“If you know what to order, you’re fine. I’m no fan of the breakfast sandwiches and one tasteless cheeseburger I’ve gotten before. But if you stick to soup & chicken fingers: you can’t go wrong. I try to go here for fingers at least once a week“

“I am from Tucson AZ. I can honestly say some of the front desk women haven't been the nicest to me and then I spoke with Val from membership services. He changed my opinion because he showed kindness! I have a few health issues no one would help me with and he did! He was understanding and even thru the phone you could hear the smile on his face. You need more people like him! Give the guy a raise! In AA we say it's attraction not promotion" he is attracting people with his kindness and service. I almost left but he made it easier for me and for that I am grateful! Thank you Lifetime for hiring him and his enthusiasm! I still wish the pool was filled with more water tasted less salty and scrubbed the dirt off but other then that a great place and thank goodness for Val!“

This is not a place that got IG famous because they’re quirky. Every menu item is well thought out and approachable without being boring.
Absolutely worth your time and money. Try everything!“

“Some of the best black coffee I’ve had! I’m originally from Illinois. While the cafes I’ve been to in that state are good, this place didn’t water it down, and I didn’t even ask for strong black coffee like I normally would in Illinois. Very polite people! Got my drink in like a minute or two. Went well with my walk around the area!“

“I’ve been getting banh mi from Cafe Cuong for over 15 years, they have the best banh mi in town. However, last time I went in 2025, the young guy at the counter overcharged $5…this is not about the 5 bucks that he try to steal, it’s about even with loyal customers, he’s still trying to to screw over. Really smart running the business..I stop going!“

“would recommend coming here for matcha! i got a large maiko special with matcha and lychee ice cream. the staff were really nice and even offered to give out samples of the ice cream for us to try. overall this is a great place to chill out and hang out with friends. plus they have great taste in jpop and jrock music too.“

“Best chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie I’ve ever had“

“The lavender espresso latte is enough to earn the 5 stars, but the service was also exceptional. Everyone was so kind to my almost 2 year old daughter and it really made my day. I already told my husband I need to bring him here with us next time!“

“I had such a great experience at The Turkish Brew! The Turkish coffee was rich, authentic, and perfectly prepared. I also tried some Turkish food, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and truly reminded me of home.
The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is incredibly friendly. It’s the perfect spot to relax, enjoy a great cup of coffee, and experience real Turkish flavors. Highly recommend!“

“A great breakfast sandwich with more we want to try…. Self-service restaurant where you order at the counter, get your own coffee/water etc. and then sit down to enjoy your meal. Staff are very, very nice. Sandwich was on a Kaiser which had been grilled on the flat top which enhanced every bit of the sandwich. A large helping of eggs and very thick bacon. My breakfast sandwich connoisseur son thought his was outstanding. The coffee is self service and absolutely delicious. The entire restaurant is spotless. We’ll be back.“

“great place good vibes good food great customer service“

“So excited to have discovered this gem, enjoyed a lovely al fresco lunch on the patio. The food all looked so incredible and fresh, was hard to pick - we got the chicken gyro and falafel pitas. Super fresh ingredients and friendly service. Was so affordable and fast. 12/10 would recommend!“

“Always have great food & service💕 😋“

“I love Adelie Coffee House. The coffee is simply delicious! It's rich, smooth, aromatic, soothing - like a warm blanket fresh out of the dryer. I've only tried the cheese danish. It was very good. The baristas are great - all of them. The coffee house itself is bare bones, yet clean and cozy. You have the option to sit outside if you like. I'm so glad this little gem is right down the street from my house.💜“

“This place is AMAZING!!!!! Wilcaf will be the first place I go when I'm back on campus!“

“Always excellent food! Family place, the girls are awesome…“

“Food and coffee were delicious! Definitely recommend“

“This place has been on our list for a long time, and we’re so lucky it’s close to our home! We had an amazing breakfast experience. Everything we ordered was soooo good.
I usually feel heavy after eating breakfast sandwiches, but theirs was exceptional: delicious and super fresh. I was so happy after the meal that I even started shadowboxing outside! 🥊😄
Make sure to order the breakfast burritos! They are absolutely delicious!
We’ll definitely be back. Very, very well done to the chefs and the owners! 👏“

“I’d eat a dirty shoe if it was between two slices of the rosemary focaccia. I have been have trouble deciding between the BLP and the Chipotle Chicken Club so I’ve started getting both (BLP for breakfast and CCC for lunch). The food is incredible, but somehow still lives in the shadow of the service. Some environments just don’t allow negative energy and this is one of them. You walk in and are immediately greeted by the friendly owner and the smell of fresh coffee and some cheddar biscuits/coffee crumble cake. Not sure if I misheard but I’m pretty sure someone ordered a Rosemary Latte…. I didn’t know that was a thing, but I plan on investigating next time I go in. 10 out of 5 stars for sure!“

“My husband and I stopped in here for the first time tonight. The milkshakes are insane and super thick! The mousse was delicious and had toppings throughout the cup, not just on top! People working were awesome, so nice. We'll definitely be frequenting this location for the summer!“

“The owner is a huge supporter of local music. The food is great, the musical talent they bring in is awesome. What more can you ask for???“

“We randomly stopped at this place for brunch after a concert. Food was delicious with very unique options. Sweet chili pork roll is great!“

“got a vanilla latte, black coffee, spinach thing, pesto melt, and chocolate chip cookie! the vanilla latte was delicious as well as the spinach thing but it was all great. love a small business and highly recommend you go support <3 also had good area to do work was nice/spacious/quiet“

“*4.5/5 Stars*

I recently discovered Good Karma Cafe and I'm hooked! This charming spot exceeded my expectations with its warm atmosphere, top-notch service, and delicious food.

The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, happily answering our questions about the menu. We indulged in their mouthwatering chicken sandwiches on sourdough bread, paired with refreshing lemonade and iced tea. The cozy back dining room, adorned with vibrant art and lush greenery, made for a pleasant dining experience.

Their breakfast and brunch menu boasts an array of tempting options, making me eager to return. Standouts include the Colonel Mustard sandwich and almond croissant.

Good Karma Cafe excels in:

- Friendly, attentive staff
- Beautiful decor
- Excellent selection of hot and cold beverages
- Tasty sandwiches and pastries
- Ample seating
- Convenient WiFi and water for customers

Minor drawbacks:

- Limited outdoor seating
- Coffee (large latte) was bitter and milk was over-steamed (though smoothies were great!)

Overall, Good Karma Cafe is an ideal spot for a satisfying breakfast or lunch. I'll definitely be back for more!
