    Delicious Italian pasta and panini s. Kids menu is interesting. Kids will love it.. Fresh salads for diet guys is made so thorough. It's located in a good place surrounded with other good things. There is drive thru. Neat and clean interior.

    Nice baked goods, average coffee. The best thing about this place is the ambiance. There’s a nice layout, look and feel to the sitting space. Lots of delicious baked goods. Downside: The coffee I had here was bitter and cold. I did not try any of the sandwiches or meals but saw many come out and they looked wonderful and matched the quality advertised.

    Today was my first time ordering here. It was good, not great, but passable. The tomato basil soup was spot on. The Cali Grill sandwich was just ok. One side of it was nice and full and the other side was kind of lacking filling like it was thrown together very quickly but it WAS delicious. It's hard to find good vegetarian options anywhere and this was very good as far as vegetarian selections go. The iced tea was a little bitter. I asked for extra ice in my tea and got "no ice" (I'm guessing it all melted and that the brew was hot when it was poured into the cup) so I had "tepid tea" instead of iced tea. I'll be back for sure. There are a lot of things on the menu that I saw that I want to try.

    I really enjoyed the food as well as the table service by Marcia. She was very thoughtful and friendly with my wife and grandchildren. This was our first time trying the Corner Bakery, and will be back. The menu has enough variety, though not so much as to be overwhelming. The food itself tasted very good, was seasoned well and was fresh. My only concern was the time between making my order and receiving my food. There were only 4 tables seated bedsides ourselves and a couple already had their food. It still took nearly 15 minutes to receive our order. That seems overly long for a business that also has a drive thru. I will update good or bad after I visit again.

    Large Menu with Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner options from classic breakfast options like bacon and eggs, pancakes, paninis, pastas, and freshly baked bakery items such as cakes, cookies, and breads. Everything we had was fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back to try some more of he yummy options again!!!😬

    Ordered 3 dishes ... our order was wrong 3 times and took over 20 minutes to get an everything bagel which they forgot. When we went to the counter to check on it they pulled a cold bagel out of the toaster and said oh yeah here ya go. No replacement offer. Also of note 2 servers both came to our table in the mean time and said they would check on it. When approaching the counter. Neither server had even asked. For the reviews posted perhaps maybe we just caught them on a very bad and off day. To be fair... I will grant them that this was our one and only experience there. Decor was very nice though. Most likely Will not be back.

    Wow! What a cafe! It's clean, their menu is easy to understand, and the staff members are really friendly! The breakfast sandwich I ordered was made quickly and was every bit as good as it looked. Also, I discovered that a blueberry muffin and a latte complement each other well! I will be back!

    Finally tried this place after driving by so many times and am glad I did! Similar concept to Panera but I thought the food was better, bigger portions, and more reasonable price. The atmosphere inside was really welcoming and clean- they also have a drive through which is nice. I had the caesar salad with grilled chicken and the entree size was huge! Next time we'll bring the kids as they had a good looking kids menu as well.

    Great tasting paninis, soup, and pasta. Quick service even though we stopped in for lunch on a busy Saturday. Well priced and good sized portions compared to another Deli down the road. Very clean inside. Will be back again.

    Definitely competition to Panera. Fresh delicious food with service. Employees are very nice and welcoming. I gave Corner Bakery four stars because 1) all the unoccupied tables were dirty and I had to wipe the crumbs off myself. 2) My daughter's Mac and Three Cheese sauce was watery.

    Went to breakfast with my daughter and grandson. Food was amazing! Will definitely be back again!

  • 5/5 Corby D. 3 years ago on Google
    Love the food here and this location has phenomenal customer service. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 David C. 3 years ago on Google
    UPDATE: The owner reached out to me to explain what I was seeing. For food prep, it's OK to have masks partially down. Have been back three times since and, as always, the food was great! Very mixed rating here. Late lunch (2pmish) on Saturday, 8/14. The food, as always, was delicious BUT - and it's a huge but - the entire food prep staff was working with their masks under their chins so, for all intent and purpose, they were maskless. Not good!

  • 5/5 Michael H. 3 years ago on Google
    I just had a lemoncello cake. Moist and delicious. My mother and sister had the power bowl. Generous portion! Also had a patio.

  • 1/5 Kevin C. 3 years ago on Google
    Just went through drive-thorough and was given a lukewarm coffee and two sugar packets with no stirrer. I had to dump most of it; could not drink it. This was my first time visiting and am underwhelmed. Hopefully it was just a fluke.

  • 5/5 Bella S. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious. I had their shrimp scampi linguini and it was amazing. They didn't overcook the shrimp like so many places do. It was perfect for lunch.

  • 5/5 Monica C. 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered food from here thru uber eats. The food was amazing. Everything was exactly as I requested and I got more bread than I asked for. Will definitly have to order from here again.

    The times they’re open they’re great. The employees are nicer than other quick serve restaurants and there is quality in the food. But the problem is they sell their gift cards in Costco which you can never use because Corner Bakery is literally closed all the time. The business model isn’t to run a restaurant but rather, keep float on gift cards they continue to sell across the parking lot knowing full well they won’t be open for people to use them.

  • 5/5 Lily 3 years ago on Google
    The sweetest people ever! Such a great environment to study or have lunch with a friend. Food, service, and overall experience was great and I will definitely be going back! Also their broccoli cheddar soup is better than Panera, and a much better price!

  • 5/5 Rick 3 years ago on Google
    Fresh food always! Delicious

  • 5/5 Angie M. 2 years ago on Google • 6 reviews
    had lunch delivered today; Chicken Pomodori (panini) and Loaded Baked Potato soup. Separately the sandwich and soup are absolutely excellent. However, combine the two and suddenly their already wonderful flavors enhance each other. New fav for sure!!! 10 out of 10!

  • 3/5 Honest R. 2 years ago on Google
    portions were way too small and a cold brew and breakfast bowl came out to over $14 so basically restaurant prices for drive thru

  • 3/5 Roeshana B. 2 years ago on Google
    I had the Avocado bacon bowl. It didn't look very appetizing, but it was actually pretty tasty. The menu says this is a vegan item. However, it does have eggs and bacon, sooooo.. that was odd. I also had some baked potato soup. It was not very tasty. It seemed like it had a strong sour/sour cream flavor. Some may like it, but I couldn't finish it. I liked that they have a drive through, dislike that there were no masks. I know they're no longer required, but TRULY appreciate places that provide food services that still require them.

    Stopped here with daughter and grandson for breakfast. Mixture of classic and healthy items. Tasted great!

  • 5/5 Frizzy K. 3 years ago on Google
    Love the food and their hibiscus drink. They have a bacon mac n cheese I highly reccomend. The customer service is so great too

  • 2/5 Sandy F. 3 years ago on Google
    We usually get their cookies for a sweet treat and they have always been good and fresh. We got the Monster cookie today and got one last week. When we got it last week, it was dry and hard but thought it was just a bad batch since we have always had fresh, chewy cookies. I went back today and unfortunately the cookies are the same as last time, dry and hard. Not sure if it’s lack of management or quality control but whatever it is, this was our last visit to this location.

    Quiche was great. I would like to see other sweetener options though. The. Staff was beautiful

  • 5/5 Buz S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great! Loved the iced coffee, & delicious chocolate chip cookie. Plus drive thru service was very cordial

  • 3/5 Jason 3 years ago on Google
    The food itself was fine, however, in the middle on an increasing pandemic, most of the staff (including the person bagging our food) had their masks below their chin. My family has been extremely cautious, so to see this was disheartening. There was no manager around telling them that their masks work a lot better when they are being used right. This was enough for me to avoid this place in the future. Sad to, because the food tastes fine, just hope I don't get the Rona because of it

  • 5/5 Staci E. 3 years ago on Google
    This is a favorite stop while visiting the area. Food is substantial and delicious, ALWAYS fresh. Personal favorite is the chicken pesto sandwich and cheddar broccoli soup. Staff is always friendly, and the desserts are sinfully fantastic. You guys are worth the almost the three hour drive all on your own!

  • 4/5 Jeff J. 3 years ago on Google
    The wrap was tasty and just the right amount. A little spicy for me but only because i typically do not like a lot of spice. Took a bit longer to get the hot chocolate. Overall service was polite and clean

  • 4/5 Vince S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jessica R. 3 years ago on Google
    First time! So good! Mother and I went on an early Saturday morning, we were the only two in the restaurant. Menu has a great selection, something for anyone. They had a wonderful selection of fresh baked goods, some seasonal options as well. The employees were kind, and welcoming. The coffee was so hot and PERFECT! Food was served hot and well displayed. Pricing was middle of the road, we had a coupon (through online email subscription). Very hearty portions. Only comment for improvement I have is that they need to watch their chemical ratio for floor cleaner, its off causing the floor to be sticky. Its clean just too much chemical (I work in a facility management group, have experience). Can't wait to come back!! Thank you!
