GBSooooo worth it!!! They offer early delivery times multiple times per week, so meals aren’t sitting in the sun all day or wilting in the fridge for a week - perfect! The meals and snacks taste AMAZING! There is a great variety of options and ingredients, which was a nice surprise. Other meal delivery services we tried tended to use the same ingredients over and over, which quickly became monotonous. Thistle is our new favorite by far!! We loved everything we tried!

GBGood food! Not good packaging. We enjoy the food a lot! It is certainly healthier eating than we’ve had before, and it’s made vegan cuisine an easier transition for us. However, I’d like to reiterate what was said below re: packaging. While I understand these things take time, Thistle has been promising reusable or compostable packaging for years with nothing yet. We were hopeful the “big announcement” this month had to do with new packaging, but were disappointed when it was only a branding shift (what are they doing with the old “reusable” delivery bags, btw? Trash?). Our town won’t accept the packaging for recycling (only the salad jars), so this is a lot to throw away. We’ve made a commitment this year to lessen our imprint, and unless the packaging changes soon, we will be phasing out our use of this service.

GBUnfortunately ill have to stop service… Unfortunately ill have to stop service with them. Food that comes is excellent but from day 1 I have had nothing but deliveries not showing up, meals missing, meals being wrong, delivery drivers refusing to take the coolers & plastic containers for their recycle program etc. Always met with a credit to my account for the next week. I am on week 5 and every week there is 1 or all of the issues above. It's just not reliable, it was supposed to help eleviate stress for meal planning with my schedule & since it's constantly a bargain if it will show up when it's supposed to, well Its caused more anxiety. For the price point its not worth it. Sadly I enjoy the food & it was helping me become & feel healthier but cannot support a company who cant get their quality assistance & drivers in order. again this has been every week since day 1. Thats not mistakes thats legit employees or third parties negating their jobs. Tonight was the last straw nothing showed up & no texts telling me of delays etc.

GBGreat Food, Bad Packing/Delivery New customer starting February 2024. I reside in the NYC/CT metro area. I ordered lunches, snacks, and dinners for M-Thursday. I was impressed with the quality and taste of offerings. In the six weeks that I was a member before cancelling, I only received two deliveries that were correct. The others had item(s) missing, some total no shows. The customer service was good at responding back with apologies and refunds on missing items and some delivery charges. They would deliver to my area on Sundays in the 6p-10p range and most would arrive on the later end. The convenience they offer became an annoyance on Sundays to take the time to itemize everything and relay back to customer service with their errors, I’ve just cancelled my service. It’s a shame because I loved the food but the company has a long way to go before they can offer an overall excellent service and customer experience. My advice, spend more money and time on hiring competent packing, shipping and delivery/logistics staff. Have bags checked, double and triple checked before leaving kitchen facility.

GBThistle has been the perfect solution… Thistle has been the perfect solution for me. I was trying to eat the 30+ plants/week to make my microbiome happy. My grocery bills were high, I threw out a lot of food, and I was about to give up. Then came along Thistle. I spend less on Thistle than I did on groceries. The food is not only nutritious, it's delicious. I tried a couple other services -- and they literally sent me ultra-processed ingredients -- what I was trying to get away from! I'm very grateful for Thistle!
