Cannot say enough good things about the Mocha Cheesecake! Yes it was that good that I had to start my review with that. Its the best cheesecake we have had. The mocha flavor was absolutely heavenly, the crust also seemed to have crushed expresso beans in it. Its a cute little place, they have a lot of space outdoors and indoors. It was on our list for the longest time and this will definitely be one of our regulars now. We tried the Chef's Flatbread Pizza, Margarita and it was really good. I think the tomatoes and the acidity was just a tad much but I loved the crust and the vegan cheese was the star of the dish. It really brought everything together. We also tried the black bean burger and I truly liked the patty , I did feel the burger was a bit dry. It needed a little bit of more sauce for it to come together. I think pickles in the burger really added to the flavor. I had heard really good things about their Tiramisu but I was told it's a seasonal thing and they only have it during the holidays unfortunately. Glad we tried the mocha cheesecake since that was delicious. For the deserts, I would give this place five stars. Hope to come back here and try other things on the menu. read more

Cafe Gratitude - Margarita Pizza + Red Wine - Vegan Near Me - Venice, California

Quick recap: -          Food: Average -          Portion size: Small -          Service: Table service -          Environment: Hipstery cool / Modern -          $: Expensive -          Perks: Sunny exposure for some tables More details: Went there for lunch. The terrace is rather large, so you can be pretty sure you will be able to enjoy the Californian sun. In terms of food, we had the Kale Salad ($16 - read $20 after tax and tips) - check the picture, this is definitely not worth it, a wrap ($17) - good, but so small I could have eater 3, and one of their coffees ($6.5). In my opinion, as the portions were so small, this is overpriced. Overall? Staff is nice. Environment is cool. But, way overpriced for small portions: be ready to drop $30 (after tips and taxes) for a small wrap and a coffee... read more

While stumbling upon restaurants seldomly occurs for us, this was one seriously fortuitous occurrence after glancing at the huge (and not-so-COVID-friendly) crowd gathered outside The Rose. Cafe Gratitude's outdoor patio was one of the most comfortable I've dined in, replete with very well spaced apart tables and heat lamps adjacent to nearly every one to keep customers toasty. Ordering was a breeze using the Toast-powered online system and though our wait was somewhat lengthy at ~30 min, it was well worth it. Happy (Spicy Korean Pulled Mushroom Sandwich) An absolute explosion of robust savoriness & sweetness that quite frankly outdid a majority of Korean dishes I've had! The signature mushroom "chew" was elevated nicely by the coleslaw and who knew vegan brioche could be so pillowy soft? Our side of roasted garnet yams was also perfectly cooked and worth the extra cost. Margherita Giving (Chef's Flatbread Pizza) Delightful creaminess from the nut-based cheese substitutes, loads of bright acidity and an excellent crust made this nearly as satisfying as many of the best pies we've eaten. Blessed (Butternut Squash Bolognese) Pleasant al dente pasta with unique combination of smoky and mellow savory flavors. Overall, astonishingly derricious vegan fare that really piqued our interest in exploring the many other offerings here. Together with the warm and genuine hospitality, we'll definitely be back soon! read more

Still such an amazing spot for vegetarian food. I love the names on the menu! "I Am Joy" is my favorite. It seems a little more expensive post Covid (which I understand) or maybe I'm remembering incorrectly (very possible) but no matter what it is worth every penny! It's delicious and beautiful! read more

It was my first time at a vegan restaurant so I was a bit confused about what to order but Aura helped me without making me feel pressured, truly amazing service and I am very thankful She knows what she's talking about, the Crunchwrap HIT !!!!!! read more

The decor is insanely soothing and gorgeous!!! OMG - it's all done right. Long bar seating, many indoor and outdoor tables. The food is so yummy! I love Ayurvedic inspired food, which basically is a form of vegan, but even better. Way more nutritious IMO. Every dish has outstanding flavor and is presented in a very beautiful way on the plate, from the French toast, to the quiche, to the lentil curry bowl. I have so much love for this place read more

I love this place, but my last meal from there had either sand or rocks in my food. I'm lucky I didn't break a tooth!

A great entirely vegan restaurant in Venice! The menu is pretty diverse with pizza, bowls, enchiladas, salads, etc. We tried the butternut squash pasta and enchiladas which were both pretty good. Portions are average size where it's filling but you probably won't have leftovers. The spritz drinks were also delicious and looked great too. Street parking is fairly easy in the nearby neighborhoods read more

Outdoor seating and staff were nice. Coffee was good. Companion enjoyed the chicken and waffles. Tofu scramble was disgusting. Cinnamon roll (which a staff member said was "the best" and sells out fast) was awful. So disappointing after enjoying the original Cafe Gratitude locations in the Bay Area for years. They shouldn't have changed their menu. read more

We saw Kourtney Kardashian here!!! Also the food was great, definitely recommend the Spirulina shake. read more

This place sucks took 1 hour for them to make me two smoothies they just walk around and talk and laugh and joke instead of actually work

My husband and I tried this place with Dine-la takeout. We ordered: I AM EXQUISITE (coconut calamari) I AM ECSTATIC (roasted Brussels sprouts) I AM COMMITTED (vegan burger) I AM ELATED (vegan enchilada) drinks: I AM CHIC (white sangria) I AM RADIANT (mimosa) We liked our food options and they tasted pretty good. The drinks were okay. We were definitely enjoying the food more. read more

Came here for the first time and I'm not even Vegan! My friend was visiting who was vegan and decided to take her here. From the moment we walked in, I instantly loved the ambiance of this place. It did take us a little longer to get service but once we did our server was really nice! I loved that they tell you the question of the day which invites customers to reflect on their life and serve gratitude. I had the nachos and got a side of the mushrooms. I'm not vegan but I love the food here and would come here again! read more

this is such a clean nice resto to eat at. however, i don't think it fit my taste buds that well, but i did like the corn ribs. was def hard to eat tho bc it doesn't offer much corn on the actual cob, it is a super unique way of presenting the dish tho! also tried the kelp noodles but it was too salty for me i also got the spirulina latte(8/10), yo soy fuerte wrap, margherita pizza, and i am humble(indian curry bowl). overall service was kinda slow but they were nice. read more

While Cafe Gratitude is offering patio dining during the pandemic, my family opted for the safety of our backyard and decided to order our breakfast to-go. We ordered everything over the phone and then I stopped by to pick up our items. The order was ready in a timely manner, except for the coffee drinks which took a minute to make when I arrived (( didn't mind waiting for freshness.) Social distancing was practiced and encouraged, as was wearing masks. I have to say their breakfast items taste way better than their dinner items. To be honest, I had been to the Cafe Gratitude in Larchmont a few years ago for dinner and found their dishes absoultely tasteless and pretty boring. Vegan cuisine has come a long way since then and it shows in the flavors at Cafe Gratitude. The cinnamon roll was absolutely outstanding, and everyone was really happy with their breakfast wraps. Vegan or not, Cafe Gratitude is a great place to add to your breakfast rotation. read more

It wasn't the food, but the service. The waitress that I had rarely checked in to see how my friend and I were doing. She was doing the bare minimum. I also noticed one of the workers there continued looking at us while we' were just trying enjoy our dinner. I doubt I'll come back or refer anyone. I honestly wish I had a better experience. read more

Food was fine but the service was not. It was late in the afternoon and the place wasn't even busy but it felt many people work there but just not paying attention. Also the orders were arriving quite late and we were told it's backed up but the place was pretty much empty..? I used to love this place but it definitely isn't the same. Also the seats were dirty and had to change seats a couple of times. read more

I'm here every weekend.Adolfo your services are five star my guy.What a great experience.

I don't find new vegan places that I love this much. I got the crunchwrap (yo soy fuerte :)) and it was SO yummy. Who needs taco bell. I love hard kombucha and of course they've got Juneshine on tap. Although sometimes my friends felt silly ordering by saying "I am powerful" or whathaveyou-- it was truly a great place to get dinner. Didn't even have a wait to be seated on a Saturday night. Only note I will add is that my friends were disappointed by the pho. Maybe it's the one thing that I would recommend avoiding. It wasn't bad, just kinda meh. Everything else: delicious. The vegan mozzarella on the pizza was also super impressive! Can't wait to try again. read more

I love a fun vegan spot. It's classy and has a happy hour, too. I came here during the DineLA specials and was not disappointed. The waiters definitely know the best items on the menu, and there are a nice range of food items and unique drink items as well. My boyfriend was excited to eat protein pancakes and have a blueberry cocktail that had spirulina in it! Very creative and inventive spot read more

Awesome vibes, prime location. My server Marcus was awesome & so kind, kept checking to make sure we were good to go! Highly recommend this place for a chill spot to have a drink/catch up read more

All the food is delicious, get the loaded nachos and key lime pie! The staff is amazing, our family adore Marcus and Jenny.

Love the food, service and ambience. I've been going to cafe gratitude for over 3 years and I never get tired of their food. The plate I'm awesome is my favorite! read more

We drove quite a distance to eat here, not knowing that they had a filming event so we ended up ordering out and eating in the parking garage. It was so dissappointing because we called before arriving and no one told us of this event. The food was NOT the same. We've eaten here many times but recently the quality is poor and the prices are extreme. Its sad to see a once vibrant eating establishment drop their quality of service. We will NOT be coming back anytime soon. read more

We were so excited to have breakfast at this place last week but got deeply disappointed. It felt like eating in a cheap Mexican restaurant. Also the coffee was cold when they served it and the salad looked days old. Please work on your quality of food. We have always been big fans, but this was disappointing. read more

My favorite vegan restaurant! The ambiance is wonderful, the food is divine and my dog loves going. Can't recommend it more highly.

I love cafe gratitude but sometimes their servers come off as a bit misogynist - the Australian guy with the ponytail, another guy who always has to have the last word and talks over you when you're ordering to ask if you have food allergies. Honestly I go to moon juice across the street where everyone is bubbly and treat you as if you're part of the community. I've been a regular at both places for years... read more

This place used to be great. I ate here three or more times a week and even worked here while in grad school. Then they sold out to a corporate entity and it's never been quite the same. They completely shut their doors during Covid, a time when people needed salaries and healthy food. They didn't even pay their workers. For that I decided not to go for a long time so today's my first day back since March 10th 2020. Sadly, the once beautiful bowls of hearty portions of warm food for $15 are now small plates of food for $20. It's a regular plate of food that I can easily make it home myself. There's nothing special about Cafe Gratitude anymore. Not even the vibe! The young woman at the bar who waited on me was amazing! The doors and windows are all open so with that type of cold ocean breeze blowing through while I was trying to eat I had to hold my napkin down with a knife. Oh well corporate greed is everywhere / even with the vegans. Sad. read more

Food rates 3 stars. Tofu scramble has a nice mild flavor but the spinach was over wilted. Roasted potatoes were flavorful. The best part was the toasted strawberry compote. My lunch guest had the Chiliquiles. A good option but prepared better at their West Hollywood location. The mushroom sauté was nicely cooked and nicely paired with sautéed kale, a light crema and tortilla chips. We address a side of guacamole which took this dish from a 7.5 to an 8.5/10. While our server was friendly and knowledgeable, the kitchen did not meet expectations. Once ordered, our meal arrived more than a half hour later. At th read more

Amazing food here as always and a friendly staff with impressive energy. The food here is always delightful. The I am humble is a favorite but you can't go wrong with any dish based on your mood. I have been here over 10 times and have not once been disappointed in anyway at all really, quite surprising as I do critique small things. This round I had the I am humble, I am grateful, and I am bountiful. Every dish was tasty, the I am grateful is a cheaper entree and extremely delicious, and part of the proceeds are donated to an organization focused on sustainability. The I am bountiful was my least favorite by far but still good. And the I am humble is always a good safe option. No complaints at all here and can't foresee any in the future. They do an excellent job hiring friendly staff here who encompass the energy the restaurant im sure wants to put out. Thank you to the staff and owner here and I am grateful! read more

I love Cafe Gratitude! This location has lots of outdoor seating and a pretty, bright, and airy dining room. The brunch menu has a wide range of options and both the savory and sweet options are great. Strongly recommend the "I Am Hearty" tofu scramble and honestly anything with the cashew whipped cream because it's so delicious. The housemade pressed juices are tasty and are very fresh, I prefer them to other places (much better than Butcher's Daughter). Their coffee menu is good as well, we really enjoyed our iced americano. Parking can be easily found in the side streets and the hostess and servers were friendly and helpful! Will definitely be back! read more
