    Awesome
    Chris G.

    What an excellent little gem in Arlington. They make tasty juices full of nutrients, excellent sandwiches with great ingredients and other tasty treats like smoothies. We have Also had their salads which are good. I would highly recommend this place if you want to have lunch and feel good after. I really like their seitan which I've had twice in the past week and a half, and like the spices and sauces they put on their salads and sandwiches. We give them a high recommendation!

    Our family of plant-based and non plant-based eaters love this place! It's our go-to for quick, healthy lunches, fresh-pressed juice (try the Grateful Garden) and since they have added holiday catering-- hello, vegan cheesecake! for that, too! Everything is always super fresh and our favorite everyday menu item is the Thrive Roll with added tempeh and their vegan ranch (SO good!) They have been also rolling out some take & reheat meals like vegan pot pie that are DELICIOUS and super convenient for weeknight meals. Derek, the owner, is very friendly ... and fans of the former Fruition Vegan Kitchen in Medford will be happy to see Bob has joined the team at Thrive. Highly recommend.

    Cookies and cream smoothie! So good!

    Thrive is amazing! I went again today and tried their next seasonal smoothie - cookies and cream! It was absolutely perfect, a yummy treat for this warm winter day. I'm a huge fan of this place and appreciate the good quality ingredients that I get to put into my body. I drank a lot of their smoothies while pregnant and now get them to enjoy while on a walk with my baby. They are all dairy free with different kinds of non dairy milk options, so that''s helpful if you are avoiding dairy while breast feeding. Love this place! Arlington is lucky to have Thrive! I listened to Derek, the owner, talk to another customer about different menu options, and you can tell he is passionate about making healthy and delicious food for everyone.

    My current fav: power refresh sub OJ for the coconut water. Second fav: tropical splash.

    Happy Roots juice.  I didn't think to take a pic until after I drank most of it.

    After a night out with friends and one too many glasses of wine last night, I was searching for a good, natural juice & smoothie bar to help replenish my energy and help cleanse the toxins I consumed. This place is exactly what I was looking for. I don't particularly care for beets or beet juice, but their Happy Roots juice was perfectly blended with apple, carrot and ginger. It was actually quite tasty and enjoyable! Also, I had a light lunch of their Avocado Roll with mildly spicy peanut sauce. Very tasty. I will definitely be back!

    So happy to find a vegan food place near Belmont! In addition to smoothies and cold pressed juice, they have hot foods like seitan gyro and chicken Parm. I got the seitan gyro and it is 100% delicious!! I tasted so many wonderful flavors and appreciated the fresh veggies inside, all wrapped in the softest yummiest bread. My daughter loved her custom mango strawberry raspberry orange juice smoothie. We will be back fo

    Nice to have a Tatte in Arlington, and it's a pretty good size too. Stopped by for a quick lunch…read moreand got a slice of ham and cheese quiche with a salad. The quiche was rich, custardy and denser than I expected, and the small salad helped balance the richness (wish it was a bit bigger), but I was full by the end. Counter and food running service was quick and I had no problem grabbing a table. Got the pineapple passionfruit matcha bombe for a dessert - while I liked the fruity filling I didn't care much for how dominant the white chocolate flavor was, so that was a miss for me, especially given it was a couple bucks less than my lunch. Regardless it has a huge menu and it's a decent quick cafe option in the neighborhood.

The layout is great- an oversized island buzzing with hot and iced drink orders, cozy seating as you walk in and even more space on the far side with a perfect view of their pastry display. We kicked off my daughter's 7:30 birthday breakfast here and it couldn't have been better. She picked the shakshuka that had perfectly runny poached eggs- it was hearty and satisfying. My scrambled egg+fontina grilled cheese hit the spot too. But the real magic was their insanely rich Valrhona hot chocolate that reminded me of my favorite cup from a spot in White Plains, NY. I mean....it was pure bliss. So were the decadent chocolate mousse cup my daughter has raved about the few times she's come here. Coming here was hands-down an unforgettable start to the day. Service is great and Tatte is the kind of place I'd come back to anytime I'm in town. This is an Israeli bakery-café that knows how to make every detail count.

I only say this because it was raining and would have made us drier and more comfortable at the bar. Staff were welcoming and attentive, we got our food and drink quickly.

They clearly were completely unprepared…read morefor and overwhelmed by the volume of reservations and no one on the staff seemed to think it was an issue or problem for their diners. We were seated 35 minutes after our reservation (which was 12:30 pm) and no one came to our table with water or silverware until 1:30 (a full hour after our reservation and 25 minutes after we were seated). We ordered cocktails, one of them being a flight of 4 mimosas. When brought to the table there was no description of what the ingredients/flavors were in each - which is customary to share/explain so you know what you're drinking. The server didn't know, but did bring the answers back a little while later...thank you! They were out of one of the first course items on a two-course prix fixe menu (which unfortunately 3 of the four in our party had originally selected). For the second choice/back-up course (avocado toast) it was not accompanied by smoked salmon as stated on the menu but instead shrimp and cucumbers had been added - with no heads up from the server that they were also out of the smoked salmon....the dishes were brought to the table with no explanation or apologies whatsoever. In a very odd twist that I haven't experienced before, our original server said they were leaving for the day during the midst of our service and a new server worked with our table for the balance of the meal. The second course meals were fine - the steak in the steak eggs was delicious per the two people in our party who ordered that dish; the egg dishes the remaining two of us had were ok, nothing to write home about. Sitting at our table we witnessed the table next to us experience the same issues we had...and a friend of theirs swung by their table and shared even more egregious examples like never receiving their drinks at all, among others. As another reviewer wrote about their experience today, it was shocking that nothing was comped off of a $250 bill, discounted, or some future offer made to make up for our utterly unacceptable experience - never mind that we were there for 2.5+ hours! We are grateful to have restaurants like Tryst in Arlington but we will not return (we have dined there many times for special occasions over the years) and will no longer recommend it to friends either (which I have also done many times).

I got inspired by watching youtube to make a jambon buerre sandwich - supposedly a popular quick sandwich for Parisians. The sandwich is half a baguette with butter and French bistro ham. I tried searching all over for the French bistro ham with no luck. The only options were online sources with expensive shipping and/or expensive minimum order sizes. Somehow I stumbled upon MA-France nearby in Arlington and they sell jambon-buerre sandwiches. It's a small shop that sells sandwiches, pastries, and a small offering of French food products. Lots of pastries and baked goods like quiche, tarts, cookies, croissants, etc. The cheese offerings were very limited and basic. I can imagine that the cheeses that they sell are the same types and brands that they use for making sandwiches. For example, they sell President brand Brie - that you can also buy at Costco and market basket. Disappointing, but understandable because they can't afford to buy more variety and more expensive offerings without a big enough client base to buy those cheeses before they go bad. Getting back to the sandwich - it was half a baguette with some thick slices of butter and two pieces of French bistro ham. The bread was kind of dense and the crust was more chewy than crispy. I was disappointed that they didn't bother to spread the butter, but if they're not selling enough sandwiches then they're probably keeping the butter in the refrigerator - making it too difficult to spread. When I got home I fixed up the sandwich to my liking. Overall, the sandwich was okay, but not good enough to make me want to go back. At least I was able to solve my hunger for the jambon buerre sandwich.

Now it's quite underwhelming. The apricot croissant is now some smaller glorified danish that has no richness or personality. The plain croissant is quite "bready" now, whereas it used to be light and buttery. I have a sneaking suspicion that they have a different croissant supplier now. What saved this spot from a lower grade is that the pain au raisin and chausson aux pommes are passable. Also a save is that they still offer various French products, from soaps to cheeses to canned goods. I have to find a new French bakery in the area.

I would have loved more of it, because the bites that did get some were absolutely delicious in enhancing flavor with the egg.

It was freshly made, buttery, and had little apple chunks in it. Great experience and I highly recommend visiting if you're looking for quick and convenient breakfast, with a great quality and fair price!
