Devotees of organic and vegan cuisine will have a new temple at which to worship starting tomorrow, when the long-awaited San Francisco export Café Gratitude opens up its doors on Larchmont to welcome conscious eaters into their fold.
Café Gratitude's NorCal owners Matthew and Terces Engelhart have teamed up with Christopher and Lisa Bonbright to set up shop at Larchmont and Melrose to turn locals on to their lauded foodstuffs. On the menu will be cooked and raw dishes made using seasonal SoCal-sourced produce. It's not just food, though, that fills your being at CG, they're going to bring the "food for thought" stuff, too, with "a menu voiced in affirmations, the iconic 'question of the day,' and a stellar line up of tried and true entrees, appetizers, and desserts." (Be warned, though--our friends at SFist felt a little strange loving their food but being subjected to some pretty strange restaurant rituals.)
Among their loyalists at the SF location are some celebs, who are already spreading the gospel via the internet.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
