    This place is so delicious they got all kinds of breakfast plates, coffee is the best especially with sweetbread. Oh man and the pancakes with strawberry's I love it, but they got all kinds of flavors. And the bacon and sausage and egg mmmmmm.. I was going crazy in their because they got all the stuff I love to eat for breakfast. And it's a good place for short meetings or to take a friend or family to eat the best at the Corner Baker Cafe!!!!!!

    Rude service, they over priced me without looking at the prices displayed on their actual menus. I payed for a half avocado on my order for a crazy price of $3.69 only to not have any avocado on my meal when I got home. Another customer complained of price difference on their ads and how it gets more expensive when you try to pay, the manager took notes and then laughed at him for pointing it out once he left. Go here if you don’t care about money or transparent pricing or good tasting food or good customer service without backhanded comments when you leave.

    Can we say BACON?? They were not stingy with the bacon for sure. Very hearty colorful sandwich which is appealing to the eye so I was ready to dive in! The iced coffee ingredients/condiments was perfectly made; nice balance. The bread was soggy though and sandwich itself was a bit dry (dry as in minimal balsamic mayo) which made it a bit hard to eat. Overall, it was good! I would definitely give them another go!

    Outstanding! It looked similar to Panara back home, but it has a much better breakfast menu! The All American was fresh, hot, and cooked perfect! Also, great vanilla sweet cream cold brew!

    Great place for a quick lunch, great salad, soup or pasta options.

    Food is ok. Price Decent for area. Won’t go out of my way to go there.

  • 3/5 George A. 7 months ago on Google
    They went from amazing to just plain basic breakfast overnight it seemed. Used to eat at any corner bakery anytime, and now I don’t even consider it an option. Decided to go back, and definitely regret it. Sadly, never again. 3 stars because it was edible, but used to be a 5 star joint for me before they expanded all over town.

    The food here is what you would call serviceable--there's not much going on with the flavor, but you won't be disappointed and you won't leave hungry. I haven't tried them, but I suspect the breakfast wraps and sandwiches are better than the other breakfast plates.

    Food was a little cold but overall ok. Coffee was fine not great. Average.

  • 4/5 nine2-5traveler 11 months ago on Google
    The food has consistently been very good, enjoyable and plentiful. The food is made carefully and is illustrative in the delivery and presence of the dish. Everything we've ordered has great flavor, spices and pleasant tastes. Service is great too. The staff work in a busy downtown so they have to be good, fast and agile - which they all are. Friendly and helpful. No complaints. It's a busy cafe made for small groups but in sure if your needed to fit a group of 6 or so in, you could. The atmosphere and divina dining area still are very comfortable and relaxing. Overall, a good recommendation when visiting downtown Houston.

    Great service and kind workers! Food was good too. Bacon was excellent!!! Only reason it's a 4 stars is because there is no bathrooms. I like to wash my hands before eating and for some who has to go to the bathroom and can't, I took off a star.

    Cakes are flavorful and tasty. I also like the service. Recommend!

    First of all, my eyes watered with the meal options . Similar to Panera but in another league when it comes to taste and freshness. Employees were friendly . I order the chopped salad and Pesto Pasta. Coffee was nice and fresh with varieties.

  • 4/5 Erin M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly staff, clean space, and good food. I could tell they may have been struggling with some staffing issues but they did their best and I still got food/service quickly and efficiently. Would have loved access to a bathroom and maybe some additional menu items and I was not overly impressed by my breakfast sandwich, but I also had no complaints.

    My daughter had a previous experience at the Main St. location and was in love! She loved her coffee drink, her panini and couldn't wait to share the experience with me. Our schedules finally coincided and we were able to go. However, at 10:45 AM we were the only people ordering for indoor dining. By 11:20 we had not received even our coffee order. Once I went to ask, ALL of the other indoor dining customers began to be served. It's almost like they were dealing with online and take aways while ignoring indoor dining patrons. Re the food, I ordered a panini and my daughter ordered a sandwich because they wouldn't accommodate her special request. We ended up switching sandwiches. Not running back, but I did like the chicken club I ended up with.

    Went to get breakfast from some place different than my usual and it was good I quite enjoyed my meal.

  • 5/5 JJB 6. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place for a quick afternoon lunch. It was pretty busy but service was quick and friendly. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Grilled cheese sandwich and lemonade were very good. Very reasonable prices for downtown. I also went back the next morning to try breakfast. I got the All American Scramble. A lot of good food for a great price.

  • 5/5 Alhely O. 2 years ago on Google
    The linguini shrimp scampi and orzo soup are my go to's!! Theyre amazing! Super delicious! I highly recommend these dishes! :) Awesome!!

  • 4/5 Brinda S. 2 years ago on Google
    It is a good place to go for breakfast I love the bread they use. Here you will find American breakfasts that are delicious. They have good coffee, one of the best in the area. In addition to the breakfasts, meals are offered here, I have not tried them so I cannot comment.

  • 5/5 Dollie M. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely love this place. The salads are always fresh and tasty- My favorite is the Harvest salad with avocado ranch. Their meals have great portions and a kids meal will hold anyone over until dinnertime. Great place to hangout and catch up with a colleague for breakfast or lunch.

  • 5/5 Jayd R. 2 years ago on Google
    I was impressed with the price(so cheap! I had to ask if they charged me for all 3items). The food portion was satisfactory and tasty! Im picky when it comes to coffee as I usually drink it black…with caution, I added a drop of cream. In retrospect, I shouldn’t have as the coffee was great quality and just enough robust to it! 4.5 truly inly because no one wore face masks!
