Second Good Karma Cafe in the works

Photo | Drew Lazor David Arrell, who opened Good Karma Cafe off 22nd and Pine two years back, is working on a second location at 928 Pine Street, formerly Ethnics Furniture. The space is about two and half times bigger than the original GKC, which'll allow for way more seating inside and out; there'll also be a separate "quiet room" available for studious types, book clubs and meetings. Arrell plans on taking the same green buildout approach here, using sustainable materials, reclaimed wood and no-VOC paints. The coffee and food approach will be pretty much the same, with a bit of potential expansion as far as lunch offerings go. Look for an early July opening.
