Good Karma Cafe

I was staying at the hostel around the corner for 6 days and came here almost every morning for coffee and breakfast. The coffee drinks are delectable and wish I could’ve tried them all. The food is delicious as well. Believe me, you don’t have to be a vegan or vegetarian to seriously enjoy the food and drink at Good Karma Café. This spot has a nice vibe and friendly staff, too. Go check it out now!

The best coffee I’ve had in midcity. When the coffee is this good and they have wifi, nothing else matters. Stop reading and go there now.
Hope you like art and new age stuff, cause there’s lots of it.

In five days I’ve made a special trip here three times. Just a great little café attached to a yoga studio. Had I known there was a studio so close to where I was staying I would have brought my mat/​clothes. I ended up chatting with some of the staff and really wish I’d had the chance to practice with them.
A table or two outside and about ten tables inside the café, decorated with murals and yoga-​related décor. They have fantastic cold brew and I took them up on their offer of homemade almond milk – incredible.
I tried the avocado toast on day one, which was lusciously spread over homemade crusty bread and sprinkled with seasonings. Another time I tried the Buddha bagel, which was incredible. A lighter version than a NY style bagel, with vegan tomato spread, sliced cucumbers, avocado and some other such magic. Divine! I also treated myself to their archangel coffee, which had mocha and coconut milk in it. It lives up to the hype. Such a delightful, creamy treat.

The food was amazing! Even though we showed up at 2:30 and normally serve food in to go packages at that time they knew it was our first time and served us like regular. Have so many vegan options is great fo my boyfriend and I. They could tell we were excited about our choices so they wanted to make our experience special. Next time we’ll get an everything plate. My boyfriend got the burger and I got a tofu wrap.

Get The Everything Plate… your life has just been changed! And yes go ahead and have a smoothie or a fresh pressed juice. Oh yes and don’t feel ashamed to devour a piece of lavender cake, no matter that it’s vegan! Namaste Bitches!

Delicious food — had the sampler which had so many different complex favors. Only feedback was that all of the meal options were not hot.

I really really enjoyed my lunch! I ordered the soup and salad special — very tasty and also at a good price. The sambar soup was so incredibly yummy and healthy — yellow lentils and chock full of vegetables :). We used a Groupon and are from TX in town visiting but the reasonable prices and delicious food are worth coming back for regardless. I also enjoyed the artwork and calm serene atmosphere.

Delicious, reasonable prices and portions, clean and friendly environment, absolutely loved this place! I got avocado toast and a coffee for less than $ 10 ended up taking some Malaysian curry to go, that was delicious as well.

— Only went for coffee, Archangel was great, I loved the atypical ingredients
— Employee told me Howling Moon is the highlight and to make sure to add the coconut (The wife enjoyed the Howling Moon)
— Try to enjoy coffee in house in the mug, some of the goodness is lost in transport, if you get coffee to go

Feeling hungry and want some food that will also make you feel fantastic afterwards? Come here. The everything plate is amazing and could easily be split between two people, or maybe one hungry breastfeeding momma ! Every part of the food was really good, even the salad. The coffee bar selection was awesome, I especially loved that they had almond and coconut milk. On top of all the food and drinks, I knew I would love this place because of the atmosphere. It’s a cozy place inside a yoga studio with gorgeous theme and colors which creates a relaxing and welcoming environment for all.

Delicious vegan food. Very friendly staff. I got special and wholesome juice. Tasted very fresh. Loved the atmosphere, especially the table on the floor with pillows to sit on. Highly recommended. Will be back!

Step inside a magical yoga that manages to also feel like a diverse space welcoming of all energies and humans: (read, not just white upper-​middle class women, not hating on those since I am one but, I try to be «mindful» about my problematic appropriation of Eastern holistic cultures despite my love of their beautiful traditions such as yoga, acupuncture, etc …) Gorgeous décor, a menu that has grown to include a full array of sandwiches, salads, hot plates, breakfast, juices, smoothies, desserts, coffee, and tea!
I tried: the crunchy and creamy upma, curry, salad, energy balls (I had one with cacao, dates, almond butter), their brown rice (fluffy crispy texture who knew this was possible), shakti juice with lemon and turmeric.
This is the kind of food that makes you feel better, satisfied, more like yourself from the inside out. So flavorful and fresh, excellent portions, clearly made with love and care.
Also, floor cushions you can meditate on while waiting for your food. And you can take your shoes off. What else could you want?

The quiet and calm atmosphere makes it so easy to concentrate on the food. This simple yet beautiful space reflects their attitude towards their food. Their carefully cultivated menu covers breakfast and lunch and they are expanding their hours slowly to include dinner some days. I have had juices, coffee, tea, desserts, and most of their sandwiches and entrees. I have enjoyed everything I’ve tried.
Primarily Asian inspired both in the décor and food — it is housed with a yoga studio! — it manages the feel homey rather than strange. The friendly staff and filling food certainly fit in with the New Orleans food culture. Don’t be put off by the vegetarian nature of this place, each meal feels complete. Check out their Facebook page for daily specials.

As much as I try to be critical, I couldn’t think of a reason not to give this place five stars. It’s a bit away from the main attractions in New Orleans, but quite accessible by streetcar and bus. Affiliated with a yoga studio, and you probably will feel inclined to find some hemp to wear and bless the earth mother or something while you’re eating here. They’re very peace-​oriented. You definitely want to eat here though.
It’s got a small rotating menu of all-​vegetarian and mostly vegan dishes, starting with Indian but with other influences in there as well. They do breakfast and lunch, and offer smoothies and baked goods (some gluten-​free) as well as hot entrees. It was good enough that I went for twice, first getting a Malaysian curry for lunch (creamy coconut-​based sauce with vegetables and soy protein over rice; tasty and nice and spicy), and then an upma for breakfast the next day (sort of wheat-​based porridge with vegetables and a delicious coconut chutney). I also got a nut-​based smoothie to go, which really filled me up, which was really important given the rest of my day.
It’s not expensive by New Orleans standards, and it’s one of the few places that offers anything like this type of cuisine. They have a lot of seating, might as well bring everyone you can. Also, free wifi ;)

This was the freshest meal I have had in a really long time. I got the Good Karma plate which had a crisp amazing salad with sprouts, their super savory soup of the day, red bean and potato as the veggie w/​basmati rice and house hibiscus tea. I could actually feel a difference in my energy level and mood. That is how you know the food that you are eating is pleasing to your body.
The café is so cute and spacious. They serve fresh juice which I did not try this time but I certainly will the next time that I go. You can hear the juicer in the back being revved up for every juice order — now that is what I call true juicing! I dislike when an establishment makes «freshly» squeezed juice and pours it out of a pitcher because all kinds of goodness have been oxidized out! A+ on the juicer sounds coming out of the kitchen! This will be a weekly lunch spot for me because it is so close to work, easy to park and so fresh. Yes, indeed!

Had an amazing vegan meal here today for lunch and it was delicious! Their menu is all vegan and their tea and coffee selection is vast and fresh. For my meal I had the curry bowl with brown rice and it was enough food for two, easily. I’ll be enjoying it again for dinner! The tofu used is Indian tofu; I’m not a big tofu person (don’t eat a lot of soy and typically don’t like the texture) but this tofu was perfection because it had texture to it and wasn’t just mush. I also had the herb juice plus ginger and flowering chamomile tea that was great — entertaining and delicious! I will be going back to try other items!

What a blessing! What an oasis in the city.
HIGH VIBRATION FOOD! Such incredible flavor and texture and kindness goes into each dish.
The people making your food are smiling and happy, and when you eat the food you are smiling and happy.
Theres a secret menu item– i believe its called the everything plate? Which as the name suggests is a little taste of everything.
Fresh juices, smoothies, and wholesome vegan foods. The desserts are out of this world.
Such a jewel for New Orleans. Always a beautiful day when we start at good Karma.
Try the chai, complimentary hibiscus tea, and have a slice of heaven.
Say a little prayer and devour this devoted deliciousness.

Yum, yum, yum! Cozy little spot, sort of tucked away on Canal St. Everything is healthy and lovely!

I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for fresh and healthy food. The staff was very friendly and I loved the atmosphere. Good vibes!

Excellent tasty healthy vegan food. The employees are so sweet and helpful. I love the energy here. Can’t wait to try the entire menu! I’m so happy this opened in my favorite yoga studio.
