We visited Cafe Gratitude at least half a dozen times! This restaurant is 100% Organic and Plant-based. Most of the food is Gluten free, but they do have the option of whole wheat bread for sandwiches (any food made with gluten, is made in a different area of the kitchen). The food is really great and is perfect for those transitioning into eating cleaner plant-based diets. We have found that most of the food is cooked. Cafe Gratitude has many locations, five in California (#6 is opening in Beverly Hills Spring 2017) and one is Kanas City, which is the one we visit. The area where the restaurant is located is super artsy, and that vibe flows throughout the cafe. The floor plan is super open so you can watch as the chefs prepare the food. If you are a fan of Mexican inspired food, you will love Cafe Gratitude! Think a healthier version of Cafe Rio/Chipotle tastes wise. They have a large verity of foods, everything from Pancakes to Indian curry, and everything in between.  Their Mexican/Southwest Recipes are our families favorite. They also have AMAZING smoothies (my personal favorite is beautiful) They also have this killer kale salad (It's called pure). After having it at the restaurant, I found the recipe online for it, I then recreated it. It was amazing and has become a family favorite. Comment down below if you would like us to post the recipe. We always seem to be at this restaurant late at night, thus the poor photo quality.

UPDATE: We have visited this restaurant recently and have found that the quality in food has decreased. Also, the restaurant has gotten more sloppy about cross contamination.
