We tried this place today and we will definitely be back. Had the warm rice bowl with steak and everything was perfect! The meat has medium rare to medium and tender. The veggies were fresh and delicious. The falafel balls were the best that I have ever had. Be careful of the jalapeno, because they are you know, hot peppers.
There are many other great offerings on the menu that we will have to go back to try, and there is a delightful assortment of lemon aid, tea and juice based drinks.
Glad to see this in Wilkes-Barre. Go and eat there!
Absolutely delish! They are so accommodating with changes / substitutions and build your own. One of my fav's is the Southwest Grilled Chicken & Wild Rice but made into a (chicken) Broth Bowl! Sub-ing Baby Spinach for the romaine, and no jalapeno. To die for! And the employees are the best, so friendly and helpful!
My daughter always eats here and has wanted me to try their salads. We stopped there in Black Friday for lunch and I was not disappointed! I got the steak, bacon and bleu cheese bowl minus the bleu cheese with Caesar dressing. I stepped outside my comfort zone, as I usually only eat chicken on salads, well let me tell you this salad was fantastic!! The portion was ample and I had a hard time finishing a small, which I normally have no trouble other places. The hospitality was fantastic and the atmosphere was great!
Best place ever! Hands down best place in the area to eat. Fresh, Healthy, Low in cost and Fun place.
I cannot say enough about Pete and the staff. Having a medical issue, it is hard for me to eat out. They have made every effort to learn my order, take all precautions, and go above and beyond so that I can eat comfortably at Corelife. The food is great but the customer service far outweighs what I have experienced before.
Core Life food is delicious and most important healthy. The portions are very filling. We have loved everything we have ordered on our many visits.
We would like to acknowledge waitness Any Jackson( we believe that was her name) for her courtness, fast and pertise preparation of our order. She should receive a promotion. We recommend this eatery to everyone. Lyle and Miriam Turners Pianos, Mountain Top
Love this place! Food is excellent and employee are so nice also! Addicted to tuna poke salad and Brussels sprouts to die for!!!
Tuna poke was awesome! Loved the ginger lemonade too! Definitely would recommend this restaurant!
Really good healthy food and plenty of options for gluten free vegans
We ate your food for the first time today. We had the tuna poke and spicy chicken and ancient grain bowls, and the shitake mushroom and roasted tofu broth. All were delicious and filling! Will definitely be eating Corelife again!!!
Even though they had more spotted lantern flies than I’ve ever seen we still had a good time. We went with a romaine purple rice chicken bowl. My best friend got his bowl with bbq chicken but I stuck with regular. I get extra ranch on the side and also love their Mac and cheese. I like this place for a take out lunch or healthier options in general. Since I’ve started going here I’ve been back multiple times so if you’re thinking about trying it go for it.
seriously a five star review. i take my food very serious and this is the healthiest spot when it comes to food. i get a burrito double serving of the buffalo chicken and the burrito is so big for 12 dollars. their drinks are so delicious you can pick and choose which one you want to try next. pro tip: ask for double serving , they arent stingy like chipotle!
Food was really good and we really enjoyed, but there's a few things I would change.
We had chickpeas in one meal and they still had the skin on them (making them kind of hard and chewy), protein in the salads was kind of lacking (felt like less than a chicken tender worth of chicken) and lastly it's kind of dirty in the food prep area. There was a lot of dust and grease on a lot of surfaces ( I attached a picture of the top of a heat lamp that was filthy).
Overall it was still a good meal, I just think they have the potential to do much better.
If you are looking for healthy, fresh foods made with wholesome ingredients you would be hard pressed to find a place better than Core Life.
Their menu is a mixture of broth bowls (soups, basically), grain bowls, and salads. Don't be afraid to ask questions, the staff at this location was super friendly and helpful. They even agreed to let me take a photo of the counter, though it was busy. ^_^
Though their menu is at first a bit inaccessible due to the sheer number of options I would recommend going with one of their pre-made choices so you can get a feel for what is possible.
This is an excellent choice for vegans and vegetarians, as their choices of veggies is staggering. Everything can also be made with tofu and their tofu is one of the more flavorful I've come across.
I've been to two Core Life locations, this one and the one in Syracuse, NY. This one is *clearly* extremely new, everything is spotless.
Overall, I highly recommend a visit.
First time here. Food was fantastic and the employees were very helpful. I got a smoothie and my only advice would be to add more fruit. It had no flavor
I'd have to say this place offers the best salads you can buy hands down. Drinks are pretty awesome too. The fig one sort of tastes like a fancy apple cider
What a nice surprise to find this near my hotel. The food was yummy - I had the Sriracha tofu but I'll be back to try more!
Delicious, delicate and wide variety of food...the place is perfectly clean, the food also look fresh and delicious, and it tastes as good as it looks.
There are inside and outside seating...the view is amazing.
I got 2 combo offer: chicken chipotle, tomato and basil soup and beets lemonade....everything tasted balance and very delicious
Second corelife location I’ve visited. I’ve also been to the one in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This location was much larger but just as satisfying! Everything was delicious, fresh, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. The staff worked quickly and were kind to us. Great job!
Today was my first time in this establishment, I was warmly greeted and my meal was prepared quickly. The tall human behind the counter was especially courteous, and recommended a side, I choose to indulge in the Mac and cheese. All of the food was great and not over spiced or salted.
One thing I did take notice of, the preparation area was a bit messy, however, I did not subtract any stars due to the fact my visit was shortly after the lunch rush and while I was eating my meal several employees were straightening it out.
I have not had many great experiences in eateries lately so my visit to yours was a welcome change. Thank you and carry on.
Food here was amazing and fresh. Tried a broth bowl which was great. My only suggestion is to not get peppers for the broth bowls at least, the crunch is nice but almost to fresh and under cooked for a soup. The sprouts and mushrooms all steamed well in the steamer. Also had the apple cider which was delicious.
Want to eat healthy? This is the place for you! Salads, chicken, broths. Green Tea. Try it! You'll love it! Prices and service are excellent, too.
I wish we had this place in Tallahassee where I live. I tried the one in Wilkes-Barre. I had a build your own bowl with quinoa, lettuce, black beans, garbanzo beans, chicken, onions, tomatoes, guacamole and a couple of other ones and had the Asian dressing. Very good. VERY fresh!! Left me feeling full and healthy and NOT stuffed.
Just stumbled on to this place and honestly it was delightful. Great value and their smoothy and juices were awesome. I order the Korean BBQ pork bowl with the fried egg and it was great! Totally hit the spot! I'd go back again for the beat lemonade alone!
