Corner Bakery Cafe

Went for my grandmas birthday and I was very disappointed
First at the register the guy didn’t know about what ingredients were in any of the dishes. When we asked if something was good all he responded with was «idk. I would never eat it»
When we finally ordered our food it took 30 min for them to bring it to us only after I went to the counter to check on what was up.
They weren’t busy and all we ordered were 3 half sandwiches and a cup of soup.
Finally when the food came, the vegetarian sandwich was two pieces of bread and one piece of spinach. There was nothing in the middle of it…
We had to send it back because they forgot to put things in our sandwich that already took 30 min to make
We were Very disappointed, the only one who was kind was one waiter who should be promoted to manager or something. He was the only person in there working his ass off

If it wasn’t for their pastries they would get one star and that’s only because I don’t have the option of giving no stars. First of all the staff lags on clearing tables. Secondly the cashier was rude. Thirdly the so called Three cheese Mac & Cheese is lacking in cheese and flavor. Thank God for salt.

I ordered online and they told me my order would be ready for pick up in 30 min. I had to wait 10 extra min after arriving. They didn’t even start my order until I told them I was there for pick up. Then, the girl attempted to call my name but doesn’t and rudely tells me she can’t pronounce it and just hands me a bag of food. Of course, when I walked to my car I realize they messed up my order. Food was fine, but service was terrible.

The place was dirty and the server never came back when I asked him to clean. Also part of my order was never served and I had to go and ask. Terrible service, avoid!

The food was horrible. We ordered and tomato basil soup bread bowl, which tasted artificial, hardly any basil taste, if any; a caesar salad with chicken, which was only okay, but the chicken was super artificial-​tasting; and a chicken pesto sandwich, which, again, the chicken tasted super artificial and there was hardly any pesto. The bread was very chewy.
Not impressed at all.

I enjoyed this place because the service is good, and the food is tasty and affordable. I like that I can go out to a place that serves decent food at a reasonable price. I spent $ 22 on breakfast for 2−½ people. Plus the coffee is OK not bad. The atmosphere is very family friendly and it’s not loud inside.
Also, the yogurt parfait ($ 3.99) was a decent size bowl with lots of fruit and yogurt. Finally, a decent parfait that filled me up.

The food here is great, but the service is absolutely terrible. I’ve been coming here for years and the employees seem to be getting worse and worse. Many of them don’t have a clue of what they’re doing.

My favorite place for lunch!!! I would recommend it to everyone! The food is just amazing. Especially my favorite mac&cheese and caramel latte.

Greasy breakfast panini and stale pastry.
Had high hopes for this chain but was so disappointed.
No potatoes after breakfast hours. Not so friendly staff.
Very dirty place with old rundown furniture.
I’ve heard the locations on the west side are better but I am done with this chain. My first and last time here. *leaves with a heartburn

This place gets the job done but is not the most special meal in this part of town. They seem to be caught somewhere in fast food/​chain restaurant quality limbo.
I tried the Asian Pork Sandwich last time I was there, and although it tasted pretty good it was absolutely drenched in sauce. Cheese and broccoli soup was nearly room temperature. The menu is not huge but diverse — easy enough to find something appetizing. But, next time I’ll stick with the salads which seem to be their forte.
I’d say the best thing about this place is the location — very convenient to stop by when shopping at Ikea, Barnes & Noble, Macy’s etc.

I like the food here, I think the place is cute and I like that you order over the counter. The staff is very nice and the pastries are delicious!

Don’t usually come to corner bakery but it’s right by ikea and we were hungry.
Overall, it was a serious letdown. I ordered one of the new avocado and spinach flats and the majority of my egg was cold. I don’t expect fresh food when I come here but I would at least expect it to be heated the whole way through. Especially for the price on such a tiny sandwich…

What can you expect from Corner Bakery?
Fast and friendly service, fresh ingredients, satisfying portions and affordable prices.
Me and my boyfriend visit this location at least once a week when were in the mood for a fresh & filling salad and a homemade slice of Pumpkin Pound Cake.
I don’t think I’ve ever ordered anything I didn’t like from here. From Breakfast to dessert and everything in between, Corner Bakery has yet to let me down.
The pasta dishes are amazing! If I ordered takeout and told my boyfriend it was from an Italian restaurant, he wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference (And he’s Italian!)
The parking lot is HORRIBLE. I’d recommend parking over at the CHASE parking lot if Corner Bakery’s lot is too full.

The Corner Bakery seems like it should be a fast casual place. Once you enter, you walk up to the counter and order from the menu board overhead, then pay. You will be asked if you want your food to go.
I was a bit in a hurry, so I ordered ‘to go’. I sat and waited on a bench with 3 of their employees. I’m not sure why they were sitting there, but it was a bit awkward, and it took up space where other patrons would have been able to sit. I received my order after 5 – 10 minutes.
Their new grilled flat bread item with a side of baby carrots was fairly small but tasty. The bread was fresh and the Southwest ingredients were crisp and flavorful. The grilled chicken was juicy. For 280 calories, it is a good option for those watching their calorie intake. However, for $ 5.99, it is definitely overpriced.

Personal Thought
Nothing special about corner bakery, but nothing bad either! You probably can’t go wrong with eating here, unless your dietition has you on a strict carb restricted diet!

The Service: Kitchen is right behind the counter. There are many staffs working in the kitchen but only one cashier? Have to stand in line waiting for a while…
The Pastry: Sign up on their eCafe, FREE baked pastry for your birthday!
The Parking: Private lot (free)

I adore this corner bakery. I have been to several locations but this store has exceptional staff. Shout out to the manager Chris, Allen, and Fernando for being so personable and friendly every time!
Fernando today suggested the whoppees with peanut butter and they are BOMB!
If you want a reliable place to enjoy a meal with a friend, I highly suggest this location.

I have a love-​not so love relationship with Corner Bakery Café. I really WANT to love it, but I sort of just like it. The interior is kind of cute, lots of parking, right next to Ikea. Outdoor seating as well, for when I want to take my dog (which is often!) :D.
The issue is really their food. I’ve been here twice, and twice I’ve been underwhelmed. The service is fine and everything, but their actual soups and sandwiches are just ok. I think the quality isn’t subpar, it’s just not expertly crafted. I know this is just a chain place, and the prices are ok, but I feel like if they could just tweak their food and put a little more love into it, it would really show. I never «crave» Corner Bakery, I just sort of end up there. Hehe.
That being said, I liked the sweet things I’ve tried from there. This last time I had a coupon (signed up on their website) for a free cookie. I tried the cookie with tons of M&M’s in it, and OH MY LANTA, it was soooooooo good. I literally wanted to go buy a few to take home. Very reasonably priced as well, I believe under $ 2 for a ginormous cookie. Maybe if I’m in the mood for a cookie and a coffee, I’ll stop by there again. I will most likely go there sometime in the future, just probably not anytime soon. It’s just not memorable (except for the yummy yummy cookie!) for me. I wouldn’t recommend this place for big groups, the seating isn’t really meant for that.

I came here on a Wednesday night around 8pm and it was pretty full considering it was mid week. I was having issues picking what I wanted to eat, as usual, ugh. The guy helping me was SO sweet and he helped me pick what to get. I was debating on a pasta but he suggest the chicken pesto and said I should add some fresh mozzarella to make it bomb. He was speaking my language! It was seriously scrumptious. I mean what exactly makes a sandwich «scrumptious»? Focaccia, chicken, pesto, cheese, tomatoes and arugula. He also suggested I get it pressed. So now we got all those yummy things, Warm! It’s as good as it sounds. When you bite it you get a crunch, then it’s all soft warm and lovely inside.
I then got a slice of the crumb cake which I picked at while I waited for my food. Holy shamolie it’s like an amazing white cake dipped in butter before being baked in cinammon and covered in crumble. That was on another level! The level where it’s so good a part of you wants to just put the entire cake in your mouth while the other wants to keep some for tomorrow. Just get it.

Can’t go wrong with pasta and pastries in one spot! If it tickles your fancy, there’s salads too.
Friendly staff.
Parking can be a pain during lunch hours.
