Thrive Cafe is a restaurant in the Roosevelt neighborhood of Seattle, Washington in the United States. It serves foods that are organic, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.[1] Its lunch and dinner offerings include a high-percentage of raw foods.

History

Thrive Cafe was opened on December 17, 2008 by Monika Kinsman, a Seattle native. It is currently in the process of raising funds to expand its business to open several additional locations in the Puget Sound area. The name is registered as a trademark by Minerva Organics LLC, a Washington State Limited Liability Company.[2][3]

In July 2012, the cafe was burglarized: the loss of computers and business equipment having a "significant impact" on the business, according to the owner.[4]

In 2013, Thrive hosted the "Fresh Film and Speaker Series" at Central Cinema.[5]

Recognition

Thrive Cafe won the online poll for "Best Healthy Lunch" in 2011 in the annual "Best of" poll, promoted by Evening Magazine in Seattle.[6]

In 2013, it was featured in an article in USA Today, "10 Great Places Where Vegetarians Don't Sacrifice Flavor".[7]
