"Downtown San Jose is home to many restaurants, but none are quite like Good Karma. A cross between a charming cafe and a laid-back pub, it’s a hip place to dine both earlier and later in the day. The completely vegan menu offers customizable plates and burritos, and the pulled “pork” tacos, made with slow-cooked jackfruit, are a fan favorite. For those with a sweet tooth, the restaurant also serves baklava and apple crisp, and, of course, customers frequently turn to their craft beers. If you’re lucky, you might even be able to catch some live music while you’re there." - Cathy Park, Paolo Bicchieri
