"I was overjoyed to discover that a gluten-free coffee shop had opened nearby (in fact, everything here is gluten-free, and free from milk, soy, nuts, and shellfish). Living in Decatur, I have access to various gluten-free options, but aside from one shop that offers a gluten-free selection daily, coffee shops tend to be a source of frustration for me. I’m not sure why I even look at the pastry cases!
Today, I decided to visit Good Karma, eager to enjoy some delicious treats alongside my coffee (other than the protein and granola bars I usually carry in my backpack). The visit was absolutely worth it! This morning, the bakery case featured seven different types of muffins, as well as oatmeal and waffles. Plus, the prices were competitive with other places.
I ordered a chai latte and a cranberry orange muffin, and both were fantastic! Chai latte is one of my go-to drinks, so I always try it when I explore a new coffee shop. This one was flavorful and stood up well against my favorite chai spot. The muffin had an abundance of cranberries, a lovely (but not overpowering) orange flavor, and was wonderfully moist. It could easily be served to anyone without them realizing it was gluten-free—unfortunately, I ate it too quickly to snap a photo!
It seems I've found a new coffee spot. Judging by the crowd, I’m not the only one enjoying it. I noticed a woman next to me clapping her hands like a child when she took a bite of her iced lemon pancake, and I completely understood her excitement!"
