Serves meat, vegan options available. Opened Jun 2015, this little kitchen and juice bar offering mostly vegan food and drinks with the exception of honey in the granola and one salad with lobster. Open Mon-Sun 7:00am-5:00pm.

Pretty solid - Edit
For a non vegetarian place, this is a good go-to given the limited options on the island. Their juices and smoothies are delicious and they have multiple pre-made vegan lunches, such as a chickpea "tuna" sandwich. They also have a salad bar you can definitely work with, which looks good. Overall not bad at all

Good breakfast and lunch options - Edit
Our group came here a few times for breakfast / lunch during the week we were in Acadia.
Great, healthy smoothie, breakfast, and salad bar options. Our particular favorite was the smoothie bowls.
The only real downsides were that a.) the restaurant closes at four which can make it hard to get there b.) it was pretty crowded every time that we were there which meant a bit of a wait but nothing terrible.
Pros: Great, creative smoothie and breakfast options, fairly reasonable prices, (some) Nice outdoor seating for a sunny day
Cons: restaurant closes at four, can be crowded

Excellent for lunch or breakfast - Edit
Tasty veg or vegan juices, smoothies, and smoothie bowls, as well as salad bar. Salad bar did have one section of chicken and one for hard boiled eggs, but rest were vegan: marinated tofu, sweet potato and lentil patties, spiced chick peas, plus plenty of raw veggies. The berry smoothie bowl was yummy. Gluten-free items clearly noted. Also has premade vegan sandwiches In fridge and gluten-free baked goods. Energy balls were just OK--a bit bland. NOTE; Seating is very limited. There are four stools at a bar indoors, plus a few more seats on the porch, so you may need to take items to go.

Awesome Raw, Vegan, and Gluten Free Options - Edit
This was our favorite breakfast and lunch spot in Bar Harbor!! The smoothies, wraps, salad bar, juices, and baked goods were all great. The staff was sweet and split large smoothies into small cups for our kids without charge, and personalized our orders without complaint. Also a super clean, with a public restroom which was not easy to find!!
Pros: Options for every taste and for special diets. , Clean!
Cons: Limited indoor seating.

So Appreciated - Edit
Thrive does healthy food and juice and smoothies in a town with very limited vegan options, and they do so very well. My "soothe" juice was really delicious, and everything is done to-order. I wish they would cut the lobster off the salad that has it (Just because it's Maine doesn't mean lobster belongs on your menu!) and the honey in the granola (watch out for that on the smoothie bowls) and become vegan, but the fact that there were so many yummy vegan options was really welcome. If Thrive were in NYC, I don't know that it would be anything super special but I really hope Thrive stays to provide real options for vegans in Bar Harbor!
