    Karma is a cool spot for food, drinks, and vibes. It's an interesting place to walk into the first time - lots to look at. I got a latte and panini - both decent picks. I'd be interested in coming back.

    If I'm gonna pay 11$ for a smoothie the place better be decorated like this. If I talked to girls I would for sure bring them here as a little whimsical spot and they would think I'm so cool

    First timer here. Two reasons for me to be here. Avocado Toast & a trip down hippie lane. (Two types of trips you could probably have if you stare into the twinkling faerie lights too long). Some would call this place dated & cluttered. Yep, but sitting here surrounded by amazing eye candy I half expected the ghost of Haight Ashbury past, a young barefoot woman with flowers in her hair. You don't get this vibe at Starbucks. I don't drink coffee which is a shame given their creative offerings. If you choose to nurse a lavender latte all day, they've got WiFi, & a small windowless loft area to disappear into. Not to worry, plenty of seating. Wait, there's even a small printer by the entrance! Mugs, water bottles, jewelry, T-shirts for sale. A wall of framed dog photos. Don't know if the PAC Man machine works. You really have to see for yourself. I think the Jimi Hendrix painting is telepathically asking if I've ever been experienced. So big surprise, I ordered the Avocado Toast & a London Fog sans vanilla. Such a nice guy at the corner, bonus points he has a sense of humor. They actually toasted the bread, topped with a generous spread of creamy goodness & perfectly fried egg, meaning it didn't drip down onto my hand. On top was dressed greens piled high. Being breakfast time I wasn't in the mood for salad, so cast aside the top layer, all the better to eat with my hands. Looks like they package everything in paper to/go containers. 5 star morning. Support Local!

    this cafe has such an interesting vibe! lots of astrological/ witchcore decor and elements, and their menu is huge (even the monthly specials). I went with the coconut hazelnut latte with oat milk ($7.32 post-tax) and it was pretty good. not a huge fan of acidic coffees and this one was, but the syrup balanced it out. not much coconut taste though

    This is a uniquely decorated gem! Every inch of this place was filled with cute details literally all the way to the next level. I will say, the ube latte was good but not my most favorite. They do have a big menu of unique combo flavors that I definitely have to revisit to try though. I'd also want to check out their food items too because it literally smells like yummy breakfast as you walk in. Service was quick and friendly. Located near Panhandle park, they're a great option for a little latte walk!

    The inside is BEAUTIFUL! i love the maximalist style. the menu is huge , lots of fresh pastries. we got the lemon blueberry loaf & the dark chocolate loaf. both were amazing. my bagel was called the anytime bagel, i got it without tomato and was blown away. i love arugula & spicy things ... the cucumbers were such a great combo because the jalapeños were definitely real in that cream cheese! to drink i got a pink pony club shaker & it was so refreshing. I will 1000000% be back!

    Strawberry Matcha ube Latte
    Chloe K.

    I was looking forward to getting some coffee and the review pictures looked delicious. With all the special order options i chose an ube latte. Don't get me wrong it tastes heavily like ube.. with minimal coffee. My sister got a strawberry matcha, she was very disappointed. The matcha turned brown when she mixed it with the strawberry. She said it's the worst matcha she has ever had. Other than that the service was good and fast and it was very ambient inside.

    Chicken Salad Spinach Wrap
    Ny H.

    Quirky little corner cafe that a client who lives nearby recommended. Very dog friendly (love). I ordered the Chicken Salad wrap and it was very very good. Came out warm and chicken salad was cold, everything inside was tasty. I will definitely return and try other food items!

    This is a cafe that really cares about its customer's experience! There were so many considerate additions to this cafe I really appreciate, and it made it really inviting to come back to. The decor is definitely over the top in a quirky way, from the wall of dog photos to the plethora of hanging floral strings on the ceiling. Pros: - Huge menu! Lots of fun flavored drinks if you're into that, and prices are very reasonable. Lattes start at 2 shots each! - I really enjoyed my Lox bagel too, so the food menu seems good as well. - Free wifi!! Seating!! Cannot emphasize this enough. - Bathroom, free samples, hot sauce bar, public mini book offering, printer with envelopes and stamps for sale, etc! The only con I can think of is that there are limited windows, so the upstairs seating can feel a bit dark. This overall seems like a really awesome neighborhood cafe with good vibes. Will definitely be coming back to work and chill w friends :)

    Cappuccino and bagel bite
    Sahar N.

    Very unique spot! The decor alone just made me want to visit! Delicious coffee and the yummiest treats! I paired a cappuccino and a stuffed bagel bite and it was PERFECT. They have season drinks as well which is a must try! Lots of themes given the time of year. Fantastic service and cozy to work from.

    I always love going to Karma Cafe, it has such a cute vibe, I feel like I can always get out of my own head and admire all of the cute art and decor around me. The food and pastries are always pretty good, I enjoy it a lot when I need a quick snack. Everyone who works there is so sweet, my friend didn't like her drink and they so kindly fixed it. I always feel bad doing something like that but the staff were amazing. Always a go-to spot for me

    Found this cafe by chance when my partner and I happened to be in the area running an errand. What a gem to find! It was an hour before closing and not too busy. There are many options for coffee drinks, smoothies, and food so it took us some time to order and the staff were patient. I ordered the "coconut coconut latte" and everything bagel bite. The latte was sweet and the bagel bite complimented it well! The decorations here are worth the visit alone (they had decorated for the 4th of July). Looking forward to seeing how the decor changes throughout the seasons!

In researching places near where we were staying, we learned about the Italian deli and shop. We were looking forward to stopping by to check out the store and grab lunch. The store itself is very cute and charming, full of so many items - fresh meats and cheeses, imported olive oils, pastas, desserts, wine, and liquor to name a few. There is an area where you can get coffee drinks and there is a deli area for ordering sandwiches, pizzas, specialty dishes, and salads. The variety of options is plentiful. I ordered an iced coffee beverage, which was great. My significant other and I ordered a sandwich to go, which we were splitting for a light lunch back at the hotel. The person helping at the counter was not very friendly or helpful with questions. We asked for our sandwich to be made on the Dutch Crunch bread, as we were looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, when we got back to the hotel, it turned out that the sandwich was made on a regular ciabatta roll, which was not fresh. Additionally, the sandwich was mostly mixed greens. For the price, I expected more meat. With so many great food options in San Francisco, it is likely we won't stop by on future visits to the City.

So much I was worried the ratio would be off. Told a friend that I didn't think it would be good. It would just taste like meat. I was wrong. Coleslaw wasn't too creamy or too sweet. Just right. Only thing I would change is asking for more peppers, they were so good so bright. Waffle Fries were great waffle fries, but the Mick Sauce was beyond great. To me it was like the best tartar sauce I've ever had. Maybe better. I would probably get an extra Mick Sauce and use it on my Sandwich. Friend got the Bradly and gave it top marks. All three meat flavors came through, jalapeños had great flavor that added to the sandwich. It's not cheap, but it's damn good. Be prepared to wait in line. I arrived around 1:50 and ordered around 2:20. I'm sure there are busier times. 100 percent worth the wait. They played CAKE and the employees were fantastic.

I ordered the 49er and it just seemed like a greasy goopy mess. It felt like the bread congealed into a mushy paste due to all the dressing and wetness? Also my sandwich was 1000* even after walking back to my car and letting it cool with the wrapper off it was still way to hot to eat for a long while and burnt my mouth. Maybe they intentionally make them super hot to withstand long distance takeout deliveries... I dunno. Plus standing in a long line with a velvet rope baking in the sun, long wait, lack of parking, navigating skuzzy neighborhood to go there (literally saw a guy going #2 on the corner on my way out)... overall I wasn't that impressed with Deli Board compared to all the rave reviews I have heard over the years. SF lacks truly awesome sandwich places so I will give give this another shot and report back with updates, perhaps I hit it on an off day.

Three people working a tight space with three toaster ovens, and everything comes toasted by default. Their DNA is from pizza making, and it shows. The menu has around 40 sandwiches, so I asked the guy behind the counter for his two favorites and started there. The Godfather: Genoa and pepper salami, oven gold turkey, provolone, and garlic spread on Dutch crunch. Great texture, warm from the toaster, and the garlic spread ties it together. A San Francisco classic done right. The San Franpsycho: it normally comes with honey turkey, but they had rotisserie chicken on the spit so I swapped it in. Gouda, bacon, pesto, garlic spread, and remoulade. The pesto comes through right away and the chicken tastes like real rotisserie. Fair warning: it is messy. It drips. Do not eat this in the car. I could not find a clean way to eat it and ended up taking half home to finish. In their defense, I went rogue with the chicken order so that might have messed up the flow. If you're a sandwich person in SF, put this on the list. I'll be back soon.
