| - A delightful enough experience at a delightful enough location. It's kind of out of the way, but it's got a good cause, so I don't mind.
Cup O'Karma is a simple little coffee shop just off of Southern near Target, west of Longmore. It's tucked back in a quiet little strip mall and it pretty unassuming--the sign on the building simply says "Coffee Shop."
Inside, there are a few tables of various sizes, and a couple of boards with their offerings. As a non-coffee drinker, I'm more interested in fruity drinks that seem to be ubiquitous in these parts at this time of the year. I don't do tea, so it was decided that a caramel vanilla shake was in order.
Hand scooped ice cream (big plus) and a swirl of caramel and I was on my way. The big draw here was really the free wifi. It wasn't blazing fast, but didn't frustrate me either. Middle of the road; ask the barista for the username and password.
The restroom was tidy, and the place was pretty quiet. The gal behind the counter was new, and was being trained by the boss who was there walking her through the ropes. She runs a tight ship here--everything has a very specific procedure, and I was happy to see that cleaning and menu precision is high on the list.
They do entertainment throughout the month--music, open mic, poetry, etc. There's a stage that tucks away, and I had to leave before open mic night started.
As for the cause, a portion of your purchase goes towards helping people recover from domestic abuse. I don't know much more about it, but there are pics under the glass in the table and more information there about how to help out. I figure if you can sip your shake and help out your fellow human, you're probably doing something right.
