Chakra Bowls- Poughkeepsie

Awesome friendly staff. Great bowls and smoothies. And this is the real deal - not a franchise. The owner is awesome and sources all her ingredients herself, develops her own recipes and has wellness and nutrition front and center. The place itself is very comfortable and cozy.

First time going there...I wanted to try a particular bowl advertised on their menu and I wasn't disappointed. It was fresh and delicious, also had the soup of the day. Service was good. It could be pricey but it's worth it.

Looked over the menu but did not see exactly what I wanted. Cashier asked what I would like. “Acai bowl with bananas/blueberries and granola.” She said, you want the breakfast bowl then. Not to waste her time, I said whatever has those items. I arrived home with what looked like a good size serving bowl of light brown puree with fruit and granola. Puree tasted bland. Clearly no Açaí. Looked online and realized yes, breakfast bowl and no, no Acai. Personally did not enjoy this at all. Very disappointed I did not reiterate Açaí when I said I wanted the items in a bowl I asked for. Place was very clean and cashier was very pleasant. There was no reason I should have felt rushed to order. There was no line. Ordering via online for pickup perhaps would have been better.

I ordered Chakra Bowls’ weekly meal delivery postpartum and it was an absolute lifesaver. Lauren, the owner, went above and beyond to make sure meals were delivered to my home while I was on bedrest, which meant so much. The food was fresh, nourishing, and delicious. So grateful to support this local, woman-owned business—highly recommend!

Clean and cute Zen Cafe in the enclave of Eastdale ( Town of Poughkeepsie) where strolling is encouraged and easy. The salads are freshly prepared with fun ingredients but portions are on the small side. Two salads set us back $38 plus tip. NYC prices. Service was lovely and attention was made to avoid serving me any allergens. Street tables and inside options.
