Thistle is a more budget-friendly version of Sakara Life. We tried Thistle's fresh salads, stir-fries, snacks and smoothies to see how they compare.

The part-"kitchen witch emporium," part "metaphysical shop" features exclusively gluten-free and vegan desserts and offers astrology appointments.

With the arrival of Urban Thistle Bakery to State Street, Bristolians will soon be able to treat themselves to various gluten-free and dairy-free baked goods.
