a.k.a OOOGA BOOOGA LAND
‘Where could you be more compassionate’? asks our waitress. It’s the question of the day at Café Gratitude, a vegan joint just off Melrose Avenue. My twin and I had just ordered the strawberry, basil and chia seed pressed juice called, ‘I am Cheerful’. The café is a self-described love-for-the-earth centre for personal transformation, not to mention a star-studded Hollywood fixture for all your plant-based gastronomic desires. It seems this posi-vibed place is today’s light version of The Source – the cult vegetarian restaurant that mystically graced Venice Blvd in the 1960s, owned and operated by an ex Marine/jiu-jitsu master/alleged murderer/guru named Father Yod.
