Excellent food but... - Edit
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.

Great flavorful raw food - Edit
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.

Lots of plastic - Edit
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.
Read morePros: 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. - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Entirely vegan
Cons: Neither of the things we got tasted okay, You could do better at home I promise

Rainbow Magic - not quite magical - Edit
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
Read morePros: Very healthy, Decently tasty, Reasonable prices
Cons: Service, Very small tables inside

So glad to have this place in town - Edit
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.😄
Read morePros: Good hours, friendly staff, tasty food
Cons: not a lot of seating options, can be slow , uses agave syrup

Thrive to the max - Edit
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.

AMAZING SERVICE - Edit
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!
Read morePros: Great food, Everyone here believes in what they’re doing

Amazing Raw Vegan & GF - Edit
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!

LOVE This Place - Edit
Thrive is incredible!
Read moreRaw 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
