Cafe Gratitude is a chain of raw vegan restaurants that has closed its two San Francisco locations, although a spinoff (Gracias Madre) is still in town. Its dishes and drinks, all produced and served below cooking temperatures, had morale-boosting names such as "I Am Thrilled" (cinnamon bun), "I Am Sensational" (pesto pizza) and "I Am Dazzling" (Caesar salad). You had to order them with their menu-listed names! They had a question of the day that they ask your table (e.g. "What do you love most about the person to your left?")

The restaurant sometimes hosted workshops and other events.
