Love, love, love this food. It’s super expensive, but we stretch it out. I love that we have virtually no wasted food at the end of the week like we’d normally have with traditional grocery shopping. I have had issues with delivery, like items being in their sides so the dressings pop open, but customer service credited me immediately for the damaged items and flagged the account for extra care.

Thistle is great for vegans. Their quality is very good and consistent. I love their delivery of fresh food. It is so important for me.

I hate to admit it, but I LOVE this service. The food is so fresh and tasty and surprisingly filling. I get vegan lunch and dinner 5d/wk. I only planned to do it for a few months, mainly to gather ideas about how I might better make plant-based meals on my own. I'm sure I could cook up and freeze batches of grains and roast veg, use canned beans, keep baby greens on hand, etc - and have a lot of the basic components ready to assemble. But the key is the delicious sauces, and also various plant protein concoctions. There's just no way I could freshly prepare these with all the flavorful variety. I'm kind of at the limit of my food budget, but I've justified continuing because my diet is so healthy and delicious now (and SO freaking convenient!!); left to my own devices it would surely devolve. Maybe it depends on where you live, but I've had NO issues with delivery. The couple times it was delayed a day (holiday, ice storm) I got ample notice about the change. In 6 months of using this service, I've received a mistaken item only once. I was credited within hours of reporting it, and got a fulsome apology. And yes, over time, you will see familiar meals cycle through. And yet, cooking for yourself, there's no way you'd create as much variety. I still hold out some vague hope of one day finding the secret for feeding myself this way, but in the meanwhile I'm thrilled Thistle is here for me.

I have just gone through my first full day of meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack. Each af the meals was super tasty. I made a switch from eating meat, to a plant based way of eating and quite frankly after three days of cooking for myself I was relieved to find such a great PREPARED meal plan. I would never be able to achieve this level of variety on my own and am excited on how this will positively affect my gut biome. I also am glad that I am no longer contributing to the damage that mass animal farming is doing to our environment. I have seen comments about the expense. If you consider time saved and quality and variety of the ingredients, I think it is a pretty good deal. I may at some point start making breakfast, but for now, Thistle is making the transition from eating out a lot and eating meat to a completely plant based meal plan totally seamless and worry free.

Multiple missed deliveries - a message saying it will be rescheduled only to have the delivery man call at 11pm saying it’s delivered, no notification that it will be delivered and had me waiting up until 10:30pm, showing it’s delivered when it’s not. Today they charged me more than my regular weekly price even after a $10 credit. There was no communication about the increased in fees. At this point, I’m going to be looking at other options and bouncing once I find one.
