Loooong Overdue Update

 Well, I feel like there's some 'splainin' to do.

When we closed for remodeling the plan was six weeks. Optimistic? Sure but that isn't where our plans went awry. Back in June we noticed a small leak in the corner by the door when it rained. Just a few drops really but it was reported to building management, fast forward to August. We started renovations in back of house - the kitchens and thank goodness because we got some torrential rain in August and early September. Long story short, that little drip turned into something that eventually brought down the dinning room ceiling, damaged walls, compromised areas of the floor, shorted out electricity, caused damage to cabinets and counter tops....etc.

Leaks are notoriously difficult to isolate and every time a "repair" was made we anxiously awaited the next rain to confirm success. We waited though October repairs. November repairs. December repairs. Argh. Anyway the problem has been found and a very temporary workaround put into place but we anxiously await news from building management about the permanent solution. In the mean time we've begun repairing the main room (which is significantly more involved due to water damage).

Without a doubt the Restaurant Revitalization Fund and PPP loans saved Carma's Cafe and it my sincere hope that once the dust settles the Cafe will be back serving those that have supported us for so many years.

I would be remiss not to mention the Cafe staff members who have stuck with me through this trauma and drama. We have done demolition, construction, plumbing, electrical work, metal work, installed FRP. Heck, we even repaired some refrigerators with fiberglass and boat epoxy resin!

Look for a Valentine's Day pop-up on the terrace February 12-14th! We can't wait to see you.

With so much love, appreciation and affection,

Carma

Exciting News!

 We are taking a few weeks to give the cafe a long overdue bit of pampering.

We will be back and ready to celebrate in a few weeks.

Your continued support and the Restaurant Revitalization Fund is making this possible.

Summer Holiday

 Carma's Cafe will be closed July 19-26.

Friday, July 2, 2021

Closed July 2

 Sorry but we've had to close today due to flooding and storm damage. Hope to be back open tomorrow but that will depend on the weather.

Sunday, May 16, 2021

Closed Tuesday, May 18th

 Sorry for the inconvenience but we're following the excellent example of teachers and taking a "cafe proprietor's work day". There's a mountain of paperwork and exciting plans afoot!

Best,
Carma


PS: If I haven't mentioned it recently, we really appreciate your support - especially during this most difficult year. We do it for you and couldn't do it without you!

September 3, 2020

 Can I tell you how excited we are to see so many students back in the neighborhood?! Don't get me wrong, the MOST important thing is that you stay safe but since everybody has to live somewhere we're so glad you are in Charles Village. Wear your mask. Social distance.

Things have changed a bit in the past six months (whopper of an understatement) so I'll catch you up on Cafe life. Carma's Cafe is open Tuesday through Sunday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm for carry-out, curbside pick up or dining on the terrace. There are also tables on the corner of 32nd and St Paul at the front of the building. Tables get moved around to accommodate groups of different sizes so please use your best judgement, move tables as needed and maintain a 6 foot social distance from other diners. Wear your mask. Social distance.

You are also welcome to call in an order in advance. Payment can be made over the phone or at pick up. When you call just let us know if you'd like curbside pick up. Payment will be taken over the phone and give us a call when you arrive, let us know what you're driving (or that you are on the sidewalk) and someone will run your food out. A pdf of our menu is posted on the website. Wear your mask. Social distance.

Also, you might want to let the folks know e-gift cards are available from our website carmascafe.com. During these stress and anxiety inducing times a hot, gooey grilled cheese sandwich, a bowl of tomato basil soup and a couple cookies are almost medicinal! Wear your mask. Social distance.

Finally, you may be able to find us on one of the delivery sites but we have no control over their pricing or content so it's a "do it at your own risk" situation. Wear your mask. Social distance.

We miss you. Thanks for the continued outpouring of love and support. You are the reason we are fighting through this crisis. Much love, Carma

Dear Friends & Customers,

We miss you like crazy! The Cafe has been open during the entire pandemic and have worked hard to keep ourselves healthy and follow the best food handling practices. Every day presents new challenges but we've been rolling with flow. Occasionally we've had to close early or may have run out of a favorite menu item but we are doing our best to make sure the Carma's you have loved and supported will still be here post-pandemic. I can't tell you how much your continued support means to me. 












My very warmest regards and affection,
Carma
