10 Questions is a series of short interviews with vegan restaurateurs. We recently spoke with Chandra Gilbert from Cafe Gratitude.
Cafe Gratitude is a vegan restaurant with locations throughout the Bay Area. They feature organic vegan food, sourced from local farmers. The menu has many, many choices to choose from, including raw items, a kid's menu, juice, organic beer and an extensive dessert list. I Am Innocent is an ice cream sundae made from nut milk ice cream, my personal favorite. We sometimes make the trip from Napa to San Rafael just for dessert!
