Loved this place!

This place is amazing! So much variety and it’s all vegan. We tried 2 of the bowls and 2 starters and 2 desserts. Would order any of them again ... all of which where delicious. Happy hour gives you starters at cheaper prices. Will be back!

Favorite Restaurant!

First time at this Venice location and loved it! It’s bright, clean, & modern with fabulous selections of vegan baked goods & grab n go juices at front counter.
Smoothies are healthy tasting and not too sweet. I loved my garbonzo bean quiche and side salad. Pancakes were delicious too!
Whole menu is vegan, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
We came with a party of 11 for breakfast on a Sunday and they were very accommodating.

Too.. fake?

Just a strange forced hipster energy. Only a few blocks from my home so I wanted to love it but I probably will never return. It can be ok here and there but food wasn’t very good I don’t think I even finished it. Only thing I liked was milkshakes. They have a question of the day to start a conversation for your table. Odd.

Amazing brunch & service

Had a delicious açaí bowl & Ayurvedic latte for brunch. Add cacao powder, for a perfect hot cocoa. Many of the lattes have raw organic honey, so beware if you don’t consume honey.

Pros: Vast menu, Reasonable prices, Friendly staff

Amazing menu, service and vibe

I came here on my own and I felt so welcomed. All the menu items are associated with an affirmation which is a first. I’ve never had that before. They have so many gluten free options to and the menu is clearly marked. They do use raw honey so not all vegan. I had a green juice and the coconut calamari OMG next level amazing.

Pros: All plant based , 100% organic , Best positive service

Great food anytime

A great place with great food and and atmosphere. Three visits so far on our 10 day vacation, and then we don't count the three visits to the other Gratitude and the visit to Gracias Madre which is also their restaurant.

Wow ich bin hin und weg

Ein super schönes Café mit unfassbar nettem
Service und meeeega leckeren Gerichten. Man kommt an und bekommt sofort Tafelwasser serviert. Wir waren zum Frühstück da haben Kaffee bestellt der immer wieder auf Wunsch aufgefüllt worden ist. Wir hatten den Spitulina Smoothie, Pancakes & French Toast es war einfach unbeschreiblich lecker und zu schön angerichtet, dass man es garnicht essen wollte. Alles sehr sauber und sehr schön eingerichtet ein absoluter Wohlfühlort.

Pros: Alles Bio und vegan , Auf Wunsch glutenfrei , Top Service

I am....grateful for cafe gratitude

I love everything about Cafe Gratitude. The food, the atmosphere, and the good vibes. I like that the menu is affirmations when you order and the question of the day for dinner conversations. The food is amazing. I wanted to order everything, check out my blog post for a full review: https://thatjenngirl.com/blog/2166/vegan-in-l-a-cafe-gratitude

Delicious and filling

I love their salads and desserts though I noticed there is a garlic and onion allergy warning which made the raw cake taste a little bizarre to me.

Pros: Ingredients, Atmosphere , Clientele

flavourless, boring food

Loud and pretentious. “I am awesome” bowl lied. It was barely mediocre. Someone needs to introduce this restaurant to spices. Overall it was a sad experience. Never again!

Pros: none

Cons: awful overpriced food, slow servicevery

Nice one! Cheers.

Cracking place. Lovely staff. I ate the 'Glorious'. It was good! Tasted the 'Original' though and that was genuinely amazing. Bit pricey but worth it. Think that they use the font papyrus for their signage so pedant nerds might want to close one eye. Go here!

Pros: Top food, Top staff, Top ber

Cons: Pricey, They use honey.

Pros: LOVE THE COCONUT CALAMARI, DOG FRIENDLY

Cons: NOISY

Delicious healthy food

My boyfriend and I stumbled across this place on accident and was reluctant to try since I generally like to stay away from ‘healthy vegan places’ since they are overpriced and not filling. But I was blown away by the food! My boyfriend ordered a burrito and it was incredibly flavorful and filling. But the best part about this place was their dessert selection. The desserts were so good, I am so glad I tried them. I ordered ‘milkshake’ and a cheesecake. Also the waiters are very nice, I like the thought behind asking customers a question.

Pros: Waiters and staff are very nice and helpful, Food and dessert was delicious and a good size , The interior is nice, very modern feel

So lovely

The space and the people are just lovely. I came for breakfast and I loved it. Except for the heavy on the garlic all was amazing and fresh and delicious. Almost all vegan except for some honey in beverages. Loved the vegan cake selection also.

Delicious but OverPriced

I had a delicious Devoted/Soul bowl that made my taste buds happy because I’m from the south and a comfort bowl like that is a rarity in the vegan world.
As a desert, I grabbed a small Mineralized Mint Shake.
It was nice on a hot day.

The atmosphere was busy and beautiful, from family’s to friends getting together for a Sunday brunch. I was alone and so I sat at the bar, which I loved because I don’t need table service.

For those two options I paid over $30.00 and that hurt my soul a little bit. They had one bowl that was called the community bowl and it was still $12 and such a basic option,(quinoa, black beans, kale, Tahini, garlic).

Pros: Large Menu for any Craving, Fun and Friendly Enviroment

Cons: Trendy Expensive

Lovely

Such a shame I found this place the day before I left LA, would have definitely tried more from the menu. The cakes and fries were excellent. The staff was amazing, they made a really good impression. See you next time!

Pros: unique menu, super-friendly staff, lovely interiors
