Friendly, welcoming atmosphere, excellent service, delicious coffee, and wonderful food

Karma Café is an absolute gem in Waukesha. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels calm, intentional, and welcoming — exactly the kind of place you want to start your morning or reset your afternoon.

Service was friendly, patient, and genuinely upbeat. You don’t feel rushed — you feel taken care of. The team clearly takes pride in what they do, and it shows.

Plenty of seating, easy parking out front, and the space is clean, bright, and relaxing.

If you're in Waukesha — whether you’re looking for a coffee or smoothie, a quick bite, or a spot to unwind — Karma Café deserves to be on your regular rotation. Highly recommend.

Just about if not all of their offerings are V and most are GF as well…very challenging to find a place that has items that are both :-) Bright, clean, fresh atmosphere. The waffle bites with fruit - yum!! Cannot go wrong with properly seasoned Avocado Toast. Really nice experience - had some studying to do. The music wasn’t too much to interfere with other conversations or someone who needed to get some work done. 5 stars

Ok I’m almost afraid to post about this place bc I don’t want it to get busy. But holy beans, this place is the vibe. Awesome coffee, protein bowls, GF waffles, snacks, local gifts, art, etc. almost everything here is GF. Absolutely insane. If I’m out of my house, chances are I will be spending every moment alive here. What an absolute vibe. Super nice barista, chill space, big window, great location. Literally everything.

*Updated 9/28/25 - I’d love to come here more but they do not staff appropriately for mornings especially on Sundays. One person to handle the morning rush is not great and ends up making for a poor experience. Semi-regret taking my family here for breakfast now. Moving service down to 3 stars*

Scarfed down my avocado toast before I could share here; the hot honey avo toast is amazing and I really love you can order 1 or 2 slices. The coffee is always hot and tasty, and they offer plenty of flavor options, many more unique and seasonal. Highly recommend stopping in, checking out all the unique items they have for sale and enjoy a snack and/or coffee!

Best protein smoothie bowl I've ever had. I asked them to go light on the pineapple and they happily accommodated. They kept my water glass full for the couple hours I was here. Will be back for sure.

It was my first time stopping by, a little rainy today and with the flooding in town it might’ve caused a very slow morning—but wow! Super clean and welcoming atmosphere and lots of delicious options on the menu. I ordered the Karma Bowl and am excited to try the other options. Will definitely be coming back!

First time here. Have driven by a bunch of times and always wanted to stop. It's a small place in Downtown Waukesha (don't let the quirky waukesha streets scare you off). There are a couple of tables outside and more inside for small groups.

Was greeted by a friendly staff/barista. They were very helpful in explaining some of the menu options. We were interested in an Acai bowl, and ended up with small Karma and Dragon bowls. Also ordered a Chai Latte (extra foam please).

While we were waiting there were several other people that stopped by. All of whom had pre-ordered their to-go orders. After a short wait, we got our bowls and chai. They were both very good. Fresh, well presented, and good portions. The chai was also well made. Nice foam. (could have been hotter, next time will not that).

One small suggestion. The Acai puree was very cold/almost frozen. Maybe that works well for to-go, but I needed to have it thaw out a bit to really enjoy the flavor.

Nice place that I would come back to.
