They unfortunately, were out of the chili that I wanted and since I can't eat bread I felt really jipped getting the black bean burger ( for $10) which was just a very small burger on a piece of lettuce. Once I started eating it though it satisfied me to no end. Coupled with a pumpkin pie spice smoothie I was well satisfied even for the money I wish I had the money to buy their finest assortment of fermented and cultured goodness including mustards, kimchi, ancho mole and so many other tasty things that I got to sample

It was slathered was a tasty homemade Ketchup. All and all, I think it should have been priced at $5 since I was walking up to a truck to purchase it, the raw ingredients were nothing. They had nothing but bread and burger: how hard is it for a vegetarian food truck to add lettuce, tomato, something creative. The gentleman running the truck were hitting the upsales pretty aggressively. Probably won't be returning. The whole experience was pretty meh.

My friend and I met for Happy Hour at Whole Harvest Kitchen, and we had a MARVELOUS time!…read moreOur server was Sofhia V, and she was the soul of hospitality. When we told her it was our first visit to the restaurant, she took the time to carefully go over the menus with us (regular, happy hour, and drinks), providing her recommendations when we asked. Her guidance was spot-on-target! For drinks, I had a Mindful Chai and my friend had the 3-Beverage Flight (Golden Hour, Heart Says Thanks, and Tres Raices). My chai was the BEST I have ever tasted (and I order chai every chance I get!), and my friend loved her 3 drinks (she said Tres Raices was her favorite). For our food, we split an order of the Not Queso Dip and the Avocado Tostadas. We were both very impressed by how fresh the ingredients were, and the blend of flavors in each dish that created a unique and yummy taste. The Kitchen has an open, airy layout that inspires deep breathing, while the arrangement and spacing of tables still provides for intimacy of conversation and minimal ambient noise. Sofhia checked back with us several times during our meal to ensure we had everything we needed and were thoroughly enjoying our food and drink (we were!). It was a delightful meal, and we thank Sofhia, the kitchen staff, and everyone at Whole Harvest Kitchen for such a lovely time. We'll be back!!

*Wonderful Staff* *Beautiful Space*…read more*Delicious Food* What else could you want?? We visited for lunch and kept it simple - two apps and an entree. What a treat! We didn't sample, but next time I'd like to try a flight of their wellness drinks! The LETTUCE CRUNCH WRAPS (soy-glazed jicama & tofu, lentil, pickled veg, walnut, cilantro, sesame dip) were an absolute favorite. Highly recommended! The texture was very well balanced. Silky smooth butter lettuce and a delicious sauce on the side, although it truly didn't even need it. The AVOCADO TOSTADAS (blue corn tostada, guacamole, quinoa, white bean, radish, pickled red onion, super seed) were yummy, but our least favorite of the three. Instead of a thin layer of mashed avocados, I'd honestly just put a few nice slices of avocado for the bulk of it. Taste was lovely! It is a totally cold dish, fyi. The HARVEST WOK BOWL (split pea-fu, beluga lentil, farro, snap pea, greens, brown rice, daikon, cashew, ginger-scallion sauce) was completely phenomenal. I could do without the split pea-fu, but it probably added some great nutrition! The FLAVOR and texture of this dish was so so good. I can't even right now. (As my teenager would say...) Enjoy!!

As someone who lives in St. Louis and visits Kansas City several times per year, I always make it…read moremy mission to stop by Cafe Gratitude for a meal while I'm in town! I tried Cafe Gratitude for the first time a few years ago, and I haven't stopped thinking about this place since. They provide more than just food... it's a whole EXPERIENCE. I've always been very warmly greeted at the front entrance. Sometimes while visiting, I've had a short wait. Other times are more empty, such as when there's a Chiefs game. All of the employees are extremely kind, personable, and welcoming. Service has truly never lacked for me here. You will notice right away that every menu item is an affirmation. At the top of the menu, it says, "I Am..." and each drink, appetizer, and entree is a positive word. As your food is delivered, they tell you your affirmation. For example, if I ordered the Warm Hearted bowl, they would say, "You are Warm Hearted." Even the water pitchers at each table have affirmative words on them. It's the little things like this that make Cafe Gratitude so special! Also, as you're placing your order, your server will leave your table with a "question of the day" that you can reflect upon and discuss with others. My partner and I love these prompts while we're waiting on our food. There's also a deck of special cards at each table that have additional questions for reflection! I try to order a different menu item every time I visit, so I've enjoyed a little bit of everything at this point. For appetizers, you have to try the Plentiful (chili). While I've never had anything here that I didn't love, my top favorite entrees would have to be Terrific (raw pad thai bowl), Warm Hearted (Italian polenta and squash noodles), and Whole (macrobiotic bowl). I also love Grateful, also known as their community bowl. If you need financial assistance with this bowl, you may pay a sliding scale of $3-11. If you want to contribute to someone else, you can pick an amount and set it aside for someone in need. I wish more businesses did this! During my most recent visit, I decided to try Transformed (tacos), which include sweet potatoes, black beans, guacamole-style hummus, pico de gallo, and cashew nacho cheese on organic corn tacos. They were delicious, but I'll probably stick to my bowls next time! It came with a side salad that wasn't anything super special but still full of flavor. The walls of the restaurant are covered in local art that rotates regularly and is available for purchase. The space itself is very cute and cozy. I read more about Cafe Gratitude's story on their website, and much of the interior is upcycled. For example, many of the light fixtures are made of old wine and vodka bottles. At the host stand, they have Cafe Gratitude postcards that you can write a message on, and they'll mail them out for you. The flavors of everything here is unmatched. Such unique combinations that my heart so happy. I always leave here feeling so fulfilled.

There weren't a ton of gluten-free options for me but I was happy to get the Breakfast Tacos and my boyfriend got the Chicken Fried Chicken and his brother got the Sausage and Cheese Biscuit. Everything was delicious! (And I'm always pleased when my non-vegan companions are happy with their vegan food.) Staff was super friendly and seemed to enjoy their jobs, which is always something we like to see. Not a huge space but there were a handful of tables for 4 in addition to a long communal table people could sit at. There were a few baked goods that I couldn't try because they weren't gluten-free but my boyfriend and his brother liked one of the cookies they got. Overall a very nice visit and would definitely come back again!

Parking here can be a bit of a challenge since the stairs limited parking and is located right off of a busy Street. Staff here was absolutely friendly and I had a welcoming atmosphere upon walking in. It had a great menu with plenty of things to choose from. I settled for a wrap and a smoothie. I do believe that the Smoothie was pretty pricey for what you get for such a small cup . They offer a lot when it comes to the restaurant like coaching as well and the owner plays a great part to the the community which is awesome . Wait times were not bad at all, I really did enjoy the food here I did leave feeling very satisfied and full. Overall, I do reccomend visiting this establishment

Gigi's might just be my new little work from home hangout spot!…read more Gigi was the loveliest and you can genuinely tell that she is passionate about what she is doing. We got the protein smoothies that were on special that day with a side of healing seaweed shots. The seaweed shots were very unique and not at all what I expected, but Gigi explained what it was to us and that lead to even more of a conclusion that she knows her stuff! They have some fun products for sale and it looks like they have some small bites as well. I look forward to trying more! One note: every time I've driven by they've either looked closed or empty. Their new hours are on a piece of print out paper taped to their wall, so if they could update their hours in more places and/or have a very visible open sign, that would help! I'd also love to know if the parking in the empty lot next to them is fair game, as parking for their establishment is pretty difficult on such a busy road as Westport.
