Chakra Cafe

I’ve been coming to this café regularly and it never disappoints. I usually get waffles and a latte, and they’re always fresh and really good. I also love their salads. You can tell care goes into what they prepare. The staff is genuinely kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere makes you want to stay longer. It’s one of those places you keep coming back to without thinking twice.

The food is yummy, shakes are ok (they could do much better with the flavor) the mushroom coffee is delicious as well. The only reason I’m giving it a 4 is because there are always nets flying around (if you sit near the counter).

For breakfast, avocado toast, added one egg and mushrooms, not too tasty and mushrooms tasted like out of the can just sautéd. The salad was decent. The coffee was also not good, I asked for light and sweet, I got dark with barely any milk. Overall I don’t think the food quality is worth the price they charge.

I wanted to love this cafe, they had my favorite cookie and it's a locally owned business, but why does it take almost 20 minutes to make a cup of tea with soy milk? I ordered at 2:10pm and at 2:25, i was told they were still working on it....at around 2:27 I left because I had another appointment at 2:30. This was a dissapointing experience, and I hope it was just a one off thing...but even the people who came after me got their drinks. Hopefully in the future, it'll be a better experience.

The turquoise blue color outside is catchy. Wanted a small bite so went here on a warm afternoon so had to sit inside, since shaded outdoor tables were taken. Counter window seating had blinds which we were able to adjust. With colorful lanterns and paintings; quiet there even when crowded. I picked salep for my drink- good, tasted like chai, cinnamon. Bagel with sundried tomatoes and olive cream cheese was satisfying and would get again. On Queens Boulevard so metered street parking; by the 7 train.
