Karma Cream
607 W University Ave, Gainesville, FL
Crema's Take
“Karma Cream is a beloved Gainesville gathering spot that's equally famous for their ceremonial matcha and seriously good vegan ice cream as it gets for traditional coffee drinks served in real glassware. The place buzzes with the energy of friends meeting up after trail walks and families claiming tables over leisurely breakfasts, with an impressive spread of vegan pastries and light bites that make everyone feel welcome. It's the kind of place where seating fills up because people actually want to linger—especially if you're hunting for the best ice cream in town or craving a matcha that hits different.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Decent spot with room for improvement. Karma Cream is an okay place overall, and I can see why people like it. The location is great -- easy to get to, walkable, and the inside is a pleasant spot to sit, get some work done, or meet up with friends. The vibe is a strong point. …
Came in on Friday 12th for an iced coffee and a naughty treat. The iced lattes came in a glass which was really nice! Love that you have lots of vegan options 💚 which made it a great experience for us! The woman working making drinks was miserable, she didn’t acknowledge us…
