One of the best!! - Edit
A retro, 1950s diner now serving only vegan and vegetarian dishes. The food is so good, the service is great and, not for nothing, the server is the nicest guy…and so cute!! We are regulars, dining in and take out. Check the hours, and then come eat here!!

Just go! - Edit
There are basically no vegan restaurants along Route 7 once you leave Burlington Vermont. This place is a godsend and it’s super cute to boot. Had a really nice meal here on a rainy, slightly chilly afternoon. It was fun to sit in the diner booth drinking coffee and eating my slice of cake like I was in some movie set in the 1930s. There’s also a big assortment of veggie bowls on the menu, along with tofu nuggets, burgers, fries and other diner items. Let’s keep this place in business!!

Great place with lots of yummy options - Edit
We ordered:
Read more*Bang bang cauliflower 😋👍🏼
*Crabby Cakes 🙂👍🏼
*Reuben Sandwich (bread was great, toppings too. Filling should have been "shredded" for better mouth‐feel) but overall, good.
*Sweet Potato Buddha Bowl (very good).
Would highly recommended if in the area!!
Pros: Diversity of choices, Friendly staff

That BBQ Sauce, though - Edit
For those familiar with the Boston vegan/vegetarian scene, you likely know and love Veggie Galaxy. What Thrive Diner does not only rivals them, they make everything feel less heavy while still giving you tons of flavor. And the vibe is chill and quiet, which made for a relaxing dinner. Between the four of us we tried the Reuben with almond parm fries, jerky tacos with spicy kale slaw, tofu nuggets with a side of BBQ (awesome sauce), soup of the day which was Dal, and plain fries. Everyone enjoyed everything, including our drinks of lemonade, natural blueberry soda, and herbal iced tea. Will drive a long way to eat here again.

Adorable diner with cozy vibes 🤩 - Edit
If you ever get a chance to visit this place, please go for it. The atmosphere reminds me of an old school diner and it’s so cutely decorated. The customer service is great and the food was delicious! I would highly recommend the cauliflower tacos (I got the sriracha ones.) They were so yummy!! Also my hubby got the beyond burger and he loved it. The chocolate mousse to end it off was worth coming back for everyday for! Unfortunately, I forgot to take pics of the food after a long day of hiking, I was ready to eat 😁

Amazing food, service and ambiance! - Edit
We loved our Street Tacos (fajita-style) and Spicy Tofu bang-bang. Great natural soda and deserts.

Even though the small diner had all the booths filled and a party of six waiting, the counter was open and the server moved us to a booth soon after we ordered. 🙏🏼
Pros: The varied all-vegan menu, Service, Desserts!

Revitalizing Post-Snowboarding Bliss: A Nutrient Oasis Unveiled! - Edit
For fellow snow enthusiasts seeking a seamless dining experience without the hassle of packing meals, this 5-star vegan gem, Thrive Diner, pleasantly caught me by surprise with its nutrient-packed, generously portioned bowls. Nestled near downtown Berkshire, MA, and within striking distance of three ski centers, including the exhilarating Jiminy Peak, this restaurant is a beacon for post-snowboarding nourishment.
Read moreAmidst the culinary treasures, the place boasts a uniquely curved ceiling that enhances the overall dining ambiance, creating an incredibly pleasant atmosphere. Whether you opt for a cozy dinner in or the convenience of takeout, Thrive Diner ensures a delightful experience. During a recent dinner outing with my daughter and a friend, we savored various dishes, and while the specifics eluded me, the Mediterranean dish left an indelible mark. So much so that the next day, I couldn't resist ordering three takeouts!
Join me for a culinary journey that transcends the ordinary, combining adventure on the slopes with the exquisite flavors of Thrive Diner.
Pros: Perfect for dinner in or takeout, One bowl more beautiful than the other, There's Kombucha in the glass
Cons: Does't deliver over long distances such as 3 hours, The girls ask for a container to take leftover, There's no snow in the summer LOL.

Cute refurbished diner (an original) with an extensive and varied menu. Quick and friendly service. Two of us went and both very much enjoyed our selections. Also had carrot cake for dessert. Very yummy. If we lived nearby we’d be going every week.

What a surprise - Edit
I wasn’t expecting that I could find an amazing full vegan place in the area, and yet this place didn’t disappoint me. I had a soup and rice, and vegan crab cakes and a piece of sunflower seed butter cake. Everything was perfect. I really enjoyed the food. Very friendly staff, great service.

Excellent food and service - Edit
Not many vegan options in the area so this place is top notch on my list. Food was delicious, restaurant was clean, and the service was great even though we sat down close to closing time. 10/10!

Adorable diner, great food! - Edit
We ordered takeout as we were with our dogs and picked up our food to eat at a dog friendly brewery, but the inside of this place is just adorable! It looks like you have traveled back in time! The food was much faster than we expected for pickup: it said it could take 30/40 mins but was actually ready in 15. Everything we got was delicious but especially recommend the Buffalo cauliflower wings and the tofu nuggets in bang-bang sauce!

Surprising Find - All Vegan Diner - Edit
My wife and I stopped here for lunch. The staff were super friendly and even let our dog come inside the restaurant as it was too hot to leave her in the car. The menu was very extensive, just like many diners. I had a reuben sandwich and my wife had a buddha bowl. Overall a great experience.

Healthy, Delicious, WFPB Vegan Food in the Berkshires! - Edit
My mom has been raving about this place since it opened, and we finally got a chance to go together this weekend. Loved it! Lots of healthy whole food plant based options, plenty of vegan comfort food and many decadent desserts. We shared two buddha bowls and they were both delicious! Nuanced flavor, diverse ingredients, no over the top sauces, oils, etc. Add in the vintage diner vibe (and the stories my mom had of going there in the late 50s-60s) and it's a total win for Pittsfield and the Berkshires!
