Going anywhere with a nut and seed allergy is challenging - with the exception of Chakra Bowls! The staff here, and especially the owner, are so careful with my order and do everything they can to ensure I can still enjoy the menu, despite my allergy. Not to mention the portion size, flavor, and freshness are unmatched! Chakra is my go-to 😊

Great service! Amazing atmosphere!! My 6 year old loves stopping here for a smoothie as well. Highly recommended.

their smoothie so delicious their service super five stars and the owner so sweet as well. I will give five stars to this place.👍

Such an amazing addition to the area!! Lauren and the staff are so sweet. I’ve had multiple things on the menu at the Fishkill and Poughkeepsie locations and everything is delicious, but my favorite is the Hudson Valley bowl. So so good! I visit Chakra Bowls every time I’m in town. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing. Definitely an experience. The make the absolute best açaí bowls, if you have never tried one this is the place to start. If you are looking for a healthy place to get something delicious… this is the spot. My personal favorite is the soul bowl. Acai is so fresh and delicious fruit. Have you ever eaten something and thought this is amazing and there is no way it’s healthy…This does exactly that. The food should be illegal, because it’s that good. Be patient on wait times, it takes a little to create something this outstanding!!

Foods super delicious! Staff are very helpful.

Great menu, staff and vibe! My smoothie and power shot were incredible. So happy to find out they opened around the corner from my businesses. Looking forward to becoming a frequent flyer.

Very fresh, delicious, and nourishing bowl! I had the Coffee nut bowl and heart chakra tea

The food is delicious, presented beautifully, the staff are pleasant and helpful, and the place is immaculate. What more could you ask for?

This is s great place to go to for breakfast/ brunch. I tried the nut bowl today, DELICIOUS! Also had the turmeric latte, ok but I like a bit stronger flavor. Very helpful staff, pleasant interactions. You might think the bowls will not fill you up, but they are very filling.

Chakra Bowls is decorated beautifully and the music was perfect to set a chill vibe (and it wasn't too loud). Their smoothie bowls taste amazing!! The staff was very friendly! Can't wait to go back!

Food is healthy & yummy and ambiance is nice and the staff friendly.

I ordered the gypsy, the indulgent and the mermaid. All three of these bowls were incredible! They were done so beautifully. The artistry that goes into them is truly like nothing you’ve seen - from taste to presentation her bowls are out of this world. Absolutely delicious and healthy! I can’t wait to go back! Bringing everyone I know with me to try them! 😍💗

Highly recommend Chakra bowls! Went for the first time today and not only was the staff so nice and helpful but the mermaid bowl and señorita bowl were amazing!!!! My almost 2 year old had the chocolate lovers smoothie and drank the entire thing and I had the immunity tea! Wow is all I can say! We will definitely be back!!

I live in Connecticut and every time I’m home, I HAVE to get Chakra bowls! They are hands down the best smoothie bowls I’ve ever had! I crave them all the time and unfortunately nothing in my area compares. I’m so happy Lauren opened another location so she can share the smoothie bowl (and toast, lattes, salads, wellness shots) goodness with even more people! 4th location coming to Connecticut please? 🙃🤞🏼

I placed my order online for Chai Tea and Valley Oatmeal. Service was prompt and fast and ready for pick-up on my arrival. Their hot Chai Tea is one of the best I have ever tasted! I hope they make it available not only for Winter but all year round. I am an oatmeal fan so I also enjoyed the oatmeal. They have vegan and vegetarian options! Chakra Bowls is the place to eat at! I get smoothies/smoothie bowls and salads from them all the time!

I’m not sure what I did before they opened, but I have had tons of smoothies, bowls and food items off their menu and not a single thing was below a 5 star rating for me. The staff is friendly and well trained, the menu changes occasionally to give some new items and the products are always fresh. If you are a health food person or just looking to mix healthy meals into your diet this is your spot.

I went to chakra bowls for the first time over the weekend. The location was so convenient. I was greeted promptly by Lauren who couldn’t have been lovelier. The cafe was clean and adorably decorated! My breakfast was absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to return in the very near future!!!!

Lauren catered an event recently and everything tasted amazing! The new wraps were delicious and NOT like any other, the salads were full and fresh! Lauren was so helpful and went above & beyond.

Absolutely adorable inside. I haven’t had a bowl I don’t like, they are all amazing!! (And the toasts too). Lauren is so dedicated to her business and loves what she does- and it shows!! Highly recommend!

Loved the sour dough. Got an excellent lavender coffee for my partner and a hazelnut coffee for myself. Cozy and compact atmosphere with great vibes. Recommended for vegans.

The place is a work of peace ☮️ of mind ,& the bonus is the array of healthy selections they have to get you’re body internally right 🤤

always a vibe at Chakra Bowls! Love their moroccan lentil soup, high protein smoothies, salads + avocado toast for when I'm busy + on the go! Check out their selection of freshly pressed juices too! So happy to have them at Eastdale!

Smoothie bowls are so good. Want to try the poke bowls but it’s hard to switch because of how good and refreshing the smoothie bowls are.

Beautiful shop. Great location, awesome Owner. Did the juice cleanse and now I’m hooked on everything else.

THE BEST& FRESH!!! MANY THANKS TO LAUREN AND HER WONDERFUL STAFF... we always have a great experience!!!

The instant immunity smoothie is my fave! The shop is always a vibe and everyone is so incredibly nice.

All the girls were smiley & sweet. I really enjoyed the skin glow soup, delicious!

Enjoyed a delicious lunch with one of my beautiful granddaughters! Will definitely return! Bright, clean, pleasantly relaxing and delicious!

The food is spectacular and staff are friendly. My favorite is the soul bowl and their vegan chili so far but I have plenty more items to try. I walk over from my residence for a change in work scenery and I’m always content.

Chakra Bowls is a great place and I love how it has vegan and gluten free options. I’ve become a regular and the staff is absolutely amazing. They are very friendly and always greet me with a smile. Their kindness doesn’t go unnoticed.

Staff is always amazing with a friendly smile and greeting as soon as you walk in the door! The interior is so calming, comfortable and immaculately clean. I order the chai tea which is fresh made, not from a box and it’s amazing!!!

I absolutely love Chakra Bowls, everything is always delicious, and made to order. I have an allergy and they are always careful and accommodate. The owners are the nicest people who make the experience that much better. Service is everything to me and they go above and beyond. The new location is beautiful. I highly recommend.

Hi, this place is great, the sandwich and avocado toasts taste amazing. Just one thing, I think you should probably spell out peanut butter on the menu, me and my friend both did not see PB (which is 100% out fault) and I ended up having a terrible allergic reaction. It was my mistake and I am not blaming on anyone but I think spelling it out would help a lot.

I never leave reviews and after going to Chakra Bowls I felt like I had to. The staff was literally so incredible , I went in with my grandmother and they took the time to break down the menu for her to find something she liked. They explained the ingredients in each and the benefits of each option. My bowl was amazing and was so filling. Typically I’m in a rush so I don’t want a sit down meal nor do I want fast food. It is great to finally have a healthy grab and go restaurant in the area. Hands down my new favorite spot!

I can’t pass up a stop at Chakra Bowls every time I visit my family back home. To my sister, there is no better love language gesture than bringing a smoothie bowl or fresh juice when we arrive. I dream about this place and wish we had one back in VT! Always the best fresh fruit and quality ingredients, it’s the healthiest guilty pleasure!

Very cozy. Awesome good vibes bowl..owner so friendly. Makes you feel right at home. Thanks Lauren...

I love coming to Chakra Bowls. The owner and staff are top notch. If you aren’t sure what you want, have questions or need something adjusted they are on it. I also love being able to come with my young child who can enjoy ordering for herself and enjoy eating something delicious and nutritious.

Chakra bowls - there’s really nothing else like it in the area. Fresh, super healthy, delicious, colorful - this is a place to fuel your body with the good stuff. The signature smoothie bowls are served in coconut bowls in house and they are so artfully crafted to be as pleasing to the eye as they are to your tastebuds! The atmosphere is so lovely, both the interiors and the music and the ambiance overall - you get taken away on a little escape each time you arrive. On top of that they offer workshops and events like sound healings, in this beautiful and dare I say sacred space. And the owner Lauren is a mom and has nurtured and created a place truly filled with love. It’s a must go in the Hudson valley - smoothie bowls, salads, wraps, and veg options as well. ♥️

I've visited chakra bowls on multiple occasions. All of there food options are fresh , homemade, and you taste the love in every bite . The space is ammuculant and beautifully decorated. Absolutely cozy and created with much attention to detail. I met the owner face to face who was such a joy ! She listened to all my concerns and curated a custom juice cleanse for me that was to die for & had my body and mind feeling great for the new year . This restaurant is a gem and has something healthy & delicious for everyone from vegetarian to kids and so much more . Don't think , just go !

I’m not sure where to begin. Chakra bowls has become apart of my family’s weekly routine. Not only is the food delicious and nutritious, but the owner and staff are extremely pleasant and the atmosphere of the shop is calming and relaxing. We absolutely love the avocado toast and smoothie selections as well as juices they sell. It has made our most recent lifestyle change that much easier to keep on track.

Omg this place is such a good find!! I’m gonna be here all the time! Best smoothies ever and the customer service is top tier. Everyone is so nice and I can’t recommend this place enough!!!

I ordered online and picked up in person, we got a salad, elixr, smoothie, and iced chai. The staff was friendly when I went in to pick up my order and the food and drinks were great!

Great healthy foods, great options. Nice and relaxing environment.

Lauren is aware of how I have a laundry list of food allergies. When I asked for a substitution for my smoothie, as always she said no problem. The airstream is adorable and I am selfishly thrilled to have Chakra Bowls closer to home. You have brought us a sweet addition to the New Paltz/Gardiner area.

Very delish and healthy, the atmosphere just exudes peace and love . such a gem💎

Lauren is the most friendly, hard working and caring woman in business I’ve had the pleasure to know. Her establishment — at all locations I’ve been to—has always been not only welcoming, but clean too! Service is always made with a smile and the food never disappoints. My current addiction is the indulgent bowl, YUM!!! I recently was involved in an accident and Lauren adds little cards of positive quotes in my order that really help lift me up. Thank you Lauren!

Every time we walk into chakra bowls we’re met with a smiling helpful staff that knows us. The staff has pretty much remained the same solid people for a very long time-meaning this business is run by someone who cares about her employees. Food quality and freshness are always on point. Literally something for every “style” of eating. My boys and I love it.

Love their selection! Smoothies as well as bowls are so tasty

I’ve been coming here for years and I absolutely love it, it always brightens my day! Lauren and the girls are all so kind and caring, the food is always so good and fresh, & the atmosphere is so relaxing, the vibes are amazing. Such positive energy. Everytime I order it’s always delicious I have never had one ‘bad’ thing here. Always 10/10🫶✨(And I love the fresh juice they have bottled as well!)

Best Smoothie Bowl I’ve ever had! Warm and inviting atmosphere. Going to Chakra Bowl is refreshing for both body and soul!

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.

Chakra Bowls is a wonderful place to go if you want to eat clean, healthy, delicious food. My boyfriend and I eat there every weekend and love their bowls! They also have great salads and warm quinoa bowls. The atmosphere is beautiful and calm. I recommend Chakra Bowls to everyone!

Chakra Bowls is my favorite place for lunch to get great smoothie bowls, warm quinoa bowls, and great salads! My boyfriend and I are there every weekend and love it! Lauren and her staff are such wonderful people, they make the experience that much better!

Love the ladies that work here! They are always friendly and helpful! I absolutely love their smoothies and the worst part is having to pick one because they are all so good!!!

Kelly Holiday

I was introduced to Chakra Bowls at the Beacon Farmer's Market. My partner and I decided to do a gut cleanse and were so pleased with the experience! We've done juice cleanses before, but we've always been disappointed. Chakra Bowls has created a cleanse that actually satisfies and heals while it cleanses. I was shocked at how quickly I started to feel the effects - lost brain fog, bloat, cravings, more energy, and most importantly, no more "food noise." I felt supported by Lauren throughout the process, as well. It's been 3 weeks since my cleanse, and I can say that my relationship to both food and my gut has shifted. Thank you SO MUCH to Lauren and her amazing team!!

Robin Reddy

Food is always fresh and delicious. Lauren and her crew are wonderful and always courteous. The place is so peaceful to eat in and has a great vibe!!

Heather Creese

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!

Sandra Zapata

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.

Dee Dee Thompson

I've been coming here for years and the food and service is impeccable. Lauren and her staff are friendly, professional, and truly care about customer satisfaction. If I ever had questions or an issue with my order (very rare) they are quick to resolve it in a way that makes me feel beyond satisfied. Their seasonal specials are always fun to try and the cafe itself has such nice vibes. My favorite smoothie is a hot yogi but I promise there is something for everyone. If you haven't dined here before, give them a try. You won't regret it.

Antonio Maiello

Absolutely wonderful all around! I have been taking my nieces here for years! The ambiance and the menu (the bowls are to die for), make for a great place to enjoy a healthy meal or smoothie while chatting away the morning. We are very thankful for their kindness, definitely a MUST stop by!

B Levy

Our quinoa bowls ($17 each) were delicious. Fun place for lunch

Ann Marie Robustelli

I am a wholesom ingredients food enthusiast!! This place checks every box. Chakra Bowl is the only place I will order food in the all of Eastdale. Why? Whole food, fresh clean ingredients! Dressing with olive oil, not seed oil. Healthy and creative dishes. Well thought out. That's first and foremost. Hip clean (and cozy, bohemian style) establishment, hence its name. Service staff, are sweet and kind.

Stace Soshin 宗心

Pricy, with delcious vegan options. Friendly warm staff too. ❤️ Popped in for lunch as a first timer and got their vegan hot wrap with red quinoa, sweet potatoes, etc., so great!! With a bottle of green juice and three vegan cookies, this one-person lunch came to a shocking-to-me $58. 😬 Would get the wrap again for sure, and wash it down next time with my own water bottle.

Jayme Schultz

We have been enjoying Chakra Bowls for years. The food is quality and so are the people. On the rare occasion we have an issue it is always resolved in a positive way.

Liz Zych

I absolutely love this place! The bowls are not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The toasts are very good too. They use fresh, high-quality ingredients that make every bite feel like a treat. If you’re into healthy, wholesome food, this spot is a must-visit. The boho vibe adds such a cozy, laid-back atmosphere, perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. The staff is super friendly, and the whole experience just feels like a breath of fresh air.

Emily Rox

I love this place so much I wish they had a spot in beacon! But I’m just being selfish. I tried them at a local event and had been craving them since. So much that I’ve gone every week the past month. I love the soul bowl so much, it’s my favorite. The girls at the front are always pleasant. I usually go during the week when I’m off and it’s perfect and quiet. It’s become my go to and I can’t get enough. If I lived nearby I’d go everyday!

Christine Agro

The food is really good. It's a bit pricey. $52 pls tip for 2 people for lunch, but it's good healthy food. When I eat there I make it more my dinner. The warm quinoa bowls are excellent as is the soup and toast.

Alan Shamoun

***11/5/22 update*** The place moved to a new spot. It's in a new retail development, not in the old "back alley". The new location is much more spacious, with many other retail shops nearby. *** The food was really good, as well as the service. We waited about 10 minutes for the food to be available for us to take out, which was completely acceptable. We were there at around 2:30pm on a Saturday, so it was pretty quiet. They have an large array of traditional bowls (salad type), as well as smoothie bowls (kind of like a smoothy, but with lots of chunks of fruit and such, so you eat it with a spoon).

Tori Mabie Heath

Chakra Bowls is different and a healthy option which is definitely something Poughkeepsie needs! The smoothie bowls are delicious and always taste fresh. They take their time to make the presentation of the bowls look beautiful as well. I always have a pleasant experience here and recommend coming here!

Joanna Croshier

Delicious food. Great service. I had the Hudson Valley bowl while my husband had the Indulgent bowl. This was my first time visiting, but I look forward to trying the other items on the menu. The bowls are about $12 each.

I ate there for the first time today and ordered the Earth Bowl salad with Green Goddess dressing, which sounded delicious in theory. It was served as a composed salad, the bowl filled to the brim with a small container of dressing. Impossible to toss or even eat without food jumping out of the bowl onto my shirt and the table. Either it needs to be served as a tossed salad or served in a larger bowl. Dressing amount was also insufficient, so I choked down dry lettuce and cabbage and nuts. I asked for salt and pepper, and the server brought out plastic condiment cups with holes punched in the lids. I had to sprinkle some on and give them back. I'd give other dishes a try but cannot recommend the salads unless they rethink the presentation. And get some salt and pepper shakers! I love a good healthy salad. This had the healthy part, but definitely not the good.

Lovely presentation, many options for GF and vegan. Nice area to eat in. The avocado toast needs some seasoning and the bowls were good.

Great smoothies and smoothie bowls. The salads and grain bowls have been more disappointing lately, so I haven’t been going nearly as much. One small thing: the word “gypsy” is a slur against Romani people, so maybe change one of the menu item names.

Chakra Bowls has a charming, bright atmosphere. The few bigger tables are too close together, I really don't want to hear a persons personal conversation while I eat, because the three bigger tables are so close together. A bit overpriced as well. Other people would like this as well, but do not want to spend hard earned income. A small bottled peach tea was $6.

Carolyn F

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.

I have been to Chakra Bowls maybe five times. Each time I kick myself for going because I wind up so angry at how little food you get for the cost. Avocado toast cost extra for gluten-free bread, for a total of $16. I got one slice of toast. Even the photo that advertises the toasts shows two slices. And a 16 oz smoothie costs $11-12 dollars. The food is good but the portion:price ratio is awful.

Went here for lunch, got the poke bowl and a smoothie. The food is bland but okay. It was also over priced.

I’ve been a regular customer for a little over a year now and I’ve been noticing a lot of inconsistencies with the recipes and quality lately. Today, I ordered the super simple avocado toast but instead I was given the sweet and spicy avocado toast..this was probably the third or fourth time I have received the wrong item. There have also been times where i’ve order something and ingredients or toppings are missing..it appears that the employees are not familiar with the new recipes and often confuse them, leading them to also confuse the prices...it also appears as if the quality depends on who is making it..I do enjoy the fresh ingredients and variety in the menu but I do think for the price we are paying for these items, quality, recipes/ingredients, and prices should be consistent. I’m sorry to say but lately you guys have been consistently inconsistent.

The food and ingredients are excellent. Yes, it is expensive but it all looks and tastes great. However, the speed and service are beyond awful which is truly a shame. This place is terribly understaffed. A few weeks ago I ordered one bowl and a drink. It took nearly 30 minutes for me to receive it and keep in mind NO COOKING was required. You’ll also wait in line forever. I will say that this isn’t always the case: when the owners are there everything is super fast. However, when I walk by and see that they’re not there I will not go in anymore simply because of how slow it takes when they’re not present. I would strongly recommend Chakra Bowls if they could improve their level of service. The price really demands it.

came in for a smoothie as it’s the only local place in the area that has them. it was my first time so expectations were low. the space is super cool, very zen. the staff was wonderful and quick. the smoothie itself was disappointing. after a tip, it was about $15. it was the size of a small iced coffee. it was veryyyy sweet and truly not worth $15. not sure that I would go back considering the price but the staff and space were awesome.

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.

Katrina Maloney

I'm not sure what happened. Everyone seems to love this place. But I got the nourish bowl and it was super bland. They were out of avocado and when I asked about an alternative vegetarian protein, the two staff snickered. After going through the list, we found that they had chickpeas. My bowl wasn't that big and the amount of "protein" i.e. chickpeas was about 1/4 cup. I paid almost $20 for what was essentially a medium sized salad. Maybe it was just a bad day. I might try again as I like to support local places but I was disappointed. Update: I haven’t returned yet, but the owner called the day my review posted and apologized and asked me to return and try again. I thought that was really nice to be paying so much attention. I will try again when I need to get a salad! Second update: went back today. Food was great and tasted fresh. I had the soup (vegan) and toast…. Very good. Nice to be served in a real bowl. Would love to see some coffee drinks. Third and last update: Went in for late lunch with a friend. Maybe 30-45 minutes before they closed. The staff just simply are not that nice. They barely acknowledge you and act bored when you’re ordering, not a great welcome. I think it was one of the same staff members that I dealt with the first time I went. As we got close to the time they close they started cleaning the tables around us and putting up chairs while we were trying to finish our lunch. Spraying smelly cleaner, sweeping by our feet. It’s too bad because the owner seems to be very nice but I probably would replace some of the front line staff if it were my business.

They raised the price on some items and started to use smaller bowls. You can tell certain fruits are freezer burnt, too. The food overall is good, but not fully worth the price. Also, the wait is excessively long.

I want to like this place, but every bowl base is banana. The bowls are the smallest that you will find in the area. $14 for 3 bananas and a handful of other things tossed in? Sorry but that’s pathetic. I want healthy restaurants to thrive in the Hudson Valley, but come on lady…. You’re not going to be successful and you will not sell bananas for that price. I can’t convince myself or my husband to buy these even if you’re a local small business. Create more variety and price them accordingly for their size and lack of variety.

Ordered a salad, smoothie bowl, and a canned drink $40. Wanted to add chicken to my salad but passed as it was $5 extra. Will not be coming back. The prices are absolutely atrocious for the portion size. My salad is 2 cups of mixed greens with some bits of avocado, grape tomatoes, cheese, and onion. Does not look nearly as filling/Large as the photo. My smoothie bowl was $15 and fits in the palm of my hand. I really should have walked away when I heard the price but I had high hopes. Feel like I got robbed.

Normally I enjoy the juices... when they are actually available, as listed on your website! Wasn't to happy coming back 2 days in a row being told the juices would be here and none are available after driving a distance, not the first or second time either.

The young woman working the counter when I went for breakfast yesterday morning went out of her way to be cold and rude to me, and the avocado toast she made was bland and very stingy on every ingredient. No reason to ever come back to this lame place again.

This place was such a let down. Chicken with a salad that looks like came out of a can. The lettuce welted. All for a good whopping 35-40 dollars…for two people. A salad that was served in a bowl and was falling out and therefore couldn’t be mixed with the dressing. Edit on April 2024- I decided to give yall a try again and ordered an açaí bowl. Upon eating it I found that it had a ticker consistency that is similar to regular cow milk? Either that or the almond they claim to use was bad? Who knows but I’m lactose intolerant and I’m inclined to say that it was cow milk as I had an almost immediate reaction within an hour or so of eating their bowl. I paid 30 plus dollars for two açaí bowls that most likely had something that isint on the menu.

Been going here since they opened. Went today and found a hair in my smoothie bowl. I politely talked to one of the staff and she told me that since the bowl was half eaten that she could only remake a half of a bowl. She continued to say it’s none of their hair. I told her I wouldn’t be back and other staff member shrugged and said “oh well” Their customer service has gone down hill and prices have also substantially increased.
