Philosophy
Cafe Gratitude is managed by incorporating the principles of Sacred Commerce, outlined in a book of the same name by Matthew and Terces Engelhart. Sacred Commerce integrates the intention and philosophy of dharma - right actions, right intentions, right speech - as a way of being connected to spirit.
Cafe Gratitude Controversy
Terces and Matthew Engelhart received a heated back-lash after the vegan community learned that they chose to raise and slaughter cattle on their private farm. The Engelharts themselves declined an interview request, but Terces Engelhart's son and Cafe Gratitude's chief operating officer said the feud against Cafe Gratitude has unfairly cast his mother and stepfather as deceptive animal killers.
