Review Corelife Eatery - Portage

LOVE THIS PLACE! 🤩 Healthy eating options, packed with flavor and served by friendly staff! I absolutely love visiting CoreLife. The food options are endless, I get to customize my order and they also have tons of unique drinks. The staff of always friendly and helpful. They have a nice outdoor eating area, under the pergola with string lights - such a cool place! I highly recommend trying their “Carrot Chili Vinaigrette”!

I have been to the CoreLife franchise in other states as well and I'm relatively familiar with the brand, but I was somewhat surprised to see some of the things I'm used to on the menu were not there. I'm not sure if the menu changes seasonally or if they went through a revamp, but I had to reacquaint myself a bit. Love their healthy options and their handcrafted unique beverages. No basic fountain drinks here! The restaurant was clean and there were some patrons inside, but the employees just seemed a little confused. Perhaps there were too many hands involved in making our order, but it seemed like it got mixed up with other (mobile) orders on the line and they had to ask repeatedly which ones belonged to us and what did we order. We got our food and it was correct, but the process just seemed inefficient. Food was great, establishment was clean, would visit again. Mayhaps just an opportunity day for service or new employees (which happens) but overall a good experience. Glad to know there's one in Michigan to visit when I'm passing through and craving CoreLife.

The food here is phenomenal. Fresh, healthy fast food. Pictured is the Korean BBQ Pork bowl. It's only 12 bucks for a large! The handcrafted juices are also very delicious. The staff is very nice. Highly recommend!!

Oh my goodness, by far my favorite fast food/take out place to eat at in Kalamazoo!!! ♥️they have so many healthy options and good vegetarian options as well, providing tofu as a protein option. The staff has always been super friendly to me and the service has always been very quick. There is also outdoor dining as well with some cute fairy lights.

Food was not as tasty as I was hoping for. They do have many healthy options. They were out of an ingredient for what I ordered and told me I could choose a substitute but everyone I picked was not allowed, so that was kind of dumb. I would eat here again now that I know how to order.

I really like this place. Little bit of a line but worth the wait. If you don't like vegetables this probably isn't the place for you. The selection is great and feels a bit like the future. I felt the price was reasonable for what is being offered. The roasted tofu was really good and made my salad. The only critical comment I have is that I would like the cucumber to be cut in a smaller dice. Other than that great spot.

First time and the employee was so helpful that no anxiety in placing unfamiliar food order! Tasted amazing! My boyfriend and I had been looking for a good salad bar restaurant!!!

Quick, healthy, friendly people- this is the best lunch in Portage hands down! Just wanted to update this to shout out to Trey, for making my food experiences here perfect every time! Also a special shout out to Tara for making this my 5-year-olds favorite place to eat! The staff here are exceptional!

First time trying this place and I loved it! Made my own healthy bowl. Staff was helpful and friendly. Will be visiting again for sure!

The ordering process will never not confuse me but that’s more of a user error! Lonny had great customer service. Stayed engaged and cracked jokes throughout the ordering process. Will certainly be back!

We were craving a great salad and I spotted this (though yelp had not!) I like the building your own options- I found it easier then subbing out stuff. The steak was perfect! Nice bite size pieces. I do think the music was a little weird- perhaps subliminal messages to join the cult. If there’s good food, count me in!

I’m addicted to CoreLife!! The people here were super nice, fast & attentive! Restaurant is clean

Best place ever! The manager there is super nice and very helpful! All the employees were very kind, patient and helped me decide what to eat! Their recommendations were top notch!

So delicious. Worth every penny. Definitely will be frequenting this place.

The food was pretty good. I got a spicy Thai chicken bowl. It wasn't spicy at all, but it has good flavor. Some of the seats in the booths are in bad shape and need replaced. The service was good.

First time coming to this location. I must say I am a happy customer. Efficient and delicious. Will definitely come back when I'm back in town.

Food is delicious and fresh, service was quick and the ambiance is calm. First time here and absolutely loving it

Do not eat at the one in Portage. I was served raw sweet potatoes that are normally cooked. I address the cashier with the problem and she address the cook and the cook wanted to take them off my plate and put them back in the cooker for me. I’m no cook but I’m sure that would break lots of health code violations. I was not offered any compensation for my meal or a simple sorry for messing up my 15.00 meal.��

This place has THE best tasting most HEALTHIEST food in town! The staff is always smiling and friendly. I love it here and i recommend it to everyone. 👍🏾❤️

We love eating at Core Life. It takes a few minutes to get oriented to the menu, but it's worth the the time and effort. I like being able to sample items and customize my order. I've tried seven or eight different menu items and liked them all. Every once in awhile, eating needs to be an adventure....go to Core Life!

So delicious! Have liked everything I've tried (tuna poke, today's flank steak warm rice bowl, brussel sprout medley, beet lemonade)! Everything looks so fresh, it can be hard to decide what to try, but they're all winners!

I was visiting my love all last week and I love Core Life I'm from SC and it blew my mind how great it was. I'm wanting to open one here now. I'm an Army veteran looking to blow up this market. I'm a health nut and fitness freak I'm addicted to helping change LifeStyles and this is it.. !!

We visited Core Life Eatery today for lunch around 1pm. This visit was my first time, I chose the chicken Cobb salad (small) which was the perfect amount and so fresh! The eatery was pretty busy, however, the staff was extremely efficient in preparing fresh and delicious food in a timely manner for everyone! There was adequate table space and even the customers were happy and pleasant to be around!

I walked in and it was very slow. Then it quickly got busy with a line to the door that kept replenishing. In the line there were multiple people with multiple orders. They handled the line gracefully with a smile on their face the whole time. Amazing food and amazing teamwork and communication amongst the employees. Great job.

Simply amazing! Today was my first time, and it exceeded my expectations. There aren’t many vegan options in this area and this is my new favorite place to eat. I loved the ginger tofu and ancient grains bowl!

It’s always such a bummer when you finally try a place you’ve been looking forward to you and it disappoints. So it was pretty awesome when my first meal at core life yesterday was incredible! Definitely my new favorite place to eat!

Very good food, nice ambiance. Nice to have a place to go where you actually are able to eat healthy food without sacrificing taste! I'll be back!

The new tuna bowl is awesome! Definitely recommend to you, especially as a post workout meal! Let's Plate Up��!

I just bought a steak, bacon blue salad big bowl double protein. It was my first time there tonight. The cashier noticed that I didn't get my double protein, so she corrected that. I never got my walnuts. I never got my receipt. I had to come back to get a utensil for my "to go" salad. I was told that whoever bagged up my salad didn't realize that a utensil was required. Food is good, but a little overpriced for what you get. I understand they just opened, but that seemed to be a lot of mistakes made on one simple order.

The menu and food is delicious and healthy! As well as the drink options. The customer service was ok but other than that is was great! I will definitely be back.

The food is good. The prices are really high. The music is loud . The staff will make fun of and ridicule the customers to eachother. My last 2 times here, I have left feeling like I did something wrong.
