    Lovely cafe. Lots of open table and very clean. You order your food with the cashier first. Cashier gives you a number. Pick any table you wished to sit at. Stick your number on the card holder at your table. Waiters will bring your food to you. After you're done, you can just leave all plates there and someone will pick it up.

    So my wife and I ordered Hot Paninis. Well let me first start off by saying this does not look like a Panini and more like a grilled cheese sandwich. It had great flavor and was delicious, however, I must say every time I’ve ordered a basic sandwich from them. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to make two sandwiches. the last two times my wife and I have ordered the restaurant has been nearly empty and no one in front of us, or behind us in line, and the people in the restaurant have already been served, yet it still takes 15 to 20 minutes to turn out two sandwiches. I must add this evening and the time before when my wife ordered we found it a norm for the staff to hold conversations to the point it’s so loud it drowns out in the background music that’s playing in the restaurant. This time at least it wasn’t obscene topics like last time but it’s def not a professional vibe as you wait 20 minutes for what looks like a grill cheese sandwich. I really hope the owner does a better job at popping in and checking to see if this aligns to what they strive for their restaurant. We’ll give them one more shot because they are one of my places where I can get a good dish of Carbonero. We’ll see tho …

    I had the pancakes with eggs & bacon. The eggs weren't my favorite and were a bit cold. My wife had a scramble & my daughter a wrap. Over above average food & service

    It is ok. Food is not fresh. We ordered and it was ready in 10 minutes. Eggs seemed already made and they were cold. I got “fresh fruit” and definitely was no fresh. If you are going for a coffee, and bakery it is fine. If you want fresh breakfast, this is not the place.

    First impressions are everything. Having said that, this place totally failed! The good reviews led me here and it was a total disappointment. Food was was cold, eggs flavorless and the pancakes were ok. It took someone over 5 minutes to acknowledge us and even longer to take our order. To make matters worse, they were out of coffee. Not one or two but all four. We realized they were short staffed but that’s a management problem not a customer problem. Never again.

    Definitely the place to go if you want burnt eggs and flat burnt pancakes. Which used to be both hot and fluffy (to die for) was-my favorite item, as of lately they are barely edible at times. And for the prices your paying you would think it would be better quality food. Seems over the last few months the place has gone down hill with service, cleanliness, and now even the food quality. I used to be a regular but at this point I will be finding a new place to dine in.

    My fiancee and I visited for the first time and we had a pleasant experience. Nice place to enjoy breakfast and relax. She ordered an Anaheim panini and some hot tea. I ordered an all American scrambler as well as an Anaheim scrambler. The food was tasty and fulfilling.

    I went there this morning around 7:10 am before I went to work see if I can put in a catering order to give you guy another shot but when i got there at 7:10 the doors were lock there was no sign saying the restaurant was closed plus I saw your poor employee standing outside. I had ask one of your employee why weren't you guys open she said our opener is not here. I ask her for her GM she said Megan. I dont understand why you leave your employees out in the cold while your opener isn't there. I will be letting your corporate know including Jackie Sullivan I will be emailing her myself. You don't leave your customers or your employees out in the cold. Knowing you open at 7am. This has happen quit a few times.

    Ate here last week and they were out of mozzarella. One order in our party took over 30 mins to come out while the rest of us waited. And when it finally did arrive, they didn't put bacon on the club sandwich. Today they were out of broccoli soup and baguettes. Get that? This bakery was out of bread. It's a bakery for crying out loud. Always being out of key menu items makes me wonder if the end is near for this restaurant. Shame. Used to be a good place.

    Went in with a group of 6 and we were all seen promptly and the employee who helped us made sure all of our orders were taken. My Chai latte was a little too concentrated but it was still good.

    Great food and breakfast choices. Had to repeat myself a bit too many times for my order, and they still forgot stuff, but overall decent breakfast spot

    General manager, Megan is a piece of work!! Corner, bakery made a mistake with my order. She did not offer a reasonable solution. I ordered a Breakfast through "DoorDash" and it was missing the avocado. Most restaurants would offer to remake your dish for you, since you paid your hard earned money. But not Megan! she wanted to give some extra avocado! No replacement, nothing to compensate for their mistake or the inconvenience. Mind you, I usually go there about once a week, and I always order the same thing. #1 I was not going to get in my car and drive over to corner bakery to pick up a few extra slices of avocado. That is the reason I ordered DoorDash in the first place. #2 One of the other employees had already promised I could have a choice of something else whenever I came in or ordered the next time. The other Employee posted a note with my name on it in this regard. So I called two days later, and Megan (general manager) answered the phone. She did not want to honor the note at all. After some words back-and-forth with her and her rude behavior. I have decided I will not eat nor order from there again. Megan just lost a very loyal customer to corner bakery! Poor management skills!

    Great place to eat. If you are looking for quick pick up don't go there. I was in the line for 20 minutes and I wasn't able to get the breakfast menu. They need to only have that person working only on the cash register not dealing with everything else unless there is no line. Maybe next time I'll get the breakfast.

    We arrived at the bakery at 8:35 because my wife was craving a cinnamon roll. We’ve never been here before so we weren’t exactly sure what to expect but I decided to give the place a try. As soon as we walk in we noticed all the chairs were up and there wasn’t a person in sight. There was some noise coming from the back and after a few minutes a blonde comes out and says “just so you guys know we’re closing soon so most of the kitchen is closed” to which I responded that’s okay. She said “what are you guys trying to get” and I said just a cinnamon roll and she said “okay that’s fine” her entire tone was flat and bothered as if she hated that we were there. I wasn’t aware that closing at 9 meant closing a half hour early. She threw our roll in a container and put it on the counter as she walked away. I understand that we went later and they were probably slow for a while before we got there but it was so disappointing to see my wife’s light leave her face when she felt like she was a bother for wanting what she had been craving. We’re going to take this cinnamon roll home and warm it up and hope that it’s good.

    It's more of a 3.5-4 start rating. The place was good, I loved the atmosphere, and the staff was nice. The food was good, the eggs were a bit cold but ask them to heat it and they will, no problem. Their real saving grace was their buttermilk pancake, so good. Overall, my family and I enjoyed our experience

  • 1/5 Brandon B. 1 year ago on Google
    I don’t post negative reviews very often but this is by far the worst experience I have had at a restaurant in years. Both outside and inside dining areas were dirty and unkept. The food took 40 plus minutes to arrive and was cold. We did not finish our meals here and went to the Habit Burger because we were still hungry.

    I did grubhub order for lunch and paid about $30. I got the chopped salad that wasn't too fresh. The lettuce was wilted. Also it was small for paying over $11for it. I also got the chicken carbonara. It was good, nothing special. I will order again from here. I did enjoy the Arnold palmer even though no straw was sent.

    We came in to eat as a family, spent $50+, and my mom’s tuna sandwich was so fishy she almost vomited. I brought the sandwich back to the front and the lady at the front was horribly rude, cut me off mid sentence, and left to the back. The general manager came out and she explained that it is our fault “our gamble” and not their problem that we didn’t like the sandwich. She refused to swab it out for a cheaper item or return our money. The food wasn’t worth the horrible service.

    Always have a good experience here. Love their food. Everything on the menu is good. The people who work there are helpful and friendly too. We got sandwiches with salads as our side. Great portions, great tasting food. Will be returning, of course. The picture is of my dog at the cafe, we were sitting outside. :)

    I love this cafe. The uptown turkey avocado sandwich is so delicious, including the cheddar broccoli soup. The mac and cheese is tasty too. I don’t care to eat bread often but I love the freshly baked harvest toast so much I buy a loaf to take home. The staff are super friendly and not a long wait for your food.

    Simplicity at its best. Met owners, discussed menu, gave opinions, great conversation!! Great lunch!

  • 3/5 Teri Ann S. 1 year ago on Google
    The Loaded baked potato soup was way too thick and tasted like flour. Had a couple of bites, but couldn't finish it. The blt panini was ok. Seems like it's gone down in quality a bit.

  • 3/5 G P. 9 months ago on Google
    I would have given 5 stars had we not had so many problems ordering and getting the right food. The food was actually good. Service not so much so. I felt like it was way over priced. We spent roughly $50 for 2 pick 2 meals. The restaurant and especially the restroom needed a good cleaning.

  • 3/5 Dennis K. 8 months ago on Google
    Food is tasty. Great salads and soups. But disappointed in the fact that they advertise right at the door when you enter,that meatballs are back . So happy about that but been 3 times and out of meatballs! Very bad when a place doesn't have what they are promoting.

    This was my first time eating here. Their food is delicious. The caramel macchiato was a little too sweet for my taste but nether the less really good.

    My wife and I have been ordering the chopped chicken salad for years. It has been one of our favorites. On a recent order my wife picked up our salads and brought them home. When we opened them my wife realized the salads were missing two key ingredients: blue cheese and sliced avocado. She called and the person apologized and said they had neither avocados nor blue cheese. Something they should have told her when she placed the order. She wouldn’t have wasted her time and money since without those ingredients the salad is a rather bland everyday salad. She asked to speak to the manager and was informed the manager will be available the next day and would call my wife. To her credit the manager did call the next day and her resolution was to offer twice the blue cheese and avocado the next time. Twice the blue cheese?? A little goes a long way. My wife argued with her to give us credit but the manager stood firm. Well I guess we will be looking for a good salad elsewhere. It appears this manager has forgotten about customer service and what that means.
