summary: if hype ice cream were a thing, I feel like Good Karma would be the poster child for it. The whole basis of how you order is similar to how really popular merchandise drops happen, where you have to be waiting on your phone and start smashing the add to cart button to get an order. The ice cream really does sell out within like 10 minutes, so be forewarned. They do have a pretty large selection of ice cream to choose from and they're all pretty unique. The pickup process is also a bit unique in that there are only select windows of time you can go to pick up your order, so it's definitely not the most convenient or cheapest option of ice cream out there. All the logistics out of the way, the ice cream itself is great. It's a thickk ice cream. Each bite is loaded with mix-ins so it feels like a very indulgent, rich treat. It's a delicious ice cream and pretty hard to come by, but I would say it's worth the experience if you haven't tried before. read more

Overall: order pints of unique and decadent ice cream online to pick up at a later date for about $12-13 each Orders open around 7pm on Wednesdays and you have to be quick to click before they sell out. The flavors are all unique and fun. The two I tried were both good but also had more mix ins than ice cream. Their packaging is cute. Definitely a fun novelty or gift idea. read more

Love getting ice cream from here whenever they drop! It's a shame they don't have an actual storefront because I think they would do really well with walk in customers. You order on Wednesdays at 7pm on their website on weeks they have drops. Make sure you set an alarm or sign up for notifications because these ice creams go FAST. Like, sell out in less than 5 mins fast. Once you order, you pick up at their location in Columbia. It's an easy process, you just give your name and they grab your ice cream pints from a freezer. These ice creams are PACKED with mix-ins. To me, it makes it worth the $13 per pint, especially if it's a special treat. This wasn't my first time ordering from here and certainly won't be my last! read more

First off - WOW is this ice cream good. I love ice cream with toppings and they do not skimp out. My favorite so far has been anything with Oreo but they have lots of options that change each week (or every other) so it's easy to find at least one that suites your fancy. The downside - there's no storefront where you can go in and just buy it. You have to log on at 7pm on Wednesday and hope you click right to grab what you want. It's a little stressful competing with sometimes 1,000 other people! But it's popular for a reason! $13/pint is a little pricy but not surprising when you see everything they add to it. This is not your typical flavors type place, it's more advanced. read more

Getting this ice cream can be a challenge but I feel like that adds to the excitement of it! I got the Funky Monkey (like a banana pudding flavor) and Purple Haze (coconut ube with pecans). They nailed the Ube flavor very well! As a Filipino, it's annoying when food is branded as Ube and the Ube flavor isn't there just the color so I really enjoyed this flavor. I've also tried a variety of "banana pudding-like" ice creams and this one nails the banana flavor perfectly and doesn't taste artificial. The pickup service was easy and the workers were friendly. The only downfall is the short pickup windows which can be a barrier for some. They also do a lot of great work for the community so I will definitely keep supporting! I also love their creative packaging! read more

Very popular, so good luck getting some! Great to see a small business doing well, though! I was finally able to get some after trying three times. Pick up was easy, and the pumpkin cheesecake ice cream was spectacular! Ingredients seemed fresh, like there's real pumpkin in there. I took off a couple of stars due to the smug person who checked me out during pick up. Wasn't expecting the arrogance from a place called Good Karma. read more

Ordered these on a Wednesday when they are released. You have to order online and then pick up at a designated time and place. I was actually able to go at an earlier pick up time-slot than the one I selected since I had some availability. Super friendly people and very short wait when you actually go to pick the ice cream up. They have an efficient system that's fast! The ice cream itself is wonderful. Super rich and creamy and loaded with toppings (huge plus for me since it's how I like my ice cream). My personal favorite surprisingly was the Old Bay ice cream; the sweet dense caramel works so well with the salty and spiced old bay ice cream and the pretzels and peanuts had a beautiful crunch to it all. It's lots of textures and flavors that work really well together. The Oreo cheesecake was also delicious; I'm normally not a huge fan of chocolate but the cheesecake, and Oreo, and chocolate all go together well together without anything being too overpowering. It really tastes like a deconstructed cheesecake vs a lot of cheesecake ice creams taste like ice cream with cheesecake in it. The one I was actually most excited about was the lemon tart one. I love lemons and I love tart flavors in my ice cream. I think the mistake I made was eating this one last instead of first; it's more delicate with with sweet and sour lemon curd and the white chocolate and crumbs. Definitely something that's hard to appreciate after the old bay ice cream which is more in your face. That being said, I liked it a lot, and will enjoy it again tomorrow. Overall awesome ice cream experience. The ice cream is pricy but it's super premium, gourmet, and made in small batches which is a refreshing change from store-bought ice cream. It's actually not that pricy if I compare it to going to an ice cream shop and ordering by scoop. You definitely have to try this place! read more

Well seems like I'll be spending my money at Good Karma Creamery when their drops sound tasty. They make different ice creams every week or biweekly and you can order online on Wednesday for pickup the following couple of days. Their store is in a corporate park so it isn't really a store front and you can't walk in to buy ice cream. Nonetheless, the process of buying and obtaining the ice cream is straightforward. The ice cream itself is delicious!!! It's dangerously delicious especially if you like the flavors of the week. The ice cream is creamy and the mix ins are plentiful. The bind they use has guar gum which can cause bloating for certain people. Must try ice cream! read more

I made it!! I finally was able to try their ice cream! I signed up via their mailing list/text. Every Wednesday they will post their new flavors. You will get a text a few minutes before 7pm. You better have your fingers ready to order - they sell out within seconds!!! FOR REAL-FOR REAL...within seconds!! Pick flavors, pay for your order and pick a date/time for pick up. The flavors I picked were sweet potato casserole and vanilla bean. The packaging is absolutely adorable! The SPC wasn't bad...the marshmallow and pecans gave it more flavor. The vanilla bean was delicious - yum! Both batch were so creamy and smooth - not gritty like the mass production brands. Location is easy to find - plenty of parking. I can't wait to try their chocolate flavor! PS...no walk up buys. read more

I've been lucky to try a variety of the offerings from Good Karma Creamery, and I'm always seriously impressed. Their small-batch, from-scratch ice cream screams quality, and you can tell there's real passion and creativity behind it. The balance of a super-creamy base with generous, homemade mix-ins makes every bite feel intentional and perfectly crafted. This is the kind of ice cream that keeps you coming back for whatever flavor they dream up next. read more

Ice cream is one of my favorite foods. I saw a local content creator talk about this company and I knew I had to try it. Their business model is genius, order ahead and pick up, no walk ins. On the flip side they sell out fast! Sign up for their reminder list and know what flavors you want. We scored the two we wanted, fall breakfast and bourbon toffee pecan pie. The flavors are incredible. My husband said it was his favorite "butter pecan" ever. Parking is very convenient at their pick up location and the owner is very kind. read more

We think this is better than the nationally ranked place we love in Boston, Toscanni's. There are delicious and innovative flavors, but that is affected by your own tastes, so we tried a comparative of their plain vanilla bean with 4 friends. Good Karma won on the quality of the ice cream alone. They just need to ramp up production because you have to get it on the minute it opens up online. read more

The shop and owners were nothing less than delightful. Super clean store front and friendly folks. Our family of three, shockingly, were not big fans of the ice cream. We got a Dec. six pack and they were so sweet we could not stomach them after a bite or two-a major bummer because toppings and chunks are our jam in ice cream. These did not feel balanced. There was a salty taste beyond pleasant for us in all the flavors as well and all of us are major salt fans. This product is very thoughtfully crafted so we were disappointed we did not enjoy these. read more
