Thrive Organic Kitchen & Cafe has opened up at Lakeshore W and 31st, offering a vegetarian alternative  for lunch or dinner here in Long Branch. Their menu includes soups, served with sprouted bread, salads (with names like Longevity, Earth, Coconut Caesar and Alkaline), an assortment of sandwiches, sprouted burgers (made with grain & nut patties), sprouted pizzas, wraps, and more. 90% of their menu is organic and they don’t use artificial preservatives.

We stopped on the way back from an outing with the dogs for some take-out. We each had a sandwich and salad (we split both so we could each sample) and a smoothie (The Ant’oxi was made with acai berries, mixed berries, cherries, pineapple, lemon juice and water and the Beach was made with coconut water, mango and banana). Our sandwiches and salads were very very tasty and nicely put together.

I’d like to wish Pat and the gang at Thrive best success and encourage readers living in our Lakeshore communities to stop by and give it a try.
