The first time we visited, the coffee was great and the service was quick, so we were excited to come back. We expected a wait since it was a busy summer Saturday, but we ended up waiting about 50 minutes for just two coffees. No exaggeration. The pickup process seemed very unorganized. In such a crowded shop, it was nearly impossible to hear names being called. Our drinks were sitting on the counter without any name or label, so we had no way of knowing they were ours until I looked over and recognized them. Labeling the cups or attaching the order name would make pickup much easier. It also seemed like only two baristas were working during one of the busiest times of the week, which likely contributed to the long wait. When we finally received our order, one of the drinks was missing the vanilla cold foam that I had paid for. When I mentioned it, I was immediately told it wasn’t on the order instead of having someone check first or apologize. It was eventually corrected, but the interaction could have been handled better. The coffee is genuinely good, which is why we came back, but the organization, staffing, and customer service during busy times definitely need improvement.

Came in for some coffee and a quick bite. Absolutely delicious. Place has a chill vibe. And the almond danish…wow!! Get one to take home for later too!! We will be back as there’s ice cream as well.

Cafe Karma has become one of our regular stops every time we’re out on South Padre Island. It’s the perfect midday pick-me-up or dessert spot. We especially love their affogato — always a treat and something we look forward to each visit. Friendly atmosphere and consistently enjoyable.

We stopped by Cafe Karma early on a Sunday afternoon… the best part of breakfast, a neighborhood band plays pick up music there on Sundays 12-2, worth stopping by for a listen, 1/2 the customers there were locals chillin’ and enjoying the music! The rest of the experience was just OK… Cafe Karma is a coffee/breakfast/light lunch spot, serving coffee, teas, juices, soft drinks, and the like. Food consists of breakfast bakery (muffins, pastries) and cooked items, light snacks like quiche and croissants, and ice cream. We had lattes (per usual). Temp was great but the coffee itself was just OK, not the best. For food we had the turkey quiche and the omelette muffin. The quiche was bland, overcooked. The muffin was much better, and was definitely the better of the two selections. Staff were friendly, service was quick! With all the coffee shop options available in SPI, not sure we’d go back. Do not recommend IMHO…

An excellent way to start the day before heading to the beach! Their coffee is absolutely wonderful. We also nabbed some breakfast sandwiches and crepes, which were also delicious. We had a little bit of a challenging time grabbing seating for our whole group of 5, but we made it work. And I think the kitchen might have been backed up because it took some time for the food to come out. It was worth the wait! All the coffee that came out was great, and the food was yummy.
