Café Gratitude takes the whole organic plant-based (aka vegan) concept to the next level. The brand new space located on the ground floor of the One Sante Fe complex is bathed in natural light, crisp white painted wood and marble counters. The whole thing just feels so clean and fresh. And then there’s the matter of the distractingly attractive staff. Executive Dreux Ellis has spent a major portion of his career exploring and refining vegan cuisine. Café Gratitude has a devoted following and it’s not hard to figure out why. The dishes are attractive, well portioned, flavorful and good for you. No less than 21 sides are available, allowing you some creative input. Happily Gratitude also embrace the power of the grape and grains and offers a curated selection of beer and wine to complement your meal. Pressed juices, smoothies and shakes round out the offerings. Both indoor and patio seating is available. And there is also that rarest of Art District offerings—parking!
