Eve’s 5-star review:
This place is revolutionary and seems to evolve and get better each time I go. The food - especially their tangy and savory sauces and all their cooked meals - are absolutely stunning, and I'm amazed food this good can be so healthy! I'm finally writing a review after spending probably nearly 100 hours sitting there as if I own the place ;).
I rock climb regularly around the corner at Mission Cliffs, then head to Cafe Gratitude for an "I am Healthy" drink, the soup or a bowl of something warm, and often I finish off with a chocolate shake (somehow vegan, but insanely delish!!). I then walk home feeling insanely satisfied.
I know this place got a "hippy dippy trippy" rap when it first opened, but there's no such feeling there anymore, and in fact it's been replaced with a nice, grounded, friendly, caring (but not stare you in the eye or anything) vibe. I can go there and hang with a book for a while and feel at home. It's a place you'll feel cared for and leave revived and energized!
This place is a revolution because they are caring for the plant, the people who come, and it's a profitable (yet very affordable) dining option that is often the only place I go on a more-than-weekly basis!
Enjoy!!!
