    Great place and friendly staff. I enjoyed the taco slad. The atmosphere is chill and has good vibes. The guy who served them to me shared a lot of information about eating raw and preparing my own nacho salad since its a new life style for me. A woman even told me about different restaurants to get raw food. Love the place and Ill be back.

    It has been a true pleasure & blessing to have access to such an amazing raw vegan restaurant. Anyone who is raw vegan knows how rare these are, and when you do find them they are often subpar and don’t last long. But not Thrive. Thrive will exceed your expectations and preconceived notions of what “raw vegan” is by offering an extensive, intricate menu birthed from the owner’s incredible raw culinary knowledge that I can guarantee even non-vegans will love. Ive been coming here upwards of 20 times per month and is often the highlight of my day. And the fact it’s all organic and locally sourced (as much as they can) is the “raw vegan” icing on top ;). I am extremely grateful for both this restaurant and the staff, who are just as incredible as the food. Thank you, so much.

    Raw food yay! Really delicious and vital food! Precious and kind employees. I loved the vibrant burger and miso soup kicked up a few notches, all made from plant-based foods. Check out my awesome burger picture! I could taste every different element in both burger and soup, so delicious. It feels like the team prays over the food as they prepare it, it truly hums! Grace. I really appreciate you guys and I will be a frequent flyer! I fell in love with raw food restaurants in Austin and I’m so glad to have finally found one here! #glutenfree #dairyfree #vegan

    So full, so delicious. I got the burger and my friend got the pad Thai. Awesome music and vibes and even did a little card reading. I love this place!

    Amazing! Feels extremely Boulder in all the best ways. The vibe is great, but the food is truly excellent. I never had raw vegan food before and I plan to come back here often! Perfection!

    Such a great little stop in boulder, especially after a hike! Thrive is a fully vegan (raw I think) eatery with a whole bunch of options. I had the nori wrap with the vegan meat option the staff recommended and it was DELICIOUS. Also was a great portion for lunch, along with the smoothie. There were a ton of smoothie options, and you can make it a bowl. Staff was also very friendly despite being pretty busy, definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

    This place offers some of the best natural nourishment in the world. I’ve went on three world wide vegan tours and let me tell you this place competes with the best of the best. Not only is the food second to none, maybe tied with few, but the team that the owner has built around him just seem like such great people. The type of people who understand that the energy of the chef creating the food is almost just as important as the ingredients going in to the meal. Great work Thrive! Y’all keep it up. Thank you thank you!

    Great option for vegan oil-free, no added sugar diets! A huge plus! Not a lot of seating, but they do have outdoor tables and "lounge area." Fair warning, they are not regularly cleaned, similar to eating at the park. To-go was a great option though. "Cheddar" broccoli soup is amazing! And I love their coconut bakun "BLT". I added avocado to mine. Very filling smoothies too. The Natural High Smoothie with avocado replacing the banana is a great way to cut sugar as well! Delicious! Employees are friendly, and there is an overall good atmosphere and vibe. 😎✌️

    Very unique concept. I liked the menu but would definitely add some more comfort foods. It’s a niche thing as it is now. Very nice ingredients and awesome combinations. I enjoyed my mushrooms/coconut soup very much but the burger was served cold which is not what I like/expect from burgers. It’s a very nice looking place and it has a great vibe. I would just skip the burger tho.

    Hands down one of the BEST, if not the BEST organic locally sourced healthy food restaurants in Colorado, let alone Boulder!

    I really love the concept of this place, and the flavor in their foods is amazing. However, it feels rundown and dirty. This is the second time I’ve used the bathroom now where it smells absolutely horrific and there’s no fan. The floors are really dirty and the paint is chipping and the outdoor patio isn’t well kept. I would expect a place that doesn’t cook their food to place extra emphasis on cleanliness.

    Vibes, great vibes. My family stopped in to get some salads and blue lemonade. Oh, wow - the plants! The love! This place is a druid's dream café. The owner is a super-chill dude, offered my mom a cutting from a particularly beautiful hanging plant. The salads were very, very good. I need to go back to try the rest of their menu.

    This is my go-to spot for over a year now! I literally recommend all of my friends and family. All of their smoothies are delicious, you can try any one and be satisfied. ANDDD Their soups...especially their broccoli cheddar😩😩😩 so good. Also everyone who works here is so nice, the food comes quick, and everything is super healthy. Every time I eat here, it’s good vibes and good food.

  • 5/5 Ashley G. 1 year ago on Google
    Vegan friendly and protein heavy options which I appreciated. What came out vs what I thought the menu said was slightly different but all was delicious! The smoothies are definitely worth stopping by. Limited parking and some seating within the inside but most seating was outside. Great staff but you order at the front and then wait for your order. There is no table service and they tend to be quite busy. It is definitely a local spot for a snack or grabbing a bite to eat

    The food here is tasty and very healthy. Lots of vegetables and fruit on the menu, along with plant-based sauces made with nuts and or seeds. Really delicious pad thai salad and nori wraps. Also, our dog really likes the vibe here.

  • 4/5 Sumitha R. 1 year ago on Google
    The best place for greens and healthy organic vegan items. The quality was great. Their Miso soup is a must item to be tried. The ginger in the soup was so soothing. The ingredients used were so fresh. It was so great to have it for lunch without any guilt.

  • 5/5 Brian S. 7 months ago on Google
    First time here as my friend highly recommended it, and it did not disappoint. I had the bakun burger and a smoothie and the staff were super chill and friendly, and the food was fresh and delicious. I left Feeling like I had more energy than when I arrived. High quality ingredients.

    Definitely raw and organic, fresh and healthy. Flavors were good, portion size was small for the cost. Ingredients were fresh and prepared with skill, but it did take a while to receive the order. Overall cleanliness of the kitchen area and the space in general was lacking, noticed some used blender pitchers sitting out, soiled work areas, etc. Definitely has a vibe.

    Thrive is one cool spot! We enjoyed the coconut wrap! It is amazing that the food is organic & vegan. The vibe inside of the restaurant is wonderful. We had a blast pulling tarot cards & enjoying the art and crystals while we waited for our order. The outdoor seating area has incredible mountain views & the staff are so friendly and welcoming!

    Thrive was awesome! Very cool, local spot serving up a variety of dishes, alongside smoothies and more. Eclectic joint with seating inside and out. I'd highly recommend checking out this Boulder favorite!
