If you RSVP, please show up.

Café Gratitude is a restaurant which originated in California. A group of local people pulled together and created one opening here in Kansas City in May of 2012. One of our few area plant based restaurants, they use local and organic foods, they also serve a blend of health conscious raw and cooked dishes.

For this event we plan on meeting upstairs in their event room.

They take a somewhat alternative approach, some might say “hippie” approach, which will become apparent when you read their menu. They serve a variety of Starters, Salads, Grain Bowls, Main Dishes, Sandwiches, Breakfast/Brunch Items, Teas, Coffee, Fresh Juices and Smoothies, and desserts (such as their rich coconut / cashew cream based cheesecakes!) They have a wide variety of dishes, with different types of appeal. Items like…
