I am Flourishing tacos.
Marie M.

The first time I came here I didn't leave a review afterwards, which I should have because I did enjoy the "I am Flourishing" mushroom tacos, which were pretty good. I also had the "I am rejuvenated," which is the green cocktail juice, and I highly recommend this. A good earthy balance that makes you feel good after drinking it. I had this juice again during the most recent visit, but I order something else. Upon my most recent visit, I had ordered the "I am Aligned" zucchini alfredo noodles, and I was not very impressed. You can try some things and hope they will taste as good as others. I may come back again for the tacos, or try something different next time. Honestly, I am not that big into vegan food, so only if I am in the mood.

I Am Incredible (Chocolate Banana Smoothie)

The cafe looked very vibrant and the ambiance was pleasant. The quantity of food served was pretty decent and tasted good. The cauliflower bites with cashew dip and the hemp pesto were definitely the highlight of our visit. I recommend this place!

Adorable, inspiring and yummy. That really could be the review. My friend needed a raw menu and found this place. We found parking on the next block but I can see this being challenging on a busy day. Also, we were seated pretty quickly and easily. The server was kind and patient and took our order soon after. We had time to settle in and enjoy the surroundings. It's quite inviting and relaxing with cards and questions and good vibes all around. My friend thoroughly enjoyed everything they ordered. I just had lemonade and a bit of food but they were delicious. Wouldn't hesitate to return for a bite in the future.

Parking in this area can be tough so build some time in for finding a spot. This space is on the smaller side so call ahead if you have a big group or have a back up. The food is AMAZING! I am never disappointed. This time I got the I Am Strong (lentil tacos) and they were so tasty! Perfectly seasoned and fresh. Servers was very sweet and helpful!!!

I Am Dazzling (Caesar Salad)
Molly E.

I absolutely loved my lunch at Café gratitude today! I ordered a pumpkin spice latte and shared the seasonal spinach artichoke dip with ciabatta, "I am abundant" (mung bean wrap), and "I am dazzling" (Caesar salad). We loved everything but the spinach artichoke dip was by far my favorite dish! So flavorful, creamy, and with large chunks of artichoke which I loved! There was only one waitress but we didn't have to wait all that long and she was wonderful at answering our questions and helping us out! It is also such a cute restaurant. I love the artwork and design!

Looked into vegan restaurants in KC and this one showed up! Don't recall what I ordered but my dad enjoyed his tacos! This donut was the BEST the frosting on it is amazing. The matcha latte was good too. Parked about a block away and it was worth it! I think the prices were a high + the decor was cute.

Vegan cheesecake

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 ?

I Am Cherished (Cheesecake of the Day)

This place is the absolute BEST!! The fact that everything is plant based--from apps to desserts, I love that I can eat care free and leave feeling so nourished knowing I'm not eating junk is just an amazing feeling!! Jenna was our server and she was just simply delightful! Food is always incredible but when you also have incredible service it makes you want to keep coming back even more! You won't regret coming here! ( black bean burger and Zesty is 100%

Buffalo cauliflower and potatoes with vegan cheese
Carly C.

Listen, , Cafe Gratitude made me consider giving up meat in a strong way on my very first visit. My mom, sister and I have been trying out restaurants around KC for the last couple of months, and this one quickly rose to the top for me. The buffalo cauliflower bites alone were enough to get me excited for a second visit. The staff was great, and the environment was very chill, my kind of place!

Fun and delicious. Love the ambience and all the cute names - I am Loved, etc. Love their cookbooks too!

Amazing Zesty Cauliflower
Rachel C.

I am a newbie in this vegan world and this was my first experience in a completely vegan restaurant. It's was so nice to take the worry away about what was used, was it meeting my guidelines, etc., but this went beyond that. What a beautiful restaurant in a very easy location. I could see where parking might become an issue. The vibe totally matches my own and even my kids commented that they felt at home. I am a little shy on photos to match my review, because I got busy talking (insert eye roll)and with 7 people, not everyone understands the importance of a plate photo. Thankfully, I dined with family, so they were totally used to my fork sampling their food. We shall call it payment for my company. We started with 2 appetizers- Grounded (potatoes and cheese) and Zesty (Buffalo cauliflower) The kids loved the potato dish and complained the cauliflower was spicy. That left my husband and I to dust the cauliflower off ourselves. No complaints. I could even make a meal of the cauliflower! Yum! We tried a variety of entrees- *Reflective (brown rice,mushroom medley) *Flourishing (mushroom tacos) the entire tables favorite!!! *Strong (sweet potato tacos) also very tasty *Sensational (spaghetti squash Alfredo) *Fulfilled (Mac N Cheese) I ordered the brown rice dish, which was wonderful, but a tad plain. I used the homemade hot sauce to kick it up a few notches, but that is purely a personal preference. The tacos were the favorites of everyone, both very different in the taste makeup, but equally a stellar choice. Sensational was delicious. I had one child not care for it and another clean her plate. I personally wish it had more mushrooms, but I am beginning to think I have a mushroom addiction. Fulfilled was a nice addition to the menu and perfect for the more picky pallet. I added hot sauce to my own bites, but I also may have a hot sauce addiction. We took home dessert since we were all stuffed from dinner. These were slightly disappointing. I'm okay with dessert not being the star here. Five Stars Plus for service, atmosphere, food, menu diversity and a perfect place to ponder... "What are you grateful for?"

Food service and ambiance were good. Also order the mushroom coffee. It was good. It was less crowded

I am rapture. Layered raw cake
Shell J.

First meal and first time in Kansas City. Amazed by the variety of vegan options. I love the fact that the menu is different from the Yelp reviews. Perhaps the owner brings creativity into the menu often. Guess you will be surprised every time you are here. I've tried Cafe Gratitude in San Francisco but this one has a much chilled vibe. I love the freshness, innovation and yumminess of the food. Grateful for the first encounter.

Is there a limit on the number of people in one party, during these Covid times? I am wanting to make a reservation online but i wanted to make sure there wasn't a change in policy?

No, but u will need to call ahead as their table seating is limited. Could make ur wait be long if u don't.

Just Stop used to be the place to go. They used to have…read morefresh carrots for real carrot juice, along with fresh fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, this is NOT the case. You can not call this place a Juice place without fresh fruit and fresh vegetables. Now everything is made with bottled juices and frozen fruit. They don't even have fresh carrots anymore. When I asked if the carrot juice was 100% fresh carrot juice, the employee told me no -- it's mixed with water, which explains why it tastes so bad. It feels like they're buying bottled carrot juice from the grocery store, diluting it, and serving it to customers. Well the cashier told me this is what they do. They also don't use fresh apples -- just bottled apple juice. If you think you're coming to a healthy juice place, you're really not. There are very few actual vegetables available (basically just spinach and kale), and most drinks feel more sugary than healthy. I've been to many juice bars that use real, fresh fruits and vegetables, and this isn't one of them anymore. On top of that, the customer service was not good. Overall, this place has gone downhill and was a huge disappointment.

Most experiences are fair. But, today they seemed pretty rude and unprofessional. I came in after a…read moregroup of people, waited my turn, got served after everyone who arrived after me. They had to ask me again, what I ordered and couldn't even get it right after serving me after everyone who came in before and after me, until there was nobody else left to serve. I told them that my dad likes his, so that he can have the yogurt for his stomach, but not actually taste it. The guy working with the ladies tried to bring it to their attention. And they were openly rude to him about it. He was just trying to make sure the customer was happy with the purchase. We pulled out of the parking lot and had to turn back around because it didn't taste right and plugged up my straw. I told her, that it somehow plugged up my straw and wasn't even thick. So, I came back in, asked for it to be remade. She just reblended it, put it on the counter and stared at me. She told me that she just reblended it. That is not at all, what I asked for. Both mine and my dad's smoothies were gross. So, I paid for 2 large smoothies that weren't worth drinking. Next time I see them working, I'm just turning around and leaving. I want my money back. And they need to be restrained in customer service and to have their wages cut.
