    This cute, little coffee shop is located in Fitler Square. It offers coffee, speciality lattes, speciality sandwiches (bagels could be used in place of the sandwich bread pieces). They ask for your name to put on your order. They got both my partners and my own name wrong. The store front had a refrigerator full of La croix and other beverages. The place also sells mugs and tee shirts. I got a Stroopwafel latte and Veggie Delight on an everything bagel. The Stroopwafel latte was disappointing. It didn't taste anything like a stroopwafel. I felt like it wasn't as sweet as I would have liked it to be. The Veggie Delight was in a perfectly toasted everything bagel. I really liked the avocado spread, tomato, cucumber, hummus and spinach that this dish offered. I did find it kind of overpriced; however, for something I can make at home.

    Great coffee and great atmosphere. There's room to work if you want to come here and get some things done. The employees are very pleasant and helpful! Highly recommend

    I came upon Good Karma Cafe recently along the way to a doctor's appointment and the inviting look of the place, coupled with my love of coffee, invited me to give it a try, and I've become a semi-regular ever since. Upon entering the cafe, I was pleased with the set-up and the look of the place. With nature-friendly decor and smart seating areas, Good Karma has a calming ambience. Their menu consists of many tempting items, all of which are on the healthy side of things, including many vegan and vegetarian options, as well. Though I have yet to try any of their food items, yet, I have partaken in several equally appealing and healthy items off their drink menu. I love their coffee, and they make a mean chai latte, but their smoothies have slowly become my favorite choices, especially the Karma Chameleon and Chocolate Banana Soy. In all of my visits to Good Karma, the servers have all been welcoming as well, not only to me, but to every other customer, too! Just another reason to love this place.

    Popeye and  Rox Out with Your Lox Out

    A friend and I went to Good Karma Cafe on a rainy Sunday morning. It's a little tight inside especially around the counter/ordering area, but once we were up to the counter and placed our orders and luckily grabbed a table, it felt very cozy and comfortable. I got the popeye on an everything bagel- it was a good size and tasted healthy. My friend got the salmon bagel which was huge, and did not skimp on the cream cheese which I love. I got a coconut latte which did come out after my food but it was ok because it was delicious. The bathroom inside was also cute and clean, which I appreciate in an eatery.

    Power bowl packaged to go

    I stopped by Good Karma this morning for coffee and a small breakfast bite. The location is very easy to find from their signage and a large mural to the right of the storefront. They have a few seats outside and even some available inside (YAY!). There is a large menu above the counter with an assortment of coffees, teas, espresso drinks, and food items. I opted to try the Lavender Latte because I overheard someone in front of me order it and it sounded great. I am a huge fan of Oat Milk so I was excited to learn that they had that on the menu too! To eat, I tried the Power Bowl which consisted of scrambled eggs, turkey sausage & bacon, spinach, cheddar cheese, and everything seasoning. I ordered it to go and by the time I got home the cheese was melty and delicious. The portion was on the smaller size, but it was exactly what I was looking for this morning! The staff was very friendly, the space was very clean, and I loved to see that it is pet friendly inside! Knowing that I could come by with one of my pups and spend a few hours working is very enticing.

    Cool as a Cucumber
    John Michael S.

    I love Good Karma. The thing with all their shops in Philly; they are consistently great! The staff is always over and beyond amazing! The coconut iced coffees or lavenders coffees are my go to's. The cool as a cucumber starts my weekends right. Their seasonal drinks are great! When it is pumpkin season, you gotta get their pumpkin chai (iced). You'll thank me later. Go give them a visit at any of their locations, you will enjoy it!

    Honey Vanilla Iced 16 oz. Latte

    It's been awhile since I've had a great iced latte. I got a 16 oz. honey vanilla iced latte, it was really good. It was sweet enough to my liking. The establishment has inside seating, as well as a outside patio. We sat outside, it was aesthetically pleasing and had a lot of seating for you catch up on some work or to chat with friends. I can't wait to go back and try some food options.

    The colonial mustard sandwich was a 10 out of 10. The service was amazing!! This is my first time stopping at a coffee shop in Philadelphia and I will definitely be back.

    Love Good Karma Cafe! Great selection of food and drinks- not just coffee. I personally love their smoothies and iced teas. I've been lucky enough to find seating every time I go and there's even a back courtyard when the weather is nice. The service is always fast and excellent. Only complaint is that the matcha is pre-sweetened.

    Iced chai on a warm spring day
    Bekke S.

    Another warm spring day called for a cool treat, so we decided to pick up some 'good karma' and visit this spot. The inside is a little small, but still a room of 6-8 tiny tables and a bar along a windowed wall that could seat about 5. There are a few tables outside, too. So if it's a nice day maybe don't super count on grabbing a spot, but still come on in! There were two baristas on duty and they kept the small line moving pretty well. There were maybe two pastries left in the case which was a bummer. We did come in around 2 pm, so I guess it's you snooze you lose. (If I had docked a star it only would have been for that. Would have loved a croissant or something!) I got an iced chai with soy milk and whipped cream and it was divine. My friend got an hot latte with something floral (she thinks lavender) and the barista making it really went above and beyond in their communication. Here's what she had to say: "The latte itself was good. Just sweet enough. But the floral taste was very intense. Too intense. And a little artificial. And I usually like floral, but this wasn't great. I don't regret the risk!"

    Best matcha latte in this area for sure !! Great food options too if ur hungry. Def going to be our new spot

    Due to COVID my normal coffe shop work flow as been interrupted. Then the other day my wife visited GK and was on cloud 9 about this location. So we de Decided to pack our bags and take a bike ride and work from the shop. Everything she had to say lived up to the hype! they had outdoor seating in the front but the real magic happened when they directed me to outdoor seating in the back. A cozy spot with an amazing environment. Pair that with great coffee and Chai tea, it was a great spot to get some stuff done on a nice day. Definitely Gonna keep coming back to support this place during these tough times.

My family and I were in Philly for a World Cup match and decided to stop in for a chai latte and a coffee. There was a short line, and when it was our turn, we were greeted by the sweetest employee. She was incredibly welcoming, patient, and took the time to explain the different coffee blends they offered. We ended up getting the Colombia blend, which my husband absolutely loved. Now, why do I regret coming here? Because this was, without a doubt, the BEST chai latte I have ever had in my life. It completely ruined every other chai latte for me. The bar has been set so high that every chai I've had since has been a disappointment. I can't wait to make it back to Philly!

Inside AC is blasting (in a good way) so if you run cold, bring your jacket! I don't think the chairs are that comfy to stay long, and not very suitable to have a coffee yap with friends. If you buy their coffee beans (which is so economical!!) you'll get a free drink of choice!! I had their pumpkin spice latte w oat milk and it was tasty! Not overtly sweet and tasted like autumn and crunchy leaves! The staff seemed very nice and knowledgeable, not pretentious!

It is a very small shop, so there are only a few tables inside, along with a few outside depending on the weather. Although small, the interior is clean and cozy. A single restroom is available.

They have a nice variety of flavors (both sweet and savory), so most palettes will be satisfied. Prices are definitely fair. If I weren't just a traveler passing through, this would easily become a regular spot for me. It's at least on the "must return to" list! 10/10 recommend.
