If you're feeling a little down, underappreciated, or just need a little pick me up, check into Café Gratitude, one of Santa Cruz's newest restaurants and the place where positive affirmations come to life. This all-vegan restaurant serves abundant dishes, including some raw foods, all named empowering statements; I Am Grounded for the garlic-roasted organic potatoes topped with spicy cashew nacho cheese, I Am Giving for a tahini kale salad, and I Am Extraordinary for the BLT made with sautéed maple coconut bacon, sliced tomato, and avocado. Come in for breakfast if you feel like starting your day by saying, "I Am Bright-Eyed" or stop by for a refreshing and rejuvenating smooth or elixir such as I Am Succulent, a blend of grapefruit, celery, apple, and mint.
