    This place is truly unbelievable! I found it about 3 weeks ago and have eaten there 9 times since! I won't be happy till I try everything on the menu. IVE LOVED EVERYTHING IVE TRIED! The vegan chili is out of this world epic! The atmosphere is so warm and staff was calling me by name by my 3rd visit. Friendly and warm clean energy! I'll add pics as I go, I don't normally do reviews or think to take photos, but Thrive has been inspiring!

    Coconut Crepes and Pure Bliss

    I love Thrive! It's my favorite place to grab food in Boulder. And it's the only raw food restaurant in the area. They have everything from smoothies to sandwiches. They even have crepes (check out the photos I added). I love everything I've tried, but the bacun burger is definitely my favorite. My favorite smoothie is Pure Bliss. Not only does it taste good and chocolatey, but it makes me feel zen. I love all of the crystals and the whole vibe in the restaurant. I usually order ahead and take to go. A few times I've eaten at the restaurant and really enjoyed hanging out in there. It's nice to have a living foods restaurant so centrally located in boulder. They food taste amazing and I love knowing the amazing health benefits I'm getting from eating it. The owners are really cool people too. Even if you've never eater raw before, go on a culinary adventure and check this place out.

    Great healthy vegan spot! I got the Pad Thai Salad and my husband got a smoothie and the BLT Wrap. We loved it all! This place has a cool atmosphere as well. The only thing is that the service was pretty slow for just a few people in there. It took about 25 minutes for my food which seemed like a long time for raw meals.

    Badass vegan food. So nutrient dense. I feel like I'm doing amazing things for my body every time I stop in this place. The vibe is awesome, great menu, smoothies are to die for--not overly sugary, which is how they should be. If you're veg and in the area, you'd be doing yourself a huge injustice not to check this spot out.

    Tacno Salad and Sammich

    Delicious salad, sandwich, and smoothie outdoors and very distanced from other customers. The staff was very nice and service was fast. The food was very flavorful and delicious - I'd definitely return!

    OMGOODNESS was this salad Devine!! When my husband first pulled up the address in our scavenger hunt picnic in Boulder he was like..wait a vegan restaurant? I asked him to trust the process that Boulder is known for having small businesses with great food. While all we had was a salad, every bite was filled with healthy flavors. Loved how well the dressing was mixed in and the avocado on the top added that extra fat flavor to finish off the meal. Those croutons...finger smacking good! Not going to lie this isn't my normal joint I would think of going to but I'm glad we came across it. I definitely want that salad again!

    Lovely plants around the cafe

    What an absolutely delightful place! Everything there felt so full of nourishing energy and high quality ingredients. My friend and I had the Ginjah Bere (ginger beer) and it was sooooo good. I ended up buying a bunch of drinks to bring home - they have convenient to-go bottles too. The food and smoothies looked incredible and I'm stoked to check those out next time! Their chocolate "medicine" truffles were filled with amazing healing herbs. Sooo impressed with this place. I wish there were more spots that took energy and nutrition as far as them! Plus, I loved the crystals and tarot cards all over. Also, the staff was super nice and more than helpful with all our questions for pairings and food sensitivities. They were so kind and had great energy!

    Loved this place! The hotel and ambiance are old Colorado cool. The service was excellent although…read morea little slow due to Spruce being absolutely packed on Christmas day. The food was excellent. Flank steak perfectly done and handsomely plated (not sure I've ever used that phrase, but it works here) and the Boulder Scramble was great. There are a ton of great places in Boulder, and this should be high on anyone's list.

    This experience nearly broke our family. My husband who spent many years in food service was so…read morecranky from the service, or lack there of, it took my daughter and me several hours afterwards to calm him down. I consider myself a fair reviewer, and will do my best to provide constructive criticism in hopes the management will take some steps to educate their staff. My husband, daughter and I spent the night at the Boulderado on the evening of 4/23. In the morning -4/24 -while they finished packing I went down to the restaurant first to get a table as we only had about 50 minutes to go back to our room to get our belongings and check out. The restaurant was not very busy, and I thought to myself, "Great!" The hostess picked up 3 menus, then paused, sighed, and said she wanted to give the server a bit more time to catch up, and she asked me to sit on a bench, though there were multiple open tables where I would have gladly waited. My husband and daughter joined me shortly thereafter and the hostess finally seated us, saying there was only one server working. She handed us 2 breakfast menus when there were clearly 3 of us, and my husband had to get up and go to the host stand to get another one. Our server came by after some time and took our order. Oddly, we saw a different server with another table so she was not the only server working after all. She brought my husby's coffee, but no spoon. Well, at least there was a knife because several servers passed our table without even a glance. He was never asked if he wanted a refill, even when he asked for a spoon and his cup was nearly empty. She didn't even give him enough time to ask for more. The kicker was the manager, pony tail guy- standing outside the restaurant in front of the coffee bar with our server and two other young ladies, laughing it up while we were sitting there completely surrounded by no coffee. Not one person asked if they could bring us anything else throughout the entirety of our meal. We literally had to wave them down for the spoon, then nothing. Time was running out so I sent my grumpy husband and frustrated daughter back to the room to get our luggage and said I'd wait for the server to pay. I sat there another 5 minutes holding my credit card up, and even caught the eye of pony tail guy across the bar, but eventually had to just go to the bartender to ask for the bill. I likely could have just walked out without paying and no one would have even noticed! I will say the food was fine. Hubby had the Denver omelette, which he said was flavorful, and our daughter and I each had the Avocado toast which was very nice. Loved the seedy bread. However, the service-or lack thereof- left a bad taste in our mouths. We love the Boulderado and will be back, but unless there is some training of their young waitstaff we aren't likely to return to Spruce. Overall, the restaurant staff seemed completely disinterested in the customers and couldn't be bothered to even offer a friendly smile. For a hotel like the Boulderado with the reputation of a historic gem, we expect much more from their restaurant. We have dined there previously, most recently last year when we had a lovely server, a much more mature and professional lady who was lively and joked with us. It was a very busy morning and she made sure we felt taken care of even when things took longer. We left with a smile on our faces. A few final words of wisdom- 1) even if things are busy, stop by a new table to offer a pleasant word and let customers know someone will be with them shortly, even if it's not your table 2) when you bring coffee be sure you provide a spoon, and at least one check in about a refill 3) stop by to ask if your customers need anything else, and get them their check in a timely manner 4) if you are a manager, don't stand around gabbing with your staff in plain sight of your customers, while said customers are being ignored, and 5) a smile goes a long way. The only smile we got was from the bartender who at one point seemed to be the only person running the show.
