I would like to share this letter from Terces Engelhart, the owner of Cafe Gratitude which she wrote in response to my post of a few days ago... "Dear Sam, Someone brought me a print out of Grub Report today that referenced your site and a blog about your friend Enidd and her husband. I am grateful that you have a contact opportunity on your site. Thank you. I appreciate you sharing your friends experience, of course as an owner of Cafe Gratitude I wish it had gone some other way so we could have resolved their situation in the moment and not have had both a disappointed couple and an upset friend. I certainly wished we had offered...

I am disappointed, again... "We invite you to step inside and enjoy being someone who chooses; loving your life, adoring yourself, accepting the world, being generous and grateful everyday, and experiencing being provided for." Cafe Gratitude Website My friend Enidd sat at a table, alone, in Cafe Gratitude, quietly crying. She and her husband had just been violently mugged, nearby, in San Francisco's Mission District. Left with no money, no credit cards, no phones and no engagement ring, they dived into Cafe Gratitude to seek help. Whilst Enidd's husband made a call to the police on a cell phone provided by a kindly customer, Enidd sat...

I Am Full. Cafe Gratitude opened a week ago Mon...
I Am Full. Cafe Gratitude opened a week ago Monday on the miracle mile in San Rafael, and I took myself there for a refreshing lunch. The first cafe opened in San Francisco, and I've been wanting to go there since I heard of it. When I heard Cafe Gratitude was opening in Marin, I of course kept watch! First off, the menu is large, and you have to read it through as none of the labels are recognizable, except as affirmations. Yes, everything is an I AM statement. The food is raw and uses a lot of sprouted nuts and grains. A very 'earth-mother' kind of atmosphere. Nourishing! On each table there is a bottle of water at the ready...

I’m sitting here thinking aimlessly, not knowing how to express the enthusiasm I feel for one of my favorite restaurants in the Bay Area. What do I say? At this point I’m talking out loud to myself, desperately straining to connect my thoughts to the fingers on the keyboard. Okay, I sound like I’m writing a letter from a prisoner of war camp. A tinge dramatic you think? That’s what I feel about CAFE GRATITUDE!…Drama. A raw food vegan restaurant that does everything from a burger made from seeds, nuts, and spices to a vegan sausage with a kimchi sauerkraut, to pizzas and enchiladas, and oh-so-fantastically creative desserts like cheesecake, milkshakes, and a coconut cream pie that if I died right then and there, it wouldn’t be a bad way to go.

Cafe Gratitude. Grateful To Have Finally Eaten Here
Sometimes when I meet people they ask me what my "real name" is. Or they just smile in that slow easy way, knowingly commenting, "Your parents were hippies, eh?"

So it seems that everyone but everyone (in the blog world) is buzzing about quirky nouveau-hippie Café Gratitude. The restaurant's dishes, featuring all organic and even mostly live ingredients, sport self-proclamatory names, like I Am Thankful (Thai coconut soup), I Am Dazzling (Caesar salad) and even dipping into multiculti waters with Yo Soy Mucho (shredded kale with warm grains, guac, spicy salsa, Brazil nut parmesan and sprouts). You have to wonder whether, what with all these earthy-crunchy goods, their number-one seller must be I Am Delicious (almond malt smoothie) simply for what it promises.

We admit we are a bit of a loss to describe the ethos behind Cafe Gratitude. We are told that Matthew Engelhart is a millionaire who started training in the being of abundance in 1984. Yes - he is the kind of guy who made his fortune selling workshops. Twenty years down the line Matthew, who apparently keeps his attention on all there is to be grateful for, has opened an organic, vegan, raw, mostly live foods restaurant at 2400 Harrison Street, where his wife, Terces, has the auspicious title of chef 'Genius'.
