EDIT: I went into the store today and was attacked with aggressive and violent energies from the owner telling me im never allowed in the store again because my review deeply affected the person it was written about. I detailed the person in the review because I didn’t want somebody else to get fired. You tell me the person the review was written about is special needs? I am disabled. I have autism. When people are rude to me it deeply affects me and traumatizes me. No person I have dealt with in the store was so disabled they couldn’t speak with me and have a conversation and make choices to be kind or not so I’m not totally sure what that has to do with it! Or why the owner thinks it is ok to attack me, a local, a loyal customer to your store, a person who has on paper autism and is highly sensitive, and intimidate me, for writing a review that was completely valid, this is America. I have the right to speak my mind without getting yelled at when picking up food for my girlfriend. So no. I will not be taking the review down, and I’m not sorry for detailing the person who was rude to me and repeatedly over and over again made awful coffee. I won’t apologize for hoping to protect the employees who aren’t doing this to me who don’t deserve to be fired. Not saying that she does! I’m sorry that the person took it personally, but maybe they shouldnt work somewhere where making quality coffee and food is a must for positive reviews! So here ya go google, this is the edited review and the reason why I was verbally attacked by the owner today. You couldnt pay me to eat here again. Also the food is chock full of salt. And the ingredients aren’t organic. Here ya go google; I don’t know why but they think it is ok to charge me 10 dollars for a large coffee that they slopped together angrily in 5 seconds then get angry at me when I ask for more honey. This person has never made me a cup of coffee that isn’t a watery mess. This person has always been mean to me. They have never made me feel safe in the store or like I am welcome and I will turn around and walk out next time this...

This is the only eatery in town (that I know of) where you can find juices, smoothies and acai bowls that are pretty good, so I want to start off by saying I hope this business THRIVES, as it is an asset to Shasta. They have more organic foods displayed on the menu than in the past, which I appreciate. But there are a few things about this restaurant that need some conscious improvement, and I write this hoping to catch the attention of management. One is to ditch the plastic. The amount of plastic waste per customer is really disappointing. Secondly (and I write this after four years of this observation) is the "artwork" in the bathrooms. They are like little memes with pictures that are more like dumb, unconscious jokes from the 90s. They give off a nasty energy that seems pretty misaligned with Thrive's mission. Really, I feel like I need to sage myself when I come out of the bathrooms from the bad vibes given off by the pictures they've chosen to hang. There are a few pieces from a local photographer on the walls, but with so many amazing artists here, why not showcase more of the work of local community members? Just some suggestions to take it to the next level... more organic, more compostable, more beauty. But I do...
