My opinions of Café Gratitude restaurant in San Francisco, CA (in list form)

[Guest guest]

My husband took me to Café Gratitude, in San Francisco the first one

on Harrison, for our wedding anniversary. Isn't that sweet,

especially considering he's not a raw vegan like me? I liked much of

the food. I made this list for myself so I wouldn't forget what I had

and how I liked it and I thought I'd share it with you guys. Here's

what we ordered and my opinions.

 

My husband and I had:

Bruschetta

Sampler plate with nachos, Caesar salad (a substitute), olive

tapenade, hummus, falafel (a substitute), fiery carrot avocado soup

(a substitute), buckwheat-sunflower flatbread, flax-carrot crackers,

and almond toast.

Hawaiian pizza

Soft serve ice cream sundae with brownies and chocolate syrup

Cinnamon bun

Mint chocolate shake (returned for regular chocolate shake)

Chocolate shake

 

These are my opinions in order of how I liked them:

Loved - soft serve ice cream & chocolate syrup (tasted like vanilla

bean ice cream)

Really liked - nachos (used buckwheat-sunflower flatbread with " bean "

dip instead of flax-carrot crackers)

Liked - bruschetta (almond-flax crackers)

Liked - pecans and caramel syrup (on cinnamon bun)

Liked - thick almond toast (same as almond-flax crackers)

Liked - medium thick buckwheat-sunflower flatbread (pizza crust and

sampler crackers)

Fine - Hawaiian pizza (avocadoes are not my favorite, needed more

pineapple)

Fine - Caesar salad (croutons - crumbled almond toast)

Okay - chocolate shake (too much cacao for me)

Okay - fiery carrot avocado soup (better as a dressing)

Okay - peppery avocado dressing

Okay - fig-balsamic dressing

Okay - brownies (better the next day with the chocolate syrup soaked

into them and made them moist)

Okay - cinnamon bun (better the next day after I warmed it in the

dehydrator and added, extra, my own raw caramel syrup)

So-so - hummus

So-so - thin flax-carrot crackers

So-so - falafel

Disliked - mint chocolate shake (I guess real mint is too much for

me, it tasted like rye bread to both of us, weird huh?)

Disliked - citrus-garlic house dressing

Disliked - coconut-lime vinaigrette dressing (I'm not much into

coconut)

Hated - olive tapenade (I don't like olives so it's no wonder)
