Fabulous cafe - Edit
We had a taco bowl and a smoothie bowl which were delicious — didn’t ask but the sauce with the tacos was amazing. lots of choices for drink, but the coffee we had was great. super friendly workers, air con, and a very chill vibe. Can’t recommend more.

Elaborated choices - Edit
The best thing about their menu is that the options are not basic at all. You can tell is elaborated and there is work behind it. The food is simply delicious

Yummy! - Edit
Lovely place with wonderful food. The “salmon” bagel was truly amazing. The fried “chicken” was a bit gooey, but not at all bad. The smoothies are excellent and the staff super friendly.

Vegan restaurant pretending to serve meat and cheese - Edit
The menu is written in a way that the waiter must assure you it's really vegan. Personally I prefer more creative vegan kitchen, not just trying to imitate meat and cheese. We had struggles to choose because basically it's just burgers, bowls or pasta, nothing creative. Anyway we gave it a try and ordered Snack plate (beetroot hummus, avocado dip) Mac'n'cheese pasta and gluten free Mexi burger. The starter Snack plate was good but the pasta was dry and full of smoked aroma (imitation of bacon), the burger with gluten free bread was okay but nothing special. They have very tasty smoothies.

A cool little cafe - Edit
This is a great little cafe to duck in for a coffee and a snack, or even for lunch. I came for coffee and a slice of banana bread.

Fantastic service and tasty food - Edit
Located right next to the ocean in a busy beach town. Parking can be alittle tricky but wasn’t impossible.
Read moreWe ordered the buffalo wings, chicken “seitan” sandwich and tofu sandwich.
The buffalo wings were amazing came with a spicy buffalo sauce and vegan ranch. The batter is similar to a beer batter. Super tasty starter.
The sandwiches were delicious. The tofu sandwich was battered similar to the wings and came with two nice sized slices. These are experienced vegan, the tofu was pressed and had a great texture.
My wife loved her chicken sandwich she describes it as crispy and flavorful.
We bother ordered fries that were delicious.
The service was so great. Very friendly and she suggested we eat the wings right away as to avoid them getting soggy sense we took our order to go.
We also got an iced americano that was great.
Pros: Amazing food, Lots of vegan options , Friendly service
Cons: Parking can be tricky

100% vegan restaurant - Edit
Food was okay, of 5 dishes we tried, 2 of them were delicious (Mexican burger and smoothie bowl) and 3 were a bit dry and lack of flavor (tofu sandwich, cauliflower wings and mac n cheese). But is okay if you’re looking for vegan options.

AMAZING vegan food!!! - Edit
My friends and I were staying in a hostel super close to Karma and ate there every single day we were in Jaco. Everything we tried was SO GOOD and the staff were super kind. The tofu sandwich, surfer bowl, and mexi burger were my favorites but literally everything was amazing!!! This is a must if you’re going to be anywhere close to Jaco and you want some awesome vegan food!!

Yummy comfort food + salads - Edit
Karma is 100% vegan and has some GF options. The salads are filling, including nuts, chickpeas or rice, or roasted potatoes.
Read moreTheir Mac and cheese is so comforting and a large portion, enough for left overs.
My husband has tried some of the sandwiches and loved them. They have alcohol, coffee drinks, but also healthy smoothies and a delicious and fresh ginger tea.
They also have happy hour!
It was nice seating in the terrace to watch the lively town of Jaco.
Pros: Filling salads, Coffee drinks, Happy hour

Nice vegan choice with terrace seating - Edit
Karma is a great little restaurant offering a terrace seating area located in the center of Jaco. The Surfer bowl that I had was very filling and had a lovely dressing. Prices are quite steep for what you get because 13% tax is not included in the price plus 10% tip is added as well so you end up paying 23% more than on the menu.

Great food - Edit
Delicious comfort food. The cauliflower wings are soooo good. I went there multiple times and enjoyed everything on the menu except the mac’n’cheese which was not cheesy at all in my opinion. The carbonara is similar and more flavourful. Their sauces are amazing, especially the aioli that come with the wings and the fried tofu sandwich.
Read moreFavourites:
Cauliflower wings
Buddha bowl (smoked carrot “salmon” is 10/10)
Salmon bagel
Least favourites:
Heart of palm ceviche (it’s mostly heart of palm, barely anything else)
Mac’n’cheese (not bad, but quite plain)
Pros: Delicious food, Smoothies are great, Great ambiance
Cons: Low staff so harder to feed big groups, Small dining area
