Forsyth MO. - Just across the
street from the Library, sits a cozy little eatery that caught my
interest during the early going of September. I'd seen the marquee a
few times when cruising up Main Street and had heard from a couple of
friends that it was a sort of unique experience. So, curiosity killed
the cat once again.
On my first visit, I talked to one of
the owners, a nice woman named Charyle who quickly filled me in on
some of the particulars of the place. I learned right off that she
was one of four sisters who ran the shop, a venue that is open from
7AM to 2 PM Monday through Friday. And while they do not have carry
out menu, at that point in time, did maintain a large chalkboard with
all the days offerings. I was amazed to learn that everything offered
in the way of pastries was made on site!
As I talked to Charyle, I learned that
Thrive was a smoke free establishment which seats about 30,
has restrooms and takes Visa card payments. Even more interesting to
me was the fact that they offer community WiFi so that a diner can
sit and browse the Internet while enjoying a cup of coffee or a
sandwich. As I understand it, the pass code for access was
'drinkmorecoffee'! Inquiries can be made by calling 417-251-2375 and
the formal location is 153 Main Street, Forsyth MO 65653.
Sadly, I did not have time to stop and
sample any of their offerings, but will do so in the future and plan
to enter the experience via an update to this post!
