They make the best matcha I have ever had, along with a slew of other handcrafted beverages, hot and iced coffee and tea, and kombucha, and they also serve ceremony-style traditional hot teas. If you are looking for anything artisanal, look no further than HOWL. The place itself is a historic building with a very fun, new-age vibe including ground-level seating, a front porch with a community bulletin board, a backyard, and a little gift shop of incense, candles, tarot decks, jewelry, and tea pets for your hot teas. Service is usually pretty quick and always friendly, but if you are looking to come here be careful of the hours. They are not open Monday or Tuesday, and on the days they are open it is only from 11am to 5pm (shortened from the previous hours of 11-7).

The outside of Cym definitely needs a spruce up but when you walk in it is surprisingly nice. The space is divided up into several rooms where several people had their laptops out working or studying. I had a hot latte that was warm at best and a raspberry croissant. The croissant had a nice raspberry flavor but the latte definitely could have been much hotter. The coffee though was good and no sweetener was needed. They have a nice outside porch area with a fan for sitting when the inside gets too full or if you just want to enjoy the outdoors.

The biscuits that they make are amazing and as far as every pastry I've tried so far I have thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them including the raspberry almond croissant and I don't even like raspberries so that says a lot! The service is great in the mornings but the last time I went in the afternoon I wasn't a fan of the attitude some of the workers had so I'm definitely sticking to mornings. (I chose not to tip because of how they greeted me and unfortunately this was the time the food was bad so I was very upset) Over all I love this place. I am all about an honest review. I love the decor and over all vibe of the place. I hope that one day they're able to expand a bit and have comfier seating so that people could stay longer and enjoy the atmosphere as well as continue to purchase more of their products!

I have driven by this place a number of times but havnt stopped in until recently! Karma Cream is…read morean all-vegan cafe and bakery near downtown. They offer a variety of baked goods, beverages, and even ice cream that's all plant-based and organic. Part of the reason I've never checked Karma Cream out is due to the fact that they are 100% vegan. I am by no means a vegetarian or vegan and have typically found that vegan foods just don't taste as good. Although my preconceived notions were definitely proven wrong as I had two incredible baked goods from here! The cafe is quant and inviting. They offer plenty of seating and it looks like a great place to study. It is kept clean and organized as well. The service was super friendly and they seem to know locals well. The woman taking my order was able to help me decide on what to try, which I appreciated! Their baked goods appear to rotate, with some staple items and other seasonal/special items. The bakery case has plenty to offer between cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and more! Everything was super fresh as there were even workers bringing out freshly baked items to replenish the bakery case. I got the snickers brownie and a raspberry white chocolate macaron. I'm not going to lie, these items were a little pricey coming in at $10. I guess this should be expected when considering the ingredients going into the products. The brownie was recommended to me and it didn't disappoint. The brownie had the texture of a Betty Crocker mix, which I wasn't expecting for a all-vegan baked good. It wasn't dry and honestly had pretty good flavor. The whipped "snickers" icing on top was really amazing and complimented the brownie nicely. This wasn't an amazing brownie, but it wasn't bad either. The macaron was really good though and it was extremely reminiscent of a non-vegan macaron. I was the most impressed with this item and would recommend. The raspberry flavor was spot on and very fresh--delectable! Overall, I am glad a took a chance and checked out Karma Cream. The items I had didn't taste like they were vegan at all and were good. The service was wonderful and the atmosphere very welcoming. I really appreciated how clean it was too. I need to come back and try their coffee or matcha, along with their ice cream! I will certainly be back and look forward to trying more.

I had an older lady in front of me get 2 pieces of the quiche and asked for them to be light in color because she wanted to heat them up at home. The blonde girl rolled her eyes at her. I thought wow that was rude but maybe the younger girl was having a bad day but still no reason to take it out on this older lady. I also thought I'm going to see my friend and mushroom onion quiche sounds delicious. I decided to get 2 slices of it. I asked her to please warm it up. After it was done warming up I watched her try to pull it out of the over and saw her ripping it apart and then shrugging her arms like whatever. Then she handed it to me like she had not just done that. I went out to the car looked at it and brought it right back in and told her you know the crust is all ripped off these and she told me yea that's what happens when you heat up quiche. No, that definitely is what happens when you are obviously aggravated about something else and take your aggression out on my quiche and then just shrugged your shoulders and hand it to me anyways. I even had tipped this chick because I always tip and that really makes me mad. Another very kind girl came out from the back with brown hair and refunded me my money and apologized. I don't want to come back in here now sadly because of the blond girls attitude. Sad I lost a place I liked coming to because I don't want to deal with an employees that is rude to the customers for no reason.

My boyfriend got a cappuccino with strawberry syrup but we didn't really taste the strawberry in his. Regardless, it was delicious. We also got one of their biscotti which seemed like they made in house but I'm not sure. It was yummy, but definitely was not a very traditional recipe. It tasted more like a short bread than a biscotti but still very yummy. We walked out to the food truck to get some vegan bites and they definitely met expectations. The crabby patty was delicious with a great texture, and my boyfriends patty melt was also super good. We shared a mac and cheese and honestly I was full before we even got to that. The Mac and cheese was great but did taste a lot like coconut so if you're not into that then maybe veer away. The ambience was a mixed bag. The initial shop that you order the coffee in had a very cozy vibe with great decor. If you walk past the patio into the overflow seating the vibe changes a ton. The decor felt very uncanny valley, back rooms, like very odd. I think they need to work on that side of the property a little bit and make it more cozy. Maybe it's a work in progress or maybe they like it that way, I'm not sure, but it wasn't the sort of vibe that made me want to stick around. Overall great experience though! Will be coming back & hopefully I can get seating in the main shop ;)

I ordered my traditional double espresso, straight up, to test the coffee. The presentation was perfect, the taste was fantastic and there was not even a hint of bitterness. Inquiring about the coffee's origin revealed it is locally roasted, 20% Ethiopian and 80% Colombian. This yields a perfect balance of smoothness and complexity which is quite unique, wonderful and approachable. They also have an in-house baking program for all their cookies and pastries. Since I'm dairy and gluten free, I had to pass but my good friend enjoyed his cookie. The location is on a quiet street with plenty of parking across the street to the northeast. Just look for the secret parking area marked as a tow away zone. Lowbar has a unique, welcoming vibe with a comfortable environment, great air conditioning, a humble exterior, a spotless bathroom and the right amount of seating. Plus, skateboards!
