VEGAN Coffee come with Oat milk as standard, no up charge!!! Tasty chocolate chip cookies and Midnight cowboy cookies Autumn gives great service Free water in cute little cups I recommend!
Don't be scared that it's vegan - Genuinely the best cone of ice cream in town!! I myself am not vegan, but I think that the flavors and quality of ingredients are top notch I am lactose intolerant and usually tough it out to have my favorite desserts, but I am genuinely thankful this place has my sweet tooth's back! Their sandwiches are also quite tasty
My husband and I visited Karma Cream after a few years of passing by it on the way to work. Friendly, efficient staff. Order was correct and made well. Place was clean with about 60% of the seats occupied. Pretty busy around 5pm on a Wednesday, but thankfully, the line was short, so service time was still good. We received our drinks in about 10 minutes from when we entered the door. We ordered 2 iced matcha lattes and a cowboy cookie sandwich as well as some bottled drinks (kombucha and rose lemonade). The lattes and cookie tasted great! Saved the bottled drinks for the weekend. We spent about 20 with tip. We'll be back again to try the sandwiches and vegan ice cream Parking note: we walked from our workplace since there is only street parking, and most (if not all of it) is metered parking in this area.
I am honestly obsessed with this cafe. First off, the vegan ice cream is without a doubt the best I've ever had (especially the chocolate peanut butter flavor). Getting the sundae special (pairing it with some toppings and a vegan cookie or brownie) just makes it that much more amazing. Their pastries in general are top-notch and honestly better than most pastries I've tried despite them being vegan. As a staunch cafe fan, I could not recommend this place highly enough. Their tea selection is also delicious!
Don't miss the opportunity to try these desserts. Great vegan and vegetarian options. Inviting cafe atmosphere. Staff is welcoming and great with answering questions and making suggestions based on what you like. Amazing espresso made with high quality coffee beans. Within 5-10min walk of most of the restaurants. Seating is a little close, but I love this place. Highly recommend if you're in Gainesville.
Best coffees and matcha in Gainesville!! Love studying here and am always surprised by the rotating and fun baked goods. Matcha Latte is smooth and earthy, oatmilk is quality (doesn't have the weird aftertaste that some do). You know its good when its delicious without sweetener. Coffee is always smooth and fresh, and they often have fun drink specials (horchata was amazing). I've also heard good things about their bagged beans from friends. A city staple!!
Tried their matcha latte and breakfast sandwich. Happy that they were delicious especially being a vegan coffee shop. I was surprised that the ingredients they used for the sandwich are all vegan too. Highly recommend and good first impression of this shop and Gainesville.
Karma Cream is a fantastic place for coffee lovers! I was here with my husband and we loved their coffee. Their bakery selection is just good, with delicious pastries, including vegan options. It's also a perfect spot to sit and work while enjoying a nice cup of coffee. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for great coffee!
