Review - Café Gratitude...PICTURES!

[kaleidoscopeeyes]

Sorry it took so long!

I went to Berkeley over spring break, and spent nearly my entire time there at Café Gratitude. The food defied description - everything tasted amazingly fresh, even the dehydrated stuff, and the atmosphere/energy was fantastic.

Here are some pictures (in no particular order) I took a lot more, but some didn't come out very well. Enjoy!

Their amazing inspirational posters. This one was my favourite.

The fantastic enchilada. They have a different filling every day, and luckily for me today's wasn't spicy.

Hazelnut chocolate cake. The cream was the best part - the nut flour cake part was a bit too heavy for me.

The exterior of the Berkeley location. I also visited one of the ones in San Francisco. Both were beautiful, but in different ways. The Berkeley one was much more like an underground haven, perfect for dinner, whereas the SanFran one was beautiful and airy and open, perfect for breakfast or lunch.

Wow! Your pictures are fanastic. I have only been to the original San Fran location - I would love to go to the Berkeley one.

I had a strawberry cream pie of the day last time I was there and it was great!

I love the cheese and cracker plate. I just got the recipe book and I am working on making the peperjack cheese and almond toast. :)
