About

Café Gratitude is a collection of plant-based restaurants specializing in gourmet cuisines. We strive to create a menu and environment that supports health and sustainability for both our community and the planet. We practice business through a term we call “Sacred Commerce”, where we provide inspired service, honest and transparent communication, and express gratitude for the richness of our lives.

Our Mission

Café Gratitude is our expression of a world of plenty. Our food and people are a celebration of our aliveness. We select the finest organic ingredients to honor the earth and ourselves, as we are one and the same. We support local farmers, sustainable agriculture and environmentally friendly products. Our food is prepared with love. We invite you to step inside and enjoy being someone that chooses: loving your life, adoring yourself, accepting the world, being generous and grateful every day, and experiencing being provided for. Have fun and enjoy being nourished. Welcome to Café Gratitude!

SEIZAN DREUX ELLIS - EXECUTIVE CHEF

After working in fine dining restaurants in both Boston and San Francisco, Seizan Dreux Ellis spent 8 years in Venice, Italy where he undertook a traditional European apprenticeship path, working in a number of five star hotels and training under two Michelen-starred chefs. He was the founding chef of Le Spighe, the first vegetarian gastronomy restaurant in Venice, which enjoyed great success working with the Venice Biennale and the International Film Festival. Seizan returned to San Francisco in 2008 to deepen his exploration of plant-based cuisine, managing the Central Kitchen for Cafe Gratitude. In April 2012, Seizan came to Venice, California as Executive Chef of Cafe Gratitude in Southern California bringing his health-based, flavor driven cuisine to a wider audience.

    A CLEANSE PROGRAM BY CAFÉ GRATITUDE

     

    Eating clean is easy.
    To cleanse does not mean to diet. It means to detox, refine, and rejuvenate. However, the word “cleanse” has become intimidating and scary, because it now associates its meaning with deprivation and restriction.

  • With this misinterpretation in mind, we chose to develop our cleanse concept based on this simple truth: Eating clean is easy and furthermore, is a tangible and enjoyable lifestyle that promotes one’s vitality, health and well-being. It restores both the mind and body not only through what we consume, but through love, acceptance, gratitude, worth, creation, abundance and generosity.

  • Meal Plan

    1 day: $60
    3 days: $180
    5 days: $300

  • Clean eating made easy. A daily menu of food and beverage for those who want to refresh their eating habits, try a plant-based diet or detox and rejuvenate for the season. Our juices and tree nut milks are cold-pressed in-house & never high-pressure pasteurized.
