    Karma is a cool spot for food, drinks, and vibes. It's an interesting place to walk into the first time - lots to look at. I got a latte and panini - both decent picks. I'd be interested in coming back.

    this cafe has such an interesting vibe! lots of astrological/ witchcore decor and elements, and their menu is huge (even the monthly specials). I went with the coconut hazelnut latte with oat milk ($7.32 post-tax) and it was pretty good. not a huge fan of acidic coffees and this one was, but the syrup balanced it out. not much coconut taste though

    First timer here. Two reasons for me to be here. Avocado Toast & a trip down hippie lane. (Two types of trips you could probably have if you stare into the twinkling faerie lights too long). Some would call this place dated & cluttered. Yep, but sitting here surrounded by amazing eye candy I half expected the ghost of Haight Ashbury past, a young barefoot woman with flowers in her hair. You don't get this vibe at Starbucks. I don't drink coffee which is a shame given their creative offerings. If you choose to nurse a lavender latte all day, they've got WiFi, & a small windowless loft area to disappear into. Not to worry, plenty of seating. Wait, there's even a small printer by the entrance! Mugs, water bottles, jewelry, T-shirts for sale. A wall of framed dog photos. Don't know if the PAC Man machine works. You really have to see for yourself. I think the Jimi Hendrix painting is telepathically asking if I've ever been experienced. So big surprise, I ordered the Avocado Toast & a London Fog sans vanilla. Such a nice guy at the corner, bonus points he has a sense of humor. They actually toasted the bread, topped with a generous spread of creamy goodness & perfectly fried egg, meaning it didn't drip down onto my hand. On top was dressed greens piled high. Being breakfast time I wasn't in the mood for salad, so cast aside the top layer, all the better to eat with my hands. Looks like they package everything in paper to/go containers. 5 star morning. Support Local!

    This is a uniquely decorated gem! Every inch of this place was filled with cute details literally all the way to the next level. I will say, the ube latte was good but not my most favorite. They do have a big menu of unique combo flavors that I definitely have to revisit to try though. I'd also want to check out their food items too because it literally smells like yummy breakfast as you walk in. Service was quick and friendly. Located near Panhandle park, they're a great option for a little latte walk!

    The inside is BEAUTIFUL! i love the maximalist style. the menu is huge , lots of fresh pastries. we got the lemon blueberry loaf & the dark chocolate loaf. both were amazing. my bagel was called the anytime bagel, i got it without tomato and was blown away. i love arugula & spicy things ... the cucumbers were such a great combo because the jalapeños were definitely real in that cream cheese! to drink i got a pink pony club shaker & it was so refreshing. I will 1000000% be back!

    Strawberry Matcha ube Latte
    Chloe K.

    I was looking forward to getting some coffee and the review pictures looked delicious. With all the special order options i chose an ube latte. Don't get me wrong it tastes heavily like ube.. with minimal coffee. My sister got a strawberry matcha, she was very disappointed. The matcha turned brown when she mixed it with the strawberry. She said it's the worst matcha she has ever had. Other than that the service was good and fast and it was very ambient inside.

    Quirky little corner cafe that a client who lives nearby recommended. Very dog friendly (love). I ordered the Chicken Salad wrap and it was very very good. Came out warm and chicken salad was cold, everything inside was tasty. I will definitely return and try other food items!

    If I'm gonna pay 11$ for a smoothie the place better be decorated like this. If I talked to girls I would for sure bring them here as a little whimsical spot and they would think I'm so cool

    This is a cafe that really cares about its customer's experience! There were so many considerate additions to this cafe I really appreciate, and it made it really inviting to come back to. The decor is definitely over the top in a quirky way, from the wall of dog photos to the plethora of hanging floral strings on the ceiling. Pros: - Huge menu! Lots of fun flavored drinks if you're into that, and prices are very reasonable. Lattes start at 2 shots each! - I really enjoyed my Lox bagel too, so the food menu seems good as well. - Free wifi!! Seating!! Cannot emphasize this enough. - Bathroom, free samples, hot sauce bar, public mini book offering, printer with envelopes and stamps for sale, etc! The only con I can think of is that there are limited windows, so the upstairs seating can feel a bit dark. This overall seems like a really awesome neighborhood cafe with good vibes. Will definitely be coming back to work and chill w friends :)

    Cappuccino and bagel bite
    Sahar N.

    Very unique spot! The decor alone just made me want to visit! Delicious coffee and the yummiest treats! I paired a cappuccino and a stuffed bagel bite and it was PERFECT. They have season drinks as well which is a must try! Lots of themes given the time of year. Fantastic service and cozy to work from.

    I always love going to Karma Cafe, it has such a cute vibe, I feel like I can always get out of my own head and admire all of the cute art and decor around me. The food and pastries are always pretty good, I enjoy it a lot when I need a quick snack. Everyone who works there is so sweet, my friend didn't like her drink and they so kindly fixed it. I always feel bad doing something like that but the staff were amazing. Always a go-to spot for me

    Found this cafe by chance when my partner and I happened to be in the area running an errand. What a gem to find! It was an hour before closing and not too busy. There are many options for coffee drinks, smoothies, and food so it took us some time to order and the staff were patient. I ordered the "coconut coconut latte" and everything bagel bite. The latte was sweet and the bagel bite complimented it well! The decorations here are worth the visit alone (they had decorated for the 4th of July). Looking forward to seeing how the decor changes throughout the seasons!

    I love açaí bowls, so when I saw that they had a happy hour sign (10am-2:30pm daily) for $12.99, I…read moredecided to stop by to grab one for lunch! This location is really close to my work, which was great. I stopped by on a Tuesday at 1:30pm and there were only a few customers inside. I like the simple decor and the big menu on the wall, it reminded me of Hawaii. I ordered the original gangster and waited less than 5 minutes before it was ready. The açaí was not too sweet (just how I like it), and I loved all the toppings that came with it such as the granola, banana, blueberry, coconut shavings, and honey. The strawberry was a bit too tart but other than that, everything was great. I think I've found my favorite açai spot in the city. I can't wait to try other flavors next time I stop by.

    I love Bowl'd Acai! I remember going to their food truck pre-pandemic by Salesforce Tower…read more Their acai bowls are fresh, high quality, and large portions. I find the Green Goliath to be pretty unique, as well as the Original Gangster. I love the light, airy, and plant-filled interior. They also have some good "happy hours" for cheaper poke bowls, acai bowls, smoothies, and bone broths. Service is kind, friendly, and efficient. I love this location in Nob Hill? Polk Gulch? Very bikeable, walkable, and bus-able.

    This is probably the only place where the sandwiches don't taste like the store's essence…read more I mean, don't get me wrong, a store's essence from any given deli/liquor store definitely adds unique character to the sandwich and sometimes I want that in a sandwich. But when you want a sandwich that only tastes like its ingredients, Irving Subs is the spot. Their Dutch crunch is famous for being fresh and actually crunchy. Their lettuce is shredded but fresh and crispy. The salt content is just enough to bring out the flavors. And the overall composition of their sandwiches are very well proportioned. You're not getting skimped, but you're also not biting into a mouthful of a packet of deli meat. They definitely know what they are doing. Service is good and ambiance is a small humble shop on the corner of 12th Ave.

    When I first tried Irving Subs (years ago!), I got the November sandwich on Dutch crunch and recall…read moreliking it - well-portioned for the cost, sweet/savory combo (sliced turkey, cranberry sauce, white cheddar, thick cut bacon). Back then, there were sliced cucumbers in the sandwich. I finally returned again recently and tried the Giants sandwich (turkey, cheddar, thick cut bacon, avocado) and Goodfellas (salami, mild coppa, prosciutto, provolone, pesto sauce). The Goodfellas was a bit too salty with the meats + pesto sauce. I think more lettuce/tomatoes/red onions and slightly less meats would've helped balance it out better. I had requested extra red onions, but it looked like the same amount as the other sandwich we got with no extra onions. Also was not a big fan of their pesto. We both preferred the Giants, which was relatively more balanced, but it was still not a very exciting sandwich. The primary flavor was salt, with only a few bites of sourness from the pickles, yet it also gave the overall impression of blandness. The house garlicky mayo didn't have any noticeable garlicky-ness. I also couldn't taste any of the brown mustard or house vinaigrette. The Dutch crunch bread was quite dry and both thin and dense. It looked so good in the pics since it's so stacked with colorful ingredients, but it did not pull through in terms of flavor. Halfway through I was just eating it to fill my belly with sustenance rather than enjoying it (though I didn't hate it either). Prices still seem pretty reasonable for the portion size; that would probably be the main draw for me if I ever return again. Maybe I will give the November sandwich one more shot next time.
