  4. Coffee Karma

    Coffee Karma 'Karma, you nuns and monks, are your intentions', so the Buddhist saying goes. Few truly religious folk frequent Karma, but at least the café owner's intentions are pure and simple - thick smoothies, strong coffee and an easygoing air. The intentions of guests are to secure an outdoor table in summer or a low couch behind large bay windows in winter, something that can often prove hard to do.
