We went to the idea of what goes around comes around, like do good, be good and wound up with Karma’s. It seemed to be most fitting and we quickly and easily grew a brand at that point.”Katie Nelms — Owner, Karma's Coffee House
CULLMAN — Since July 22, Cullman resident Katie Nelms has been working diligently with her staff of seven baristas and cooks to give residents a unique venue to hang out, kick back and enjoy a hot cup of coffee or specialty tea with friends and like-minded individuals. So began Karma’s Coffee House.
“I wanted a place where people could come to feel comfortable, be productive if needed but most importantly, be themselves. Our space is ideal because you can sit up front and chat with friends while your kids play in the kid-friendly area or you can bring your laptop and transplant your office here for the day,” Nelms said. “We see businessmen, mothers, teenagers, and everyone in between every day.”
Nelms said Karma’s was born from an idea of creating a place where good people could come for a good cup of coffee. She said, “We went to the idea of what goes around comes around, like do good, be good and wound up with Karma’s. It seemed to be most fitting and we quickly and easily grew a brand at that point.”
While many may be intimidated by coffeehouses due to the nature of variations of lattes, mochas, double-shot espressos, and an assortment of other foreign drinks, Nelms said residents shouldn’t worry as the baristas at Karma’s are always willing to help a customer make a decision best suited for them.
“We make sure we work with you through your drink ordering process to help you figure out what fits you best. It is hard to pick from so many delicious things, so we understand that you might need a minute to look or have a lot of questions. That’s what we are here for,” she said.
“Also, just because the name has coffeehouse in it, doesn’t mean we only have coffee. We have something for almost everyone’s taste buds.”
Besides the many choices of herbal teas and coffees from some of the best growers and roasters in the nation, Nelms said she is also working with her staff to create new breakfast and lunch items, to give her customers the best of both food and drink.
“We pride ourselves in our quality of products for our beverages. Our roaster is based out of Maryville, Tennessee and they were recently awarded the bronze medal for their Organic Espresso at the 2015 Golden Bean Roasters Competition. This just happens to be the espresso that we serve daily in our espresso based beverages here at Karma’s. It is literally one of the best in the country,” she explained.
“We are proud to use Alabama’s Organic Milk, also known as Working Cow’s Dairy. They are a grass fed, non-homogenized organic farm in Alabama,” she continued.
“We are expanding and changing our menu daily so always be on the lookout for new food items. We recently added a truly Southern chicken salad to our collection of chicken salads, which includes a dairy-free and mayo-free option.”
Besides being a full-service coffeehouse, Nelms said customer's can rent out the building for special events and luncheons.
