    I ordered their general tso rice bowl for delivery. I went to take a bite and found a big piece of hard metal. I called the store to let them know and the manager said I could either get a refund or get sent a new one… I asked him if he would like a picture of the metal to see what it was and figure out a solution? He said that won’t be necessary. I pressed further because I was genuinely worried at his lack of concern?? To which he replied: if you want to send a photo go ahead. Anyways - it doesn’t appear the person I talked to cared where the problem originated and for that reason I don’t intend of supporting Cornerstone anymore. Who knows what else they have a general lack of care for!

    Pad Thai, Reuben with no kraut, and mac salad ordered. Delivered by restaurant. Dude placed my food on the porch that was crawling with ants! My delivery instructions ALWAYS state “must hand off in person”. I see it on my end but he stated it didn’t say that. Common sense would lead one to not leave someones food where there are a ton of ants crawling around! Pad Thai was decent. I didn’t like the reuben. I chose deli rye bread and that bread did not taste like rye bread. IF I tried food from here again I’d definitely pass on delivery and not order thar reuben again. Disappointed.

    Small little café with a wide ranging menu. I always get the pad Thai when I come, and it's some of the best the city has to offer! Tried a bagel today and those were pretty good too. Used to live nearby and I am sad that this place isn't as close to me as it used to be - it's such a cozy, inviting place that has consistently excellent food.

    I got the spicy salmon rice bowl & it was SO fresh! The team was very personable & nice despite the place starting to get a little busy. Lively space. Perfect quick stop for lunch!

    Pretty good! Loved the Pad Thai! So many options on their menu. They even have bubble tea. There is a dedicated parking lot on the corner across Longview Ave. There's also street parking.

    I love Poke bowl so much and Cornerstone has a very good Spicy bowl. Sometimes you don't need anything fancy or too much, just very simple! This bowl I ask for extra spicy mayo on top and on the side that's why it looks like curry :D It always comes with sushi rice (it was good), seaweed, cucumber and tuna with spicy sauce on top like zig-zag. The original looks good but I love the sauce too much. I tried so many poke bowls around Columbus. There's so many places that I like and this is definitely one of them and I'll always be their fan :)

    This place is awesome. Their menu is great and gives you a lot of selections. Always good food and always good service, at a fair price. It's my go-to

    Southwest egg sandwich on bagel and teriyaki chicken, both wonderful. Tasty bagel. We ate outside on the picnic tables. Clean place. About $20.

    I can’t say enough good things about this place! They have excellent prices and can make most of the dishes vegan, and I have loved everything I have tried. My favorite has been the general tso tofu!

    First time here but will give them a second chance. Was going to get a bagel and cream cheese but saw they had an Asian inspired plant based meals and ordered the vegi tempura. Very disappointed. The tempura tasted like the oil was old and hadn't been changed and the soy ginger dipping sauce was too thin and had no taste at all. Rice was clumpy. I will return to try a bagel or salad but not buy one of the meals. On the plus side servers were friendly

    I’ve been going here to eat every now and then for years and I’ve never been disappointed. The food is fresh, made fast, and fairly priced. On every single occasion I’ve picked up food from Cornerstone I saw employees working. They truly strive to get the work done and do things the right way and I have never had a single issue with any order I’ve gotten being wrong or not made the way I requested. Five stars, you guys deserve it!

    Yeah, the inside's a little quirky, the menu is all over the place, and the food can sometimes be inconsistent but somehow it all adds to the place's independent, nostalgic neighborhood-joint charm. Feels like one of the last remaining affordable independent cafes around here. This place serves so many purposes: good for lazy takeout days, bringing out-of-towners, quick stop in the morning for breakfast, cute date spot, dinner out...literally anything. And the food is always amazing and quick. Can you tell I'm a fan of Cornerstone?

    Salad dressing should not be a dollar extra... It's part of a salad! And, if you're going to charge for salad dressing, please have all options available on the online pickup order options. I was told the first time to call before if my preferred dressing wasn't a choice... And then I did, and they said, choose another dressing and then we'll give you the dressing you want (which seems like a waste?) just for the sake of charging me an extra dollar for salad dressing.

    We had a Reuben and the Mediterranean veggie sandwich. Both were good and decently priced. Service was quick and friendly and the dining area has a nice, casual, urban deli feel.

    The Rubin sandwich I ordered was terrible. The meat was dry,fatty, and chewy. There was almost no sauerkraut or sauce. This is probably a local place that people like to go to but my experience was below average.

    The menu looks great, the atmosphere is cozy and vibrant, and the people are very friendly. 4 stars only because I (mistakenly) got a bagel burger. Dry bread and mediocre burger with unsalted fries. Honestly my own fault though, look to get one of their Asian dishes when you come here and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

    This place has such a varied menu that it can either be easy or difficult to make a decision. I've had their spicy shrimp fried rice which was fantastic and this time I had the lox bagel which was just the right amount of everything. Since they are in Clintonville, it's also nice they have parking in a lot just across the street which makes it very convenient to stop in too. Can't wait to head back to try the hot sandwiches.

    Hate to be cliche, but this place is a hidden gem. Very cheap for the quality and quantity of food you get. I haven't ordered a sandwich that wasn't delicious yet, and their pad Thai is great.

  • 5/5 James H. 1 year ago on Google
    Really neat little neighborhood deli. Wide variety of food available as well as a deli as you'd expect. Good sitting areas in two rooms.

  • 3/5 JB S. 1 year ago on Google
    The deli is nice inside with many choices. My experience here with the food was disappointing. The stir fry chicken and rice bowl was so sweet, the carrots were under cooked and the chicken was over cooked.

  • 5/5 Reagan F. 7 months ago on Google
    favorite food spot in columbus, hands down. their tofu rice bowls are great for vegetarians, w an option to make the sauces vegan as well. 10/10 service too!!

  • 5/5 Erika S. 8 months ago on Google
    Avalanche on a plain wrap is so good, I eat one every week. I love this place! The food is good. The staff are friendly and they don't try to hurry you out. My friends and I meet here regularly!

  • 5/5 Jordan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful locally owned place with a little bit of everything and great Asian-inspired dishes. Great comfort food for a cold day!

  • 5/5 Ethan G. 1 year ago on Google
    I go here for lunch all the time, steak egg and cheese & a omelet. It's amazingly consistent and delicious, not once have I been disappointed. Everything is seems to be made too order, pretty much every hot or cold sandwich is great.

  • 5/5 Chantez H. 11 months ago on Google
    Don’t let this little deli fool you this is a hidden gem! Service is fast and friendly and the food… AMAZING! 🤤 I originally came in for the salad then noticed the wide selection of Asian food! I ordered the chicken pad Thai and it did not disappoint! It was spicy as heck 🥵 but now I just know to lessen the spice. My new favorite lunch spot! 😊

    Me and my boyfriend love going here so much we became regulars everyone’s always nice and food is always delicious!

  • 5/5 Michaela M. 1 year ago on Google
    Favorite restaurant in Columbus - their prices are super reasonable, the food never misses, and there's a ton of options on the menu. Their salad bar is in a league of its own, the ginger miso dressing and crumbled tofu are my personal favorite add-ins. Cornerstone has a wonderful community feeling and feels like home whenever I visit.

    This place is absolutely fantastic. The staff are kind and welcoming. And more importantly, the food is stellar. It was some of the best fast food I’ve had in awhile. Please support this lovely small business and their amazing food.
