Cafe Gratitude - VeniceFantastic!Cafe Gratitude is fantastic in every way except noise level. (Bad accoustics + happy people!) I ordered the "I AM AWESOME" sandwich which was grilled eggplant with nut cheeses and yummy pesto in a (sundried tomato and grated carrot wrap?) OMG! The flavors were truly awesome! I have never eaten such good tasting vegan food in my life! It was sooo good I probably will never order anything else! I'm not even a vegan or vegetarian and I go for flavor! This was winning the lottery! an Our server, Rebecca, was wonderful! All in all, great experience!6/9/2013 12:00:00 AMI love Gratitude!Cafe Gratitude is my go-to whenever I am in Los Angeles. The cuisine is at once comforting and elevated. Vegans and non-vegans alike will find something (more than one thing) that will delight their palates. My only wish--that Cafe Gratitude had a San Diego location! Now that would be perfect!6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was incredible! DinersFood was incredible! Diners included a Vegan, Vegetarian and Carnivore...everyone loved their meal...I am Mahalo, I am Terrific and I am Humble (Indian curried lentils over brown rice, with sautéed vegatables, sweet potatoes and spinach, drizzled with a spicy mint chutney and sweet tamarind sauce)...which was my favorite. Dessert was beyond delicious! I am Joy (essentially an Almond Joy), I am Irresistable coconut cream pie and I am Praising vanilla ice cream made with coconut and cashew milk. EVERY bite of EVERYthing was wonderful! Visited on a busy Sunday. Service was entirely pleasant however not very attentative.5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMVegan delightEverything is AMAZING!!! I could eat here every night AND turn vegan.5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMGive thanks...Please use Opentable when booking here. The place was packed when our party of four visited but our table was ready and we were promptly seated.
I've only ever eaten here for lunch but I have to say, they have an uncanny ability of making a non-meat meal taste like meat. I say this because I had a meat-loving curmudgeon with me who absolutely loved his veggie burger.
They have a veggie substitute for everything which I have to say is all delicious.
By the way...service is great.5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were first time dinersWe were first time diners looking for a spot that the entire family could enjoy. With our 50/50 split on meat vs vegan this isn't always easy. No one was disappointed and there was a unanimous vote (out of 12) to return! I feel a victorious win as well as a happy tummy.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMOur uncle was in from outOur uncle was in from out of state and we took him here for dinner. It was our first time coming to this restaurant. It was great! We had a really good time, all three of us really liked the food and said so, the smoothies were awesome, service was attentive, very friendly, enjoyed the ambiance. Great night out, we will definitely be back.4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMIf You Want to GlowI've been a longtime fan of Gratitude on Larchmont. As is often the case, there is a slight decline in tastiness whenever there's a branch out, but Gratitude Venice stays the course pretty well. The service is stellar. Friend ordered a cappuccino, a waiter walked by and asked her if she wanted more foam. He took it and returned with the frothiest almond milk coffee drink ever made.
They're no longer making the fake BLT I Am Incredible I think it was called, but an astute waitress figured out how to make it by using the bacon-flavored coconut chips from another sandwich. Delish!
Got the I am divine beet/ginger juice. The name fits. Try it.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGood meal, skip the dessert.Overall, this is perhaps the best vegan restaurant I've had for dinner. The appetizer and dinner were both wonderful, and I enjoyed my herbal infusion. Our waitress was friendly, and the noise level was energetic, but not too noisy to hold a conversation. The only drawback was dessert- the texture of our cake left a little to be desired. Overall, I would recommend!4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMI love Café Gratitude andI love Café Gratitude and the quality of the dishes is exceptional, especially the raw enchiladas, raw kelp noodles, I am Whole bowl, and the new Hawaiian pizza.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMSuper delicious vegan foodSuper delicious vegan food - probably the best in Los Angeles!3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing....Amazing restaurant with amazing food. Can not wait to return.3/24/2013 12:00:00 AMIt's easy to become veganIt's easy to become vegan after eating here. Every dish is so skillfully prepared and delicious that's it's almost hard to believe they're all meat and dairy free. I wish they would come to New York!!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMA Vegan Organic Treat!Good tasty healthy vegan organic food with a caring attentive staff in a warm, bright comfortable environment.3/19/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent vegetarian restaurant.Excellent vegetarian restaurant. The kale chips, brussel sprouts and veggie burger were delicious. All the dishes and drinks have great names like "I am vivid", which is red sangria. The desserts are great too. Another good feature is 90 minute free validated parking.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMVegan food good for allTerrific experience--from the parking, to the restaurant space, to the food and service.
