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!

Filling and seasoned to perfection As a vegan having a Caesar salad with croutons is normally not an option but today was the day. My salad was delicious fresh crunchy. More dressing than I would normally have but it word so well on this salad I had no complaints at all. The staff here make their own dressing. My daughter ordered the crunch wrap and again he stated that it was wonderful. Great flavor combination I ordered 2 scones to go for later. I'm looking forward to them

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.

I love how they name the menu items a positive affirmation. Check it out even if you're not vegan. You won't be disappointed!!

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!!

Mediterranean salad which had fresh ingredients and a nice lemon tahini dressing along with a bowl of chefs choice. The hibiscus oasis was very refreshing.

Their food is amazing and delicious. Even if you aren't having a large or catered event, inquire about their delivery options. I had the fried chicken, greens, potato salad, cream corn, and rice and bean dinners. It was actually dinner for two. The owner accommodated my order and delivery was prompt. Everything including the sauces- Barbecue, Buffalo and Thai Chili was amazing. Top notch all around. I will definitively try them again in the very near future. A must try for any vegan/vegetarian foodie.

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.

I was in a frenzied panic to find a caterer for my daughters wedding shower after a flare of chronic illness left me unable to do the cooking. From the moment I first spoke to Virginia on the phone, I knew I was in good hands and my anxiety was calmed exponentially. I had a menu I planned to make myself and felt heartbroken to let that go. HOWEVER...Yes, Cozy Home Meals has a terrific menu to choose from, but Virginia walked me through MY vision and made that vision happen and more. Cozy Home Meals quite literally saved the day! Virginia not only delivered the food, with all accompaniments, but the salad and fruit was tossed fresh here before a quick cleanup and off they went. Cozy Home Meals service was EXEMPLARY. Their communication was clear, visionary, accurate and timely. Their professionalism was above the bar while also providing a warm, caring and sincere point of contact. And their pricing was spot on. BUT THE FOOD! Everything was absolutely delicious! Every single item from the appetizers to the main courses to dessert got so many complements that I had guests asking for their contact information. The Autumn butternut squash soup was 10 out of 10! Every item was simply exquisite. I cannot recommend Cozy Home Catering enough. Thank you so very much Virginia! You'll be hearing from me again soon!
