Great lunch

The Ayurvedic lentil dish was very good as was the seasonal raspberry cheesecake. The bench was super comfy too. And the server was very kind.

Massively Rate

We were only in LA for the day (as part of a longer trip), but had to make sure we booked a table having heard such great things back home (in the UK).

The bar was high and the food did not disappoint! We shared some I am Delectable (corn ribs to start). My husband had the I Am Magical (burger) and I had the Yo Soy Mucho (similar to a burrito bowl - beans, rice, grains, guac etc).

Food was brilliant and the staff were really friendly. Prices are a bit above average, but I've not spent long enough in LA to compare if this is the norm.

Overall, loved the experience and would love to come back!

Pros: Huge menu, Delicious, tastes fresh

deliciousss

i got the sausage pizza without the red peppers and it was soo yummy. i liked how the pizza was thin crust and the sausage had some spice. also got a side of sauteed spinach bcs it came w my friends dish and loved it. the bill was kinda ridiculously though lol. we got an app, two entrees, and the extra side and it was over $80 LOL. i think its just bcs its such a celebrity spot. food was yummy but not enough to want to come back during our short trip and spend sm. plus theyve got honey which is just ridiculous. how hard is it to use a vegan alternative ? its just infuriating lol. literally everything is vegan but the honey. soo stupid and totally speciesist. major turn off.

My favorite restaurant in LA

Of all the restaurants I visited, this one definitely stands out. Healthy yet SUPER tasty and creative dishes. I had the gratitude Japanese bowl, "kansha", with an add-on of pumpkin tofu and blackened tempeh. The smoked tofu in this dish certainly draws your attention, but the sides also speak for themselves. You know how you usually save the best for last when eating healthy dishes? I wasn't sure what to leave for last, so I just ate small portions of each component because they just worked so well. I didn't love the pumpkin tofu, but it came in a sauce that just made it taste amazing too. I also tasted my husband's pasta and the coconut calamari. Definitely recommend everything.

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

vegan variety, culinary creativity, so go experience for yourself. positive affirmations = menu. i have been there for parking lot parties. it had used to host free thanksgiving vegan meals and i recited some of my original poetry on the microphone. they had used to have a grateful bowl by donation or $3. bring back donation grateful bowl add drink option such as smoothies for elder sans qualified teeth. could be unique sans alcoholic beverages, exemplary for society sake. good that the menu items titles are all positive affirmations. all vegan ought treat me Leafleter4free as v.i.p. b/c i Leafleted over 425,000+ vegan edu free Lit. ALL vegan restaurants/cafe's and food trucks ought treat me for free forever.

Pros: vegan food/meals , menu items titles positive affirmations., several branches to travel/explore.

Cons: bring back donation grateful bowl add drink option, could be unique sans alcoholic beverages, exemplar, all vegan ought treat me Leafleter4free as v.i.p.

Great vegan spot in LA

This place has super yummy dishes and amazing vibes! The staff is super helpful if you’re questioning what to order. The nachos are fantastic! The waffle &ofried oyster mushrooms were okay, not the best meal I’ve had, but still pretty tasty.

Pros: Nachos with guac 🤌🏼, Staff helpfulness , Smoothies

Always good!

You can always depend on Cafe Gratitude to make you feel good. After a few days of not the best vegan finds, it was nice to circle back to something familiar and delicious! Get the Nachos!

Yummy

All vegan all delicious! I ordered the "I Am Humble" which is a curry dish. It was fantastic! I also got to taste the Risotto ("I Am Inspired") and the Indonesian ("I Am Devoted"). All sooo good! 😋

Bring dental floss

Holy [censored] they just added these spiced corn ribs. They are  AMAZING (and messy. Do not order on first date.).
I love gratitude. There's so much on the menu that is healthy, and there's so much that is decadent. Whatever you're in the mood for it is always good, comfortable and easy-going atmosphere.
They keep raising their prices so it's not for the faint hearted but they do deliver in quality. It broke my heart when they closed the cafe gratitude downtown. When I was working downtown I used to eat there about three days out of the week .
Made friends with several of the waitresses.  Today was the most perfect weather and we sat at the outside tables with a light breeze delicious food and just gratitude for being alive.

Delicious healthy vegan food

Menu had so much to choose from, and it was great to find a vegan restaurant with lots of healthy plant based options, rather than your typical vegan junk food.

Food was delicious - only complaint was allergy information was wrong. I was given an allergy sheet which I ordered ‘safe’ options from, only to be later told that the food I had ordered did actually contain my allergens. If the manager hadn’t double checked, this could’ve led to a hospital trip. Perhaps I was given an out of date list? Unfortunately this delayed our meal quite a bit.

Pros: Lots of options, Healthy

Cons: Allergy procedure needs improving

Food was good, restaurant was hot!

Staff was super nice, you order off the menu and they respond back with positive affirmations since each dish is titled a positive affirmation. We got the nachos and they were delicious, but too full for my meal after. I got a burrito which was fine but my husband got chicken and waffles with mushrooms and it was kind of amazing. Super good. The atmosphere was hot as balls, they wouldn’t turn on the ac and it was 82degrees in the restaurant making it really uncomfortable to eat. People were fanning themselves with the menus, just be prepared to be hot.

Pros: Good chicken and waffels, Nice staff, Positive affirmations

Cons: Hot as balls inside, Hot as balls inside, Hot as balls inside

Over hyped?

Maybe I was expecting too much, but I feel this place is super trendy and therefor as popular. The food was ok, but the pizza took forever to prepare and everything was overly priced. The flavours were ok, but I’m not sure the tempeh was that fresh. Also don’t like the concept with every dish being named “I am worthy” or “I am beautiful” etc and the waitress having to say this cheesy line when serving the food “You are beautiful, enjoy your food”.

The gold standard of vegan food in LA

I feel very lucky to have Cafe Gratitude in LA - its a restaurant that knows exactly what it's doing, and cares about you for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Not only is the food here great, but they have put incredible effort into ensuring its good for you. That means things like fibre, protein, polyphenols.. all the things that underpin nutrition and are so important when you're plant based are thought of with options for you to be slightly more indulgent or really look after yourself. In most ways you probably won't even know that though - you'll just see tasty things you want to eat.
I honestly can't think of any other restaurant that goes to this level of care and tastes as good as it does.
If I were to have a negative, as I guess I have to, it's not cheap and can feel quite casual as a dining experience for the money you can end up paying... but I guess that's just LA.

For true vegans, just an fyi - they do use honey in a few things, notably the drinks.

Pros: Delicious plant based food, Extremely nutritionally considered , Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks - all great.

Cons: Uses honey, Expensive

Food is great

Like all these high-end plant-based eateries, the food is absolutely delicious. Service was a little slow. They have an app, so you can order in advance. They also have a cookbook containing recipes for many of the menu items. Just a great restaurant that fills you with gratitude that they’re there. Jackfruit enchiladas are awesome and so are the smoothies. Yum.

Pros: Great selection of dishes, they have an app and a cookbook, very nice atmosphere

Cons: Service a bit slow , limited parking

Over hyped, over priced.

The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. My expectations were a lot higher for this place, especially given the price. I've had much better meals for much less money.

Pros: Mostly vegan menu (only honey in some items)

Cons: Expensive

You have my gratitude, Cafe Gratitude!

Been to one before in San Diego and it was great. This one was great as well. Ordered the I Am Happy, which is a spicy Korean pulled pork sandwich that wasn’t spicy. Although not spicy it has great flavor. I would definitely order again

Cafe Gratitude = classic

You must already know that Cafe Gratitude is a must. It’s the gold standard in LA.
The ice cream (made in-house possibly?) was so so good. The Caesar salad (without capers!) was sooo satisfying - big portion for a half!
