Then, following a lawsuit and scandal in 2011 surrounding the operation's illegal tip-pooling practice something the Engelharts considered part of their "Sacred Commerce," about which they penned an entire book they announced they would have to close all their northern California locations, though they later revised that and left the Berkeley and Santa Cruz locations intact. That restaurant gave way to two more in L.A., one in San Diego, and the Kansas City location. being ravenous for all things raw and vegan, regardless of silly menu names.
The restaurant went on to open locations in Oakland, Healdsburg, Cupertino, and Santa Cruz, and then the Engelharts' grown kids went on to open a location in Los Angeles a few years ago to instant crowds L.A. Owners Matthew and Terces Engelhart (Terces is "secret" backwards, by the way) tell Berkeleyside that they'll be depriving Berkeleyites of their I Am Fulfilled salads in order to focus more on farming (they own Be Love Farm in Vacaville), as well as the half dozen other restaurants they now have in Southern California and Kansas City.Ĭafe Gratitude first opened its doors in the Mission in 2004, at Harrison and 20th, and quickly expanded to Berkeley's Shattuck Avenue the following year. Given that our teens can now be trusted not to throw rice on the floor, I turned to our parent community to find out where they are going in Santa Cruz County right now.After years of simultaneously serving organic vegan dinners and allegedly indoctrinating staff into a creepy cult, Cafe Gratitude is closing its Berkeley location marking a final exit from the Bay Area where they once had five locations though spinoff Mexican-vegan spot Gracias Madre remains. Any place with a nice fish tank was a bonus, too.īut that was years ago. Back then, Capitola had a train-themed deli, which was a big hit. In Asian restaurants, we loved restaurants that had quick service and were forgiving of rice being thrown on the floor, such as Panda Inn in Aptos or Real Thai on Seabright. When our kids were younger, we sought out places that had outdoor seating and casual atmospheres. My daughter is usually content with that!” “Side of steamed veggies, side mashed potatoes or pasta, side of avocado, side grilled chicken or whatever- and you’re set. “I’ve always found that even if there isn’t a kids’ menu, or if there is a lame one, just order sides!” points out Tamara Dow. You can’t necessarily judge by the kids’ menu.
One former beloved local institution, when we visited, claimed that their high chair was “broken.” It turned out that their high chair was always “broken”! One rather fancy Italian restaurant doted on our older child when he was a messy toddler and always had a clean chair for him. In my years of taking kids to restaurants, I found that it was hard to predict which ones would be welcoming.
