Comments on Jenn's review of Cafe Gratitude
Description: Café Gratitude is our expression of a world of plenty. Our food and people are a celebration of our aliveness. We select the finest organic ingredients to honor the earth and ourselves, as we are one and the same.
Smurfy but good raw foods...
A menu of positive affirmations may seem odd at first - at least it was to me on my first several visits to the new Cafe Gratitude when it first opened on Harrison Street. The owner, Thomas, was there to talk to the new visitors and answer questions about his mission, the menu - anything. He's a sweet guy and very kind.
The food is outstanding. Some folks think that the nut-based (mostly just cashew) items are "heavy" - but I don't feel like that at all. I've heard some folks complain that they had stomachaches (mostly meat eaters who don't eat a lot of fruit or veggies). Every time I eat at Cafe Gratitude - I feel really good afterward.
I highly recommend starting with dessert first - the desserts are so rich and delicious that you want to make sure you don't miss out on the tiramisu, coconut creme pie, or key lime pie because you ate too much at the beginning. They make killer guacamole which goes well with the spicy sprouted flax seed crackers. Their salads are great -- as are the rice and quinoa bowls. The warm quinoa with fruit and maple syrup makes a very satisfying breakfast.
Pretty soon - you'll start answering to things like "Who is divine?" and "Who is cherished?" with "Oh yes, that's me over here!" and it won't just be a response to a Cafe Gratitude waitress.
