Amazing chai and some GF baked items - Edit
Best chai I’ve ever had. Decent selection of GF baked goods. Only one GF option for lunch which I didn’t try but looks pretty good. I would give this place 5 stars if they were completely vegan. They have dairy free ice cream and all vegan food but sell cow milk for drinks. Doesn’t make any sense to me. It would also be great if they had GF bread substitute for the sandwiches.

Organic ingredients - Edit
Everything we had was delicious. You have to love a fully vegan menu and organic ingredients. It's refreshing to go to a vegan restaurant that doesn't use the impossible or beyond garbage.

Horrible customer service - Edit
My sister and I got there at several minutes before 1:00pm. We had hurried in specifically for breakfast sandwiches. They took my sister's order for a breakfast sandwich and an extra sandwich for her boyfriend "to-go", my sister also chose a few danish. Next I ordered a breakfast sandwich and I was told "Sorry, we are not going to be making any more of those, it just turned 1:00pm". I was stunned, I said"We are here together". She refused me a breakfast sandwich and I was so shocked I just couldn't believe her !!? The guy who was going to be making the sandwiches was JUST getting the muffins out for her two sandwiches. I really felt horrible about the way she made me feel. I went outside to sit and wait for my sister to get hers, I was shaking and felt like crying. I don't see how it could have been a big deal for the guy to make one more for me...!?? After I sat there stunned, I dug my phone out of my purse and it was just 1:01pm!!! I mean way to RUIN a customer's day and outing!! HORRIBLE feeling, glad I didn't really tell her off. Kept my mouth shut and left, But now, I have to let people know.

Tasty Vegan Ice Cream 😍 - Edit
There’s a lot here and it was hard to choose what to try. The vegan ice cream is amazing. Tried the pumpkin pie flavor and Chocolate walnut. The pumpkin pie flavor was so good 😍. Definitely recommend. The chocolate walnut flavor was great too. Definitely would go back and try something else. I was going to order coffee but their proportions were small for so much money 😭 so went to another cafe. But otherwise, I def want to go back and try a sandwich from here. But definitely recommend the ice cream.
Read morePros: Sweet & Tasty, Perfect texture, Not too expensive

BANGIN’ - Edit
Honestly this was the perfect treat on such a hot day! I loved the strawberry flavor. My partner got vanilla but I didn’t get a picture of that. There were a few seats outside on the sidewalk. We went in January 2023 but I’m just reviewing now! This was a road trip stop for us. Next time I’m in this area, I’m coming back!!!

Best Vegan Café in town - Edit
When I go to Karma cream in the morning, I have to get the Pestrami Sandwich with a latte. It hits the spot every time and its truly my favorite. I will be that person, getting the same sandwich all the time. I feel great afterwards because you can taste the fresh ingredients and its always prepared by the best people. They know their craft
Read morePros: Fresh ingredients, Always switch up their pastry options, Quality is always on point

Get the breakfast sandwich - Edit
Do it. It's amazing.
Read moreI've tried the breakfast sandwich, 4 of their ice creams, and a curry chickpea wrap. Everything tastes good every time. You will dream about the breakfast sandwich for weeks afterwards.
They also have a stamp card so you can get a free drink or ice cream after 10 drinks/ice creams. I'm not much for coffee but I've already filled out a card just from stopping by for ice cream cones. The brand they use for ice cream is really good, in the top 2 brands of non dairy ice cream I've tried.

Really stepped up their game! - Edit
They've grown into an incredible vegan oasis since they first opened. Their Reuben kills it, and their food specials are always awesome. What really shines here is their creative and spectacular baked goods. They change them up every day, and everything I've ever tried has been spot on!

Cant go wrong. Amazing - Edit
Top notch. All-round amazing.
Read moreOnly complaint is the fact that they make way too few of the good sweets like cakes and way too much of the garbage sweets(or no one buys those so they stay). So unless you get there within like two hours of the good stuff being baked, all you're gonna find are choc chip cookies, brownies and that kind of truly horrible sweets i dont know why anyone chooses to make or eat instead of say a a jam filled croissant, a babka, an upside down cake, cinnamon roll..... So make more of that stuff, and keep it out until actual closing time, please!

Must try ice cream and sandwiches - Edit
Loved the vegan sandwiches and ice cream! We tried the Reuben, Pestrami, and the Club Sandwich. I haven't had a Reuben in so long, and was quite pleased! The vegan ice cream is amazing - so many flavors - get triple scoops so you can try them all! Can't wait to go back and try their bakery items.
