My favorite coffee shop in Philly. The coffee is strong and flavorful and the staff is so kind. Love the coffee smoothie 😻

Cute coffee shop with lots of food and coffee options. I ordered a cortado and they handed me a latte…. For the price they’re charging they should know how to make the items on their menu.

I have to hop on to say this because I have not had a seasonal drink yet that has made me appreciate that fall is here, but this Cinderalla Latte did it. It is SO good. So flavorful and delicious

Delicious food and speedy regardless not customer flow. I recommend the Colonel Mustard sandwich. Also one of the best, and few acceptable dirty chais for my preference, two chai choices too, Spicy ginger, and honey vanilla. And most milks under the sun.

A bit disappointed. Soy latte tasted off & they gave us the lox on a jalapeno cheddar bagel. Not a good combo

Super friendly staff, lovely interior and chalk art inside and out, and delicious, unique Lattes. The cinnamon buns and croissants were also fantastic! I love coming here for a coffee treat once in a while; better than Starbucks and supporting good causes

Got a large drip coffee and an apple of my eye on french toast bagel. Everything was okay. Happy to support a local business tho. The ambiance was lovely.

My friends and I arrived with a heavy heart and a hungover head. What we expected was a dank bagel to satisfy our yearnings. They were out of bagels and we were left with unsavory bread to complete a lackluster breakfast sandwich. To finish it off, a berry smoothie that was watered down. Bad karma.

Cool and comfortable little spot. Welcoming atmosphere, good vibe. Staff was mellow. Food was good. Menu offerings were different (in a good way!) They certainly put thought into the options. Will be back to try some of the other offerings. Portions good have been a bit bigger. Nice place to chill or for a quiet meeting.

Gem of a coffee shop with a fair amount of seating for the size. Nice guy working here - was enthusiastic about making a recommendation on my first visit (& he was so right on about the green tea drink with lavender- I forget its official name). Will be back and definitely recommend!

Warm and friendly staff, good coffee and food. I really love their hummus. Something that keeps me going back there time and again. Evan is very sweet and yes he makes the best sandwiches. But people here can get very loud and annoying. Avoid going here if you need to concentrate or work on something important.

Review №47

It is a place i used to visit daily, and it holds a very special place in my memories of the city, which dates back to the december of 2011. on a cold winter day i came here wearing the old deck jacket. it was a song from depression cherry album playing in the background, you look at the clear blue sky outside, beyond love. i still walk past this cafe 3, 4 times a week to this day, but would refrain from walking inside drink a coca cola with cup of ice as i always did. the longer i live in this city, the more distant it becomes to me, gradually it evolves and becomes a feeling of complete indifference.

Review №48

This spot has been under so many names so Im glad to see a familiar coffee shop (as Ive been to the one at 928 Pine St.) take over this one. In addition to a variety of beverages, they serve pastries, bagels, sandwiches, etc; not to mention, a bottomless cup of coffee is VERY reasonably priced and the baristas are quick and eager to suggest different coffee blends. They also have a table-sharing policy which promotes connection among customers (hence their name, Good Karma), and I love that! Come in alone and leave having made a new acquaintance! Rotating art displays on the walls, friendly and enthusiastic staff, and great music playing in the background make for a place that I intend to return to soon! Thanks, Good Karma!

Breakfast bagel sandwiches all day long. I’m very happy I found this place!

Hi

Good Karma has some very unique seasonal flavor combinations to add into your latte or cappuccino. My personal favorites are Rose Chai and lavender. Their hummus bagel sandwiches also hit the spot.

Review №55

Awesome coffee but you guys hiked up the prices on your iced coffee. Me and my co-workers are Gonna have to go to dunkin donuts or something sorry cant afford to drop close to 5 bucks on just an iced coffee! Please bring back reasonable prices me and my co-workers miss you guys!

Review №56

Really neat coffee shop! Mainly set up for small meetings or professionals (as in, no couches but plenty of seating and a laptop bar). Coffee is excellent and theyre creative with the coffee-esque beverages (lattes and such). Also they seem to cater to dog people, which adds some awesome points in my book!

Review №57

What a great place! All ORGANIC coffee and foods, not to mention all their coffee is Fair Trade Coffee meaning its Socially Conscience in how its grown, sustainable and anything Fair Trade Certified means it gives back with programs to improve the lives of the people who produce a product, and the world. The atmosphere is pleasant, very clean, delicious coffee, latte, etc with healthy, good tasting breakfast, sandwiches, fare, friendly staff ... and yes wifi. I like the model of this cafe, because I get a real good cup of coffee and I did something good buying this coffee knowing how socially conscience Good Karma is in how they purchase their products from growers who treat their workers well, and give back to the world with programs and money to improve many things. On the surface it looks like a cafe, but underneath its a group of people making a difference using organic and fair trade items for our health and to insure their products adhere to a higher standard in a socially conscience environment/world.

Great small little cafe- I went in to get some iced tea on a hot day, unfortunately what I ordered wasnt available and the staff helped me pick out something else that was delicious, went again with my significant other and had a breakfast sandwich and she had a turkey club, i loved the taste of my sandwich but the portion was a little small for the price; and my sos sandwich lacked taste but the portion seemed right. I got the bottomless mug and the staff was very accommodating when I asked for ice in it because it was a bit too hot, and my so got an iced tea special which was phenomenal, in my opinion i would skip the food but definitely come check it out for the specialty teas and a good price on coffee

This was my fav casual, getaway, high quality coffee shop while living in Philly. Whenever I am in Philly, I must stop by and order the Happy Buddha sandwich and a rich cup of coffee. The coffees are delicious, imported and high quality. The owner, Mr. Shawn Nesbit, is gracious and dedicated to ethics. Great wifi connection, too!

Ah, this cafe is just so beautiful! Everything about it is aesthetic. From the outside design and benches to the interior with regularly changing wall art, this certainly is a cozy cafe. Theres lots of natural sunlight. The clientele are white collar with many being UPENN-affiliated.The staff are really friendly and sincere.The coffee is cheap and if I remember correctly they offer free refills. The tea selection is varied and they have delicious white teas. I havent tried much of their food, but their bagel and cream cheese suffice.This is a great place to grab an early morning coffee before sunrise and do some reading.During peak hours youd be hard-pressed to find a seat, but if you do then enjoy the strong Wi-Fi.Overall, I find this cafe to be inspiring.
