Thrive Juice Cafe in Arlington Has Been Rebranded As Thrive Gourmet

A suburban spot that started out as a juice bar has morphed into more of a restaurant.

According to a post within The Arlington List Facebook group page, Thrive Juice Cafe in Arlington is now Thrive Gourmet, with a note from owner Derek Fleming saying the following:

After months of hard work...we launch Thrive Gourmet! Arlington's first breakfast sandwich specialty shop! Come down and give us a try today and help spread the word that there is a new breakfast sandwich king in town!....8 am to 2pm for the best breakfast sandwich you've ever had.

Fleming first opened Thrive Juice Cafe in 2019, initially focusing on such items as cold pressed juices and smoothies, eventually adding vegan food options including salads, bowls, toasts, and sandwiches.

The address for Thrive Gourmet is 169 Mass Ave., Arlington, MA, 02474. Its Instagram page can be found at https://www.instagram.com/thrivegourmetarlington/
