😕

Cold, soggy fries
Warm smoothie
Tasteless burrito
The Mac and cheese was decent
Had to wave over service every time I needed something.
Too many misses

Pros: Mac and cheese

Great Vegan Selection!

Had a breakfast at Cafe Gratitude with awesome choices for plant based dishes! We had I AM THRILLED
PUMPKIN SPICE BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST and I AM MINDFUL STRAWBERRY RHUBARB
OAT CRISP. Both were super delicious and guilt-free WFPB!

Pros: WF Plant Based (with some exceptions), Incredibly Delicious, Nice outdoor seating area

Cons: Nothing I know of

good

I went because of a try guys video where they make the enthusiastic sandwich but I find it a little bland. The fries were amazing and the juice and desserts too. The friend I was with eats chicken and said it tasted really similar to it.

Pros: Place, Fries

vegan variety, culinary creativity, so go experience for yourself. positive affirmations = menu.

for the Venice CA Location i especially like the proximity to venice beach the shores of pacific ocean itself, opportunity to get the vegan foods/drinks to-go and walk 5 blocks west to the sand beside the surf and enjoy the California coastal good vibes of beach culture ! the beach sand itself obvious choice; also the famous artful venice beach boardwalk with live buskers busking live music for example, near craft booths. as with ALL Cafe Gratitude Locations: vegan variety, culinary creativity, so go experience for yourself. positive affirmations = menu.

What can I say, just amazing

Even my Omni foodie siblings loved everything. It’s incredible. The crunch wrap supreme was a big, big hit. Also loved the soba noodle salad and the Hawaiian pizza, and the I am cleansed salad. sorry I don’t have pictures, we dove right in and it was all gone before we knew it. My only regret is not getting back there before we had to leave Santa Monica! Hope to get back here one day soon😄

Unique ingredients and cool vibes 🌱

I love Cafe Gratitude's incorporation of unique vegetables and combinations. Although I bought the cookbook, it is more for looking at the pictures as the recipes are too much work. I have visited the San Diego location and loved it. This time in L.A. I did not have a car so ordered by Uber Eats. I tried the 'I am Sensational" salad and also got a Mushroom Carnitas breakfast burrito for the next day. The burrito was incredible. The salad was missing several toppings including the kumquats and snap peas so was pretty much just plain greens for the price of an entree in most restaurants. I also requested a fork and napkins which were important being in a hotel room and didn't receive them but will keep the 5⭐ rating since I love the Cafe Gratitude concept.

Pros: Incorporation of lesser used veggies and fruits, Beautiful clean branding and concept , Healthier than most vegan restaurants

Cons: A bit pricey depending on what you order

Excellent Brunch

The food here is deliciously awesome! Atmosphere is calm, peaceful, relaxing and the staff are friendly. Husband ordered the chilaquiles and I ordered the pumpkin brioche french toast, we shared a side of smashed potatoes. We also had the chai lattes-one with hemp milk and one with oat milk. Everything tasted so good. And there were many options. Careful that some drinks have honey in them.

Pros: Spacious , Lots of options, Friendly staff

Cons: Some drinks have honey and pollen , Not fully vegan due to the drinks

Generous Portions and Delicious

I’m glad I came here, it was definitely worth it when I’m Venice! The menu is almost completely vegan (there’s honey in some drinks), and I just adored the little touch on the menu with the names. I had the “I’m refreshed” lemonade and the “yo soy fuerte” Crunchwrap. The portion was very generous and delicious!

AMAZING

My favourite vegan restaurant that I’ve visited in LA. You’re greeted by friendly staff who are very knowledgeable of the menu (one waiter even advised me on how to eat the summer rolls). I had the summer rolls and a Greek salad paired with a Prosecco, all of which were really nice. I sat outside in the evening with the comfort of outdoor heaters. The place had a really nice ambiance.

Pros: Tasty food, Wide menu, Friendly staff

OMG good!

I'm so glad I made the effort to walk here when in Venice a few weeks as the offerings are outstandingly good! Not cheap but good value considering what I was offered to eat. Everything is plant-based and they have fun affirmations as the names to the dishes. I opted for a main (I am elated) which came with the most beautiful creamy beans, brown rice, and a lovely spicy sauce on the jackfruit enchiladas. Everything was delicious. Highly recommended.

Pros: Friendly staff, Great variety of choices

Cons: Nothing

Most pleasant dining experience I’ve had

The food came out quick, the staff was very friendly, and it was some of the best vegan food I’ve had (especially the pizza). The affirmation named menu items are also cute😉

Pros: Entire menu is plant based save for honey , Good prices, Great atmosphere

My first strawberry rhubarb pie

Ok I didn’t get to try any of the food here. Just the vegan strawberry rhubarb. It was great. Kinda liquidy. Never had a strawberry rhubarb pie before so I’m not sure if that’s how it’s supposed to be. But anyway it was tasty.

Loved the vibe and most of the food!

What I loved: their salads are super fresh and delicious and I absolutely love their mushroom toast and cauliflower dish - so good! Service is always friendly and the ambiance (especially outdoor seating) is super nice.

Did not like: the pasta we ordered was a bit dry and not full of flavor overall so wouldn’t order it again. Also, did not like their tiramisu (not creamy and a bit too sweet for me) so would try some other dessert from the menu.

Excellent food

I actually had my eye on this place but ended up here by mistake. My friend came here to get coffee. I read the menu and was blown away. Didn't realize it was a vegan spot til I read the menu. Came back for dinner and was blown away. I was definitely impressed. And I was able to get some pretty amazing pictures
