Thrive Juice Bar & Kitchen

Thrive’s juices and vegetable-filled burrito bowls are a nice contrast to all the butter-drenched lobster in Maine. The spinach and kale-filled revitalize smoothie is great when you need to quickly recover from feeling seasick on a boat tour, and the tightly wrapped breakfast burritos with creamy chipotle ranch should be your go-to source for pre-hike protein.

Open from May through October, Thrive Juice Bar & Kitchen is the go-to place for a quick, healthy meal in Bar Harbor. They offer a wide variety of plant-focused dishes, making it perfect for vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters alike. From cold-pressed juices to superfood smoothies and wholesome salads, Thrive’s offerings ensure that eating healthy never means compromising on taste.

Another May-October establishment, Thrive is sorely missed in the off-season. Their food is predominantly local and organic, and the menu features a wide variety of creatively assembled breakfast toasts, bowls, sandwiches, and burritos. And, as they are also a juice bar, you’ll have your choice of wholesome, made-to-order juices, smoothies, and even smoothie bowls.

Needless to say, Bar Harbor isn’t much of a bar-hopping town — the nightlife around here consists mostly of stargazing. While I’m sure there are some great dives to get down in, our trip was decidedly low-key. Our evening highlights were sunset from Grant Park followed by microwave smore’s and a roaring fire courtesy of Netflix.

Located right in the heart of town, this bustling juice bar offers the kind of light fare perfect for breakfast before a long hike in Acadia National Park, or as a respite from Maine’s unofficial state food — the lobster roll. Think juices and other healthful fare such as avocado toast, smoothie bowls, and lobster poke bowls.

Thrive Juice Bar & Kitchen is an excellent choice for those who love coffee and healthy options.

Maine is still a great place to visit even if you don’t eat lobster. And many vegetarian visitors rave about the smoothies and smoothie bowls at Thrive Juice Bar & Kitchen. Located next door to Side Street Cafe (same owners), Thrive is just around the corner from Bar Harbor’s village green.

For dinner, we drove back to town and went to Project Social Kitchen & Bar. It was the trendiest dinner place in Bar Harbor, but our experience was mediocre. We were pretty hungry and ordered a bunch of plates, and the food was good, but the portions were just so small and so expensive.

And they do all of that really well and it is all obviously really healthy for you as well. But what their name doesn’t let you know is that they also happen to have a pretty fantastic breakfast menu. And the nice thing is that their breakfast menu leans a little on the healthy side.

I start the morning at Thrive Juice Bar and Kitchen, just up the street from the Harborside Hotel. Thrive is light and bright and offers a healthy and fresh respite from the fried seafood and rich dishes at other island restaurants.

Wanted to but didn’t make it to Thrive juice bar because they were closed Monday when we arrived to get breakfast. It was Indigenous People’s day so likely that’s why their hours were different than what was posted on-line.

They had Siete chips, Oli Pops, AMAZING sandwhices that can be made gluten free, and a cold brew smoothie with almond milk that was to die for!!. I will forever think about how GOOD that smoothie was.

Thrive Juice Bar & Kitchen – I loved this healthy option in Bar Harbor. They have smoothies, juices, salads, etc. We got a smoothie one morning before our hike and they were so good!
