Karma Coffee Cafe - Hiawatha

While traveling on I-80 and staying in a hotel in Cedar Springs, I discovered this restaurant through Happy Cow. Despite the lack of reviews, I highly recommend checking it out if you are in need of a quick meal on the road. The menu offers several vegan options that are clearly labeled, as well as vegan pastries, dairy-free smoothies, and various plant milks (such as oat, soy, almond, and coconut). I ordered the chickpea salad sandwich with baby carrots, veggie spring rolls (which were made per request), a mango banana smoothie, and a latte with oat milk. The food is made fresh to order, and my total bill was around $25, which seemed reasonable for the quality of fresh ingredients. The restaurant also has a drive-through, and I was impressed to see the employee wearing a mask and sanitizing the card reader before handing it to me. This was the only establishment in the area that appeared to be taking quarantine guidelines seriously, earning them extra points in my book.

The menu has several vegan options clearly marked, as well as vegan pastries, dairy-free fruit smoothies, and alternative milks (such as oats, soy, almond, and coconut). I tried the chickpea salad sandwich with baby carrots, veggie spring rolls, mango banana smoothie, and oat milk latte. The spring rolls were made upon request (they were not on the menu) and were delicious even without the dipping sauce. The food is freshly made to order. My total bill was around $25, which seems reasonable for the use of fresh ingredients. The drive-through service was efficient, and the employee wore a mask and sanitized the card reader before handing it to me.
