This place is so good! I'm not usually in this area and looked up if there was a juice place in the area. The staff were really nice and helpful. I got a smoothie and it was so good I wish I lived closer, it was perfect on an unseasonably hot day and so refreshing. I will be back!

After moving to Dallas, I missed Core Juice Bar so much especially their PB&J protein shake. I can’t find anything like it, so happy that I’m in Chicago this weekend and was able to get it! I always love seeing their friendly faces before a workout.

I have a thing for Açaí bowls so whenever I travel, I try to scout out a business that sells them so I can try it out and get my açaí fix! This cute little bar is situated on the corner of a small plaza but directly across the street from a Lifetime Fitness. Parking is limited but I was able to lick out and find parking behind the establishment In a very small lot. The menu options are very straight to the point but consists of a selection of açaí bowls, juices and smoothies. I opted for the Good Life Bowl and it was delicious. It reminds me of the type of bowl I make at home so that warmed my heart and tastebuds. You can tell that really take their time with preparing every order and treating and attending to each customer. Also they have what looks like a possible fitness bar attached with snacks, powders, etc but it wasn’t open while I was visiting. But the indoor seating area is really nice and enjoyable area to enjoy your bowl or juices.

Clean and friendly staff. Definitely worth the drive, but would be great if you expanded around Narragansett and archer.

I came in for a smoothie after getting some dental work done. The staff member who helped me is very kind and knowledgeable. They offered a few suggestions after I explained the kind of taste I wanted. I found the prices to be fair and the smoothie was delicious. I would definitely return to try more items from the menu. I am delighted to have this place in the area.

I always grab core when I am back in chicago! It is a great on the go healthy option. I am an acai bowl and peanut butter protein smoothie girl and the consistency and taste is always soooo good and they are really great about customizing to your personal preference! Can't go wrong at any locations!

So yummy! The place is so cute, I got the açaí bowl and my bf got the chocolate protein açaí one for $6.99 each, which are the greatest thing ever. I'm glad that this is in my neighborhood, although it took me forever to go and try it. They also have smoothies, protein shakes, and juices that I personally have not tried but I'll be going more often now to try everything lol.

Worst customer service I've ever experienced. The baristas was very rude and not helpful at all. Simply unacceptable!!

As soon as you walk into any one of the Core locations, you're automatically greeted with friendly staff and warm smiles. The Good Life smoothie bowl is my go to as it's bursting with flavors of different berries and topped with granola and fresh fruit, giving it the perfect diversity of textures to elevate every bite. The portions are enough to fill you up when you're in need of a healthy alternative to a quick meal. In addition to being a satisfactory juice bar, the locale also doubles as a supplement store. Being allergic to whey, I often struggle to find products that won't disrupt my hypersensitivity. The employees are always very understanding and helpful when it comes to finding vegan alternatives. With its great menu and impeccable customer service, I highly recommend any one of the locations to all!

I didn't know that this place existed but apparently they've been open for about a year now. Tried it for the first time today and I loved it. The lady is very nice & helpful. The store right next to it that has supplements is also a plus. Def coming back

I had an acai bowl and it was decent. The açaí had a stronger taste than what I'm used to. I also came back and asked to have some dark chocolate chips added. They added it without a problem.

Came here right after the gym to see what they had. As you walk in there's a small assortment of proteins and other healthy stuff you normally would find at a vitamin shop. I walked up to the counter and ordered a core green juice and a kale yeah which was a blend of fruits with granola, hunny and bananas on top. The staff was friendly but there was only one guy taking orders and trying to help make drinks. My green juice and kale yeah we're amazing! Hit the spot! They have some seating inside if you choose to eat it there.

This is my favorite go to place when I forget to take lunch to work. It's a delicious guilty free lunch. I always pair my açaí bowl with a green detox!

If you come here, definitely try the Chocolate Protein Bowl. It's super filling and sure to leave you feeling healthy and satisfied. Nataly and Nallely were amazing! Both had great attitude despite how busy and crowded it got. I will for sure be coming back.

The best thing to have happened to Kedzie street. Açaí bowls are great as well as their smoothies and juices! Their ingredients are good quality. They also have the option of placing an order for pick up! Location at archer is also a hit!

Thank you! We got there like 5 mins before they were closing. But we were attended with a humble smile and great service! The Bowls were so tasty!! We will be returning just not so late!

I'm so happy there is a healthy snack/juice bar in the neighborhood. The carrot smoothie and berries/banana smoothie are amazing. The açaí and berries bowl is delicious and patty and Nayeli are really friendly and helpful. I come here 2 or 3 times a week.

Great delicious post workout shakes! Great service! You can even call ahead & have the shake ready to pick up after your workout. Adrian Torres is great! When one of the shakes wasn't to our liking, he rectified it by making us a new one. I would highly recommend it!

Cool place, good service, great juice, wide selections and excellent ambiance. I will return if I'm in the area again.
