Café Gratitude Downtown (CLOSED)

Café Gratitude's Downtown location brings its "ordering through affirmation" ethos to the center of LA, where you may have to declare, "I Am Thriving," to have the soup of the day. It's true: When the server takes your order, they will ask you, “What are you grateful for today?" and you will feel compelled to answer. Embrace it, because the bright, perfectly composed food will have you coming back. If you’re feeling especially in tune with the world, you can order the I Am Grateful, the simple but delicious "community bowl" of kale, quinoa, black beans and garlic-tahini sauce.
