    Late morning stop for breakfast snacks, Mrs, K. enjoyed a latte and a croissant sandwich this…read moremorning. I wasn't hungry at this point which was a bummer as the pastries looks great. Service was very pleasant and friendly. While waiting for the food and beverage, a wander through the attached boutique was enjoyed. Lots of interesting stuff but none of it shouting "Buy me!" today. Inside and outside seating. Wifi, power outlets and a comfortable space. This is enjoyable. [Review 2287 of 2024 - 247 in Alabama - 23302 overall]

There is a little bit of really great seating in the front. A big comfortable couch, a good selection of foods, and a cool vibe. It looks like the kind of place you'd want to come hang out for a bit, even though there's not a ton of seating. I did notice they had fresh wraps as a lunch option with a good selection of chips, and everything looked delicious. Second, the bad: The place doesn't smell like coffee. Mind you, I was only the second customer of the day. But you know when you walk into a great coffee shop, and the smell of good coffee hits you in the face? Yeah, they don't have this. Which means this... most people will like their coffee just fine (we had mochas, so that's really all I can speak to). It's a little sweet, but the flavor is fine. But my mocha doesn't taste like coffee. It tasted like hot chocolate. And it's disappointing to seek out (and pay $5 for) coffee that doesn't taste like coffee. A mocha should have primarily a coffee taste with the mocha second. Again, most people will like this place. But for those of you who really care about coffee, you might want to drive on into Birmingham and try your luck there.

It's easy to miss from the outside, but totally worth a visit! The inside is dimly lit, cool, and comfortable. It's not a huge space but arrayed such that one could easily have enough room between themselves and other patrons if privacy was desired. They have lots of super cute knick knacks and an impressive selection of teas. They also have a stage for open mic nights or small musical acts. Seems like a cool space to hang out! Service was the best part. The woman who took my order welcomed me in, helped me select a beverage, and made polite conversation with me while she prepared my drink. She was just so warm, welcoming, affirming, and kind. I felt right at home. Somewhat embarrassingly, I'm far enough removed from the experience that I don't remember exactly what I got. I asked the employee what her favorite specialty drink was and ordered that. In my head, I believe it was something involving cinnamon and white chocolate, but I'm not positive. At any rate, it was a solid drink. I do remember the white chocolate element having a slightly chemical-y aftertaste, which is unfortunately common with white chocolate syrups - or so I feel. Still, it was a solid enough drink that I liked. I'd like to try other menu offerings in the future if the opportunity arises. Definitely recommend for lovely service and a positive environment!

I was glad to try it on this visit. It's impressively large inside and so there's tons of space to spread out so you can have peace and quiet to work or read or space to gather with friends. It was fairly empty and quiet when I visited but it was later in the afternoon for a coffee. They also have a small selection of goods that would make nice gifts, such as tea bags and honey. The employee working was very nice and we chatted a little about the new specialty drink she was workshopping. The drink menu is creative and has a lot of different options. They also have sandwiches and other light lunch options. I asked her what her favorite drink was and she said she liked the honeybee latte (espresso with vanilla syrup and honey) extra sweet. I replied that I like a little coffee in my dessert and asked her to make me one. It was out quickly and looked yummy - maybe a tiny bit small for the price but nothing egregious. Overall, I liked the drink. The ground cinnamon on top was a nice touch. I'm glad she made it extra sweet because regular might not have been quite enough for me. I did think the vanilla had a slightly artificial taste to it that I didn't love, but it also wasn't egregious. I'd probably try a different latte if I return just to explore the other options and see if I found one I liked better, but again, overall, I was satisfied with my experience. This place is worth a visit if you're needing caffeine or a good place to hang out in the area.

    This place was my choice to grab a coffee from on my wait out of Cullman after a short visit. It…read morewas solid! The interior is decorated really nicely, kind of cool and funky vibes with a surprising amount of space available to hang out. Cute merchandise for sale too. I had a little bit of trouble finding the menu but eventually found it on a paper card placed somewhat inconspicuously near the register. I was only interested in coffee but they have a decent selection of cafe-type food and other beverages. They have seasonal specials and more standard, always-available house specials. I selected one of these and got a small iced Turtle latte, which had chocolate, caramel, and praline flavors. I thought service was a little standoffish and put-upon seeming, but I wouldn't say they were rude; just not super welcoming. My drink was made and served quickly and I got back on the road. The drink was good! Nice balance of ice to liquid and a yummy, sweet, rich turtle flavor. There was a slight artificially nutty aftertaste that I'd guess was the praline that I didn't love, but overall this was a solid drink that I'd probably order again. Give them a try if you're in the area.

    We decided to give Karma's Coffee another shot, but unfortunately, it was pretty much the same as…read morebefore. The staff still seemed irritable and not friendly, which again made us feel more like an inconvenience than customers. We had to ask multiple times about our drinks and food, which was frustrating. Again, the HIGH prices... On the bright side, there's a nice bookish vibe that gives it that cozy feel. With the exposed bricks/ductwork, mismatched secondhand furniture, and a small selection of books, it does seem like a good spot to relax and chat with friends... Still, I'll be looking for a different coffee place next time! Somewhere the employees attitudes match the chill atmosphere.
