Went here expecting a premium coffee experience but coffee was mediocre at best. Slightly oxidized and maybe beans with some defects. Not worth premium price they charge, but may give another chance to see if they can improve. Hoping it improves. read more

Tucked away, this is what Yelp is great for. Definitely hidden gem of a coffee shop. They roast, and can tell you more than I need to know about the flavor profiles. But their passion for coffee comes through in the product...Best espresso drinks in the area. read more

Objectively excellent coffee. The inside of the shop is the lovely combination of brewed coffee smells and roasting smells.Busy wonderful staff and quick service. Would've loved to hang out, but when I was last there (May 2024) they had only benches and no tables. read more

no frills coffee shop without a seating area but a master of their craft. really enjoyed my cappuccino. make their own roasts and beans are available to take home. also offer small selection of pastry. service was great read more

Excellent coffee and friendly service. Baked goods are fresh and tasty too. Just wish it was open everyday!

Good coffee, kind and accommodating baristas, warm cafe decor stuck in the 2000s (which I LOVE - this is exactly what I want from a little coffee shop). Sometimes I wish they were open later in the afternoon so I could take my late-to-rise grandpa here, but I'll be back! read more

This place is such a hole in the wall positioned next to a dance studio. It's great coffee and a secret local spot. If you like coffee, this is a must try! read more

Their skinny vanilla latte with oat milk is absolutely amazing!!!! Like it's unbelievably good! My wife and I look forward to going for weeks because we drive 30mins from waltham for it. I'm hesitant to recommend this place bc it's soo good and don't want lines to get bigger but they deserve the shout out. Already looking forward to going back! read more

This place is our local secret. Don't go there. It's awful. You'll hate it Whatever you do don't order a hot latte, extra shot, whole milk, 3 stevia. read more

Coffee and a few pasties both where tasty. service was polite and friendly. Big inside

First time here from out of town. I'm for Portland OR, got an 8oz cappuccino. The flavor of the espresso was delicious, the best I've had in Sudbury by far. This was exactly the kind of specialty coffee I was looking for. The layout inside was a little scuffed, could be a lot better, also not sure what's with the noon closing time. seems so short for a rural coffee shop. Subury Coffeeworks has people in it well past lunch time, but i suppose thats because they have food. All of that said 5 stars for pulling me a great shot of espresso with a line out the door on a Monday at 11:30pm. read more

Delicious coffee and kind servers at karma where freshly roasted beans make for wonderful at home coffee! Dave is a fantastic person and despite the impact of the pandemic has managed to continue to stay our favorite local coffee roaster read more

I lived in Seattle for several years and fell in love with good coffee. Coffee has become a big part of our day. When I travel, I'm often disappointed by the lattes many highly rated coffee shops pull. So many are too hot, too milky, etc. I'm sitting here sipping a 3 shot latte and - mind blown. So great. This place is tucked away a little but such a great place. I will be back!!! read more

I'll admit it, I'm a coffee snob. I don't say it with pride, more with resolve. Karma coffee is a coffee snob's dream, but it comes without the snobbery. The people here are kind and the shop is run well with great adherence to COVID protocols. This isn't a Dunkin, and you're going to pay a lot more for a cup of coffee, but in my opinion, it's well worth it! Tucked off of the road (look for the Papa Ginos and the small Karma Coffee sign to lead you to the back parking lot), this unassuming shop is mostly a roastery that doubles as an excellent coffee joint. We grabbed a cold brew and an iced latte and were thrilled with the high quality of the coffee. Smooth and not overly acidic, both the cold brew and the latte had some wonderful flavor notes and the beans didn't taste burnt. You can tell that Karma is roasting beans right. Give them a shot, you won't regret it! read more

The staff at Karma Coffee are very friendly and knowledgeable. I am very happy to have found them, and plan to continue to buy their products. They are well organized and very clean. read more

Used to be my go-to for coffee, but they no longer make espresso based drinks.... I'll be back when they are no longer drip only

I purchased a bag of Karma's beans and had some basic questions about the product and the roasting style, since it wasn't at all what I was expected. Specifically, I purchased a single origin Guatemala and found it to be a very dark espresso-style roast, not geared toward drip brewing (or "sweet citrus, milk chocolate body" notes as per their website). Sent them a message via Facebook as politely as possible about what to expect from that particular roast, and any brewing suggestions or other varietals that I should try. Was disappointed to find my message promptly read and ignored. I know this is a harsh review, but there are so many independent roasters in the area that pride themselves on the way they engage with their customers, and I have seen so firsthand. In fact, without that effort, there's very little to separate small roasters from the large-scale operations that are constantly threatening to take over. For this reason, I would direct my business elsewhere. read more

Cute coffee shop with some pastries also available. Hot and iced coffee and tea. Comfy couches and chairs inside or outside seating. read more

See all

Best coffee and the friendliest staff in the Sudbury area. They have single origin coffees from many different regions across the world, each distinctive. Never bitter, they do an outstanding job roasting on premises. Highly recommended! read more

Coffee is great but be sure to STEP UP when entering. I took a real mean toss last week! read more

This is the best coffee I have ever had. I love the business, I love the owner, and I love the coffee.

I have been going here' basically since they opened and I usually love Karma. But my experience this week was not as good. I bought 2 pounds of coffee, Brazil Legender Peaberry and Ethiopia Sidamo Ardi. I was told they were lighter to medium roasts, which is what I want. Especially in the Ethiopian bean. Both roasts were dark and oily. What a sin to do that to those wonderful beans. Also a waste of $40. read more

These folks do an amazing job in here. Unfortunately I don't think I can go back to mainstream coffee ever again. Everyone is always pleasant and they have done an incredible job keeping safe during the pandemic. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing espresso- got the cappuccino and it reminded me of Europe. I will be stopping by anytime I'm in Sudbury.

This place is amazing! My friend brought us here after brunch, because we definitely did not have enough coffee at brunch. I got a latte, and because it was our first time there, it was free! It inspired me to buy some beans to bring home to my Mum, so that she could experience how wonderful Karma is as well. It was one of the first warm days of the spring, so we sat outside and drank our coffees. Mine was honestly perfect - I wish every cup of coffee that I had tasted as robust, sweet, and nutty. My friend accidentally left her purse there, and when we got home and called them, they had already safeguarded it and held it for her until she got back. Very kind peeps, and all around awesome experience! read more

Great coffee and very good banana walnut chocolate bread when available. They are still doing one party at a time for covid concerns, so expect a line most mornings. read more

The good news -- fresh brewed individualized iced tea and it is perfection :) The bad news -- it is 35 minutes away and I can not justify the gas expense :( read more

Good coffee. Hours are limited. Seems friendly enough and has a lot of parking space

Simply THE BEST coffee to be had in Boston Metro West. Karma's artisanal blends of coffee are beyond the norm and other brands simply don't hold a candle to their robust aromas and flavors. And the experience at the roaster is beyond compare. Their menu is simple, but complete at the same time and I assume meets the palate of serious coffee drinkers - no artificial, seasonal flavors here nor any of the "concoctions" offered at other shops. Simply a celebration of the glorious coffee bean and all the flavors and pleasure it brings one. Oh, and you can find Karma Coffee at select Whole Foods locations if you can't get to their cafe. read more

Easily the best coffee in the area, a 5+ star rating. If you love coffee (hot or cold) this is a must for you. There are tons of options from around the world and the people are very welcoming and helpful when making a choice. The only thing is they're well hidden in the back of the parking lot so trust your GPS and enjoy! read more

Super amazing coffee. It's now difficult to drink anything else. Service is great!!! Always friendly and helpful

This is hands down the best cold brewed iced coffee I've ever had. Its magic. The staff is friendly and it's very clean inside too. You would never know this spot existed - the only signage is a small folding type sign off route 20. Don't miss out. read more

Really delightful spot! I've been by twice in the past week. Both times got a latte, first tome with almond milk, second time with oat milk. The espresso is delicious but a darker roast than I typically drink, so the oat milk was phenomenal! Prices are also good and the ambience was great too. read more

Karma Coffee Roasters - Oat milk latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sudbury, Massachusetts

Well I used to be able to get two small cups of coffee when I bought 4 pounds of coffee beans to go (spending $70!) but today I am informed that I can only get one for my husband. Seems like a really petty thing to withhold from a longtime customer. Does the owner of Karma (who I've spoken to before in person, 4 years ago when he recommended a really awesome coffee grinder) know that the staff is doing this? If I had bought two pounds of beans, and then my husband bought two pounds then I guess I would have been offered a free 8 ounce cup of hot coffee too. Sad that times have changed at Karma. Also one other thing of note, when I bought beans when I first started coming here 5 years ago, they would OFFER me the free 8 ounce cup of coffee, now you have to ASK for it. read more

Love this place. It isn't a fantastic spot to hang out for a while with your laptop or to have a business meeting (they could easily expand and improve the seating area, if they wanted), but this place is all about great coffee. If you are a coffee junkie, you need to go here. read more

Quality coffee, friendly people, good stuff. Great place to meet and chat, not the best to sit and work due to limited seating options. Pricey but very good quality. Turn in where you see Papa Gino's, across from Soul of India. read more

Karma Coffee Roasters makes suburban living bearable. A little slice of the big bad city, Karma roasts on-premises some of the finest coffee you'll find in the greater Boston area, and brews up magical beverages just the way you like. Walk in to the quasi-industrial space tucked in behind a Papa Gino's and next to a dance Studio in a blocky, GDR-style building and you are suddenly in a space more reminiscent of a hipster back alley joint than a suburban cafe-cum-roaster. Prices are reasonable. On a recent trip to Karma (I hit it every time I'm back east visiting the mom) there were assorted pastries for sale, various jars of locally made condiments and sauces, just-roasted beans, and, of course, heavenly beverages to enjoy there or on-the-go. David remembers his customers, and if he's not busy, expect him to chat with you a bit. Karma also supplies local restaurants with their beans. There's mail order, too, for those out of state or driving range who want to taste the magic they produce. Karma is, without doubt, the best thing about Sudbury. That and the roving bands of deer that eat everyone's landscaping. read more

If you think third wave coffee sucks, Karma is your place. I love that they haven't given in to fashion, which is at the moment all about bright, acidic, under-roasted coffee - think of Starbucks, then think of what the opposite would be, and that's third wave. Just terrible, putrid stuff. Karma does just what they do: they roast coffee the way they like it, right in between those two places. It isn't for coffee snobs who only want the greenest, not-quite-first-crack coffee in their mugs, but it is for everyone else who just wants a good tasting cup. The espresso is delicious, too! Not acidic or hard to drink, but smooth and honey-like! This is my daily cup of coffee, and has been for the last two years. I am very happy with it. read more

I have a love/hate relationship with this place. It's obvious they're serious about their beans, and have a great selection. They roast their own beans and store them correctly. All good. However, being meticulous about the beans, and then having a high school kid making the espresso left me with a bitter, ugly macchiato. No rosette, but burnt milk slopped with a spoon on top of some poorly pressed espresso. They can do better, and do if there's a barista behind the counter. read more

Excellent coffee. They have many unique selections and flavors that you can't get at the national brands. The people that work there are really passionate about coffee and are very helpful if you need a recommendation on a drink. Minus one star because they are not open on Sunday :( read more
