I have been going here since it opened years ago. The owner is super cool and the food is great. Plenty of vegan food and beer, tacos, tofu, and great music.
Top-notch craft beer bar in a city that doesn't have too many. Great selection of sour ales, often including vintage Russian River "tion" beers. And Pliny the Elder bottles. Pliny.
Cameron SteerJune 5, 2016Amazing vegan food with a large selection of craft ale, which all the staff are knowledgable on. It's the perfect place to spend an evening in San Jose!
Christian BakerJune 18, 2016A vegan restaurant with craft beer and a Belgian tavern aesthetic. Try the vegan chicken wings and coconut curry with an ale from Fieldwork or Cellarmaker.
Varun TurlapatiDecember 3, 2014Moving from the Midwest to the Bay Area the biggest pleasant surprise is finding many vegan/vegetarian options. This is a nice place for a solitary dinner or a conversation over beer.
There are two types of vegan restaurants. Fortunately, this place is the type that knows what's in their food. Gluten-Free Friendly!
Stephanie OrmeJune 10, 2019This place is a gem. The bartender was amazing. He'll give you recs, samples, and good conversation. The channah masala and cold brew were excellent.
Zack SheppardJune 8, 2017Tasty food, great beer selection, knowledgeable staff, and one of the worst neighborhoods. Go here but do yourself a favor and grab a table inside.
Good veggie food, good beers, good tunes, good company. Say hi to Bob, the new owner.
Richard RanalloJuly 1, 2013I'm a die-hard carnivore, but this place smelled too good to pass it by. Fantastic selection of Belgians too.
Maria PivaAugust 3, 2017I really enjoyed the Jamaican Jerk, lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Plenty of beer to choose from too!- Maryam MostajirNovember 5, 2018We had the Buddha bun, chik’n drumsticks, chana masala, and kimchi bowl and everything was 100% delicious!
California does vegetarian and vegan perfectly. Good Karma is just one of several great places with heathly, inventive, delicious vegetarian and vegan cuisine.
PatrickMarch 31, 2016A place with sour beers and great vegan food? Is it bad if I eat here every day?
Dolly BoooJanuary 25, 2013GF foods are labeled! And lots of gf beers to choose from. Try the dogfish strawberry ale :-) great food very yum!
Andreas HirschSeptember 22, 2015This place is great! Super tasty food. Nice people. Good music. Plus good craft beers selection!
Derrick YuAugust 25, 2016While the food isn't 'authentic', it is so flavorful you'll forget that it's completely vegan. Come for beers, stay for delicousness.
Diana GalvisOctober 3, 2014The food feels like home. The music is awesome. And the chocolate pie is incredible!
Love this place!!! Get the burrito with Jamaican jerk!!!!
Maria LantinJanuary 20, 2010Amazing healthy vegan food. Try the Chana masala and the vegan pork buns. Price is great too. And service super friendly.
Genna StrachanNovember 18, 2014Beans rice and i appreciate that they gave me a plate in exchange for a picture copy of my sleep poem 2 weeks ago😉
DeekayAugust 28, 2014The outdoor counter may seem like a good idea, but too many distractions (pedestrians, wind, dust, leaves). Strange people come up asking about random things.
Dionna ChambersJanuary 13, 2013There is something for everyone! Great for people with dietary restrictions.
James WoodworthJune 24, 2017Went to Good Karma to get a beer they listed on their tap list which was updated earlier today. Too bad they didn't update that they were closing at 6:00 pm on Friday for a private party. Bad Karma.
Howard De La LanzaOctober 15, 2015If you are vegan, you will like it, I am not and like it, Hippie style
Tiny carrot cup was good...food was ok, was trying to get used to taste ...liked drumstick ..basil tofu ok, scrambled tofu didn't taste as I wud have liked it..for me overall it was average taste
Come in for the craft beer, stay for the people ;)
