Café Gratitude Kansas City

This is the best vegan restaurant I have been to in the whole USA - from Boston to NYC to Florida to CA (and I have been vegan for over 3 years)! The menu is delightful to read, and the staff is effervescent. From the moment we sat down, to the question of the day and throughout the meal, everything was perfect. We were only in KC for 4days, and ate at Cafe Gratitude 3times. Each time was as good as the previous! I highly recommend Cafe Gratitude for vegans, vegetarians and culinarily curious non-vegans!

Outstanding place. Everyone working here is fantastic. The menu is extensive- plant based and organic. They have 2 menus - a regular and seasonal - impressive. Plating looks great - and food tastes amazing. I had WHOLE macrobiotic bowl — OMG 😋 it tastes so good. And the dessert - Tiramisu is out of this vegan world. If you in Kansas City- you have to stop by.

Beautiful restaurant, very cozy and warm. Truly a relaxing experience. Their nachos were quite filling with tons of toppings. Raw pad thai had an excellent peanut sauce and texture. The BLT had a great crispy bread, the tofu is quite crisp and thin, great smoky flavor. The vegan burger is what you’d expect, it could have been slightly bigger but overall excellent. The side salad with fig balsamic vinaigrette was ok, could have used a bit more dressing/flavor or more than just leaves to give it some oomph. The honey mustard side salad was better with more flavor. We didnt try their dessert but they had good options, slightly pricey. Overall I’d def come back to maybe read at the bar sipping one of their juices or have appetizers. Great place for conversation with friends/date, fairly quiet, good natural lighting streaming in, overall just good vibes. Parking can be tough, main option is street parking which be tough on weekends but should be able to snag a spot within a few blocks. There was a parking garage nearby that said “additional parking for cafe gratitude” but it seemed like they charged $5.
