Tasty whole food plant based food!

Love this place! They have a great menu with a variety of plant based meals. Everything is while food as well with no meat substitutes. Their menu seems to change seasonally, but is always good. Will definitely continue to go here!

Favorite vegan place in KC

The atmosphere, food, joy… it’s all incredible. Some of our favorite dishes are the hummus toast appetizer, abundant bowl (used to be a wrap), Mac n cheese, BLT. I love that they do house-made “cheeses” for their food as I dislike the processed kind. Their bakery treats are amazing - cinnamon roll, donuts, etc - but only available on weekends now. Definitely not a place to rush through a meal. Stay, savory and enjoy. There is even a cookbook that you can buy while you’re there!

Pros: Friendly staff/atmosphere, House-made, whole food

Pretentious & Pricey - food was underwhelming

The taste of the dishes didnt live up to the descriptions. The flavors were unsubtle and unbalanced.
I eat here whenever I go through Kansas City, and the quality continues to drop, today being the worst.

I had the sauteed veggies atop brown rice ("Fortified") with a supposed ginger-sesame sauce. However, the only flavor was that of vinegar, which is apparently the basis of the so called sauce. The only flavor to the chai was cinnamon, which was way too generously applied on the top of it, have the cacao silk pie didn't have any special note to it.

When I spend over $50 before gratuity, a lunch for myself. I expect it to be above average. I'm prepared with some genuine understanding of shuttle flavor combinations and balances.

Sorry to say, but I was completely disappointed.

So. Good.

I was told about this place by my cab driver (who is also vegan!!). I ended up going twice during my short stay in KC. Highly recommend! The BLT (bold loving tasty) sandwich is AMAZING. Everything I ordered was delicious. You can’t go wrong

Pros: The Still smoothie, BLT, Service was great

Delish!

I got the I Am Present bruschetta and the I Am Abundant mung wrap to go. Seriously, some of the best food I've had in quite a while. Very flavorful and filling. Staff was great. Service was quick. My only complaint is I ate too much. I'd certainly return.

Pros: Diverse menu, Great flavor, Great service

I am Grateful!

DelIt's been 10 years since I was in KC and ate here. I was so happy to see it is still thriving. The OG location was in SF and I was fortunate enough to eat there many times as well as the Berkeley location. Both have been closed for a really long time. I have already been in for lunch twice the last 2 days and I will be going back for dinner tonight. Clearly it's amazing and I highly recommend trying it if you haven't already. The Yo Soy Fuerte burrito is delicious and I really like the kale salad too. I'll have to explore more of the menu but I'm confident it's all amazing.

Not Vegan or even Vegetarian

Will not support. The owners in CA are not even vegetarian as of 2015. The family owns Gracias Madre and Sage (formerly Vegan) Plant Based (they are not even plant based) and run full farms killing exploiting and processing animals for profit. The restaurant serves honey, pearl, and other non vegan items making navigating the menu difficult. It is expensive and the food is not good. The quality, morals, and integrity of these restaurants have gone out the window. I have been to all of their locations including KCMO.

Cons: Not even vegetarian , Corrupt for profit omni family, Slaughters animals for profit.

Pretty good

The lavender oat London fog was delicious! I got a quesadilla with added tofu. The tofu was amazing, the quesadilla was good but not great. The black beans on the side didn’t seem to be seasoned at all.

Pretty solid vegan eats

I was in town for a conference and brought two non veg friends with me. They absolutely loved it. They were shocked by how much they enjoyed the food. The location is comfortable and the service is friendly. I think this is probably the best option in KC. #Veganuary

The best vegan in KC

Every time we drive thru KC, I have to stop here at cafe gratitude. They’ve been an asset as I was learning to deal with my allergy to dairy. I love that I can eat everything on the menu. I love their nut based cheese cake. They’re welcoming and the food will fill your heart and stomach. #Veganuary

Cute atmosphere in a good location. High quality ingredients, good waitstaff but a little on the pricey side. The milkshakes and deserts are out of this world delicious.

Delicious

My boss took us to @cafegratitudekc , the best vegan place in Kansas City. They have 3 other restaurants in California also? We got the amazing vegan carnitas adobo wrap. The curry bowl. Butternut squash soup and the decadent coconut milk chocolate cheese cake. And did I tell you this restaurant is farm to table. 100% organic and absolutely delicious ?

Pros: Almost all gluten free, Extensive menu, Delicious

delicious food, service needs improvement

Love the food here, creative dishes, and everything is fresh and organic. espresso, lattes, and cold press juices are great.
In all 3 of my visits, unfortunately, I've waited to be seated and serviced longer than I should, and 2 times food came cold.

Who knew healthy food could be so tasty? Everything here looks so good. Can’t wait to try more. The Whole Bowl has indeed made me whole for now though.

Pros: Lovely atmosphere

Cons: Parking inconvenient

KC can’t miss

Insanely good food. We got the bruschetta, mac and cheese, burger, burrito, and two shakes. I was blown away by how good everything was, and nothing felt greasy or heavy. Staff was super friendly and kind, and as it wasn’t busy our food came out quickly. Truly a shame that they use honey, otherwise I’d happily leave 5 stars.

Pros: Delicious, reasonably priced

Cons: Honey :(, plant based, not vegan

One of my favourite places in Midwest!

I love this place. I have ate here while in KC dozens of times and always find things I love on their menu. It is one of the best places in the area. Try the vegan Mac, the lentils, nourished, the burger, pretty much all of it. Only downfall is parking but they do have EV spots on the road so plus for that! Can get busy so call for reservations. Dining is cool and people are nice!

Pros: Vegan menu done right , Cool atmosphere , Price

Cons: Parking! , Can get crowded

Great variety, delicious

Cozy spot with relaxing interior and table service. Cauliflower wings were the best I’ve ever had. Everyone in our group enjoyed what they ordered and we all selected very different things (burger, pasta bowl, tacos).

Super mushroom tacos

I really like the mushroom tacos. The caramelized onions and coconut flakes was a bomb combinations. I didn’t quite like the -I am grateful bowl.

Pros: Lots of vegan friendly options

100% vegan menu

I enjoyed the food and they were awesome about keeping us sit there and talk for hours.
I will go back again.
Once again though it's a completely vegan menu.
