Avocado & Spinach Breakfast Wrap (V) and vanilla sweet cream cold brew, and Chicken Pesto sandwich
Lydia B.

I mean its ok. The chicken pesto sandwich was dry and didnt have great bread, didnt see much pesto. My wrap didnt have enough salsa for the whole thing, and was lacking in flavor. Coffee was good though! Overall, meh!

It was my first time at this Corner Bakery Cafe, even though I always pass by it while driving down Main St in Irvine. The interior design was actually quite spectacular and impressive, especially from what I was expecting from a coffee shop that I'd never been to or gotten any word of mouth about. There were a solid selection of baked goods, including some holiday-themed ones! There's also an extensive menu of hot and cold beverages, salads, pastas, and more. The really impressive part was when I ordered my truffle hot chocolate, they first asked me if I'd like whole milk, oat milk, or some other milk, and I opted for oat milk... I'm so glad they asked! And then, they asked if I'd like the hot chocolate with or without caffeine, and I actually wanted without... again, I was so impressed and glad they asked about this too!! I've been to many coffee shops in my life and not many of them go as far as to ask this level of detail for every customer, and it seems perhaps this location does... awesome job!! The truffle hot chocolate was perfectly hot but not too hot, more like very warm, and it was nice getting to sit at one of the tables inside and take some time to enjoy the moment. A great place for coffee and cafe lovers!!

Excellent, really cheap breakfast sandwiches!! Food is really good. Music is ok. They open at 7

Avocado Avocado & Spinach Breakfast Wrap (V)
Dylan ..

I got the avocado wrap and I was slightly disappointed by the portion size. In addition to the lack luster portion size, there contents in the wrap were mediocre and barely contained any avocado. I also received the Chai Latte which was overly sweet and not filled entirely. The service was good, and the ambiance was nice, suitable for professional work and meetings. Many tables were perceived as taken because a beverage was left at the table but no one was actually sitting there. But that cookie... the toffee cookie was amazing

Bacon Avocado Egg Bowl
Jeremiah L.

I ordered the bacon avocado egg bowl with the fruit add on, and it was honestly very disappointing. The egg bowl was mushy and there was hardly any seasoning other than the normal saltiness from the bacon. The avocado was also just mush and there was so little of it. The bread side was barely toasted so it was floppy and just sad. The fruit..where to begin with the fruit. The fruit tasted canned or like the kind the fruit you would get in an economy commercial flight, but at least the planes refrigerate their fruit. The price after tax was $15.49 (before tip) and I would say that it is not worth the price. Their coffees were alright. I was also one of the first 100 customers for their opening, so I did get a one year coffee refill coupon with a coffee mug which was very nice, but other than that I was not impressed. Can't say anything about their other dishes as I haven't tried anything else, but the egg bowl I got, I do not recommend. Don't get me wrong, It doesn't taste bad, but it just doesn't taste like anything. Oh, but its 600 calories~ so I guess thats a positive.. Also if you do decide to eat at this place, sit towards the back where the bathrooms are because the AC works alot better there. The kitchen is open towards the front and the seats by the entrance is a bit too hot either from the kitchen or the lack of AC in the front. The employees were very nice so no complaints about the service. Just the food was so disappointingly below average. Its also right by 24hr fitness (1min walk away) so I can see so much potential clients for post workout meals as the foods claim to be low in calories, but I wouldn't pay 16 dollars for what I ate. Sorry

I've been a member of Corner Bakery Rewards, and I've earned enough points to earn a $5 off $15+ reward on a quarterly basis, but the reward is only good for the first month of each quarter. I usually frequent the Lakewood location, but enjoy trying the other locations to see how they compare. This location in Irvine is at Harvard Place Shopping Center on the southwest corner of Main and Harvard not too far off the 405. However, there isn't a freeway exit for Harvard, so if you want to stop by, you'll want to get off at Culver or Jamboree and head north towards Main St. When I arrived about an hour before closing time, I went up to the register to place my order. The cashier (Xiomara?) was so dull and lifeless it felt like her energy level was completely zapped that evening. She clearly didn't want to be working. In order to claim my reward, I had to provide my phone number. I usually go for a Choose Two at Corner Bakery since I feel you can get the most bang for your buck that way. A Choose Two is $13.99, and a premium entree item is a $1.59 upcharge. Before prices went up, it used to be $12.99 for a Choose Two, and a premium entree was only a $1 upcharge. My how times have changed in just a matter of a few years, and I've also kept in mind the decline in quality over those years. Today, my preferred Choose Two is the Power Greens & Grains Salad and a premium pasta, which there are 5 of at Corner Bakery. I went with the Pesto Cavatappi, which is simply grilled chicken, cavatappi pasta, and pesto cream. A Choose Two comes with a side, and I like to vacillate between the two salads, Mixed Greens & Classic Caesar, depending on my mood at the time. I went with the Caesar this time. After paying, Xiomara gave me a red numbered stand rather than a white card that other locations usually give you to place on top of the salt & pepper. I asked her how long the wait would be, and she estimated between 5 and 10 minutes. It was about 6 minutes before she came over to deliver my meal. The Pesto Cavatappi and the Power Greens & Grains Salad came in bowls while the Classic Caesar Salad filled half of a rectangular plate. The Power Greens & Grains Salad bowl was on the plate next to the Classic Caesar Salad. The first thing I noticed was how they skimped on the portion size of the Pesto Cavatappi. However, what they lacked in portion size, as well as chicken, they made up for in pesto cream. The pasta dish as a whole could have used a little more flavor; unfortunately, I had overlooked the seasonings right next to me! So definitely don't be like me in this regard lol. However, there was no seasoning needed for either of the salads. The Power Greens & Grains Salad came with the dressing on the side, but the Classic Caesar already had the dressing on it. A little odd, and I'm not sure why they did it that way? But they were good enough and up to par with the other locations. I even got to mix the remainder of the Caesar Salad with the extra pesto cream sauce from the Pesto Cavatappi, and the Caesar Salad tasted better if only by a little bit. Like I said, Xiomara's mood was pretty vapid during my visit, but I do have to give her credit for remembering to give me a water cup when I forgot despite mentioning it a minute ago lol. There are plenty of tables inside, and it was mostly empty upon my arrival. A few customers did come in after me, but by no means was it busy. If you prefer dining al fresco, they also have an outdoor patio at the rear of the cafe. The restrooms are to your right once you walk in. When I was there, I noticed the door was open, and there was a wet floor sign. Hopefully that is not the norm here and that an employee was cleaning it at the time of my visit. Overall, it is not a bad Corner Bakery Cafe to go to. The quality of the food isn't too much different than the other locations, but needless to say, there is definitely room for improvement. I wish the employees would show some degree of customer appreciation, but that seems to be coming at a premium regardless of what location you visit.

Half&Half combo: chicken carbonara & tomato.basil soup. Free ceasar salad on the side

A filling and delicious lunch of one of their available combos: half soup and half pasta. Tomato basil soup is tangy, and the carbonara has enough proteins for the carbs. Also happy that I get complimentary greens. Talk about a complete meal! Service is prompt, and the space is relaxing for leisurely dining.

Watery fake eggs
Jamee S.

A step up from airplane food. Fake watery eggs. Tiny bacon strips. Everything appears to be heated by microwave then plated with fresh avocado and shredded cheese. The baked goods look good. Maybe that's what they're known for? Service is friendly. Restaurant is clean. Overall, the food pictured on the menu does not look like your plate when it comes out.

Breakfast for dinner :)
Betty G.

Craving for breakfast for dinner tonight, so did an online order and stopped by this Corner Bakery location (one of the few left) on the way home and it was very good. Pancakes were fluffy and had a nice chewy texture. Scrambled eggs was moist, and the chicken sausage was good. I usually do not care for breakfast sausage but theirs was actually decent. My other favorite from Corner Bakery is the turkey cob salad, without bacon, of course.

Nice little cozy corner location ..being out of state I expected a more hometown feel....we arrived at 7pm and shortly after our food was ready they proceeded to CLEAN, mop, put chairs up on tables (I thought they closed at 9pm otherwise we would have gone somewhere else) food was good...my sandwich wasn't toasted ..I had the mozzarella, tomato, arugula sandwich and a Southwest salad ..kids had a creamy pesto pasta..sister had harvest salad ..we had dessert muffins, chocolate bundt cake and chocolate chip cookie....booth needed TLC..it was all duck taped together ..very uncomfortable to sit on....fortunately we were able to find another booth...we felt rushed out and we felt like we were in the way ..

My bf and I stopped here after our final PFT before the LA Hyrox race next week. I originally wanted to go to Poached but the line was too long, and we did not want to wait, so we walked over to Corner Bakery instead and was so glad we did! We both wanted something healthy and Corner Baker also offers omelettes and power bowls (new item), so we were happy and got a Garden Gate scrambler with chicken sausage without cheddar and a Power bowl, which is quinoa and chicken and spinach with eggs. Service was nice and fast. It didn't take long after we ordered and sat down that they brought out our food. And the best part was there was no line!!! Breakfast was so yummy and just what we wanted! Better yet I think my scrambler came just under $10! The cafe is really cute and clean, and their bakery and baked goods look soooo good! I couldn't get any but I know their cookies are amazing! The restroom was also super clean! Plenty of parking also!

This is my husband and I's first time at this location. We were on our way for a visit at the…read morehospital down the street so we decided to stop by. I would like to say that we both really like this location. The ambiance is nice, there's a lot of seating, indoor and outdoor. Good spot to hang out with friends and family. The food was very delicious, so kudos to the cooks and a big thanks to the guy at the bar, he handled everything very well. That being said, our experience was not the best. Upon entering the establishment, we browsed the menu for a couple minutes and came up to the counter when we were ready to order. We were not greeted or even looked at by the cashier so we weren't sure if she was busy or waiting to take our order. She finally made eye contact so we started ordering. She asked us something but the music was a little loud and there were customers chatting at the bar so it was a hard to hear. We apologized for not hearing and she repeated herself in a very annoyed tone and rolled her eyes. She already seemed annoyed as we entered the establishment so the entire process of ordering was very uncomfortable and her attitude after we missed what said, was very rude. She was giving us dirty looks our entire stay. When we got our food dropped off by the same cashier (I believe her name was Kadence as stated on the receipt) everything looked fine except they forgot to give us our sauce on the side. Not a huge deal, my husband went up to ask for it and the guy at the bar was very nice, even gave us extra sauce. We got to eating and when my husband took a bite of his sandwich, he bit into bacon and we do not eat pork! He was very upset and doesn't like to make a fuss (normally would eat the sandwich even if it was the wrong order) but again, we do not eat pork and not eating pork is a big deal to us so he just wanted the sandwich he ordered. I went to the register to ask if we can have the correct sandwich made and let them know they can take the other sandwich back and once again the guy from the bar came to help, our original cashier did not want to make eye contact, didn't bother coming up to the register or apologized for anything. We felt bad because they threw away the whole sandwich, which I know is the typical process for the food industry but still sad seeing the food go to waste. While we were waiting for the correct sandwich, Kadence was still giving us dirty looks so we decided to go eat outside and from outside we could still see her in the window continuing to give us dirty looks! Laughable at this point. My husband and I are both very friendly and understanding people, we always love to give the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she was having a bad day and it was an honest mistake, but her demeanor just made things very uncomfortable. Overall, we would not come back to this location as there are two other locations closer to where we live and their staff is always very friendly and helpful.

We got there at 8:30 pm, and they were already cleaning up, so we asked if they were still open before we ordered. They were so kind to let us order our sandwiches even though they were cleaning up the kitchen. We love their Dutch crunch bread so much so we bought two loaves to have at home. They made the sandwiches quick and we took ours and ate it in the car. Hubby got the whole Baja Cheesesteak with Dutch crunch bread and the meat was pretty red and the sauce was a bit spicy. He enjoyed his sandwich and his free cookie. I got the Sammie French Dip with Dutch crunch bread and the meat was too red for me. I like my meat cooked a little more, so I decided to wait to cook it more at home. The dip had a horseradish flavor which was too strong for me, so I will probably not eat it. I loved my free cookie! I really liked the Mr Pickle sandwich last time so I will definitely try another cold sandwich next time. I can't wait to make sandwiches with the Dutch bread we got!
