Cafe Gratitude

San Francisco’s Café Gratitude was founded by Matthew and Terces Engelhart after Terces read a book about live foods (foods that have not been exposed to temperatures above 105°F. The 100% vegan restaurant, located in the Mission District, emphasizes the use of live (or raw) foods and serves dishes created from organic produce provided by local farms, including the cafe’s own farm, Be Love Farm. Diners can sample dishes like I Am Elated, an enchilada in a live spinach tortilla, and I Am Complete, a Mediterranean plate with almond hummus.
