Cup O’Karma

A cozy atmosphere where I was comfortable to hangout with my son. The beverages were competitively priced and generously sized. The employees were friendly and welcoming.

We ran into this place by accident and decided to treat ourselves to a sweet treat after dinner. The shop was very clean and had a really nice, relaxing atmosphere. We were greeted by Madison (I hope I remembered her name correctly!) and made to feel welcomed. We asked about a couple drinks and ended up learning that they’re actually a non-​profit who help women and their children who’ve suffered from domestic abuse. I think this is an amazing place and a much needed place! Our drinks were delish and the price was way less than expected! We were invited to come back for one of their many nightly events. This place is a little out of the way for us but it’s well worth the drive knowing what their mission is.

Went on a Friday night. There were a couple of musical acts playing and a very good vibe in the place. Quite busy, with many types of people (as diverse as Mesa gets, anyway). Friendly service, too.

Everyone is Friendly and the Atmosphere is Grounding. Quaint and they have bands playing at 7PM during the week.

Cute little place, nice people, good coffee, and they’re committed to a couple of social causes which is great. And good, free wi-​fi. :-)

This is a café with a cause. All the proceeds go to support the National Advocacy & Training Network. You can find out more about this organization here:
. Throw in a caring atmosphere, free Wi-​Fi, comfy chairs and sofas, and some tasty tea, and I’m good to get my work done. Hopefully, they’ll have t-​shirts soon!

The Americano was one of the best I’ve had. Not too harsh but such bold flavor! This is a non profit coffee house that supports the end of violence with women. Will absolutely be frequenting this coffee shop!

Wifi didn’t work for me – not sure if it was me or the wifi, though. The barista was friendly and tried to help, but we couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Though I’d love to give them another try, the risk of wifi not working when I need it to get work done has deterred me from coming back =/

At 8:40 am after dropping the hubby off at MCC for class across the street, I was just looking for a place to chill for an hour. I saw the big «COFFEE» sign from Southern and thought Eureka! Uh, they were closed. The door and windows outside display a lot but not their hours of business and Unilocal claims that this place opens at 7am (as they should, if not earlier with it being a coffee establishment).
Waiting outside confused, another customer approaches the door and I decided to ask him if he had been here before. He hadn’t, and we noticed people inside. I knocked and waved an employee over who told us that they don’t open until 9am. Well, my fellow coffee consumer left for Starbucks and I nearly went with him. I only stayed because I wanted to write this review.
Coffee isn’t that great anyway, but that’s the only thing I purchased. They won’t serve it to you by French press either.
One last thing: the gal who served me was polite but uninformed. She didn’t know how much a coffee refill was and had to ask the older gal working. (Refills are ½ the $ of your drink, btw…) The older lady decided to pour my coffee while the other took my payment but interrupted her twice asking how I take my coffee. She could have just looked at me and asked, instead of insisting that she tell her that I take it just black. Lady left plenty of room for cream regardless.
Karma’s a B sometimes.

Nice cozy place with good coffee and friendly employees. What I like best is that the music is kept at a low enough volume to relax, unlike so many other noisy places. Spotless restroom, easy parking. Good cause.

I like that they raise money for charity.

Definitely a good cause. Coffee and service can be a hit or miss depending on the person behind the counter. The mochalicious is amazing. Certain nights they have live entertainment which can be a really fun experience with friends. Wifi sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t, but there are interesting magazines and a couple books to look at so if you’re killing time before class or work you won’t be bored.

A delightful enough experience at a delightful enough location. It’s kind of out of the way, but it’s got a good cause, so I don’t mind.
Cup O’Karma is a simple little coffee shop just off of Southern near Target, west of Longmore. It’s tucked back in a quiet little strip mall and it pretty unassuming – the sign on the building simply says «Coffee Shop.»
Inside, there are a few tables of various sizes, and a couple of boards with their offerings. As a non-​coffee drinker, I’m more interested in fruity drinks that seem to be ubiquitous in these parts at this time of the year. I don’t do tea, so it was decided that a caramel vanilla shake was in order.
Hand scooped ice cream (big plus) and a swirl of caramel and I was on my way. The big draw here was really the free wifi. It wasn’t blazing fast, but didn’t frustrate me either. Middle of the road; ask the barista for the username and password.
The restroom was tidy, and the place was pretty quiet. The gal behind the counter was new, and was being trained by the boss who was there walking her through the ropes. She runs a tight ship here – everything has a very specific procedure, and I was happy to see that cleaning and menu precision is high on the list.
They do entertainment throughout the month – music, open mic, poetry, etc. There’s a stage that tucks away, and I had to leave before open mic night started.
As for the cause, a portion of your purchase goes towards helping people recover from domestic abuse. I don’t know much more about it, but there are pics under the glass in the table and more information there about how to help out. I figure if you can sip your shake and help out your fellow human, you’re probably doing something right.

Good. Nice people. User friendly. Had A lunch meeting there. Staff was good to us. Nice and clean. Easy parking. Easy in and out.

Was there Saturday Night to listen to a friend play his Music. I have been there a few times. The staff is always friendly and they serve a great cup of coffee. I drank the Latte and was warned that the four I had could cause me to lose sleep well they were right I did but I will be back to enjoy at least one more or four.

Love this place! Warm & inviting. The staff who are volunteers are the sweetest people, very welcoming. The coffee is Yummy! I love hot mocha’s and they use Ghiradelli chocolate!

Great coffee, clean environment, good service & laid back atmosphere.
The best thing about this place is the cause, this is a non-​profit coffee house that helps women & families recover from domestic violent abusive past relationships. They do this by helping women gain their independence to live a life free from violence.
If you’re searching for a local coffee house, stop in & drink coffee for a cause.

We went to see a comedy show, but we loved the place. It has a great emphasis, helping those who have been affected by abuse. And the service and offerings are outstanding. I tried my hubby’s smoothie… MmmMmmmm. My green tea was great, and they have sugar in the raw, which I prefer! A great place to see comedy or hear poetry and relax on an inexpensive date while helping others! Win-​win-​WIN!

What a great place and a great cause. I went there last night for Comedy Open Mic. The comedians were running there new stuff by us and it was great.
My wife had a Iced Green Tea and I had the Pacific Northwest smoothie which was out of this world good and reminded me of Oregon. This place would rock in Oregon.
