What does a Dessert Darling eat the day before her wedding? Why, a healthy milkshake, of course! Thankfully there was a Cafe Gratitude in the adorable town of Healdsburg where I could take all of my bridesmaids for a special, pre-wedding lunch. While the girls ordered fabulous, savory dishes, I happily settled for this Chocolate Mint Milkshake that I could justify thanks to the Vitamineral Green that they sneak in there. The shake was incredibly yummy and I think I’ve officially become obsessed with Cafe Gratitude!

Hi Jennifer,
I wanted to congratulate you on your wedding! I found out through the Bodega Bay lodge grapevine that you were getting married, and then sent Greg an email, asking him to send my best wishes to you – I hope he did. I tried to find you on facebook, but I guess you are not there.
I also want to tell you that I too love Cafe Gratitude, and I’m so glad that you discovered it. Not only do they serve amazing food, but the owners, Terces and Matthew Englehart, are truly exceptional people changing the way business is run. Their book, Sacred Commerce, is worth reading. I have been eating largely raw foods for the last 5 years, and it has been transformational. Thanks for promoting it on your site, more people need to know about this place, and they also have restaurants in San Francisco, Berkeley and San Rafael.
Lastly, I wanted to let you know that I am moving to Hawaii at the end of October, and if you ever visit the Big Island, I hope you will send me an email and let me know you are coming. I owe you a wedding present massage session!
I wish you and your husband the very best of everything, and I’m very happy for you!
blessings,
Ray
