I have been going to Karma road for a long time and their food and service is amazing. One time I had a chocolate coconut shake that had little bits of shell in it. I called them and let them know, not expecting anything in return (It was perfectly edible). The next time I went in the owner, Seth, gave me a free shake even though the price had gone up. They are super friendly and non-intimidating for the non-veggie crowd. All around GREAT food and experience.
Good place, but be aware, soMetimes they warm up the food in the microwave!
Please stay open at least until 8pm. So we can enjoy your delicious food as dinner after work. Hope is possible!
Amazing salads and sandwiches. The soups are usually tasty with a strong dill accent. Great vegan grub in a utilitarian spot.
Every time I visit home, I need to stop in here.They have my favorite sandwich of all time: TLT - Tempeh Lettuce Tomato (They also make a breakfast version of it with tofu scramble).So much flavor in every single bite with the crunch of the lettuce, the thickness of the tomato, the softness of the bread, and the flavor of the bacon tempeh...you simply can’t beat it.As vast and densely populated with restaurants as the Big Apple is, I haven’t been able to find a TLT like it.
Loved finding a vegan stop for lunch when visiting friends in nearby Rhinebeck. I ordered the pizza, which was yummy but not at all a pizza but more like a bowl. I would go again and maybe try something else.
Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious vegan food.Definitely spreading the word about this place
Absolutely incredible!! Had the bodacious burrito and my partner had the TLT, both were delicious. The bodacious burrito is large and filling - could be good for 2 people or one especially hungry person :)Definitely eager to try more dishes the next time we’re in town. Thank you!
Absolutely wonderful, food, sweet treats, and coffee! A must visit if youre in the area. A very warm and comfortable environment. Staff was super friendly. All their Vegan food is so good!
Got take away on our way up. They took info and we paid via Square on the phone. Burrito was bigger and,better than I expected. Pickup was easy, well worth it for Vegetarian Fare.
The tofu BLT sandwich was SO GOOD! And the mango berry smoothie was delicious and filling. YUM! ☺️😋🤤
I was so excited about this restaurant and looked forward to eating here. I called to place and order and asked specifically about Gluten Free options. The gentleman walked me through what was available and I ordered a gluten free sandwich and cookie. Due to COVID, everything is take-out. I picked up my order and walked to meet my family. I opened up my sandwich and began eating it. I started getting sick and looked more closely at the sandwich and realized it was regular bread. I immediately called and told them I thought I had a regular sandwich. At first the man thought I was mistaken but then realized I was correct - I had sandwich bread and the gluten free option is a wrap. He immediately remade my sandwich but the damage had already been done.The sandwich was really good - I fed my first sandwich it to my daughters who are not gluten free - they highly recommend it. My GF cookie was very good too. I would recommend this restaurant but be very careful if you are gluten free and triple check what you receive.
The place has cob webs and dust bunnys everywhere. We waited 30 min after being told 15 min only to find out they put out food outside on a rack... the outside seating in near the dumpsters...food was lack luster and they used canned sauerkraut. 11.00 for a soggy slice of bread with canned sauerkraut.. never again. The best part of this was helping someone decide not to eat here. FILTHY.
The food is always consistently excellent and the staff is incredibly friendly and lovely. The food is overpriced but its the only vegan show in town so there you are.
Delish! Friendly, fresh vegan food. The Avocado Explosion sandwich was perfect for lunch!
Stopped by to grab some breakfast. This place is very unique, staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I have a mustard allergy and forgot to mention it until I noticed my dish had some in it. Chef and server immediately offered to make a new dish without it, and were very understanding. Food was delicious, portion was perfect, coffee was fresh. Very much recommended! - note that this is a vegan/vegetarian only place
Karma Road is my favorite place to stop in for a delicious meal and fresh juice. The staff are very friendly and there is always a good selection of vegan foods and snacks.
Bodacious burrito, hybrid burrito and Reuben sandwich so good. Good size. Refreshing mint iced tea and ginger beer.
Delicious vegan food. Im quite a carnivore and felt tricked by my girlfriend when we first walked in and discovered there was no meat on the menu, but Im glad we stayed. The food was very very tasty. And the place has a low key vibe, which I liked too. :)
Great, fresh, healthy food that always has you leaving feeling good and satisfied. Love their freshly made smoothies in the summer and fresh made juices in the mornings. The plate lunch is great for a quick, healthful bite. I bring my dog, she likes to get the sweet potato flax biscuit lol. Great people too!
I feel healthier just stepping into this cafe.I love the fresh array of sides, as well as the coffee options and relatively healthy and filling lunch options.Is my go to place when Im looking for healthy food options in town.
The peanut butter rice bars are my absolute favorite ! Their smoothies rock too! The folks at Karma Road are so accommodating and welcoming!
While I love the thought of a vegetarian deli, karma road fell short for me because of their chaotic service, cramped space, and limited menu.Part deli, part cafe, part smoothie shop, karma road seems to suffer from a bit of an identity crisis.The menu board is poorly organized and difficult to read.The food quality, however, was outstanding. Once you manage to figure out what it is they sell and how to order, youll be rather pleased with what theyre serving up.
Never had a bad meal here! Great place to fuel up if you are going to do a big climbing day, volunteer at an animal sanctuary, or just need a meal after a big hike! Delicious and filling.
My wife and I stop here every time we go hiking in the area. Everything that we have had here is great, but the vegan (and gluten free) pizza is amazinggggg! You have to eat it with a fork and knife, but I actually prefer this pizza to almost any “real pizza” (and I really like pizza!).I think anybody can enjoy this spot whether your a vegetarian or not. ✌️
I love Karma Road! Their food is excellent. When I was first brought there I expected the vegan food to be flavorless, but wow was I wrong! Their dishes are great. They blend all the right spices and seasonings so their meals and dishes are packed with flavor. They make a blackened tofu that you can add to any dish or even to their salads. The blackened tofu is one of my favorites, but their soups and salads are great too. Their Kalacado salad is amazing- if you thought raw kale has no taste then you have to give this a try! Then besides tasting great, turns out they source their ingredients sustainably, locally, and organically! In addition to this, their staff is excellent. Good friendly servers who know exactly what they’re serving and what goes well to match it. This business has a lot of heart and will look out for their customers no matter what. If you’re in New Paltz, give Karma Road a try, you’ll be glad you did!
Excellent vegan food. This is my favorite place to grab breakfast and coffee on the way to climbing (and maybe a sandwich or muffin for lunch). Their breakfast burritos/wraps are really good.The space is nice and sunny, and if youre ever there on a warm afternoon, theres an outdoor deck. No bathroom but you can go to Rock & Snow or the Annex across the street while youre waiting for your food.
Literally soooo good. Im a vegan and an extremely picky eater which doesnt usually work out very well. But I absolutely loved the food I got here. And they make the best soups. I would eat there every day if I lived locally. Makes being vegan easy.
Love this place! great food, nice staff. One of the few all vegan places that exist in the Hudson Valley. I go out of my way to go there.
I ordered Vegan, nut free cupcakes for my sons BD celebration. Kids loved them. Very friendly and accommodating owner and staff. Ill definitely order again.
One of the best vegan food Ive eaten
My favorite place to go when I visit new paltz. I would recommend the Cilmbers plate for breakfast. Especially if youre going to have an active day, it will fill you right up! The staff is always friendly. Their menu changes everyday, but they have blackened tofu pretty often and its amazing. They have pretty good soup and baked goods too. Ive been there more times than I can count and Ive never had a bad experience!
Overpriced vegan friendly food which is not that great. Kale salad was literally just kale and a few nuts. I was hoping for a good mixture because kale by itself is very rough. Tempeh I ordered wasn’t heated through and tasted like warm/cold and I didn’t go back to reheat because they close at 6. The total for two things was over $20! Not sure how much a side of tempeh was but salad was over $10.Not worth the price...
I am somewhat of a connisour of vegan BLTs and I must say, this was the best ide ever had
We were surprised and disappointed to find the food bland and the service slow and aloof. Given the amazing vegan options available nearby, we won’t be back.
Love this place! Friendly vibe, great food and killer smoothies! I go here at least once (often time more) every time Im in New Paltz. Love the climbers plate for bfast and kaleacado with a serving of blackened tofu added to the top for lunch.
If I had wanted to eat limp iceberg lettuce, random bits of kale and sad carrot smeared with tahini dressing, I would have been a happy customer. If Id wanted to eat overly salty, flaccidly uninspiring soup, I would also have been happy. However, I had taken my brother to lunch - his falafel wrap was inedible - and thus I was extremely unhappy and will never return. (Which wont be hard, because Im visiting from Australia.) Deeply resentful doesnt even begin to cover how I feel about paying around $60AU for a lunch that my eight-year-old could have eclipsed using one hand.
No dishware or napkins in carryout, burrito not edible by hand. Designed to take home with your own silverware, not picnic food or for the car. Good otherwise just a disappointing carryout.
Delicious food and a great atmosphere. Employees are very friendly and helpful. Everything on the menu is worth trying. Only reason I am not giving a full 5 stars is that there is no bathroom for customers.
It use to be a great place. After COVID, they have gone down hill. The portions have shrank when you order take out. The service is terrible. The last time I went there, you cant eat inside still.
Delicious vegan food! Great selection and service. Welcoming atmosphere for just drinking a coffee or a whole meal. Prices are a bit high but not excessively so and I find them acceptable for the quality of food and service.
High quality food for very affordable prices. Menu options are so flavorful & delicious that it is easy to forget how healthy & nutritional the ingredients are. Juices are delicious & energizing.When the food selection is not a big enough reason to visit, the friendly attentive staff & welcoming atmosphere really make Karma Road a destination.
One of my favorite places in town. Grabbing a smoothie is a MUST when you visit. Also highly recommend the sweet potato biscuit; get it heated up with the butter and choose the walnut option. Youre welcome.
Totally vegan,the food is fantastic, sweet potato rolls, brussel sprout slaw and the desserts😊. Youll be so happy you stopped.
So great for vegan options - just wish they were open longer hours for post climbing days :)
Cute spot with great food, juice and smoothies. Mostly sweeter than Id prefer (the green juice, smoothie and cakes), Id give 4.5 stars if I could, but the vibe and location and everything else were 5 stars!
So good! Such conscientious staff, great vibe, and wonderfully nutritious options. I love coming here whenever I can. No need to worry about eliminating options when reading the menu, since its ALL vegan!
Top quality food that also happens to be vegan. Anyone would love this food! Great prices and great food, I stop by every time Im in the area!
I’ve been to Karma Road on several occasions throughout the years. I’ve never been disappointed— they are tasty and consistent.
Delicious and fulfilling. I’m not a vegan, but I enjoy their food very much, especially the smoothies! Diverse flavors and textures, very fresh.
Who knew vegans could eat this delicious?!? Highly recommend the sweet potato biscuit toasted with earth balance on it. Worth the 15 min walk from my college campus just for that biscuit.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE (Did I say LOVE?) Karma road! Fresh,organic,delicious food. Vegan/vegetarian. Awesomeness, made with love. Best place in New Paltz to eat. Fabulous owners, and employees. You can always ask for a sample of something to try from the deli case, and their Soup of the Moment is always delicious, and I always buy a couple of large containers to take home and freeze. Many gluten free choices. Their OMG Chocolate cake is OMG delicious, and their muffins are scrumptious! Their sweet potato biscuits are a crowd favorite.Their smoothies are fantastic, and their prices are reasonable! Coming to New Paltz? Stop at Karma Road.
More than just a cafe, Karma Road is a way of life. So you spent the night at snugs, maybe even slept in your car despite the cold mountain air and lack of a blanket. Worry not, karma road is there to fill up your water bottle, provide an outlet to charge your phone, reset your chakras, warm your every precipice, and feed your belly as well as your soul. Till death do us part, karma road.
Delicious food! And no one was hurt. Great service too. They have prepared food, salads soups and sandwiches, smoothies, and baked goods. Can’t go wrong
Small restaurant/deli style store thats got a load of vegan options. Insides are fresh and bright! Food was good and fresh - juices were nice. Muffin was awesome!
I love KR. Im not vegan, not vegetarian, but I am trying to eat a little healthier and KR gives me food that is healthy and delicious. The employees are always friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
I got the kalecado and it was delicious! Massaged kale with avocado throughout. I only wish there were bigger chunks of avocado. I ordered the blackened tofu on top to add some protein.
This was a great find for us. Getting good vegan options while traveling is a delicious surprise. There is so much to choose from and what we picked was very good.
The food was so delicious and had a home made feel. Definitely top vegan food Ive eaten.
Yummy options to choose that can delight any flavor pallet. Had the veggie slaw and roasted cauliflower A+. And the beat carrot apple juice, yummmmo.
Adorable little restaurant and take out food bar restaurant that will always have a special place in my heart. Excellent and extremely healthy food!!! They also make amazing smoothies !
Placed order at 2:15, was told it would be ready in about 15 minutes. At 3 pm, after keeping me waiting outside for 45 minutes, they came out to tell me they were sold out of everything Id ordered. COVID, busy, whatever, theres no excuse for that level of incompetence and disrespect for customers. Never coming here again.
First time eating from Karma Road. I just started a new healthy eating style and they where my first choice to start. I was actually happy of the different tasty choices.They are awesome!!
Good vegan options. A bit too pricey in my opinion for portion size but good nonetheless. I would recommend to Reuben!
Amazing coffee! Friendly service, charming vibe, and real personality. Great for hanging out or getting food/drinks to go.
Got a quick bite to eat while passing through the area. My falafel wrap was small and uninspiring but espresso was good.
The best health food spot in New Paltz. Friendly staff, clean and consistently flavorful food for a price. I eat here often and love the place.
I had the Reuben I would not get again but the sweet potato roll was so delicious. I will be back to try other foods
Good food. The outside seating was nice to keep an eye on our dog in our van. The only thing missing is a restroom.
Easy ordering, pick up, food is delicious my only recommendation, being utensils and napkins!
Great food and atmosphere, I’m not vegan but enjoyed it here very much.
Well, the folks here will not only provide delicious food and beverages. Theyre sincere commitment to vegetarianism fills the atmosphere with kindness.
This place is great. We always eat here when visiting New Paltz and often come just to eat here. weve never been disappointed
Awesome low-key vegan spot with heaping portions perfect after a day of shenanigans in the Shawangunks.
Im not a vegetarian but it was tremendously tasty my sandwich was called Ruben and it was very rude in like but the bread was awesome and it tasted fantastic
Food is good, though a little slow.Atmosphere wonderful. Friendly people.Could use a little more a/c.Ill be back.
Didnt know what to expect from vegan soup without cream. Ended up being the best mushroom soup I ever had.
Extremely delicious food, very nice friendly helpful staff. Will definitely go back when visiting the area😁💖
Loved the falafel wrap. Was like a loaded salad. Great cole slaw and brussels.
Healthy and feeling fresh
Our healthy snack stop. Great smoothies roasted veggies and gluten free options.😁👍
Great food and friendly staff, my girlfriend and I love getting some sandwiches to go for a lunch on our hikes
Amazing vegan food! The sweet potato biscuits toasted with butter are to die for!
Awesome place for the healthiest food on the planet, warm friendly staff and a great setting.
Love their breakfast sandwiches, get the one with bacon sooooo good! 😍
The Avocado Explosion was good.
Only true vegan deli to be found locally. Everything delicious!
Even non vegetarian like myself love Karma Road. The food is super healthy and super tasty.
Overpriced and only moderately tasty. This place appeals to the crunchy crowd, but not my style.
Looooove their food! Recommend the tempeh bacon and tofu scramble sandwich!
Not really my kind of place and the coffee was weak. No restrooms and small tables.
Loved it! the variety and aligned with my dietary needs!
Smoothies there are 10/10. Veggie burger was good not great
Used to like it a lot, but seems to be changing its stock to become more American and less Brazilian. Its a pity.
Vegan choices are off the chain! Super friendly staff and the TLT was tasty.
Thankful to find this little gem. Great food selections, smoothies & juices.
Very tasty vegan food and smoothies, served by a passionate staff.
Great food. Super service. Try the wake up call shake. Momma likey.
Loved the food!! Very tasty. Also wonderful staff.
The food is great, I have always believed, food is medicine. Also our beautiful planet is our hope.
Great, real food. The thumb print cookies are the best!
Service is slow as dirt, but good luck finding healthier, more loving food and coffee anywhere nearby.
This place tickles me pink. Great tasting, healthy food served with a smile!
If you like vegan meals, this place has creative dishes.
Love it! Perfect food, great staff, easy to pull in and oark, grab food and get back on the road.
Most delicious burrito I’ve ever put in my mouth
Couldnt have found a better choice for vegetarian food.

Organic and vegetarian. If thats your thing, youll probably like it. Nice people too.
Yummy organic snacks, breakfast and lunch meals. Nice folks!
Great smoothies. Nice independent cafe.
WAY-TOO noisey from blenders screaming: too-tight seating: too-much oil used in various dishes: cold in Winter.
Very nice café, minus point for no bathroom and quite pricy.
Great!
Amazing coffee and friendly, genuinely caring staff. Two thumbs up.
Delicious, Nutritious food that also happens to be vegan.

2022-02-23I grew up in New Paltz since the 90s and have known about Karma road for a long time but today was the first time I ever ate it. I had the Baked Tofu Sandwich and it was one of the best sandwiches with the most flavorful pesto I have ever had. I am sorry I never ate there earlier. It completely makes sense to me now why they have been open for so many years.

2022-05-02A top 5 favorite place to eat in the Hudson Valley for me. Food is always fresh and delicious. Everyone is always happy and accommodating. The brown rice bars with peanuts and chocolate chips have to be tried. Slaw is a go to along with the brussels and tofu.

2019-09-07My boyfriend and I got the same sandwich- I think it may have been a vegan BLT with tofu scramble. So good! And the salad was delicious. Also got the PB & J smoothie, very good. The place is small but theres a few tables and chairs to sit at. Despite the business when we were there we didnt have to wait long at all for our food.

Review №10
2022-02-19Ive tried so many things on the menu and theyve all been a 10/10. This place is great. The only sight inconvenience is that they take a long time. I always order ahead and still have to wait past the estimated time. Not enough to knock off a star. Just FYI if youre in a hurry.
