History
When people who are vegan go out to eat sometimes it is difficult to find something that looks good or fits their lifestyle. When Tereces and Matthew Engelhart saw this problem, they decided to open up a vegan shop in 2004.
Since opening in 2004, the restaurant still stays within the California region but has many new locations around the state.
Reviews
When walking into Café Gratitude you will notice a cozy comfy atmosphere. This is a place to go to enjoy food and feel comfortable doing so.
While many people are not keen on vegan food as it may taste different, the cooking staff makes delicious foods that will make you not even miss the meat.
When visiting the chain, you may want to order the SF Mission Food Burrito. It is filled with delicious food and smooth guacamole. There are many items on the menu that include breakfasts, brunch, lunch, dinner, and desserts. Even incorporated are adult drinks!
Wait times are average. You will order and in about ten minutes or less you will receive your food. Wait staff is amazing and always attentive.
