This is not a sit-down cafe this is the name of the business. They are located on San Pablo, there is street parking, you can knock on the door but if you actually want to reach the fellow you need to call him. I got the impression that he stayed a couple blocks away and he just drives over to meet me there and I get like eight salads at a time from him and stock my fridge. Right now they are $5 a pop and $10 in the store. You can figure out for yourself if that's a good deal

The last two salads that I bought were so hot that they were almost inedible. The last time I bought the salad, I thought it was just that someone didn't mix the ingredients very well, but this time the salad was even hotter. When you first had your salad at Berkeley Bowl, we were regular buyers, not any more. You've lost a regular customer.

It seems like such a simple salad but once you taste it there is no going back.

I rely on this salad and I appreciate how you’ve streamlined the lime-fish sauce by turning the jalapeños into little chips that spread their flavor throughout the sauce. Please, Cafe Karla, if you see this, I need your salads available in more locations and in larger quantities. It would be great to have a better chance of getting a couple of boxes during my weekly shopping trips (it feels a bit inconsiderate to enjoy my salad while my partner doesn’t get one) every time I visit the store.

I absolutely rely on this salad, and I appreciate how you’ve improved the lime-fish sauce by turning the jalapeños into little chips that spread their flavor throughout the sauce. Please, Cafe Karla, if you’re reading this, I need your salads to be available in more locations and in larger quantities. That way, I can count on being able to pick up a couple of boxes during my weekly shopping trips. It's a bit unfair to enjoy my salad while my significant other misses out!
