Crema's Take

Gratitude Cafe Bakery is a corner gem run by a genuinely caring baker who greets regulars by name and takes real time to understand what customers need—whether that's vegan options or the perfect pastry pairing. The cases overflow with house-baked treasures like savory pastries, cinnamon rolls, and scones that taste as thoughtful as the owner's approach, creating the kind of neighborhood spot where you feel personally welcomed every single visit.

First off the women working at Gratitude was the most welcoming human ever. There were two people ahead of me and one person behind me and I think she greeted all of them by name omg. I asked out loud for recommendations for a first timer and the other customers steered me towards the coffee cake and the apple galette. Apple galette is quite nice. Variety of textures with the crispy crust/shell and then the softer cooked apples in the inside. Great if you want an apple tasting treat without an overwhelming "apple spice" flavor. Not overloaded with sugar either. Coffee cake is a lot sweeter, more of the standard sugar rush dessert with coffee flavor. The texture though is fantastic. Brown and crisp in the top and sides but super moist all the rest of the way through. (Picture taken after I got home)

The sweetest little vegan-friendly bakery with the kindest owner! The owner actually asked if I was vegan when I asked what she had on the menu for vegans, and when I said yes, she was incredibly kind and thoughtful about it. She even told me that if I ever craved something specific, I could email her and she’d try to add it to the weekly menu—how amazing is that? These days, being vegan can sometimes come with judgment or weird looks, but not here. She made me feel totally welcome and respected. I’ll definitely be coming back often for her heavenly pastries and that warm, inclusive vibe. I wish she was open more often💚

I recently ordered some brownies and bars from Gratitude Cafe and Bakery to be delivered. The treats were amazing and the service from beginning to end was next level. And to top it off the owner, Kat, is one of the nicest people you'll ever run into. Absolutely a great experience! 5 stars are not enough.

The best bakery in all the land. My mom and I especially love the savory pastries and soups, but almost every other item we've tried has been delicious, too. Five stars for top-notch baked goods, and another five stars for the loveliest baker and owner, Kat. 💖

One the most caring, thoughtful, and talented bakers owns this little gem on the corner. Her case of goodies is full of tasty treats including scones, cakes, cinnamon rolls, tarts, cookies, brownies, etc. If you're lucky enough to join in on one the live music nights, you can also choose from the daily vegetarian specials on her board....last night was lasagna with greens for me and lentil soup with the best focaccia bread for my hubby. Don't hesitate to order the pie ala mode...it is AWESOME! Wines and other alcoholic beverages are available along with sodas, teas and coffee. We always feel so welcome and appreciate the hospitality we enjoy here.
