Thrive surpassed my expectations by a lot! Just looking at their menu online, it sort of looked like "rabbit food" and I wasn't totally sure it was going to be filling enough but man, everything was crazy delicious, satisfying, and filling. The menu is actually somewhat expanded from what they currently show online. It's a little pricey (especially the smoothies but consider that may of the smoothies are sort of like a meal replacement and then it doesn't seem quite so bad). I got the thrivalicious bowl and my partner got the bella burger. Both were so tasty and we left feeling full but not at all bloated or gross like we do if we eat lots of fatty fried vegan food (available at other Seattle vegan restaurants). A special shout out to the really awesome hot sauce that came with my bowl made from a mix of chipotle peppers, coacoa nibs, and goji berries. It's one of the best hot sauces I've had in a long time and I'm ready to try to make a similar version. There's no soy or gluten (or even it seems, beans) to be found on the menu but the food doesn't lack anything for it. Makes me almost want to try a partially raw diet!

The only thing I didn't like is that they served everything on disposable bowls/cups. Would it take that much more to do reusable dishes? The disposable stuff seems really unsustainable even if it is compostable.
