    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.

    Amazing vibes, great service and delicious food. What more can u ask for! We got the broccoli chedda, BLT wrap and notchos.

    Pad Thai

    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!

    I'm so glad we ate at Leaf while in town! Everything we ate was amazing. The Executive Chef Lauren…read moredefinitely has talent and loves what she does - and it shows in the food. We tried a lot of things on the menu and liked each dish. But our absolute favorites were the kimchi sweet potato fries (this was a crowd favorite dish and we're still dreaming about it), ginger chili potstickers (so good!), and the hot fudge cake with ice cream for dessert (melt in your mouth warm chocolate cake with ice cream, it was 10 out of 10). We also enjoyed the butternut penne, everything crunch salad, and butternut squash arancini which were all delicious. Also, the bread deserves its own shout out - very soft and warm, and still rich in flavor. Easily the best bread I've had in a long time. Service was great with a friendly and attentive staff. Ambiance was warm, inviting, cozy and sophisticated. Would definitely recommend stopping here to anyone!!

    I want to start by saying I would not want this review to deter anyone from enjoying a wonderful…read moremeal at Leaf. I've been here many times in a variety of ways--sat at the bar, at tables with friends and by myself, both inside and outside, and even experienced the large farm table prix fixe menu, which was fantastic. My experiences have consistently been great--the food, service, and atmosphere have always been top-notch. Tonight, however, was my first disappointing visit. I ordered the root vegetable bruschetta, which was very good. I also ordered the butternut squash penne pasta, a dish I've had before and really enjoyed. Unfortunately, this time it was extremely spicy. I'm not sure if the recipe has changed or if it was just a heavy hand in the kitchen, but it was not something I could eat. I mentioned it to the waiter, who didn't have an answer, so I simply asked for a to-go container. Since I couldn't eat it, I later gave the container to a homeless woman sitting nearby with her grocery cart. On my way out, I spoke with someone at the door who brought over the manager. The manager asked if he could see the dish, so I opened the container for him. He then asked if he could taste it and reached in, picked up a noodle, and tried it, saying he didn't notice anything unusual. He also wasn't aware of any changes to the recipe. I suggested that if the dish is now spicy, it might be helpful to note that on the menu so guests know what to expect. What left me disappointed wasn't just the dish itself, but how the situation was handled. There wasn't an offer to replace the meal or provide an alternative, which would have gone a long way. As someone who is only about six months into living in Colorado and a new business owner in the area, I often refer places I believe in. Tonight left me questioning whether I will continue to recommend Leaf based on how this was handled, though I'm hopeful that by tomorrow morning I may feel differently. That said, based on my many past positive experiences, I still believe Leaf is a great restaurant. I just hope this was an off night and that a little more attention is given to both consistency in the kitchen and how concerns are handled moving forward.

However, there were people sitting on their outside patio. Hardy folks, I guess! My friend was nursing a sore tummy, so she just had some grilled veggies and mashed potatoes. She loves everything she's had here. It was my first time. I ordered the chicken bowl with yakisoba noodles. It was lukewarm, but that's fine for me. I think they must have microwaved it because it was steamier as you ate down the bowl. The veggies were crisp, the noodles perfect, the chicken was tender. It was spiced at what I'd call a medium level, and quite yummy. My friend then ordered their vegan chocolate pudding, which we shared. Yummy and light. My one big criticism is that they charge $4 for iced tea. I questioned it and the cashier was kind of snippy about it, but the customer behind me approached after I dispensed my tea and said she agreed it's too expensive. The meal was appropriately priced and there is plenty of food, but the drinks? C'mon. It's worth maybe $2.50. They really should reevaluate that. It's the main reason that I gave the place 4 stars instead of 5. The other people who work there were nice and helpful. I didn't grab a fork but the server who brought my bowl cheerfully went and got me a fork and napkin. Very nice. It's obviously popular, it filled up as we sat, with quite a variety of people, from babies to seniors. I might go back, but perhaps next time I'll just get water. I hope they don't charge for that!

We had to wait about 20 mins without a reservation on a weekday - im guessing weekends are busier. The menu is influenced from countries along the silk route and has a dish from various different countries. We tried the swedish svamptoast, malaysian sambal curry, indonesian peanut noodle, choo chee salmon. Everything was flavorful, a little spicy, good quantities and the value for money was also great - each dish was $20-$23 range which is great for such an ambience.

We were surprised to find it very crowded at 4pm when we visited. There's a small area at the front of the restaurant and a lot of folks were gathered there waiting for their tables. It took several minutes before the hostess checked us in and let us know it would be a few minute wait. A bit later we were guided to our seats. I appreciated that they took trouble to make it feel like a special experience - with white tablecloths, decor and the cutlery. They seemed a bit short staffed that day so our server was helping out many tables. He was very helpful in explaining the menu, though we did have to ask specifically to receive the full tea menu. We decided on a few teas to share - a spiced white chocolate white tea, rooibos chai, and a hibiscus cooler (iced and non-caffeinated). The spiced white chocolate was fantastic. I wasn't as much of a fan of the rooibos but if you like less sweet teas this is a good choice. The hibiscus cooler was delicious and refreshing, and I liked that they let us take it to go! Our amuse bouche came out first - a delicious pumpkin seed savory small soup and it was fantastic. We eagerly awaited our tea tower - and it certainly did not disappoint! We are still thinking about the delicious spinach and artichoke pinwheel with olive tapenade - it was our absolute favorite. The savory sandwiches were also delicious. We especially enjoyed the clotted cream and lemon curd with the scone, and the desserts were delectable. We were stuffed by the end of our teatime! Our server was very helpful and despite it being very busy, we felt taken care of. I think this is a very worthwhile experience - the tea, sweets, and savories are all delicious and definitely worth checking out!

We ordered to eat there, but they still packaged our sandwiches to go. The staff didn't call out the order loud enough for us to realize they'd been prepared, so I think they sat at the counter for a while. My son was happy with his chicken pesto though he commented that it could've used a more generous application of the pesto. I kinda suffered from order regret. I chose the Turkey & Brie. The moment I unwrapped it, I was overwhelmed by the onion smell. Even after removing some of the onion, its presence lingered. My bad, I ordered it after all. The turkey and Brie comes with apple slices, and two kinds of mustard - a honey mustard and stone ground mustard. The honey mustard is what caught my eye. While I realize stone ground mustard is tangier, this sandwich was overcome by the strength of the onion and stone ground mustard. You don't even notice the apple and Brie. Just an overall miss for me. Last, if you happen to be dining in, you can use a bathroom (with a code) but it's a block away in a parking garage. I'm not down in Boulder super often, but I'm likely to skip a return visit. If I were to return, I'd try the chickpea and avocado sandwich instead and hope for better luck.
