Karma Bread Bakehouse

The cutest little bakery/café I have seen in the area. The viennoiserie I ordered was absolutely delicious and so fresh, I was also given a free lemon cake by the lovely ladies working there. The bakery is not too big which makes it so cosy and enjoyable to sit down, and seem to welcome all the locals who live in the neighbourhood.

I recently found this great cafe in Hampstead, it’s such an amazing place! The food is to die for, the pastries, toasties, and the cherry bombs - wow!! I’ve heard great things about the challah bread, so that’s the next thing to buy! The staff are all really polite and helpful - especially when giving recommendations. I felt very comfortable in the environment - it’s a shame about the fake hate reviews. Definitely recommend a visit to anyone considering. Thank you!!

I tried almost everything at some point or another over the years. Today I went for the asparagus and cheese pastry and it’s lovely! Atmosphere is great too for sitting outside and people watching in Hampsted Heath

Amazing flavours and produce sold here. With seating available inside and out. I will be back when I’m visiting the area again.

A really lovely coffee shop and bakery. Staff are super friendly and the pastries and coffee are delicious

A quaint and homey cafe right opposite hampstead heath station with a wide variety of bakes ranging from cute little hedgehog buns, to challa bread, filled custard doughnuts, cube croissants, and sandwiches (though the sandwiches are only ready around 9am if im not wrong) Ducked into the shop one rainy morning and thoroughly enjoyed the coffee which wasnt too acidic. There were a few seats both outside and inside, so I was lucky enough to find an empty table inside. There were many people popping in to get their morning coffee along with a simple breakfast. The staff were absolutely amazing. They were professional but also so at ease and comfortable that it made the cafe feel even warmer and more welcoming.

KARMA BREAD: The Friendliest Bakery in London A few days ago, after visiting my sick grandmother at the Royal Free Hospital, my sister and I left feeling quite down. On our way out, a kind lady from a nearby bakery, Karma Bread, offered us a bag of pastries. It lifted our spirits immediately. The bread was soft, and the pastries were mouth-watering, which my family devoured quickly. Despite the exhaustion, we all agreed the baked goods were delicious. Two days later, I revisited Karma Bread before another hospital visit. Located just three minutes from the hospital, it’s a spot many people in similar situations frequent. I had a lovely conversation with the staff, who were used to interacting with people feeling low. My grandmother, who can’t eat gluten or dairy, was thrilled with the almond and orange cake they had for her. It was a sweet escape from the hospital food, and I highly recommend anyone visiting a loved one nearby to stop by Karma Bread for a treat. A few days later, I returned for breakfast. I had a tuna and cucumber sandwich made with soft, freshly baked bread and a perfectly prepared decaf latte with beautiful coffee art. Afterward, I spent three hours drawing the café's interior, enjoying the warm, welcoming atmosphere, the smell of fresh coffee and bread, and conversations with the staff and patrons. The bakery is also an ideal spot to pick up bread for a picnic in nearby Hampstead Heath. Despite a hand injury, I created some of my best artwork during this visit. The café’s inspiring ambiance pushed me to create, and once done, I left the drawing with them, feeling satisfied. On my final visit, four days before my grandmother left the hospital, I sampled their hot food. The shakshuka was one of the best I’ve had in London, full of rich, exquisite flavors. Their bread and butter pudding, paired with a flawless latte, was creamy, soft, and perfectly heated. In all my visits, I found the staff’s smiles, kindness, and excellent service uplifting. They make everyone feel like family. During my third visit, I was touched to see them celebrating a colleague’s birthday—just one more example of their warm, positive culture. While I don’t think they often give away free food, Karma Bread certainly spreads good karma, and I hope life rewards them in return

There is pro-lsrael propaganda inside the cafe that isn’t visible when you first walk in. Felt a bit uncomfortable after seeing that and ate and left quickly, we won’t be visiting again. But the food was lovely. Just to make people aware and they can decide.

If music be the food of love... Eat bread! Or some such thing! I just chances upon this place while waiting for my driving lesson and it was love at first sight! If you are one of those people that chooses not to eat bread or cake then this place isn't for you AND you probably aren't for me. Walking in the staff are so lovely and welcoming and make suggestions of bread based on your preferences also giving little tasters so you can try before you buy. I got a 30% rye and it's delicious. I actually enjoyed it so much I had it au natural with a mug of tea when I got home. It's just packed with flavour and so good. With everything freshly baked from scratch on site you really get the best of flavour from the freshness. I also got a slice of banana cake which went down with ease. Will be my regular pre lesson haunt from now on! See you there?

After an invigorating dip at the Hamstead Heath Mixed bathing pond, we stopped here for an afternoon snack. We had their Triple cheese toastie that smelled delicious as it was toasting, tasted even better. My kids proclaimed it better than the cheese toastie in Borough Market! I think it had leeks or spring onions inside. Had the Cardamom roll too which was divine. Grabbed a large Sourdough Loaf for the next day's breakfast! So good! Thick & crusty outside and soft & tart inside. Supermarket bread can't compare. Well worth £4!

This place has amazing bread and really good service. They're always sweet and have a smile on their face. The bread is delicious as well and they have good breakfast and lunch options. Whenever I'm having a party I grab some bread as an appetizer and just serve it with olive oil and it's always gone within a few minutes.

Lovely friendly staff and delicious breads! A breath of fresh air among impersonal chain shops and cafes! Let's support local businesses

First off, this place is adorable! The service was fast, friendly, and informative. My curried parsnip soup did wonders for my cold, and my husband can't stop thinking about their beef stew! The seating is a bit tight, and you have to get personal with your neighbors when you come and go. But this place was an absolute joy to dine at!

This bakery is really cute. Even if the decor is quite subtle there is some enchanting atmosphere in here. Everything I have tried is very good and the staff is very friendly. They have cinnamon buns, almond buns, donuts, muffins, savory dishes like grilled cheese, soups... Most of all they have a really great selection of breads. They even have Challah (a jewish kind of bread that I love so much!). If the prices were not so crazy I would rate this little shop 4 stars. I don't remember all the prices but I remember paying £7 for 2 cinnamon buns... Unreal!! I will still go back because it's like a bread and pastries heaven but it certainly will not become my daily bakery...

Excellent friendly service. Hot chocolate and tea were great and the baking was absolutely outstanding. My partner got a lemon cream puff and thought it was fantastic. Can't wait to go back and try some of their loaves of bread!

This place obviously sells quality bread but you can also sit down in the narrow but lovely shop and have a greasy, massive - wait for it - triple cheese triple onion toastie or, if you wanna stay on the safe side, a wholesome soup. As previouse reviewers have confirmed, the staff are super-friendly, the pastries look sweeeet and the coffee is good too. So... what are you waiting for?

What the hell is with the pricing? Are they selling bars of gold or bread? I bought one solitary doughnut and a loaf of sour dough bread. Guess how much? .........nope. more. six pounds bloody fifty (£6.50). From what i understand in the charity adverts thats enough to feed a starving child in sub saharan Africa for 3 weeks and 2 days.Get a grip Karma Bread Bakehouse or some serious Karma will come your way (you'll shutdown.....cause your bread is over priced and mediocre).

I came here for something different to eat. So glad I chose to come here. The breads are amazing. The choice is limited but everything is spot on. It is easy to spot, has a few tables & chairs inside and two tables outside, not so busy during lunch but can get packed after school. It is all freshly made on site and this is evident in anything you try. They also sell hot drinks which was really nice on the cold day I went unfortunately they don't serve dairy free milk so best to avoid if your lactose intolerant or vegan. I did notice they have more sweet stuff then savoury which is nice as this is more coffee shop/bakery then a cafe. Reasonably priced and the staff are so welcoming. Great when it comes to helping you decide what to buy if you walk in without a clue what you want. They also have small samples of the bread they freshly bake and sell on sample throughout the day, it varies which bread you can sample as to what has just come out of the oven. Quick service and extremely efficient. Next time I am back in the area I will most likely pop in. Cute little independent coffee shop/bakery which everyone should visit if in the area!!!
