Carma’s Café


Carma’s Café






This past weekend (March 23, 2012) I finally tried a local Café that I pass by at least once a week (since 2005), Carma’s Café tucked away in Charles Village community. Is Carma’s Café worth a trip to eat and relax with friends?  The simple answer is…. You have to read the whole review.  Carma’s Café is located in Charles Village on 32nd Street between Charles & St Paul closer to the St. Paul Street.  Seating is available outside or inside, it’s a combination for spring/summer/fall evenings you can sit outside enjoy the breeze. Parking is tricky so be prepared to walk. Once inside the lighting is low but comfortable almost like instant relaxation.  The specials are located off to the right and written on plates.  Along with the breakfast menu is on the chalkboard in the center, which includes Icelandic Granola and frittatas.  They offer several delicious beverages from sweet tea, tea lattes, to Hot Chocolate.  

As I stated previously, I finally decided to stop in and try some of their food.  I have always walked by eying the people who ate there, everyone I saw seemed to enjoying themselves. I would be slightly envious because I was always in a rush to work or school to stop and try the food.  I must say, I love excellent customer service. The cashier was friendly and patient with me, while I decided what to order from the menu for at least 5 minutes. I end up ordering the Apple Alexander Sandwich and a side salad (I am a sucker for apples and cheese combos), Sweet tea with a wild berry syrup, a mini black bottom cupcake and a pink Dalmatians cookie. My entire meal was 10.87.

Now to the good part my salad was cool but was lacking some oomph but it's a field salad with one olive. I was not sure if I was supposed to have more than one olive or not. The sandwich was sufficient the sandwich had granny smith apples, honey and Brie melted on ciabatta bread. I would have loved more apples and honey. The sweet tea with wild berry Morin flavor was sweet and good and the wild berry made feel like I was drinking an special made Arizona tea. 

The best part of the meal was the Pink Dalmatian cookie! It was the best part of all good things sweet! The white chocolate chips were huge but played off the tangy flavor of the cranberries. I loved the cookies so much I went back and brought a dozen of Dalmatian cookies and a hot Chocolate. I am not proud to say this I almost ate a dozen cookies in one sitting. Overall, go try the pink Dalmatian cookie it is amazing.  The food is pretty good for a quick evening meal. I enjoyed the atmosphere of Carma’s Café. They also offer breakfast all day and have some vegan friendly options such as the split pea soup.
