THE STEAM wafted toward my face each time I blew into the cup between my palms. “A small latte with lavender and honey, please,” I asked the kind woman at the counter just a few minutes before — my absolute favorite warm drink for chilly, dew-filled mornings and a nice jolt to kickstart the day.
As I sipped, I strolled around the cafe, admiring all the local and health goodies lined along the shelves next to motivational quotes and in front of brightly colored walls.
The space was quaint, with mismatched seats and tables and a cozy place to bring a book or a laptop to spend fading in and out of time.
Deciphering the blackboard menu with its swirls and colors, I noticed the diversity in its choices.
Protein shakes, waffles, bagels, specialty teas, melt-in-your-mouth sandwiches, and soups, whether you prefer breakfast, brunch, or lunch, Good Karma Cafe has an option for you.
The bacon, egg, and cheese bagel sandwich was a nobrainer for me — turkey bacon was the star here and also happened to be the most popular item for customers. It consisted of warm fillings contained within a soft bagel and an excellent choice for travelers visiting this town who only have a little bit of time to grab a bite to eat.
Another contender, very high up on the list, taunting me with its bright red hue and fluffy nature, was the red velvet waffle. Delicately laying on that plate with a light dusting of powdered sugar and a dollop of butter, I enjoyed every last sweet bite. I decided to pair the waffle with what had to have been some of the silkiest scrambled eggs I’ve ever tasted.
Although the food was delicious, the cozy atmosphere and kindness truly drew me in and provided a space comfortable enough to sit and stay awhile. GN
