Delicious, beautiful, and wholesome - Edit
We came here to grab some breakfast and do a little bit of work. We loved this place. The food is not only absolutely delicious, but it’s also beautiful and colorful. They have three pages of menus that showcase the drink options and food options available. I got the avocado toast and it was gorgeous. My boyfriend got the jackfruit tacos which he really enjoyed. He got a mocha and I got an herbal tea both are delicious cute and tasty. We also got the Lilith smoothie—- sooo good.
Read moreAnd we did a couple hours of work in the backyard patio which had Wi-Fi and three picnic tables for people to space out and enjoy their food. I definitely would return to try more of the tasty things on their menu. I highly recommend this place!
Pros: Wonderful menu, Wholesome and delicious food options, Environmentally mindful takeout packaging

Best iced mochas ever! - Edit
So rare for me to be able to order an iced mocha without dairy BUT in this place, I can. Ask for an Iced ArchAngel and you can thank me later. One time we were lucky enough to grab a few samosas that were offered near the register and it was soooo good when we popped them into the air fryer at home. Pre-Covid, we purchased their signature glass jars for our iced coffees so we can reuse them here when we visit (to cut down on waste!) and I love their forward-thinking for our planet and our descendants.
Read morePros: Ambiance is cozily spiritually connecting. , Best iced mochas ever , Cool little herb garden to admire
Cons: Parking can be problematic

Flavorful Oasis - Edit
I’ve been here each time I’ve come to New Orleans. The food is fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and unique. I’ve had the Fire Burger and Curry. Both were delicious! It’s a restaurant you don’t want to miss.

Gorgeous food, chilled atmosphere - Edit
The food is delicious! We went for the sharing platter which was a brilliant choice as 1. We got to try lots of the dishes from the menu and 2. It filled both of us! Despite being full we had to buy cake to take away as it looked so tasty.
Read moreThe staff were very helpful in suggesting alternatives when the coffee we wanted was unavailable and their choice of music made the whole experience even better for me (T-Rex, The Kinks, etc)
As you'd expect from a yoga retreat, the atmosphere here is really chilled and we left feeling relaxed and very, very happy
Pros: Easy to get to via streetcar, Reasonably priced, Very welcoming

Good food, good vibes - Edit
The restaurant is a cute little place with a great spiritual vibe, the food is awesome and not too expensive, I had the curry which was delicious, as well as the chai tea. We also tried their cakes, they were semi-sweet and very juicy! Awesome place where I could’ve spent my whole day, lots of options since everything is vegan.

Great vegan & spiritual sanctuary in NOLA - Edit
Calm, peaceful atmosphere lends to the wonderful smiles & delightful energy of their staff and fabulous food... Menu is well-focused with healthy, Indian-influenced goodness. I had the Good Karma Plata with special vegetable & soup... Complimented by the Herb Lover juice. An exciting find in Louisiana where good vegan food and loving yoga environment & consciousness are rare - Much gratitude & thanks to Good Karma Cafe!

All Vegan High Vibes - Edit
I became a daily visitor to the Good Karla Cafe a few years ago when I had this brief time for lunch and wanted healthy, vegan options with lots of flavor. Their daily menu is different every day, a different veggie dish, a different soup. The owners are some of the most loving people, dedicated to living their life with utmost dedication and integrity. There are smoothies (ask for no agave, it’s in almost all, not listed). The burger is great. The people are sincere. A hidden oasis in New Orleans.

Fantastic Vegan Food - Edit
So whilst I was in California I had people telling me that as a vegan when I got to New Orleans I would need to eat grass... how wrong they were... I found some great vegan cafes, this being one of them :-) the food was delicious, the chai tea heartwarming and super friendly staff :-) I totally recommend this place for delicious, wholesome vegan food...plenty of choices too :-) top marks

I've been twice, the second time was less impressive than the first. The tofu wrap was pretty bland. The smoothie I had on my first visit was great though. Friendly people super hippie spot.

Chill spot for simply good food - Edit
Very casual space, small menu with nice variety of bowls, salads, soups and smoothies. Ample portions, reasonably priced and delicious. Had the lentil soup and fire burger wrap. Soup perfect, wrap almost too spicy for me, but I tend to order mild/medium and this was on the hot side for me. But still delish with almond cream and mango salsa.

Definitely go!!! - Edit
All plant based food. When here I stay at a hotel near the Superdome and it was an easy walk 1.5 mile walk during the day. My first time here and I got the Everything plate. Couldn't eat it all but it was worth it. Perfect to share. Juices are also good. The Upma is delicious.
