    I AM ABUNDANT (Loaded Mexican Fries)
    Kristin S.

    I have been to Cafe Gratitude several times. The service is always great. Food is delicious. Parking is a little difficult depending on the time of day but we were able to fine street parking. Dog friendly on their patio which was perfect and the weather was so nice. We came during happy hour. I didn't even know they had a happy hour menu so this was great. It was the perfect late lunch.

    Came here to celebrate a graduation for a dear friend. She is vegan and wanted to try this place. Im always up for trying new things and was excited to see what they had to offer. The menu has lots to choose from. We ended up going with the soy fuerte gratitude crunchwrap, truffled mushroom bianca, and the coconut calamari. The flavors were good and filling! I really enjoyed the calamari, i wasn't expecting it to be young coconut strips but it is a great alternative! The crunchwrap was good as well as the pizza. I was really surprised and told my friend, ok vegan food doesnt look hard to make! She started laughing lol Service was great, lots of seating inside. There is street parking and also a public garage around the corner. I had a great time and did enjoy the food however, im not sure what it could have been but i was using the restroom a lot the next day. I typically eat a lot of veggies so im not sure what it was. I joked with my friend, no wonder you're skinny, i felt like i had a colon cleanse LOL Eating here opened me up to trying new spots that are vegan!

    Came for the DineLA.com $25 lunch with friends and to try this restaurant for the first time. Our server Ashley was great! We had the coconut drink (delicious!), pink lemonade, black bean burger with fries (delicious!), I am Glorious blackened tempeh with fruit, I am Beaming pasta (bland) with asparagus and broccolini (tasty), and tofu scramble. We agreed the pasta was quite generous, but bland. However, the broccolini mixed in the pasta was tasty. My black bean burger with fries was delicious! The blackened tempeh was too spicy for my friend. The server(s) took it away to replace the black tempeh with tofu, but it took such a long time to get it back that she just had it packed to go bc the rest of us were done with our meals. Nice ambience. We sat in the patio which is dog friendly. Water cannot be brought to the dogs close to the building due to health policies. However, the dogs can be led to the water on the other side of the patio which is what we did with our two small dogs. Street parking or validated parking in the building.

    I love this place and came back again--and the experience was so much better this time. Service has improved significantly: much more attentive and genuinely friendly. The bean burger is hands down the best I've ever had; I honestly came back just for that. I also tried the tofu bowl, which was beautifully smoked and absolutely delicious. For dessert, I highly recommend the warm cookie dough with ice cream--it was incredible. You can tell management really pays attention to the details, and it shows in the overall experience. Will definitely be back again soon!

    My first time dining at this gem in Venice neighborhood. I enjoyed my Greek Mediterranean salad. So tasty. Our waiter, James, was super helpful with the menu. I'll for sure recommend to all my Vegan friends!

    Had a quick lunch at Cafe Gratitude in Venice today and it was fantastic. The decor is so peaceful and zen with lots of plants outside. I love that the options on the menu are affirmations ! It makes you feel as if you're truly taking care of yourself inside and out! I ordered the Cesar salad and açaí bowl and both were delicious! Highly recommend it!

    I am chill and loving is exactly what I needed for flow and abundance this week. Great service, great food and great company! I'm not even vegan and I will continue to eat here!

    Went for a walk with a friend around Venice and decided to stop by Cafe Gratitude for lunch. I was looking for a place that wasn't too unhealthy and my friend also has a bunch of allergies, so this restaurant seemed to hit all the checkmarks for us. Right when we walked in, service was friendly and accommodated us and a little doggo on the patio. The menu was a QR code thing, I was stuck between the I am Mindful protein bowl and the I am Worthy omelet and after the server showed me photos, I decided to go with the omelet! It was delish, I finished the whole thing. My friend ordered the pasta and she ate the whole thing too. The overall vibe of the restaurant patio was super chill. We enjoyed the nice beach weather and had a nice view of all the cutie pies jogging down the street lol. Overall, will definitely come back.

    Came to cafe gratitude with my friends Emmie and Kylie last Saturday for lunch after a soundbath at Shefa around the corner. The menu & entire vibe of Cafe Gratitude was everything we could have asked for. From the I am statements that made up the menu, GF options for my GF girlies and accommodations on my wrap for my many allergies, it was all 5 stars. The chai smelt delicious, fries tasted great, and pasta was cooked perfectly. Having allergies makes attention to detail key and the waiter took care of each and every one of us. While the unhoused situation on Rose definitely effected a bit of the ambiance, we were grateful for the heaters, clean aesthetic, and good energy on the patio.

    We stopped in for coffee while waiting for our daughter and didn't realize it was a vegan restaurant -- our first time trying one! The whole concept is so unique and inspiring. Each menu item is named after a positive affirmation, which really adds to the vibe and experience. I had the I AM MARVELOUS Mocha Coffee and the I AM DIVINE Cheesecake, while my husband ordered the I AM COURAGEOUS Coffee and I AM APPRECIATED Strawberry Cheesecake. Everything was flavorful and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was calm, uplifting, and just full of good energy. We definitely plan to return soon to explore the full vegan menu. Such a cool and refreshing experience!

    Cafe gratitude is a very good option for vegan cuisine as they have so many options that cater to everything one could want! I think as a non vegan and not the biggest fan of vegan alternatives all the time lol, I enjoy it, specifically the breakfast burrito and the fries and I look forward to trying other options on the menu.

    I loved the vegan mozzarella pizza margharita so much! I met my wonderful 82 year young student and friend Sally here. She drove all the way up from Santa Barbara for this meal and loved it! She said it was worth the long drive! It was very meaningful and I love how the waiters here give you a thoughtful question to reflect upon with your meal companions. Such a positive vibe!

    I am loving.  I am luminous

    I have been meaning to try this place out for months. I got tired of waiting on people so I went by…read moremyself on a weekend. What had previously intrigued me was the fridge cigarette coffee drink and their aesthetics. I ordered an Avo toast and of course the fridge cigarette (chilled espresso, with Diet Coke and I added cold foam). The Avo toast was okay - what you would expect it to taste like. I personally like mine with a little bit of kick - either chili crunch oil or some chili flakes. The drink was really good too - I do wish the espresso was a bit more like a double so it could be stronger. Because I still wanted to taste the coffee flavor together with the coke but I felt like the coffee needed to be a bit stronger so the coke didn't overpower the flavor. But still good. I want to try the short stack next, which looks like a yummy drink. The aesthetic and design was very cool and retro. The place was packed and I think I was the only person who didn't have a laptop. So it definitely seems like a chill place for people to work/study. The chef who also assisted me with my order was super cool and helpful. Told me about events that they have and that they expanded their hours until 7 pm and do a happy hour from 5-7 pm. She said it's more of a wine bar at that time. I'm definitely going to come back for that after work. Price point is what you would expect from a trendy LA coffee and wine bar. I think my bill came out to $32 for the Avo roast, fridge cigarette ($2 added for cold foam) and I also got a custom lighter (lighter with diet coke logo wrapped). I would recommend this place for either a chill coffee get together/date or by yourself like I did , or in the evening for their more wine bar vibe for happy hour.

    Cafe and people were nice. The food was mediocre. The drinks were not great. Very watery matcha. We…read moreordered 2 diff drinks and both were ...not that good to say the least. For $10+, you would get a much better deal at any of the other overhyped matcha places. It was nice to see non-matcha drinks as well so we also tried the tropicoqueta- sounds cool but not tasty at all. It was like watered down matcha with white flakes inside. :( Pretty disappointed. If they just got their food and drinks together, this would be such a hot spot.

We all ordered the World Famous Hot Vanilla Latte, which is made with vanilla syrup, espresso, and steamed milk. While I usually go for one of their matcha drinks or something a little sweeter, I had not had this latte in a while and figured it was time to order it again. It was great for the weather and exactly what I was in the mood for. I normally visit the Studio City location but this Marina del Rey location was a pleasant surprise. It is right by the marina, so you can enjoy your drink while watching the boats go by. The cafe also has a cute nautical theme that gives it a different feel from many of Alfred's other locations. The service was friendly and efficient and our drinks came out quickly and exactly as ordered. Parking was also very convenient. The parking lot offers two hours of free parking with validation and all of the businesses validate. Since we were there for longer than two hours, I simply drove out and back in. Overall, this is a great Alfred location if you are in the Marina del Rey area. Between the waterfront views, easy parking, and consistently good drinks, it is definitely worth stopping by.

The espresso actually shines through, and it's not overloaded with sweetness like a lot of specialty lattes can be. If you're looking for a simple, well-made latte, this is it. And if you've got more of a sweet tooth, they've got plenty of creative specialty drinks to choose from too. This place feels like it's about to become a local favorite. Definitely a new go-to spot, and I'll be bringing all my homies from the area here soon. Highly recommend.
