Cafe Gratitude Reviewed - (Verdict: so good we went twice in one day)
The We Like It Raw Squad is out and about again. This weekend we're exploring the raw scene in San Francisco, California. Our first stop, Cafe Gratitude, (photos).
Since this raw-spot has come so highly recommended from our San Fran corespondent Sandeep, we didn't waste much time getting from the airport to our table.
Almost everything on the menu is raw. There are a few cooked grains and hot teas, but if you are a raw enthusiast, it stills feels like being a kid in a candy store.
The Run Down: Priced well, wholesome environment (hippyish), super friendly staff, and laid back San Fran mentality.
What We Noticed: Community tables, quick service, to-go refrigerator with raw-goodies, abundant love notes & creative messages,
Needs Improvement: Everything we tried amazing here, with one exception, the bowl of cereal.
