A previous reviewer suggested that Gratitude Cafe had a hippie feel. I would say it is more of a yuppie modern feel. Not earthy, which is what veggie/vegan restaurants often are and is what I prefer, however I do recognize that many others prefer a modern clean feel .
The vegan chili with cheese (my choice) I had was thick and filling and tasty. I only wanted stop by for a tea and read, but I felt pressured to order food. Lucky it was in fact dinner time.
When I visited Gratitude Cafe it had just opened. I would return, but it wouldn't be my first choice of Kensington restaurants.
