Coffee in the United States is served by three kinds of places: national chains with drive-thrus and mobile ordering, independent neighborhood cafes that double as a workspace or a meeting spot, and specialty shops that roast their own beans or buy single-origin lots and brew them by pour-over, espresso or cold brew. Most open between 6 and 7 a.m. on weekdays, slightly later on weekends, and the busiest hour is the commute rush before 9. A drip coffee runs a few dollars, espresso drinks and specialty pours more, and tipping a dollar or a percentage on the card reader is customary but not required. Nearly every cafe offers free Wi-Fi, though some limit laptop seating at peak times or on weekends, and outlets are often the scarce resource.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 8 am–7 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. No phone number is listed for this business, so the Google Maps link on this page is the best route for directions and any contact details Google has on file. More information is available on its website, karmacream.com.

Customers rate it 4.6 out of 5 on Google across 1,162 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded coffee shops in Gainesville.

Gainesville is in Florida, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Gainesville follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Unbelievable. My wife is lactose intolerant and she never gets to have variety in her ice cream or baked goods. This place shocked us. Usually I avoid vegan, but I am definitely am coming back. We got the matcha latte and the maple chai donut as well as the cold brew and the magic bar ice cream flavors, no complaints 👌🏻 Great atmosphere and service as well ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Always a great experience! Alpha Gal allergy safe food too a plus! Friendly personable staff and food is prepared fresh! I had the vegan Rueben for the second time and it was delicious again!

I came to Karma Cream after a trail walk with a friend and she suggested we stop here, and I’m so glad we did. I’ve only ever come for the ice cream before, but this time I tried the ceremonial matcha with oat milk and the Turkey Pesto Sandwich, and wow… I was genuinely impressed. I’m not vegan by any means, but I didn’t miss the “real” turkey at all, which completely caught me by surprise. The sandwich was exactly what I was craving: creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The Seitan Turkey, vegan provolone, cilantro walnut pesto, tomato, lettuce, and mayo on multigrain bread came together beautifully. The bread was soft but nicely toasted, and every bite was and satisfying. The matcha was smooth, earthy, and delicious one of the best I’ve had in Gainesville. Even though the place was packed, the staff was quick, kind, and on top of everything. Overall, such a great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back for more than just ice cream from now on.

Decent spot with room for improvement. Karma Cream is an okay place overall, and I can see why people like it. The location is great -- easy to get to, walkable, and the inside is a pleasant spot to sit, get some work done, or meet up with friends. The vibe is a strong point. The food and ice cream are fine, though I personally find them a bit too sweet. Nothing bad, just not very balanced in flavor. As a tea drinker, the drinks are where I feel most underwhelmed. The tea tends to be over-steeped, and the chai in particular is extremely over-spiced. I could practically feel the cinnamon permeate my soul -- it’s intense but still just drinkable. It’s not a bad place, and I wouldn’t mind coming back for the atmosphere. With a few tweaks to sweetness and tea preparation, it could easily move up in rating.
