I was out running errands when I thought a nice holiday cup of coffee would be a beautiful combination this day. So I stopped in good karma Cafe. If you have ever been there you know what a pain it is just to park :) so You know that feeling when you walk into a place and the record Skips and everyone looks at you, yeah that's how I felt that day. I brushed it off and made my way to the ordering counter I ordered the pumpkin spice. Then I proceeded to look around and I noticed a painting for sale, so I asked how much they wanted for it. I was told $60 and it has to be cash, so I reached in my pocket and I had the money I felt like this was fate. I proceeded to hand them the cash when they changed and said sorry we need PayPal or venmo. So I cancelled the painting and took my coffee and went on my merry way. Long story short I need only two things in a coffee shop, fresh coffee and good vibes. On that day I did not receive either. I wish them well and I hope to have another shot at changing my experience with this place in the future...

You Need to come and try this cute cafe out. Home style atmosphere with beautiful artsy rustic decor. The owner and staff are very friendly checking on you making sure you are taken care of.Amazing pastries, gigantic fluffy pancakes, best BLT I had in a long time. I would be here everyday if I lived nearby. And wish I could have tried everything they had on the menu.Sry would have added more pics but we were in a rush to get to Pikes Peak and I forgot.

If you are going here just to get a coffee or something hot to drink and to get some work done I would recommend this place. The staff was friendly and the owner seemed genuinely interested in who I was and where I was from. I also appreciated that they had both sweet and spicy chai and asked which I preferred. It came in a decent size cup and was very creamy and delicious.The shop itself was cozy and quite with relaxing music and plenty of outlets. If I had the time and money would have stayed there for a few hours just to write.As far as feed back, I would say that the food in general was a bit pricey for the amount of food I got , and it had no flavor to it. With tip included I paid about $26 for the chai tea, two eggs maybe a 1/4 cup of potatoes one piece of toast and one sausage patty. This isn't unheard of as far as pricing and I'm not opposed to paying a bit more fore a decent meal, but I also want to receive a meal worthy of the price I'm paying, not a $10 meal that is over priced because of the part of town the shop is in. When you factor in $4 for parking I paid $30 for a mediocre breakfast.I may go back for the chai tea but not for food.

Wow! This is what I was looking for in a coffee house. Great specialty coffee and refreshing options of teas. The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. They also have local artist painting for sale which tie in well to the vibe of the place. Jack the mascot greeted us as soon as we came in and got along well with Cachito. They also have breakfast which looked great. Definitely a must try.

Love this cute shop! I met Samantha the other day for the first time and she was absolutely amazing!! She recommended an awesome coffee with white lavender syrup & she made it with perfection. I’ve gone back 3 times specially to have her make my coffee, I even asked the girl at the register if Sam could make it.The dog Jack was so cute!!!I loved checking out the telescope too.Will be back.

Absolutely a great place for coffee and lunch. All three of us had delicious sandwiches and specialty coffees. My BLT was perfect, crispy bacon, thinly sliced tomato, fresh greens and healthy bread. Wish I could dine out on such fresh, delicious food every time I ordered out.

An odd experience, for sure. The good is that they brew nice hot/iced tea. Our group also got coffee and sandwiches. Greeted with "Are you ordering food?" and then directed to a table.The food was okay but mostly the place was kind of just dirty feeling. Sticky tables, dirty floor, piles of discarded stuff in corners or tucked under seats, and dirty condiment holders are one thing.Most alarming was the dog wandering the building, unattended yet on a leash, going from table to table begging. Confusing payment process too. Guy who checked us out seemed irritated that we came up to the register to check out, though that is what we are supposed to do?
EDIT ***I think I see a problem, and it's big enough that I feel it noteworthy. This feels like a sit-down breakfast joint marketed as a casual coffee shop. The emphasis appears to be on the breakfast served, but when you walk in, there's a big menu of drinks above the counter like you would expect from any other coffee shop.What the owner said in his response is correct - we were the last people in, and we waltzed up to the counter expecting to be able to order drinks, as there was no visual indicator to guide us otherwise (host stand, menus on the table, etc). We were asked if we would be ordering breakfast, but we weren't asked if we would like a table and how many people we had.My biggest piece of constructive criticism I can think to offer is that if there is any way for this restaurant to be *only* a sit-down place, I think it would be a massive improvement. The breakfast looks incredible, but there's too few people trying to do too many things at the same time.End edit ***When I stopped in for a quick coffee, we were greeted with the owner's terrible attitude. There is a sign in front of the register that says tap to pay is available, so I readied my phone to pay. He kept the payment device in front of him, glanced at my phone, and never held out the device. So, I started digging for my card; he let out an annoyed sigh as I did so.On top of that, he snapped at his employees a couple of times. I think the only time I heard him act kindly was when he spoke to his dog. Definitely the least relaxing coffee shop I've been to in the Springs. Save yourself the stress and go somewhere else instead.

What a great place, I drank the best latte I’ve ever had. The pancakes were huge! The owner has a pup and little guy is super cute. Good food, great staff, decent price. I like that it’s off the main road, you can get a parking spot right in front. We will be back!

Came in with my boyfriend to order an iced coffee, and while I was reading the menu my boyfriend asked to use the restroom. The owner said "It's for customers only," in which my boyfriend tried to reply with "I'm..." before being rudely cut off with the owner repeating "IT'S FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY, BYE." We left and found an amazing coffee shop up the street, and it has more menu options.

This used to be my go to place when I lived in Colorado springs. Went to visit today with my friends and had really good words about this place. We got there and the male barista was extremely rude! Will not recommend, better off going to a different local coffee shop.
