Very Tasty All-Vegan Food

Sorry, forgot to take photos of our food, trust me, it was delicious!

My GF got the Caribbean Vegetable with coconut & rice — “Very good”
We shared the Karma Combo salad — excellent! With light tahini, big sprouts, etc. plenty for 2. She got the Tempeh Reuben — looked yummy — and she confirmed as much.

I got the Deli Plate, with Blackened Tofu, Grain mix (Brown Rice, Wild Rice & Quinoa) & Mixed Veggie Slaw. All was really good, but the slaw was outstanding — with ‘secret’ ingredient: dill. Well done!

Only negative is that there’s no bathroom!

Will definitely be back.

Pros: Great food, Helpful & friendly staff

Cons: No bathroom

What a fun place!

Great food that really hit the spot for us. Sandwiches with side salads and a smoothie was delicious

Pros: Baked tofu sandwich, Customization of the smoothie base

Cons: No public bathroom- I used the one in the gas stat, Paper plates, but no compost bin, just trash

Great eats, even better people

Great spot for healthy vegan food. Staff was so kind to let us dine in on the patio though they were closing and let us finish up while they cleaned up. Intentionally affordable options on the menu.

Pros: Healthy, whole food options, Outdoor dining, Affordable

Amazing soup and great sandwich

I got a truly delicious soup (potato and rice with great seasonings) and an avocado explosion sandwich with seitan bacon added, all really flavorful. Lots of great menu options.

Pros: freshness, flavor, options

Avoid the smoothies

Got a small smoothie and muffin for $17, wild. The smoothie didn’t taste good, super thin, then a bunch of fruit chunks at the bottom. The muffin flavor was good but very dense and part wasn’t baked all the way.

Good BLT

I had a nicely packed BLT. It was quite good. The place was quaint with seating indoor and outdoor. It was right across the street from a walking trail. I could see spending some hiking and then winding up at Karma for a bite.

Cute Vegan Cafe

The vegan blt is delicious - highly recommend! Unfortunately we didn’t like the baked tofu and pesto sandwich. Thankfully the chocolate chip PB & J cookie made up for it.

Amazing food, cool staff

My partner and I came in on a trip to the area for an arts fair and stopped here for breakfast. The place was super busy, but the crew burned through the line and the others way faster than I might expect for such a small place. The food was outstanding and nicely zippy. When I'm back in the area, I'll definitely come back.

Pros: Food, Staff, Speed

Simple and Perfect

The food is filling and nourishing. There are no wild flavor combinations but everything tastes good and feels good to eat. I would especially recommend the peanut butter and jelly cookie and the tempeh bacon.

Pros: all vegan, good vibes

One of my first vegan cafés ever

Disclaimer: I haven't been in many years. This is one of the first cafés I ever went to as a vegan, and it has a special place in my heart. Loved their TLT, and I remember they made a smoothie with chocolate rice milk that really made an impression 🤤 Really cute, friendly vibe and I look forward to going back!

Update 2023: Karma Road catered our very small wedding, and it was such a hit. Perfect. We have also returned many times in the past year and it's always amazing.

Delicious!

We came for the weekend. This place came highly recommended. The Karmacado was fantastic and my partner had the pb&j cookie and he said it was perfect. There were so many options that looked great. The staff was also friendly. I will be back for more!

Yummy all-vegan fare

Stopped for lunch while traveling. Good selection of wraps, sandwiches, soups, smoothies, bowls, and baked goods. Fun, funky atmosphere with cute farm animal photos on the tables and a meat grinder repurposed as a planter. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating right by the bike trail. Great vibes and food!

Menu is hard to interpret

They offer VGF options but it's super hard to figure out what's gf. Especially if you're trying to order online. I never find the staff overly friendly or seemingly interested in helping me.

I've had a few burritos and sandwiches but wasn't really blown away by any of them.

Great spot in a pinch.

Amazing!

This was the first vegan restaurant my husband and I went to and we were so overjoyed with how great everything was. I got the baked tofu sandwich and my husband got a burrito. Both were incredibly delicious. We also got some roasted Brussels sprouts and sweet potato biscuits to take home. They were equally delicious!
