Cafe Gratitude

I cannot say enough great things about this place. We came right before close on our first night visiting Kansas City and of course they were already cleaning the grill which is totally understandable. The hostess made sure to invite us back and when we came in the following day, it was worth the wait. Both days, she was extremely kind, welcoming and helpful in her suggestions. The plant based food was delicious (I am not vegan) and the heart of the restaurant really shows. We watched them so lovingly take care of a gentleman experiencing homelessness in a way that most businesses would not. This will be my first food stop every time I’m in KC. They even have a postcard program promoting gratitude by writing out why you’re grateful for someone and they mail it for you.

If you want to do something good for your body, go and have lunch at Café gratitude. One of the best vegetarian/vegan places I have been to. I love the concept, the friendliness of the staff, the idea of having a question of the day to chat about while waiting for your food. My salad was so big that I took the rest home with me: perfect balance of crunch, taste, healthy ingredients. Recommended.

It's so cool to have a place like this in Kansas City. I hope more vegetarian and vegan restaurants/diners become available to the area. I had the vegan omelet, which was amazing. I need to look up their menu so I can edit the names of the items that were ordered. Nevertheless, everything was delicious, and the atmosphere was inviting and comfortable.
