Chakra Bowls- Poughkeepsie — Restaurant in Town of Poughkeepsie

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...

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...

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...
