Great food, Great atmosphere - Edit
This place is amazing!!! I got the Rainbow Magic Salad (dressing was fantastic) and Green Dream chia pudding. Being from Chicago which is very quick paced, I had to wait way longer than I expected for the food I got, but it was 100% worth the wait.

Raw vegan food - Edit
Thrive is a 'hardcore' raw vegan restaurant that is also gluten free and soy free. The food that I tasted (rainbow salad and pesto zoodles) was pretty good although not especially filling. The entire menu is full of healthy and delicious sounding dishes. There are a lot of additional items not written on the menu that can be ordered so be sure to look at the chalk board before ordering. Plenty of parking at the restaurant.
Read morePros: Reasonable price, Healthy
Cons: Not all dishes are filling

:D - Edit
Always a positive experience when I go here. The owners definitely really care about health and quality of food.
Read moreVery into spiritual influences in this environment, which is of interest to my life.
There is even rose quartz embedded into the doorway! The prices are all using perfect numerology which is unique. Each item you may order has an intention listed underneath of it, which I find useful (especially because I get super indecisive when I go to eat and I can order ANYTHING from the menu).
I've only visited one handful of times and have tried the ZEN smoothie, Tropical smoothie, Egyptian chocolate mousse, Broccoli and Cheddar soup, Spring rolls, and Acai Cheesecake.
The cheesecake and mousse definitely stand out to me as something awesome and different to try that you won't find elsewhere. Delicious! The smoothies are loaded (priced at 8.88$ and charge 1.11$ extra for more add-ins) with plenty of plant ingreds, but with formulated with intention. I could feel a difference after consumption for sure. Especially on a cold, rainy day!
If I could afford to go here every day, I would.
Pros: Good energy from staff, environment, food, Abundance to select from- everything is good!, COMPOSTABLE utensils and plates
Cons: higher end price range, Small space indoors, but enough

Not worth it - Edit
I was so excited to visit this place and then I was so bummed that I will never go back. Went to get ice cream which after ordering it, took 20 minutes to make (there are no pre-made flavors which is good and bad). When we finally got the ice cream (chocolate with vanilla and raspberry) it was nearly flavorless. One top of it, the small cup we got was close to $7.

Cons: Took way too long, Too expensive

great space! - Edit
The employees are beyond friendly and the environment is very welcoming! The entire restaurant is decorated beautifully and gives off a very hippie vibe. I tried the natural high, green Gaia, and lavender smoothie. All were incredible!! Definitely recommend

Vibrant flavors and space - Edit
I wanted to try more things before I wrote a review, but I keep going back for the Pad Thai. It's full of flavor and gets me full. Win, Win I'd say :)
Read moreI have also tried the Yacon Berry Salad, which was a beautiful array fruit & spinach with a dressing I would describe as yogurt like. If I were looking for a lighter meal I would get that again.
I've also had the Natural High smoothie and the Upstart Kombucha on tap is delicious.
The restaurant itself if full of crystals and energy healing qualities. The staff have been nothing but lovely and friendly. There is a ton of outdoor seating which I wish to have time one day to enjoy my meal there.
I've been disappointed by other raw restaurants, but this one does NOT Disappoint! Make the journey and experience Thrive!
Pros: Pad Thai
Cons: nothing

Finally a RAW food Resturant in Colorado - Edit
Wow Megan was awesome! We loved everything we ate. We had their flax and vegetable crackers with the 4 different dips and everyone of them was savory and full of flavor. My husband is a meat and potatoes guy and found himself very happy with the cheesecake, dips and crackers. Getting ready to try their nitrogen chocolate ice-cream no sugar (agave) instead! This place is a must visit for those who are looking for full flavored, ORGANIC & HEALTHY food. Parking was simple as they have their own parking lot, worth the trip from Castle Rock, we will be back. Oh yes and the prices were extremely reasonable too
