★★★★☆ 4.0 Jim Nabholz · Dec 2025

A very cute coffee shop that is just as much about the books! The whole front of the shop is a bookstore, a wide variety of subjects and titles! Many people milling about and browsing! Extensive coffee list, felt like more of a coffee place than its sister shop. The place was packed with tourists and locals, clearly one of the “in” places these days! We had already had coffee and lunch, so we didn’t partake of any F or B, but this is a fun and vibrant place. Highly recommend!

Karma Coffee and Books is one of those rare places that feels like home the moment you walk in. From the cozy ambiance to the warm, welcoming smiles behind the counter, it’s clear this is more than just a coffee shop—it’s a space built with intention and heart. The coffee? Absolutely phenomenal. Whether you’re a cold brew fanatic or a latte lover, they’ve mastered the art of the perfect pour. I had their signature Karma latte with a hint of lavender and honey, and it was divine. Smooth, balanced, and crafted with care. You can tell they source high-quality beans, and they treat each cup like a small ritual. But what makes this place truly special is the atmosphere. Think comfy chairs, shelves of thoughtfully curated books, gentle background music, and a vibe that invites you to slow down

Breve was delicious and matcha was good but might have been too sweet. Breakfast croissant was a bit interesting since the egg was mixed in with a lot of pepper.. luckily I don’t mind pepper but by the end of it it was all I tasted and was very overwhelming. Not sure if that is on purpose or if it was a mistake that they didn’t want to fix. It was good nonetheless but next time I would send it back or ask for no pepper from the beginning.

I have yet to try any of their food because I usually stop by for my coffee before work. The staff is always amazing and attentive! They know my usual order and my name, so it feels great to be noted! Thank you very much!♡

The place is great. I gave it 4 stars in service, just because they tqke a whike to prepare the drinks, but it still a nice spot to get coffee and a book.
