Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Called for Sunday brunch. Lovely selection of Indian brunch options & drinks. Especially enjoyed the masala scrambled eggs. Enjoyed the cafe too it’s really quirky. Good prices - just got everything right. Well worth a visit!

Popped in for brunch, lovely venue, good food and a helpful team, able to alter all dishes to suit (a couple nearby asked for some tweaks to the standard dishes and were granted all assistance). The vegetarian breakfast with a masala twist was great as...was the masala eggs Benedict.More

Whilst on a day out in Bakewell my daughter in law recommended the Chakra Lounge for lunch. We had not booked but received a friendly welcome and were shown to a table in the window. My grandson was with us and loved playing with the...toys, games and books that were available. The restaurant is a vegan and Indian cuisine. We had a variety of vegan drinks including a Tumeric latte that my son ordered and it was delicious. I asked for the Nachodums and this is a small dish and made of nachos in a chickpea salsa with onions, tomato, coriander chillis and smashed avocado. Wow it was lovely. All of us are enjoyed the food. We spent a lovely hour in there and can highly recommend it.More

Very busy, even a little after the lunchtime rush, but they found us a space. Really cool place, fantastic atmosphere, staff are fab, very helpful and knowledgeable about their food and menu. The dishes brought out looked so delicious and it tasted delicious too. I...had the best milkshake ever, blueberry with crushed pomegranate on top, it tasted like heaven. My other half said his vegetarian dish was fragrant and subtle, but quite spicy as well. Beautifully cooked. In fact, everything was perfect, including my pancakes with fruit and ice cream. I am so glad we tried The Chakra Lounge and would definitely recommend eating here. What a find. Everything the reviews say and then some. Excellent.More

So, after searching the streets of Buxton for something that resembled a decent Café, we saw this quirky and vibrant Café and liked their vision about supporting local suppliers of quality ingredients, so in we want. The lady that served us was really warm and...helpful and we ordered 2 tumeric and ginger lattes with a shot of coffee on the side. Wow, what a fab combination and we had a blueberry scone each to satisfy our scone fetish. Both were amazing, and we couldn't say enough good things about this gorgeous cage. Buxton has a gem in The Chakara. Make the trip and effort to visit this lovely placeMore

How to make a visit to Buxton memorable! This small fronted cafe has a great atmosphere and fantastic welcoming staff. As the name suggests your not going to get run of the mill chips and burger but an indulgent menu full of spice and promise....From the array of teas we chose matcha and pistachio and a turmeric chia but we were spoilt and could of drank them all. Prices are very decent and match Costa prices. We both had The Bombay Benedict (chefs kiss) ...... so folks this is a definite must visit in Buxton. We will definitely be going again and againMore
