Thriving Thistle Market, Bistro & Wellness Center

The Thriving Thistle is a cozy cafe/restaurant. The sandwiches are very good and they have fresh deserts. The inside is very nice and there is a wellness center also. There is also outside seating and pets are allowed. Really friendly people but service is a little slower so be patient.

They delivered sandwiches, snacks, and drinks to our wedding venue and set up at the house that we were getting ready at. Geoff was great to work with and everything was set up and ready for us when we arrived. All of our wedding party loved the sandwiches, they were the perfect amount of fuel we needed to get us through until the reception. Highly recommend!

Damon’s massage was fantastic and his education on breathing techniques to help release tension is something I’ve since been working on. Great facility, friendly staff and love that he’s available on Saturdays. It is hard to find a massage on the weekend!

Delicious! Almost ordered a salad after seeing someone eating a gorgeous one! But came for the sandwiches, so stuck to plan. Doris Q, you were absolutely delicious! Turkey Club, BLT and Grilled Cheese were all topnotch. Will be making the drive frequently!

Just had some lunch here. Didn't have high expectations but the staff is amazing so I thought I would give the special a shot. My word am I glad I did! Pulled pork tacos with slaw topped, fresh tomato's, and cilantro all on white corn tortillas. It was amazing!

Gas just when I needed it! Plus, what a refreshing surprise to find wonderful fresh food available! I had the Dr. Liz salad and highly recommend it!! Nice indoor and outdoor door seating available. Clean, neat, friendly!

Great food! Friendly employees who are ready to help you any way they can. It’s a whole lot more then just a gas station. You can eat fresh/ heathy meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And they deliver pizza! Just what Apple River needed.

Food was so good! Such a gem

Very sweet staff and yummy food! Clean, bright, and bubbly environment.

Always excellent service and always very clean! Shelves are well stocked they carry a nice variety for a small town. I look forward to stopping in!
