I wanted to like this restaurant. Potentially CoreLife could be a great place to eat with an omnivore and vegetarian/vegan crowd. Sadly it was instead a disappointment. I dined for lunch with a fellow vegetarian and we ordered vegetable broth with brown rice and 4 different vegetables. There was no flavor - zero - flavor. We added salt. We tried adding sriracha. The brown rice was oily, the soup wasn't hot, the edamame and green peas were raw and undercooked. The sparse half slice of bread was dry and cardboard like. Then there I'd the low quality service. Cheerful or accommodating they are not! The staff is untrained and snarky. They could barely contain their contempt to explain 'like, this is how you order' complete with smirking and eye rolling. Near the end of the line, a staff member asks if you would like bread...and they present you with a space half slice of dry flavorless bread. It was so bad, we haven't forced ourselves to try it again. Possibly since it is new here, there might improvements. read more

We love CoreLife, we've tried almost everything on the menu from the broth bowls to the salads and everything is super fresh and very filling. Usually a lunch spot and always quick and tasty...the best way to get your salad on read more

Loved it, my only complaint is my falafel was burnt. This place is great, lots of healthy options!

I don't like this place, which is a shame because I like the concept. However, none of the menu items are very exciting, everything tastes kind of the same, and the ordering process is awful. Last time I was there, I ordered a small bowl double protein. When I got to the front to pay, the manager told me I shouldn't have ordered that and that he had to charge me for a large bowl double protein. No problem dude, I was only here because I had a coupon and I won't be coming back. read more

Core life eatery is a decent spot to get "healthier" options. The selection is pretty decent and the food is generally fresh.

I like what they are trying to do by bringing more healthy eatery options to the Valley but the food is very bland. I made my own salad with kale, and tofu, amongst other veggies and decided to get the ginger dressing which was meh. read more

This place is awesome. Pretty great value for some good salads. Ingredients all looked fresh. The cold brew coffee could use some work, but it's not bad. read more

Hidden gem!! It's a healthier option and competes with Chipotle but with more choices! On a two week work trip I wish I had discovered this place sooner but the name deterred me. Don't do what I did...go! Check this place out! I would have had my daily meals here everyday! read more

I'm so glad that there is another healthy option for a quick lunch. The recipes are very very similar to SweetGreen and along the same lines as HoneyGrow in that it is supposed to be fresh and local bowl-type meals. SweetGreen offered a slice of crusty bread with the salads, which CoreLife has unfortunately misinterpreted as a soft slice of sandwich bread in a sad plastic container at the end of the row. The stations could be cleaned up a bit and the employees need some work on customer service/friendliness. read more

I wanted to try this place for awhile and finally I got here. I ordered the spicy ginger beef broth bowl. The flavors are fresh and deliciosos. Very casual place. The staff super friendly and helpful read more

So many options for us gluten free vegan gals! All 4 of us with various diets had no problem finding choices here, with very considerate servers that don't mind customizing your order. The manager was so friendly and upbeat the day we came in (3rd visit) that I wanted to give a shout out to him and the great teamwork his crew had going on! Be back for sure:) read more

While reading through all these reviews, I noticed that many people are talking about their vegan food, but nobody is reviewing it. Well, I'm going to do that. I've visited the restaurant twice. The first time we used online ordering and the second we went in. I found the online ordering to be very convenient. My only gripe is that some of the toppings are missing for add-lbs. You will get more option going in. If you know the topping you want, you can add it in the text box for special instructions. Ordering in the restaurant itself is nice because you can ask questions and see all the toppings. My only gripe about it is that it's really loud. For a subway-like setup where there's a lot of customer employee interaction, the environment should be quiet enough that we can easily interact. Music should be background noise in restaurants. I like to hear my dining partners. The first time I tried a grain bowl and I was disappointed, so the second I tried a broth bowl and I was still disappointed. First, the grain bowl...I ordered online and I've never had a grain bowel. I expected it to be warm. For those of you that have never had a grain bowl, they really aren't. They start with a warm grain but nothing else on top is warm, so it doesn't stay warm. Being that is was a siracha grain bowl, I expected tons of flavor, but no, it was bland. I enjoyed that the tofu was roasted and it had good texture, but also bland. One to the broth bowl...total disappointment. The broth was so bland. My partner had a broth bowl (siracha beef) both times and thought it was great. Apparently they make flavorful bone broth, but not so flavorful veggie broth. They could stand to use mushrooms or miso to build flavor. On top of that, all the other broth bowls have rice or noodles and this just has greens. I don't really understand why? On top of all that we tried lemonade. The blueberry mint lemonade sounded so good, but was bitter. The spicy lemonade (can't remember the name) was good though. Overall this place was a disappointment, since I'm always looking for food that's healthy AND delicious. I don't know that I'd go back. read more

I ordered the southwest chicken wrap and I have a list on my phone of what I usually ask for in it because I don't like everything that comes along with it. The guy that was in the beginning was rude when I listed what I wanted, "well yea that comes with it" yes I know that already there's no need to be rude. They also forgot the Buffalo sauce for the chicken in my other order. The food counter was messy and didn't look like they kept up with the cleaning, and ingredients were all mixed aswell. But overall I still love the food I just think the staff needs improvement and more of a welcoming feel. read more

All I can say is WOW! If you haven't been here before, give it a try. You will add it to you list of favorite places!

I am not sure what all the rave reviews are about. Granted, I am just passing through while visiting family. But I just paid $11 for a middling salad. And they screwed up my order- I asked for the ginger tofu grain salad and they made me a ginger beef green salad. I was so tired after a day on the road and at the hospital I didn't even realize what was on my plate until I sat down. Good thing I am not a vegetarian or have food allergies. Interesting concept, and I think it might catch on. Certainly healthier than the other places I found nearby. And it is open until 9pm (Someone from Allentown please explain why most of the restaurants close at 7pm?). The drinks are phenomenal...loved the basil lemonade with cucumber juice. read more

Hubby is definitely not into "fancy" take out, so I had to wait until a day where he wasn't starving to stop in here. I love the idea but the execution wasn't my favorite. Ordered a broth bowl and before I could tell her the modification I wanted (I hate kale...just hate it!), she already had all the greens in my bowl so it was too late (and I'm not one to complain so I just dealt with it). I love bone broths, but theirs was just okay...not awful by any means, but not the best. I did love that they offer a smaller portion size which was still more than large enough for me. I liked hubby's grain bowl much better - he got their normal size which was pretty large (on pair with Chipotle bowl) and I thought it was pretty good (hubby thought it was a bit bland but he did eat it). Really enjoyed the plain and cranberry cayenne lemonades, as well as the cold brew coffee (with a carafe of almond milk next to it). I thought prices were really reasonable considering the quality and the organic/free range nature of their offerings. Staff was super friendly - we were dining with the baby and they offered us a high chair (she's still too wee for one) and stopped over twice to see how we were doing. I'd come back with friends if they wanted to go but I'm not rushing back there either. Nothing was bad but it just didn't really hit the spot for me, either. read more

Very good broth bowls... Especially the chicken tortilla. Food seems as fresh as can be. Line moves pretty quick. I went in once and stood there while the workers saw me and just kept cleaning. Hello?! Rose is an exceptional employee and always smiles... Is super attentive... Friendly and professional. She should train the others. Managers are friendly, however they need to teach some of their people to at least PRETEND like they're happy to be there. (Heck, at least smile). Go for the food and say hi to Rose who will leave you smiling. read more

Wasn't Greeted, they also forgot my cup in my to go order, also the girl by the register (to-go) was on her phone the whole time and didn't even look up at me or acknowledge I was there. Lastly the tropical green tea tasted like ink! Not to mention the small portions they give you. I had maybe 2 pieces of shredded chicken. thank you, next. 10/10 would NOT recommend! read more

So this is my thing food was good. However, the way people interact in a business goes a long way. People that work there are just sad and just want you to order and pay that is it. Wouldn't come again even if the food is good. Good customer is part of a customer experience. read more

Super healthy, super delicious. Healthy super food filled dishes never tasted so good. Great teas and fruit juices as well.

Delicious yet convenient, great selection of a variety of flavorful dishes! Quick yet Healthy option if you are short on time:)

CoreLife has always been a family favorite, but recently the service has become unacceptable. Workers are rude and speak in tones that create an unenjoyable and toxic atmosphere. One even rolled her eyes when asked to change gloves due to a customer's severe food allergies. Management must step in and fix this. I am appalled. read more

I am absolutely in love with their black and bleu salad. It's so delicious and healthy for you. You can get one of their suggested salad or rice bowls or you can create your own. This place is definitely my go to when I'm craving a salad. read more

Complicated order system...signs say build your own or they have several to pick from. I wanted to pick one and then kick it up but I really didn't get the feeling that was option. Staff friendly, new and learning. Did a grain bowl with Steak and rice noodles. I was nervous that grain meant there would be rice or quinoa in there. However, it didn't. It definitely tasted fresh. Portion sizes were great and relative to price. Eating kale didn't bother me as it was prepared tasty. We also got the tortilla chicken bone broth. Nice, fresh taste. We will try this place again using the app to order. It was nice to get something "quick" and "affordable " that was healthy. read more

It's pretty good for a quick bite but a little pricy for the lack of overall quality. The salads have some imagination but the taste is typically all blended in and no complexity. The greens are definitely not top shelf and taste and feel like paper. They rely too much on their sugary dressings so if you close your eyes, it just tastes like a big McDonalds salad. Not bad but not great. read more

I really enjoyed both meals I had here. The food is extremely fresh and seems very healthy. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The one thing I am a little surprised by is that they have a ton of drinks with extremely high sugar content which is surprising for a healthy place. I wish they had more low sugar options that are healthier. I will definitely return though. read more

I've been to CoreLife a few times and each time the food was fantastic. I love being able to grab a quick and healthy meal. I love the cayenne lemonade and beet lemonade! I was there close to closing time the one evening and wasn't treated so well so I chose to come back another day which is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars for this review. Love CoreLife :) read more

A counter service salad restaurant. The food was fresh, healthy and tasty. Even the beverage choices were healthier. The decor is modern, with tables, booths and outdoor seating. They provide real utensils, instead of plastic. Will definitely be back, as I feel like I'm making wiser choices here. read more

Healthy selection of fast food! Fresh organic greens, with all the toppings. Fast and Friendly service, someone can always help you when ordering and make suggestions. I love the beet lemonade light and refreshing. A nice healthy addition to our town. read more

While the food is good the service when doing a take out order is terrible! We put in an order and arrived at the time it was said to be ready, 20 minutes after the order was placed. We walked in and there were no customers in line or waiting to be helped and yet we had to wait an additional 10 minutes as our order had yet to be STARTED. It was a slow night, unacceptable to have to wait nearly 30 minutes total for a salad, rice bowl, and a soup. read more

Awesome healthy deliciousness! Great food and service. Try it and you will get hooked!

Great place to eat, recommend it for any time and with any group. Lots of options and healthy foods. Also useful for on the go schedules and there is an app as well. read more

Wow... Talk about good karma! Happen chanced to find this pin ace on my way home from NYC! Healthy, happy, and delicious! The line went quick and everyone was super friendly and helpful. We need this place in Pittsburgh. Fresh and steps beyond Subway. Thank you Gods!!! read more

Delicious and healthy food with endless ingredient combinations. Staff is attentive and knowledgeable. Portions are decent, flavored teas are excellent. read more

Yeahhhhh... don't go here if you enjoy eating large portions or any copious amounts of steak or chicken or anything like that, I don't enjoy eating an overrated salad that costs 5 times more (even with double meat). Will not go back. read more

CoreLife Eatery was OK. We had a very long wait, which was understandable because it was new, but there were a lot of workers behind the counter, and it seemed like it should have moved faster. I ordered a large noodle bowl with beef, and it was pretty good. The ingredients were very fresh, but it tasted pretty bland. The lemonade was very sweet. I had my entire bowl, but the meal wasn't very filling and I was still pretty hungry about an hour after I left. read more

I love it here! Great food, great staff, great location, you name it! Healthy & tasty meal for an affordable price. I would much rather spend $12 for lunch here than $12 at lunch at Panera Bread read more

Have you ever wanted the chipotle experience applied to other genres of food? well look no further! This restaurant is pretty tasty for what it is. You can choose between salad, rice, or broth/ soup bowls that give you a variety of veggies and your choices of meats. The price point is reasonable, calories low, and taste very refreshing. For a quick healthy lunch I definitely recommend. You feel like you lose five pounds just by walking into the restaurant. Also try the Greek yogurt blue cheese and beet lemonade... delicious!! read more

Loved the southwest chicken grain bowl! Super healthy and fresh ingredients. Good restaurant atmosphere with fun, colorful decor. Downfall is that it's too expensive! Sad that healthy food usually is - they pull you in with $5.95 bowl advertised but that's the small salad with no protein. read more

The new steak warm rice bowl is excellent! The steak is tender and the veggies are all well seasoned. The Brussels sprouts are my favorite. You also get two falafels! Can't go wrong. They allow substitutions too. read more
