CoreLife Eatery

I used to be a huge CoreLife supporter until I got food poisoning this past Monday and couldn't get anyone to answer my call, Facebook message, or email. I wanted to let them know what I ate so they could investigate, as there is zero doubt that it was their food that caused me to get sick. It was a vegetarian bowl so it's scary to think they left something out that long that it would get someone sick.

What has happened here? Got a wrap and a bowl today. Had an actual rock in the wrap and a piece of plastic wrap in the bowl.
11/11/24 update - I reached out to them like they asked as soon as they responded and I have still no heard anything

I ordered a Buddha bowl. No sweet potatoes were on it.

Best place I've eaten at. Fresh and flavorful.
Sucks they don't have one in or around chicago.

Build your own salad bowl with or without grains and lots of topping options. Decent amount of food and value and good ingredients.

Dry salad. No tofu in house. Ingredients poorly distributed/tossed onto salad. Did I mention DRY salad? Apparent ownership does not sample product. Second bad experience, shame on me. You need to be in better touch. See ya. Don’t come back at me with some coupon we’re sorry corporate make good. Salads are easy to make, tofu does not need 24 hours to press.

The place has a nice modern vibe to it but the food is just “meh” at best. We went specifically looking for purple rice bowls. We ordered and later found there was only brown rice in both our bowls. I went to ask the person serving us and was told they didn’t have purple rice that day but it was “the same”. Anyway I was in no mood for arguing so quietly ate my food and left. Never going back.

This place is starting to go down tge drain slowly. It went from having excellent customer service to have sub par customer service at best. Fire the local kids, especially the one with the piercings in her face, a bring back the guy who was there when you opened.

I did not enjoy my meal at all. Everything is served cold and even the things that were supposed to be served hot were served cold. Not cool, cold. I really threw my money at the window here.

I understand this place has a lot of healthy eating options, and not being a large fan of regular rice was pleasantly surprised to see that they served rice noodles. Was not pleasantly surprised to find out that they serve their rice noodles Ice Cold.Ordered their barbecue Chicken Ranch bowl, entirely too little barbecue and entirely too much Ranch.Found the entire experience to be like chewing grass with little occasional small chunks of chicken with a slightly barbecue taste and Ranch constantly bombarding me on the chewing experience.Only took about 5 or 6 bites, looked into one of the many glass windows and saw myself making a very convincing cow impression, chewing my cud. Will never be back, couldn't pay me to come back, not if this was the last dining establishment on Earth.Oh, and another important fact, your lemonade tasted like you forgot the sugar and nade. Like drinking lemon juice out of a bottle, but worse.Shame on you

I love getting the Ahi tuna poke bowl. The customer service is stellar, and the place is always inviting.

Vegetarian options: They have an option to make your own bowl, and they have plenty of things to choose from

Hit and miss on whether someone makes your bowl correctly. Maybe 3/5 times. But even when it isn't made correctly, it's tasty.
