Going to Cafe Gratitude is kind of like going to a good therapy session, but with tasty food. Also: cheaper.
The cafe founders also designed a board game, and the cards (and sometimes the board) are on your table for you to play with while you wait for your food. You can break through your money issues or discover things about your friend's self-image and have an awesome and totally healthy meal to boot. I always learn something about nutrition here.
Great things: the service is really happy and enthusiastic and helpful, the food is tasty, and because it's as nutritionally rich as food can get (as opposed, say, to sauce made from conventionally-grown tomatoes that has barely any iron because the soil it's grown in has become so depleted and then it was boiled for hours to get rid of the rest) it takes a whole lot less of it for me to feel full. Hooray!
