The staff is very welcoming. The yoga class was a wonderful way to start the day. I love the Chai tea. I also bought a Christmas present for someone from the shop.

Good menu. Healthy options. Attentive waitress. Takes quite awhile to get food. It's good when it comes. Nice gift type items available at gas station which is connected to restaurants. Spa type services available on site. Pretty amazing find in little rural Apple River

Asked for nachos with no olives, had an entire cans worth of black olives hiding under a disturbing slathering of cheese paste that covered the entire five inch high mound of taco salad that had been piled on Doritos? I’m disturbed.

I felt so bad for the staff, when we went for lunch they were so busy, but they sure kept up! Food was fresh and delicious.

Breakfast was a bust 😞 three of us came in for a hearty meal and got burnt toast, raw hash brown, no avocado when asked twice, no straws, forgotten pancake when it did show up it was white, my skillet was on a plate and had over easy eggs which was not at all what I wanted but since I wasn’t asked they just assumed those would suffice. Our friend didn’t get his meal until we asked for it about 20 min into our meal. When it did show it was cold at that point he said I don’t care I’m not coming back! I visited the storefront and was met by a rude gentleman when I asked him to talk to our waitress about a roll we needed at the table for breakfast he did everything but! When he rang up my bill he added the roll I told him I wasn’t buying it and he insisted I did explained to him that I was NOT paying for it! He didn’t listen and neither did our waitress. And we were the ONLY people in the restaurant having breakfast so no excuse for it at all. We won’t be visiting anytime soon as we all agreed.

Good food and fun service. Jason is excellent on the grill. Great options for vegetarian / vegan / gluten free. Love the atmosphere. Go for the sauteed spinach!

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.

Damon has made a huge difference in my physical health and overall wellbeing. Every session we have I'm reconnecting with my body and staying aware of the signals it is sending me. These appointments are my commitment to self care, and I'm learning mindfulness skills. This is more than a great massage for me. It's energy awareness, pain management, and relaxation with recovery.

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!
