Thrive Organic Kitchen & Café

I had the Latin wrap and a tumeric latte with almond milk. I went on a Tuesday for lunch and was very pleased with my choices. you purchase your meal first hand, they give you a table number and your meal is brought to you. I prefer it this way because you have a chance to decide what you want and then enjoy your company or a book at easy. I will be back! P. s They should have a location in mississauga or Oakville. .build it and they will come!!!

If you want fresh, healthy, and tasty food this is the place to visit. My partner and I both enjoyed the food and the service. The space is bright, modern and open. Be prepared to spend a bit more for higher quality products, but it is well worth the splurge. Will definitely be back.

Had the vegetarian tacos and they smelled just like homemade meat tacos! Yum! They didn’t taste the same obviously but they were still really good, healthy, and well presented.

A little expensive when compared with non-​organic equivalents, but definitely tasty healthy food

I normally love this place and the food is amazing. We need more places like this in TO. It is always stellar and beyond expectations. The owner was especially kind and knows I love the pizza… and accommodated me once when I needed something.
There was only one incident with the service however. I called ahead to order my food including a salad. When I got there, I also ordered a smoothie… however, the smoothie arrived after 30 mins and after I already finished my meal… and other customers orders that were out in after mine were taken care of first. It’s almost 40 minutes after getting better and an hour after ordering, but still waiting for my salad. Hence while this place is normally a much better rating, I have to give one star for today’s incident only .ever other day it is 5 stars… as its not cool to serve other customers first after you out your order in first. This is not typical and they are super friendly and nice.

Whole family had a surprisingly awesome meal. Everything very fresh. Restaurant very clean and has an awesome atmosphere. They were also quite busy. Staff was very helpful as well, due to me not even being a vegetarian. I admittedly didn’t even know the names of some of those vegetables. I was actually shocked at the variety of tastes in the dish I chose. It was a bit of a gamble for me going here but I wanted a fill of vegetables (which I’m usually lacking) so I chose the Hercules bowl and it was such a substantial portion, I was stuffed at the end. Still had room for a brownie though! Top marks all around. Also some of freshest (not too sweet) lemonade I’ve ever had. Will definitely visit again!

Excellent soups and kale Caesar salad today! Never disappointed with whatever I order there and the portions are quite generous.

Great to have a place like this in the west end !!! All around great experience. From start to finish. Will be back for sure. Décor nice. Place very clean. Food exceptionally fresh. Juice was lovely. Dessert was decadent, yet healthy. Staff courteous and informative. Yes. Five out of five !!

I love the ambience of this restaurant. It’s very simple and relaxing.
The food has unique flavors. I got the Burrito wrap, which had a cashew sauce.
The Sunrise Tacos are very good, and all of the thrive bowls sound delicious as well!

Really good and worth the drive to Long Branch from Mississauga!
We have Raw Aura (in Port Credit) and Freshii in Heartland, but I’ve never been. With Raw Aura, I do miss the heat of the food. Don’t get me wrong, it IS good, but the service isn’t very pleasant, and I find the serving sizes quite small for the price. Average prices at Raw Aura are around $ 14/​main.
I’ve also been to Fresh, had one of their bowls, which was very delicious! So that is my experience with raw/​veg food.
Atmosphere: I was quite surprised by the size of the interior. This place is HUGE! In addition, there is a large patio on the side of the building AND parking in the back — *BONUS* for suburbanites like me. Interior is bright, clean, with lots of seating!
Food was delicious and surprisingly, not as expensive as I thought it would be. I ordered the tacos and it was $ 9.50÷3, yum! And Thrive sprouted pizza was $ 12. Both servings were quite filling and it woke up my innards. I don’t know if it’s a placebo effect, but I felt the opposite of lethargic.
Menu was quite diverse and anyone will undoubtedly find something to eat, even if you’re a meatarian!

Today was my first visit dining at Thrive.
I ordered the Serenity bowl added Freekeh. I swapped the regular Spirulina dressing for Tahini Camu dressing.
The sweet potatoes were nicely seasoned. The avocado was really tasty too. This had lots of visual appeal and was just enough for my partner and I to share. It definitely had enough fresh ingredients to be worth the price.
Some people might find it weird to pay 15.00 for a lunch but most places these days are at least 12.00 I have noticed so I recommend coming in with no more than a medium-​sized appetite if you are looking to be mindful of prices.
I will definitely come back again. And most likely with more friends to try the Sprouted Pizza.

The food is great and really worth going for but there’s always a problem with ordering. Today I picked up a salad to go that was meant to have goat cheese on it. I specifically chose this one for the protein/​fat in the cheese. When I got home and opened the salad… Cheese is missing. There was also meant to be hemp hearts which were missing and there were only 4 small slices of the red onion listed in the ingredients. I actually just paid over $ 10 for 2 handfuls of spinach a little alfalfa and a few slices of avocado. I feel very ripped off. The only thing saving this us that I called back and the woman on the phone took my name so I can get the salad replaced next time I’m in. Good thing I live in the neighbourhood.

Amazing staff, totally mouthwatering delicious food! Huge clean restaurant! Freshhhhh food! The raw dip trio was to die for! You must try it as well as the pizzas!
I wonder how breakfast is?!
The menu is huge! I am not vegan and neither is my boyfriend but my sister is and we all are obsessed and definitely are coming back again this week!
90% organic
Local produce — OMG
No artificial preservatives
A+++

Had brunch here and ordered «Thrive Breakfast» which is a tortilla with scrambled eggs and guacamole and black beans and salsa with tempeh bacon.
Tasted amazing! The Portions were perfect as well.
And I also shared a stuffed french toast. So much fruit!
Will be back

I took my parents here for lunch and everyone was pleased but no-​one was thrilled. I would describe it to other vegetarian Torontonians as ‘the poor man’s Fresh’, although the prices are comparable.
I had the nut-​meat tacos (easily made vegan by omitting the cheese), and they were quite delicious, although I needed more to eat to be really satisfied. That said, I’m a bit of a piggy. So I got one of the daily soups (I chose mushroom), and it was souper (see what I did there?) disappointing. Bland and tasteless despite the copious amounts of salt and pepper I added. I couldn’t finish it, which is unheard of for me.
My parents both had wraps (boring!) and they seemed fairly pleased with their selections.
We all agreed that the cookies were excellent, although we thought it a tad strange that they brought us the cookies before the meal. Strange, but not entirely unwelcome.
Thrive seems to be the only game in town in terms of veggie options in Etobicoke (I did choose to move to the suburbs, so I shouldn’t complain), and it’s a good choice for those wanting healthy, meat-​free lunches.
I’m not going to rave about it, but it’s decent, the quality of the ingredients is good, and it’s a pleasant, casual place to grab a bite. Overall, I won’t be eating there every week, but it’s comforting to know it’s there.

My sister took my family here for dinner and I was throughly impressed with the quality of food and service. They serve 90% organic vegetarian food which is perfect option for the healthy concious eaters. We ordered the Hercules with freekah, Bella pizza (eggplant with avocado and pesto), vegetarian burger, and thai wrap, acai bluberry cheesecake. all of which tasted delicious! The ingredients used were so fresh and made to perfection. Surprisingly for meatless dishes, you can be full because the protein ingredients that they use such as quinoa and freekah. The prices are a bit on the higher side but it’s definitely worth it for a healthier meal.
I must also comment on ambience because it made the experience more satisfying with an urban welcoming feel and a bright and spacious seating area.
Lastly, service was top notch. The order takers were very friendly and helpful when asked what some of the menu items are like. They also bring the food to you once you’re seated.
On a side note, parking is not as accessible with only a limited amout of spots at the front of the restaurant.
I definitely want to come back here to try their other menu items.

I have no idea what other folks are talking about when they say food is bland. It’s quite tasteful. Maybe it’s coming from folks who have been conditioned by the food industrial complex to like it sugary, fatty, and salty — like the way most restaurants serve it. Hint: sugar and fat make you crave and eat more so they can drive revenue and tips, and salt makes you drink more so they can drive their profit margin.
For a part-​time vegan, part-​time carnivore, and full time believer that sugar and wheat are the devil reincarnate, this place is a hit. It’s fast foodish enough for quick service, trendy enough on the eyes, and healthy enough on the lifestyle choice.
I ordered one of their bowls with quinoa. The food they prep is high in the right fats (e.g. they use avocado), high in protein (they make their own protein replacement — look for phrase «grain & nut» based on almond, and then add in other protein sources such as legumes based items such as hummus), low in glycemic index raising carbs (they use quinoa or brown rice), and with enough fiber from fresh green veggies (e.g. sprouts) to feel like I am eating a proper home made meal and *not* just some nutritionally empty lettuce you get from other «healthy» places.
I am both coming back again and recommending to friends.
Oh yeah, and service was fast and furious — I ordered ahead of the time, it was ready as ordered and as promised. 4 and a ½ stars because they didn’t accept AMEX. but hey, nothing is perfect.

Firstly, this was not an intent to slander this business, the atmosphere and service was not bad at all. Even the presentation is not bad.
So why the bad review? The food was tasteless. And that is not understating it.
I figured with a Mexican chef, how could you possibly go wrong with the a burrito and soft taco? I couldn’t finish it. The soup however was by far the worst. It was some some sort of sweet potato purée. I’ve literally tasted better cardboard.
The smoothie was acceptable.
I suppose that the health/​vegan options are attractive, but other than that I will not return.

We had the Stuffed French Toast and Canadian Platter. I was thoroughly impressed!
The fruits were fresh and the french toast was delicious. As someone who is not vegan myself, I enjoyed trying a place that served delicious organic food. Support restaurants who support local and fair-​trade suppliers!
The quinoa pancakes were delicious! They tasted like bananas and coconut milk, super soft and had an interesting texture, but I really liked them! The kale salad helped balance out the meal. The sprouted toast was soft and filling. If you’re super hungry, this is a great meal to get!
The food tasted great, presentation was beautiful, and the restaurant had a great, relaxing atmosphere. Perfect for weekend brunch or all-​day breakfast in the afternoon! Will definitely be back to try their main menu items :)

This place is a must go if you’re in west toronto! They opened in April of 2014.
It is a vegan/​vegetarian restaurant with clearly labelled items. They have a large variety from soups, salads, burgers, breakfast and they also have a range of beverages like coffee, and fresh energy juices.
We decided to bring our vegan vegetarian friends here and they absolutely loved it!
The service here is GREAT. Everyone is very friendly. The restaurant itself is really cozy inside with great décor and clean bathrooms. They have these homey benches that you can really relax on. The music is not too loud and you certainly get a nice relaxing vibe.
We ordered for the mains:
Classic burger
Sweet potato soup (changes based on day)
Lentil soup (changes based on day)
Raw pad Thai salad
Burrito wrap
Energy juice — cucumber, ginger, celery
All of these items were delicious, great portions and very tasty.
Dessert–
Mango cheesecake (v)
Acai cheesecake (v)
Brownie (gf), vegan available as well
Tiramisu (v)
Absolutely so delicious and so light!
We left feeling full, but not disgustingly full. Really great place and I will definitely be returning again! A little gem in west toronto!

Kudos to thrive for encouraging us to be a little healthier. The west end is a little slow to catch on to this trend so we’ll take what we can get.
Had a delicious albeit slowly served brunch here last weekend. We loved the big open space and cozy fireplace.
I liked my brunch so much that I stopped by for lunch today and was a little disappointed. Overdressed and underwhelming spinach salad with avocado.
I’ll stick to the pancakes and fruit salad!

Love the fresh and delicious options this place had. I had a Thai wrap and a specialty drink. Both were great. Staff were also very friendly.

Nice place for brunch.
Went today with my wife and mother in law. My wife & I are vegan, my mother in law is not.
I had the Canadian something, it was a couple of pancakes, scrambled tofu, tempeh strips, a salad and bread, my wife had a mediterranean breakfast with scrambled tofu, and my mother in law had the same with eggs over easy.
The food was good and filling. It could have been a bit hotter, but I wasn’t bothered enough to send it back.
The coffee was very good too.
We’ll be back, I’d like to try some of their sandwiches as well as sit on the patio.
The place is quite large, and the seats are comfortable. They’ve also got a section with a couple of couches around a coffee table.
The prices were reasonable — we paid about $ 15 each. Not cheap, but not expensive either.

I’m so glad we now have a veg restaurant in Long Branch! The space is very large with tall ceilings, love the large booths and the fireplace, this restaurant is great for families and can accommodate large groups. I recommend asking for tofu scramble, very tasty and love their house white wine. Yes, they’re licensed!
There are some minor kinks like the confusion/​mix-​up over orders (they need a more efficient way of serving ordered food) and rock-​hard over-​baked corn tortillas but everything else was great! The washrooms are spotless, they even have a change table. I will keep on coming back to sample everything on the menu :)
