The Bahn Mi was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever eaten! (I’m not a vegan) Love the new layout and decor, especially the tiling details by the entrance (no spoilers, check it out!). Thank you for a great meal!

OBSESSED with this gem of a restaurant! We have been regulars at Good Karma for over two years now and the Philly cheese steak still blows our minds every visit. Besides, the cheese steak, the nachos are a must-try app and the love bowl is a pb lover’s dream. I don’t know how they make their sauce but we are addicted. 10/10 :D.

Good Karma is delicious! I can’t say enough good things about this spot. I’ve tried many menu items over the years and have never had a bad meal. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the satay. The portions are generous and the food is so fresh. Great location and awesome people.

This place is absolutely amazing. I’ve recently started going on my lunch break, and everything I’ve tried is impeccable. The staff is kind and helpful, and everything I’ve tried has been delicious. My recommendations are the kimchi bowl and earth burger. Edit to review: I am a regular customer that orders the same thing everyday, but their special looked great (Cuban sandwich). I almost ordered it, but my indecisiveness got the best of me so I ordered my usual. I went to pick up my order, and they made me both sandwiches so that I could try something new. Both sandwiches were delicious, and I appreciate that they went above and beyond for me! Their staff deserves a raise, and I have yet to be disappointed

I came in for a pick up order yesterday, after many years of not being in the area. I was very glad to see my favorite item (the seitan chimichuri sticks) were still on the menu. The entire staff was so warm and friendly, making the experience extremely positive. After checking out, I decided to also grab a lemon and lavender cupcake, which was fantastic. The only way I can describe the chimichuri sticks is “heavenly”. They were just as I had remembered, if not even better. I can’t wait to return again soon!!!

Let’s start with the positives. This cafe has a menu filled with so many items that are absolutely awesome! Rich flavors, fresh ingredients, and great food design to say the least. The portions are terrific and well worth the price, the workers are attentive and very friendly. The cafe has a cozy and modern design, with plenty of indoor seating. We ordered multiple items and they all were so so so good! We got everything from the Live nachos (super refreshing and filling), Baked Tofu Strips (awesome with dip), the Gado Gado Salad, Grilled Portabello Sandwich, Philly Seitan Cheesesteak (the real deal, no animals needed!!!), Southwestern Seitan Bowl (super flavorful comfort food), and the weekend special “Cheesy Seitan and Potato Enchiladas” (still salivating thinking about this one ) Thank you Good Karma Cafe for demonstrating a professional restaurant with a team who delivers exceptional food in both service and taste, this vegan cafe absolutely SLAPS the competition! You can trust we will be back!!!

Went for Valentine’s Day and had the most amazing meal. The place is small but cozy and the staff is kind and hard working. Really had the most delicious meal in a very long time. Can’t wait to come back and try more!
