Karma Cafe
1901 Hayes St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked in NOPA, Karma Cafe strikes a lovely balance between quick coffee stops and lingering afternoons, serving creative specialty drinks like their standout vanilla lavender latte alongside solid traditional brews, all at prices that won't break the bank. The space has an appealingly quirky, hippy-adjacent vibe with immaculate decor, and their simple but thoughtful food menu—from blueberry scones to breakfast tacos and avocado toast—pairs perfectly with their exceptional chai and smoothies. Whether you're after a five-minute grab or planning to settle in for a meeting, this little spot delivers both charm and genuinely good coffee that keeps regulars coming back.”

One of my regular cafes. It's located in a great area, the decoration is always immaculate, and their specialty drinks are great (as well as affordable!).
Have you heard of the new restaurant? It's called karma. There's no menu. You just get what you deserve. CITY BOYYYYY THATS WHY HE'S THE GOAT! THE GOAT! Him, him, her, her BODIES BODIES It's a cruel world Lil Wayne ahahahaha😈
This little cafe in NOPA is adorable! They have breakfast items (bagels, breakfast taco, avocado toast, fresh smoothies, coffee of all kinds) and lunch items too. Food is relatively simple but tasty. The pepper jack cheese is on the spicier side. Portions are decent. Staff is very friendly and there are a lot of regular customers who seem to come by on foot on a regular basis. But honestly the seasonal decorations are worth a visit - especially Halloween & Christmas!!! Every nook and cranny is filled with intricate dioramas and moving parts.
A big big fan of this place. It is a little bit unusual with a hippy vibe, the food and coffee are great! A few vegan options too! My chai was fantastic, no usual excessive sugar you may get at other cafes, instead it had a herbal flavour and was rich and gingery. Vegan banana bread and a vegan vege wrap! What a great find for a vegan. Service was polite, friendly and speedy. Bathroom and water available at ease. Lots of puppy snacks for free too for the customers which is nice. And while you are waiting for your food there are board games and little nick-nacks to look at around the place. Parking is limited, although mostly free on the street. A great spot for a lunch break. Recommend!
Just needed a quick breakfast, got a blueberry scone and a vanilla lavender latte. The latte didn’t end up being my thing but it was made very well. The scone tasted incredible and may have Been the best I’ve had. The vibes in here were also amazing!
