Didn't get a picture because we ordered takeout for work, but everything was ordered and on time for ordering for pick up and the process was smooth and easy. Everybody enjoyed their meals. I got chicken and steak table with a lot of additions. I love how you can customize it and all the ingredients are super fresh so it makes the bowls very flavorful and tasty. Would recommend if you're in the area we're looking for a good healthy pick up options. read more

Warm and toasty on a cold winter's day. Beef bone broth hits the spot. Teriyaki Chicken bowl hold the quinoa but add chickpeas and grape tomatoes. Ordered in the app for pickup and ate in store. January features $9.99 bowls or wraps. read more

This is the second time that I have tried CoreLifeEatery. I dined in this time and it was an overall good experience. I ordered the Greek Chicken and Quinoa. It has grilled chicken, chopped romaine, tzatziki sauce, cucumbers, tomatoes, hummus, feta, and a cucumber basil dressing. I ordered the regular size. The flavors were very good! I think I was actually wanting a little more romaine in the bowl. But I would order it again. And next time, I may order the larger size. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant was very clean and there was plenty of seating. I know that it is probably just not part of their menu to have sodas as an option but I would have loved a soda! But this is not their fault and again, I will definitely love to try more menu items!! read more

The music is loud, the room is very frigid cold. Bring a sweater. The Thai noodles are cold (thai noddles are supposed to be warmAll the smoothies dont taste like the flavor ordered -- they put bananas in the smoothie and only taste like banana I couldn't even taste my mango in my smoothie. We spent $50 for 4 mediocre bowls and lame smoothies. The steak looked medium rare. The pork looked and tasted like it was charred. Plus soft tap water was free My mom said "está súper malo" read more

If you value your time at all, do not order here! Order was placed for pickup with ready time of 550pm and order was still not ready 30 minutes later after asking multiple times about the order read more

I ordered online through their app and 20 minutes after my food was supposed to be ready, they haven't started the order. Meanwhile the store is about to close and the workers are helping themselves to drinks or standing around instead of filling the multiple online orders, as I was not the only one waiting on food. I'm bummed bc I used to love CoreLife :/ read more

I love corelife!! It's essentially a subway type concept but for salads and broth bowls. They do have the predetermined menu as well but you can customize them to your liking. I've tried a couple menu items here but I always go back to the southwest grilled chicken and purple rice blend salad. It is SO good and I love their chicken here. The dressing they use is a jalapeño lime cilantro vinaigrette and it is just so tasty. This is a great place for lunch with decent prices and I would say the portions are pretty big! read more

CoreLife Eatery - Southwest Grilled Chicken - New American Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I'm giving three stars because I've had mixed experiences when it comes to food quality. Starting out with the positive: I love their Buddha bowl, kale caesar salad, and blueberry colada smoothie. The first time I had the kale caesar salad, everything was just right. And now for the negative: The second time I had their kale caesar salad was on my most recent visit. The chicken was extremely dry and so tough that it was almost inedible. Then one time I found a hair in my bowl, which ruined the rest of the meal for me. read more

I love CoreLife Eatery! They do food right here. I saw that they had a location here in Grand Rapids so I immediately bookmarked it and came in for dinner last night to eat some of their delicious food. My recent addiction with them is their tacos, so I went with the Greek Chicken Tacos which were fabulous. They really make eating healthy fun here, and if one were closer to my home I would eat here way more often. Prices are on point and everything here is really super good. Staff's super friendly and if you want a solid meal, please stop in here. They literally have something for everyone. read more

I've been to CoreLife 4x and 2 of those 4 times have been at this location. The food is good here and on par with other locations, but they have some operational stuff to figure out here. Weekday lunches are a hot mess. The line is crazy long and the order online/pick up is always a mess. I've ordered online both times & they're NEVER ready at the time you put down. So, put down an earlier pick up time. Furthermore -- the first time - I didn't get everything I ordered and I had to come back. The second time - half my order was at the pick up rack and the other half was on the counter. Why?! My usually order is the: *Sriracha Ginger Roasted Tofu (Baby spinach + shredded kale, roasted organic tofu, spicy broccoli, carrots, ginger, sprouts, basil, sriracha. Vegetarian) with added chicken. *Bone Broth! Channeling my inner baby yoda! But in all seriousness, their bone broth is pretty legit. It reminds me of the one at get at Trader Joe's in the refrigerated section, which is fav bone broth to date! read more

CoreLife Eatery - My usual. - New American Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I ordered a quinoa tofu salad and it had good flavor. The ingredients were fresh and there were options for smoothies and healthy fruit and vegetable juices that one can order. I had a smoothie and it was tasty. The place was pretty clean. Pretty good for a chain. read more

3.5 Stars. Cute place, lots of parking. Great for vegans and vegetarians. They serve all kinds of bowls, which I love.... Grain Bowls, Broth Bowls, Green Bowls, Make your own Bowl, etc. Lots of options, everything looks super fresh and beautiful. It's laid out in a Subway style ordering format, in that you order your bowl and walk with it as it's made to answer questions they have about what you may want. It's a great system. My only notes are that they charge an up charge for cheese, which I'm 100% fine with, but then they gave me less than a teaspoon of cheese? I could barely find it in there. Really? I said I'd pay for it because I want it. If you need to charge more do it, but I wanted cheese. Also, there was a spider on the edge of my bowl. So yah. read more

First time visiting this restaurant. I ordered the Teriyaki broccoli & chicken bowl. It was delicious! The chicken was a bit sparse, and in tiny little pieces. Not at all as advertised. But it was delicious. read more

A really great option for a fast high quality meal. They have a decent drink selection too. The service has been adequate.

The food is pretty decent and I appreciate healthier options but every single time I go I wait longer than I expect to (smoothies take forever) and I've been the only one in line and still had to wait excessively long for them to make online orders first. I just went in and tried to use a gift card and was getting tired from waiting for them to figure out how it worked - they even advertise gift cards outside the store so that's probably something they should figure out. Oh also - the checkout thing makes it super hard to figure out how not to tip - even my husband came home complaining about it once. I've actually gotten so frustrated I asked the cashier how not to tip which is just awkward - poorly designed and I've never had that issue anywhere else, and I do tip if I have a good experience. read more

Great salad, very fresh, reasonable prices It's confusing the first time because there's no clear prices for ordering and nothing I could see for what drinks were available. read more

We stopped in here one day when looking for a place for lunch in a new town before an event. We knew we didn't want anything greasy so when we looked up healthier options this came up (we thought it was a gym based on the building sign!) The menu has a wide variety of options for everyone - salads, bowls, broth/soups, and lots of protein options. Both of our meals were delicious and the staff was very friendly but somewhat lacking knowledge of their own options when we asked. There are lots of juice and tea options as well to acompany your meal! read more

** download the app before you visit and you'll get $5 off your first order (as of 11/5/21) ** Most excellent eats. Super quick, very tasty, and good price for the portions. This is one of those places where you pick a protein or two then 4-5 add-ins or you can select off some pre-defined options to make it easy (the Spicy Thai Noodle Bowl is a-freaking-mazing). read more

Coming from living in Colorado for a few years, my wife and I quickly noticed the lack of healthy choices in Michigan...just the way of life compared to a place like Denver. Finding this place put us right back to that fresh, tasty, healthy food that we loved so much out West. There are so many options, from salads, to rice bowls, to broth bowls! Tasty tasty! I would definitely recommend for any of those craving some fresh goodness! read more

CoreLife Eatery - Pork bowl and yummy soup - New American Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

This CoreLife Eatery location is close to Fresh Thyme and Chow Hound, so my boyfriend and I stopped in for a quick dinner while running some errands. The space is big and open, and set up pretty much identically to the location in Grandville. The girl at the counter who greeted us was really friendly and happy to give suggestions. The menu is a bit overwhelming with lots of options, plus you can really customize your meal however you want by swapping things out and adding other items. I also think the menu has grown a bit since I visited the Grandville location when they first opened. If you're indecisive I'd check the menu out before going in so you can have a better handle on what to order! Luckily there wasn't a line so we were able to read a little and take our time. I chose the tuna poke fire bowl, which has Ahi tuna poke, avocado, pickled jalapeños, pickled red onions, pickled red cabbage, sesame Sriracha sprouts, and purple rice. The suggested sauce is "fire" sauce, which I definitely added. My boyfriend got the steak, bacon & bleu cheese green bowl (chopped romaine + mesclun mix, grass fedsteak, bacon, cranberries, walnuts, tomatoes, gorgonzola). Both bowls were a big portion (you can order a smaller size) and packed with lots of fresh ingredients. The tuna poke fire bowl was pretty spicy! I was surprised as I didn't think it would have as much heat. The pickled red cabbage added a vinegary crunch, which was delicious! The avocado really helped to cut some of the spice, so that was great. The fish was super fresh and tasty, and the rice was cooked perfectly and had a great texture. I had some bites of the steak and greens from the salad--the meat was tender if a bit cooked more than I prefer, and the greens were crisp and fresh, nothing wilty here. While I enjoyed the tuna poke fire bowl I'd probably get something different next time, just because there are SO many options and I want to try them all! All the menu items sound really tasty to me. I could eat here over and over again and never get bored. The other great thing about CoreLife is their selection of fresh juices, lemonades, and teas. I love to create my own mix by combining different options. I mixed the honey ginger lemonade with the cayenne cranberry and it was delicious! The beet lemonade is super beet-y if you like beets! Overall the price is pretty decent for a fresh, quick, and reasonably healthy meal. We spent about $30 for the two regular sized bowls and two drinks. I am glad to have this location a bit closer to my house and am looking forward to my next visit! read more

The food is just okay, I don't think it's worth all the hype. Too expensive for what you get

We ate lunch here today. The food was fresh and delicious and flavorful! The manager was friendly, and hard-working, making sure everything was clean inside and outside the restaurant. The service was wonderful! It's our new favorite restaurant!! read more

I've ordered from here a handful of times and every time I order takeout they get the order wrong. Ingredients are always missing from what I ordered. Today two ingredients were missing from my bowl, the food was cold when it should be warm and the dressing was runny and watered down. Never again. read more

It's probably a good thing that I don't live near here, because I'd go everyday and be broke. I'd also lose a bunch of weight from being so healthy and my clothes wouldn't fit and I'd have to buy new. So, yes, it's a good thing I don't live near one of these amazing restaurants. Everything is so fresh! The colors of the veggies are bright and vibrant. You can make your own dish or choose from the suggestions on the board. I decided to go with the Steak, Bacon and Blue Cheese salad with raspberry vinaigrette. I'm craving it again because it was so good! The tortilla soup also looked Devine. I tried the honey ginger lemonade mixed with the pink lemonade (strawberry and ?). It was also awesome! Ambiance was bright and clean. Parking was easy. Bathrooms were clean. Can't wait to go back! read more

CoreLife is a fast causal restaurant specializing in healthy, simple plates and beverages. They offer several salad, grain, and broth bowls, with your choose of veggies and protein (unrelated- when did we all start calling it 'protein'? I remember when it was just called "meat"). Anyway, they offer different kinds of "proteins", including tofu, and they have veggie only bowls. Their drink station with the different waters and juices was my favorite part- i mixed a berry and a lemonade together for something new. The restaurant has plenty of seating inside and out. When i visited they had just opened to the public so the staff seemed to be going slow to get the menu down, but otherwise, everyone was friendly and helpful. Ps- they also offer catering and online- pick up orders, which is great for me when I'm coming home from work or i don't want to deal with people white i wait in a line. read more

Great place to check out for healthy, fast, not very expensive food! I got the chicken and noodle broth bowl, which was kind of bland but the veggies were all delicious. My husband got the steak noodle broth bowl which he really liked - I tasted it and it definitely had more kick to it than my bowl! To drink I had the beet lemonade which was super refreshing and they gave us a side of mandarin oranges for my son. I probably wouldn't get the chicken broth bowl again unless I was sick or something but there were other items I want to go back and try! read more

I was excited for this place, but the service was slow and register staff very unfriendly and short. It took a while to check out as she was very distracted. Salad was bland. Disappointing overall. Good location, nice atmosphere. read more

The food fantastic! I started weight waters and I can build my own bowl from the free food list and the cucumber dressing is like 4 pts. The only problem I have is I can go on weekends (it is a 45 min drive). The weekend staff is not as friendly as I was told. The first point of contact told me I had 5 items for my large bowl I could add. I had ordered before the egg as well, but I had to by pass. I honestly would have paid extra lol. The person checking out was fast unfriendly as well. I honestly almost asked if them two had a tiff. I am on the heavier side but hey I am down 30 pounds and proud to keep going. I know this is a healthier place makes me wonder if the staff only greets the healthier looking people nicely. But the fresh food is so nice. read more

The buy 2 for $10.99 is a great deal! I live super close but had only eaten here a couple of times. Lately, it's my go to takeout lunch spot as I work mostly from home. Super fast, fresh, and good! I don't like fast food so this is as close to "fast food" as I get! And its good for me! read more

Finally tried something besides the Thai noodles with Korean beef bowl and it was so good. And the Thai noodles are always good too. Nice quick and feels not awful for you. read more

I love both this one and the one in Grandville, have probably been about 5 times between the 2 locations. We have to go to nearby for errands and I try to time it with lunch so I have an excuse to stop here. It's nice to have a place that is both healthy and fast. I like the relatively recent addition of the taco menu, and encourage you to try it on the naan bread which is so soft and crispy at the same time. Because everything is assembled right in front of you you can always switch your ingredients to your exact liking . Don't forget sides and soups! The coconut chicken and Brussels sprouts are my personal favorites. You can also do a combo with sides. It can get a bit busy or noisy on a lunch rush but just head to the outdoor patio to enjoy a pleasant healthy meal in the sun. read more

First time here. I am not a "clean eater" by nature so l was a bit intimidated to come in and worried about not finding something l'd like. I was really hungry and ordered the Spicy Thai Chicken & Noodles bowl, with the cashew dressing. Very generous portion. Pretty decent amount of cubed chicken and VERY spicy! Exactly how l like it! The Cashew dressing is super good. I almost thought there were cashews in it. I was offered a complimentary half slice of grain bread. Would have like a pat of butter, but maybe that's not "clean?" Haha.Had the Tropical green tea, which was very refreshing. Lots of cool drinks to choose from, like Beet Lemonade. Modern, minimalist decor, cool music, lots of windows, which l love. There is a patio, too, which l will try as soon as the weather cooperates. Lots if interesting menu choices. I will be back! read more

If you're looking for healthy food that still tastes good this place is for you. Several grain bowls and salads to pick from and you get a decent amount of food that's very filling. Would really recommend trying the tuna poke fire bowl if you like spicy food. The Korean BBQ bowl was flavorful but the meat was dry. They also have several fresh lemonades and teas with flavors like cranberry cayenne or beet lemonade. read more

CoreLife is a great place to go for fresh, healthy food. Everything I've had there has been fantastic. I recommend the Ranch Flank Steak bowl (I usually sub tofu for the falafel and add pickled cabbage). You can also get a to-go cup of their bone broth. The beef broth is amazing! Also, their homemade lemonades and teas are always so good. The staff is really helpful too, if you've never been there before and aren't sure what to order. read more

So many choices, it was hard to pick! I tried the Thai spicy chicken bowl, and it was amazing. The combination of tangy & spicy, the crunchy texture, and the mix of cold veggies & warmed chicken make for a really great bite. I ordered the small bowl and it was very filling. Will definitely have this again. It's also nice not to feel sluggish after eating and to know what I ate was good for me. read more

The food itself is very good. I love the options and the calorie counts. The lemonade is great and I really like the variety. This is a kid friendly place as well. Why 3 stars? They have a problem with consistent service. DO NOT ORDER ONLINE. I know it is tempting to skip the line or order for a family dinner. Just don't. I've had Oranges in my kids Spaghetti despite asking online for it on the side. I've had to go back twice to get everything in a "yep it's ready to go" order. Double Protien: forget it. It won't happen and you just wasted your money. Don't order to go either if you want hot food. No one likes cold soup. Going through the line is the only way to get what you want. Even then skip double protein because it's never really double. One star less as well because the portion size has gone down. When they first opened, a big salad was the size I'd make at home, namely big with lots of veggies. Now, its a little larger than a side salad but not worth the supposed upgrade. read more

Wow! Fast food that you can feel good about eating. Fresh and fantastic on the tastebuds. My spicy Thai soup was an adventure of flavors that really filled me up. Don't like spice? Don't sweat it, there is a broad menu to satisfy any eater. Also cool kid selections. The atmosphere is open and clean. I highly recommend this joint! read more
