I am Versatile (DINE LA special) and I AM ECLECTIC (GF)eclectic (Buffalo cauliflower)
Carissa P.

Solid place for vegan food in LA. We went for the current Dine LA special and paid $35 each for a drink, appetizer, entree, and dessert. Overall service was okay. Perhaps they were busy due to it being a Saturday night. Staff was friendly overall, but we waited 20 minutes after we asked multiple waiters for our check (AND even went to the hostess stand to ask for it again) then when we received it, were charged incorrectly. We also had to ask for water refills multiple times, as no one checked in on us during our meal. I ordered the Dine LA special drink, Buffalo cauliflower app, sweet potato and curry bowl, and key lime pie. My friend ordered the same drink, Dine LA special lemon arancini app, Dine LA special coconut tacos, and cookie. Some items (such as the drink, cauliflower, and tacos) were stronger than others, but they all were solid. Honestly, without the Dine LA specials, I think the prices were a bit high for a casual restaurant. The ambiance is true SoCal- open, bright, airy, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Would be back if I'm in the mood for a plant-forward meal.

Visited Cafe Gratitude while in Los Angeles. The atmosphere was super relaxed and easygoing, and the service was friendly without being over the top. Tried a couple of their dishes -- really fresh, clean flavors with a cool twist that kept things interesting. It's the kind of spot where you can just sit back, enjoy your meal, and not feel rushed. Overall, a solid, chill place and worth coming back to. Saluti

Perfect spot for wholesome food! Everything is so flavorful, filling and nourishing. The I AM CARING nachos and I AM KANSHA bowl were excellent.

5 stars coffee, minus 1 star for Platform fee on the bill if you pay via the QR code.

Cinnamon roll
Erin H.

Have been here a few times. It's so cute, love the light breezy vibes. Staff is *so* nice. I got the tahini butter cookie today, which was a really nice texture and not too sweet. Really enjoyed. Have had the cinnamon roll in the past which was also super good. Both are gluten free. Need to come back for food but tend to go to the Venice location for dinner cuz it's closer. The only downside is that it feels like kinda hefty up charges for gluten free alterations, like minimum of $4.50 on dishes that are already $22-$25 at baseline. Sigh up for their rewards program!

food is tasty and so flavorful! Beautiful flavor combinations! Love the environment. Very cool chill vibes. Love the music selection!! Great attitude from our servers! It was definitely a vibe! Definitely on one of my top favorites! Oh! And soo Sorry we couldn't wait to eat.. haha after one bite it was over!

gem salad
Roxanne C.

This has been one of my go-to restaurants for years whenever I would visit LA. However, I now feel like I probably won't come back. The food just isn't very good anymore and I feel like nothing is flavorful. I'm not sure if the quality has gone down or if my standards have gone up. We ordered the gem salad, lions mane sandwich, and pesto alfredo pasta. The salad dressing was overpowered by the water content of the lettuce, meaning the dressing probably wasn't "strong" enough. The "bacon" on top tastes just like mushrooms marinated in soy sauce. The pasta had a very weak pesto flavor. The bed of arugula under the pasta makes the dish very bitter if you get a bite even with a small bit of the leaves. I do like that there are veggies like edamame in the pasta! The lions mane sandwich is one we've had before and really enjoyed, but there was significantly less lions mane this time and it just tasted overall more dry. The side potatoes are too thick for my personal preference. I wished they were smashed a little more. For this visit alone, I would've probably given two stars for the food. However, service is always great here and I have had dishes that i've loved here in the past, so I will give three stars.

Absolutely love this place! Their vegan food is always so creative and on point. I love the variety of their menu and how the waiters give you an inspiring question to contemplate with your table mates and how the atmosphere is so warm and friendly!

I am Fulfilled
Grace F.

Came here for a girlfriend's birthday dinner and was excited to finally try Cafe Gratitude after hearing so much about it. We ordered a few dishes to share, and I loved how each menu item is named as an affirmation--so cute! We got: I Am Delectable (corn ribs with salsa macha, crema ajo blanco, cilantro, and lime) - so good, especially with the sauce. I'd never had corn ribs before but would definitely order again. 4.1/5. I Am Trusting (roasted purple potato & lion's mane mushroom salad with garnet yam, bell peppers, kale, broccolini, edamame, mung bean quiche, spinach pesto, and BBQ sauce) - couldn't really pick out the lion's mane since everything was mixed together, but the flavors worked beautifully. 4.1/5. I Am Fulfilled (butternut bolognese lasagne with broccolini, spinach, truffled almond béchamel, almond burrata, rice lasagne noodles, Brazil nut parmesan, and gremolata, served with a Caesar salad) - such an interesting vegan take on lasagna, and surprisingly hearty. 4.3/5. I Am Giving (Hawaiian pizza with pineapple, blackened tempeh, coconut bacon, marinara, coconut burrata, and Brazil nut parmesan) - the coconut burrata was creamy and delicious, and I discovered I love tempeh. 4.2/5. To drink, I had I Am Powerful - a hard blue lemonade with Juneshine hard kombucha, blue spirulina, lemon, and agave. Refreshing and unique! 4/5. The staff were warm and friendly, even taking a group photo for us. This place is a great reminder of how creative and flavorful plant-based food can be--honestly some of the best I've had.

I AM BEAMING - delicious pasta
Sam J.

Came to Cafe Gratitude for the first time. I'll start by saying I am not a vegan and don't often eat vegan but this will not be the last time I eat here. DineLA was a perfect time to try it out. Everyone loves Larchmont for the charm and not LA feel of the town and this restaurant fits right in with the vibe. We sat out on their patio on a beautiful evening. The service was great and honestly how can you not have gratitude for getting helped by people that are truly appreciative for what they do. We started with two mocktails that were delicious. I had the Italian chopped salad which honestly can compete for best salads I've ever had. We also got the crab cakes and I tasted it. It wasn't for me but loved by the table. My main was the I AM BEAMING pesto pasta that I'll call perfection, keeping the P's in place. Very filling, very flavorful and all gone by the end of the meal. Finished off the dinner with the cookie dessert. I am not a nuts in my cookies person so it wasn't my favorite. However the "ice cream" on top of the warm cookie helped me get through it just fine. If you know a vegan or are a vegan yourself. This is a place where you don't have to search for something you can eat. The menu is for you. And that is something to have gratitude for.

Millet Nori Roll
Lucy K.

First time visiting the Larchmont location and I loved it. I have been to the Venice location a few times, so I already knew I was in for something good. This will always remain one of my favorite restaurants as long as they keep the Medical Medium menu. These dishes are genuinely special because they are made from whole foods that nourish both the brain and body. You can taste the creativity and intention in every bite. I tried the new millet nori roll, the pumpkin pasta bake and the best pizza ever. The I Am Healthy Mediterranean Puttanesca Potato Chickpea Pizza is unreal. It is wild that a pizza can be this healthy and still taste that incredible. My only wish is that they still had their Newport Beach location. It was such a convenient spot and much closer to home.

I AM ENTICING I AM BLESSED
Praachi S.

Experience was so-so. Service was outstanding as usual, but I was honestly disappointed by the food and drinks that we were given. The butternut squash pasta was salty on top where the flakey salt was added, but aside from that, the flavor fell flat. Not much going on, and it felt a bit watery but no spice or flavor for what was considered vodka sauce. I enjoyed the vegetables in it, but everything was cut in random sizes. The tahini matcha latte was SO bitter. The whole drink was overpowered by the tahini, and I had to ask for extra maple syrup because it was such a savory drink and lacked so much matcha flavor and sweetener. The extra maple helped it become more drinkable, but I was so disappointed. Ambiance was fine. Tables are very close together, so it's hard to have privacy when having conversations, but not much that can be done with the limited space. I don't think I'll be back sadly, even though I love the cafe gratitude motto.

Thanksgiving menu
Gin K.

We finally made it to this CG location! Hallelujah! After mourning the loss of CG from northern California, we managed to visit both locations in southern CA, including having a fabulous lunch here recently. Hubby got his favorite I Am Whole as did I and it is just next level good. Server was super friendly and kind and the vibe was relaxed in a good way. Restrooms were clean and played music which I really appreciate! Wish we lived closer. I bought a cookbook there, too, as a piece of CG I can enjoy at home.

Parking here may be difficult to find on the street, but they do have valet, too. On a Saturday afternoon, this spot is packed and quite hard to find a place to sit. Wi-Fi is available, though note that plugs and seating may be another issue. Not every spot comes with a plug, and it's going to be full, so you may need to wait 15-20 minutes. It is indeed a small spot, so if you're looking for a quiet spot to work, this might not be it. The interior decor, though, is quite clean aesthetically and is relaxing to work in. The Matcha Latte, though, let me say if you're in need of an afternoon pick-me-up, this will keep you energized, even without the sugar! A few sips in and a half cup later, I had so much energy I could probably run a marathon if I had the right shoes (and I don't even like running).

The café is located within an apartment complex and offers underground parking, which the coffee shop validates the first hour is only $3. Street parking is also available. You follow the café signs to an elevator, and once you arrive, you're welcomed into a moody, beautiful space. DOGS ARE ALLOWED which is awesome. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor area feels like a balcony terrace combo with a small but lovely view of the LA skyline. We sat here and our doggo enjoyed a nap in the sun. It's a great spot to work, study, or catch up with friends without feeling cramped or rushed. The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly. They offer a nice variety of drinks, and we ordered an iced matcha latte and a hot Madagascar vanilla latte. For pastries, we chose a guava madeleine and a cookie butter madeleine. Everything is made fresh, and they actually whisk the matcha for each drink, which really shows in the quality. Our drinks came out quickly and were delicious. I loved my matcha, and my husband really enjoyed his latte. The pastries were also great, especially the cookie butter madeleine. This café is dog-friendly, which is a nice bonus.

They only validate for 30 minutes, which honestly feels short given the setup. The vibes are immaculate though. Excellent music selection and sound quality -- it made the space really easy to focus in (unless you hate music). That alone elevated the experience a lot for me. I went on a Monday around 5 PM and they had no food available, which was disappointing because the kimchi fried rice sounded amazing. I ordered the matcha, and it was genuinely excellent. The foam had a slight saltiness to it that paired really well with the drink, and the matcha itself tasted high quality. I wouldn't change anything about it. My drink came out to around $9 including tip. Overall, I really liked this place and would probably come here often if I lived nearby. Between the expensive parking, limited outlet-to-seat ratio, and lack of food during my visit, I'd give it a solid 4/5.
