makes the whole experience feel like heaven. We are from out of town and I eat here every single day when I’m in the area.

Pros: Outstanding food and service, Totally cool vibe, Fabulous location

AMAZING SERVICE

My wife and I were in town And she is vegan. She told me all about this place now excited she was to eat here. We went for a hike and when we got back we realized that it was Sunday and the place closes a couple hours early. They close at five on Sunday and we walked through the door in 10 minutes after seven. Corey the owner was there and he was nice enough to make her a meal anyway. The food was super amazing and she was so relieved. For me, I could not believe the service. Two hours after they close and the guy listen to her for a minute and said “yeah I can probably whip something up for you guys no problem.“ GREAT service here!

Pros: Great food, Everyone here believes in what they’re doing

Wondeful raw cafe!

My favorite vegan food establishment! Cozy little cafe, with nice outdoor and indoor seating. This is the only place I have been to that I could close my eyes and pick something off the menu:) And definitely budget friendly

Pros: Allergy friendly!, Everything that can be made in house IS, Any "outsourced" items are locally crafted :)

Amazing Raw Vegan & GF

This place makes me realize raw vegan is so doable. We ordered the pad thai with zoodles, taco salad, nacho cheeze kale chips, and banana sushi (banana, almond butter, cinnamon, hemp hearts, and raisins) - which was basically a desert! Everything was so incredible. 100% will come back here!

Pros: Amazing flavors, high quality ingredients , Dog friendly! Great outdoor seating , Friendly staff

Cons: Expensive , I’m going to spend a lot of $ here

LOVE This Place

Thrive is incredible!

Raw food prepared fresh and it's all so damn yummy. I'm addicted to the Nori Wrap and the Natural High Smoothie.

They have soup which is incredible. Their miso soup is like nothing else I've ever tasted and if you want something hearty and warming you can't go wrong. Their mushroom soup is also amazing.

Oh, and they have a taco salad that is to die for and ridiculously filling.

It's a fairly small cafe with plenty of outdoor seating which is great in Boulder. The staff is truly lovely and the location is easy to get to and they have their own parking.

Pros: Amazing Raw Food, Great Staff
