The coffee was strong and good, so I assume it was the real thing and not some caffeine-free chickory alternative. I was sitting back, enjoying the java when our server returned and asked, expectantly, if we were ready to answer the question of the day. I had forgotten it.

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate that Café Gratitude wants to change the world. And I'll be back — but just to eat.
