Where to begin! This place is worth traveling for. This was our main destination from out of town and will definitely be back!! We had the chilli fries, grilled cheese sandwich w tempeh bacon, sweet potato fries, and Mac and cheese. We were thrilled with everything! The Mac and cheese is a must order. Can’t forget dessert! Key lime cheese cake, choc. Chip cookies and choc. Mousse were all phenomenal. Plus you can’t get over the quaint atmosphere and super friendly staff. Plant based or not it’s a must try, and repeat!!

I loved the food, the atmosphere, the options, and the staff!
We got the buffalo fried cauliflower street tacos, the Crabby cakes, the tahini noodle Buddha bowl, the key lime cheesecake, and a lemon ginger blueberry soda.
I would recommend them all!

We got bowls with tofu nuggets and cauliflower ‘wings’. Their food is so yummy, and I love all the choices for dipping sauces. They clearly label all gluten free options for anyone with allergies.

Everything is vegan and everything is delicious. Kale slaw is fantastic and we always get cauliflower bites. I usually need a mousse for dessert. I bring non vegans all the time and they love it. The folks who work here are so kind and dedicated. Cute train car diner atmosphere - a gem in Pittsfield!

Love this diner so much! We come to The Berkshires multiple times per year and while visiting we make sure to have dinner at Thrive multiple times! The Tofu nugget Buddha bowl is sublime! The almond parm topping is addictive and delicious! We have also ordered the Reuben and the bratwurst as well as the other bowls. This diner is all vegan and such a gem!

Loved the curry tempeh bowl and the coconut soup. Lava cake was unbeatable. Lunch for 3 cost about $60.

Great service. Unbelievable food. The cauliflower wings, soup/dal and mockball sandwich were great. We would have the almond parm tofu and spicey kale saled everyday if we could

This wonderful diner has a fully vegan menu with many, many options. The food is made fresh to order and is a treat to the culinary senses!
I came here with my girls after skiing at Jiminy Peak. So happy to find a fully vegan diner! What a treat! Staff was friendly and menu was varied. My daughter loved the Mac n cheese. I thought the tofu nuggets were yummy and addictive but my other daughter didn’t agree (she is not vegan) but that is not reflective of the food I don’t think. I had buffalo cauliflower tacos which were great although not too filling, so I was glad to also have some fries on the side. Great vibe, nice staff!

I make it a point to eat here every time I am in the area. Haven't had a bad meal yet. The homemade sodas are a nice treat. Be sure to try a pastry or dessert when available. I usually get one to go for the next day.
The person who is always working there is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive.

Quaint and delicious! This little diner really surprised me. I’m vegan myself but my wife is not, and in planning our honeymoon I somehow neglected to find this little gem on the map. My wife mentioned it and said we should go. We had a wonderful meal! We started with the buffalo tofu nuggets with ranch. Incredible! Probably the best vegan ranch I’ve had in a long time! I ordered the BBQ Buddha bowl and my wife got the Mockball sub. Both were wonderful! Mine was hearty, filling, and delicious. Full of rice, veggies, and yummy BBQ soy curls. Hers was incredible as well! I wish I had had room for desert, but was too full!! If we are back in the area I will be returning here for sure! It is definitely worth a visit.
