We were really excited to try Karma Kolache when they opened and wanted to give them a fair chance, so we visited twice. Unfortunately, both experiences were disappointing.
On our first visit, we asked for our kolaches to be heated, but were told they were already “warm.” They were actually cold. We also felt the drinks were pretty expensive for the portion size compared with other coffee shops. Since they had just opened, we figured maybe it was simply an off day and decided to come back.
Our second visit was worse. As soon as we walked in, I noticed a phone set up recording a social media live. There was no visible signage or notification that customers entering the business were being recorded or livestreamed. That was uncomfortable, especially because some people may not want to appear on someone else’s social media without knowing about it beforehand.
We ordered two kolaches and two drinks. They took my drink order even though they were apparently out of it. They offered something else, but I asked for a refund instead. I had to repeat that I did not want a substitute before the refund was processed. While we were waiting, the employee seemed to be standing around, and after several minutes we finally asked about our second drink. She appeared surprised, almost as though she had forgotten there was another drink on the order.
Unfortunately, the food didn’t make up for the experience either. The spinach kolache tasted off to me, and once again, even though we specifically asked for the kolaches to be warmed, they were not. For the price, the drink portions also feel very small.
We really did want to like this place, which is why we came back after the first experience. But after two visits, the food and service have both been underwhelming. The employee helping us also seemed noticeably unhappy to be there, which made the overall experience feel even less welcoming. Between the service, portion sizes, pricing, and our experiences with the food, we unfortunately don’t feel it’s worth returning when there are other places that offer better value and service.
