    Food is always good and seasonal. Awesome options super fast in the refrigerated case and ever more hot menu items that are delicious. The cookies and cakes are my favorite. Different cookies on a regular basis and they are WAY better than Crumbl. Do yourself a favor and go to eat at Karen's.

    I stopped by after a quick visit to old town Folsom. I was craving something sweet, so I tried the turtle brownie and a smores brownie. They were both super delicious and the total only came to seven dollars and some change. I wish I lived in Folsom, so I could go here all the time, lol. Definitely give it a try!

    I used to really enjoy Karen's, but there are a few reasons they're no longer 5/5 for me. The service has never been anything stellar. Today though was just the worst it has been in awhile. I'm frustrated that they prompt you to tip at payment. I would rather tip after the service. I think this could be why the service is often lacking. The woman who took my order seemed unhappy and like I was bothersome. Another lady brought out a drink for my mom, but it was made incorrectly. She kind of argued with my mom, but then went and made it correct. The prices have also gone up without an increase in quality, so that is frustrating. Things I do like: I love the vast array of tea options and that they are organized via caffeine content. I also love the granola and yogurt and some of the various pastries. The location is nice, and I enjoy sitting out on the patio. Just know that you may not get great service while you're here and that it can be pricey. Good every once in awhile.
