We had a meeting and needed lunch we order bacon & egg croissant, Uptown Turkey avacodo sandwich, and a cold brew. The croissant was fresh crisp flaky, eggs fluffy, bacon prominent the hole sandwich delicious. The turkey was delicious and the avacodo was the perfect complement for this sandwich. The cold brew was strong and tasty I added my own hazelnut creamer to top off this drink. read more

I really want to like this Corner Bakery location since it's my local spot, but between the decline in food quality and the customer service, it's getting hard to. On my last visit, I ordered the $6.99 Pick Two Special to go. While I was ordering, the manager asked if I had the coupon. I told him I could pull it up online since it's been all over Corner Bakery's social media. He said he'd give me the deal this time, but next time I'd need to download the app. That didn't really make sense because I've ordered this same special here and at other locations before and was never asked for a coupon. After that, he asked if I wanted a drink. I said no, but he kept going--cookie, cake, bagel. I get upselling, but it felt a little pushy and kind of awkward. I got the Italian Rustic panini, pasta cavatappi, and a Caesar salad. The panini was actually really good. It had good flavor with a little spicy kick. The Caesar salad, though, barely had any croutons. The pasta cavatappi was the biggest letdown. The sauce was bland and watery, and there was barely any chicken. I asked one of the employees for some parmesan to try to fix the pasta, and she didn't make eye contact, turned halfway away, and responded that they didn't have any, with an expression that came across as dismissive. That was confusing since the Caesar salad I ordered literally came with parmesan. This place used to be one of my go-to study spots years ago, but now I can't really see myself wanting to hang out here for long, especially with the service being like this. The $6.99 special seems like a great way to bring people in, but this location is doing just the opposite. read more

Came in one a Tuesday night close to closing. Love Corner Bakery! But a bit disturbed at the fact the lady that prepared my food was also cleaning (held a wet rag and sweeping the floor. Who knows how many hands touch or where that broom was stored) and she didn't change out her gloves. While the two ladies in front stood there waiting for the food to be packed. I wanted to say something but didn't want to since it was close to closing time. I'm the type of person that hates coming in close to closing. But wanted to use my discount before it expired since there's no location close to me. And my sandwich is brunt! read more

We came in for a bite to eat after attending a demonstration in front of the city hall. My friend had scrambled eggs, bacon, and a stack of pancakes, and a blueberry muffin. He enjoyed everything , but the coffee left grounds in his cup. I wasn't very hungry so I just had a muffin and a drink. The muffin was warmed up and it was chocolate. There's no such thing as a bad chocolate muffin . That's that's right right. read more

This was my first and last experience with Corner Bakery. I ordered through Doordash, but that wasn't the issue. When I opened my sealed order, a tuna sandwich and broccoli cheddar soup, I noticed the soup cup wasn't filled, it was maybe a little more than halfway. Disappointed I didn't get the full portion I moved on to the barely there tuna sandwich. Now, when I tell you I'm disgusted, it's such an understatement. There was a BITE taken out of one of the tomatoes. like you can see their teeth and everything, gross! I called to let them know what happened and the manager kept repeating they cut their tomatoes daily. Not only is this the worst part of a tomato to serve a customer, but the bite, man. The portion, the bite, the gaslighting.. Truly disappointing and disgusting, I will never eat from any Corner Bakery again. read more

Definitely a huge disappointment. I go to this place quite often but when you see a special you're like right on it's about time. You call and they tell you that they're not participating in this promotion which truly upsetting because now I have to go to a different one and give them my business when this business is just right down the street from my house. It sucks for the whoever the manager the business manager tells them that they're not part of the promotion we just lost a lot of people. read more

Ordered dinner at 6pm on Friday 2/20 . 2 shrimp scampi dinners . When I got home to eat it . My husband and I were so disappointed. It was like eating plain pasta with some shrimp. Waste of money . No flavor - they forgot the sauce . Couldn't go back because I was exhausted from work . read more

This is my boyfriend's and myselfs second time here we really enjoy the food and just how relaxed it is. The food is very good and very affordable and comes out quick and delicious and just great employees who are helpful and friendly and make coming here nice.

Went last week for the $6.99 advertised special. What a great deal, in addition to meals, we bought 3 drinks, desert after meal, and the sugar crisps that almost $10 by themselves. Very nice dinner. Came back last night and were told they were no longer honoring the advertised special? We would have breakfast quite offensively. They shot themselves in the foot. I would spend much more than the special. Just the principle... never again. read more

The staff here is friendly and seemingly efficient. Orders are taken quickly. The tables get bussed regularly. I came here for breakfast. I was in the mood for bacon and eggs, which they sort of have. The eggs are scrambled only and they dont really taste like much. I blame my choice, as i'm sure the bakery-based products are much better. The coffee is pretty good. The space is clean and open. It was a pleasant place to hang for 30 minutes or so. This is like a 3 1/2 star place. But any fault I had today was for my poor choice, so round up. read more

Back again for more great food, service and ambiance:) Came back just for the pastries and to see what other services are offered. As you stand in line, there are also pastries you can buy off the shelf, catering menus and large containers of coffee to go. I was excited to see that you can order "Truffle Hot Chocolate" for a large gathering. Doesn't that sound amazing! read more

2nd time coming here ordering a Bacon and Cheese panini and croissant. Last time they forgot the cheese on both sandwiches. This time they forgot the he bacon on the panini and the cheese on the croissant. $22 and i got screwed on my order. WTF is going on there??? read more

Typically the main focus of a sandwich is the filling, but when you're dining at a bakery, it's the bread that really steals the show. I ordered a tuna sandwich. The tuna and the lettuce/tomato are good, but they're not nearly as memorable as the two pieces of multi-grain toasts holding the whole deal together. They are fragrant, fluffy, soft, and sweet. I ordered salad for my side because I am trying to eat better, and I realized that the salad dressing on the side serves as the perfect dipping sauce for the sandwich. You can dip your sandwich as you go, or you can drench the dressing all the sandwich. We all know that man shall not live by bread alone, so the kind and courteous service demonstrated by every staff really cinched the deal. Even though the customers order at the counter, they do bring the food to your table, and you can't bus your own table. I should tip more the next time I visit. The store is tastefully decorated, and I appreciate the local touch by having a mural featuring landmarks around the city of Lakewood. read more

We used to love coming here but lately we recently had rude experiences from the lady with a piercing in her nose. Lots of sarcasm, rolling of eyes and unnecessary impatience. We've enjoyed their sandwiches and pastries but after our bad experiences we'll take our business elsewhere. Hopefully things will be different in the future because we live close by. read more

Food fresh. Great salads and sandwiches. Fast service. Good menu with plenty of choices . Good deal with coupon

Tried to give this location another chance and it is still not worth it. Customer service was so-so. The food was nothing to brag about it. it is really sad I waited 10 min & paid $21.74 for a sandwhich that looks like a preschooler put together! I had the loaded bake potato soup, which some of the potatoes appeared not to be cooked long enough. I get it this location appears to focus on their big catering orders so forget the individual customer. I will not be back to this location! read more

I'm starting to lose hope in this Corner Bakery Cafe, not good especially considering the Long Beach location closed just recently, thus making the second closest location much farther away from me. Quality of the food hasn't quite been the same as before. I like to go for the Choose Two because you get the most bang for your buck that way, depending on the entrees you choose. I prefer the pastas, namely the Chicken Rosa and the Shrimp Scampi Linguine. When done right, both are unbeatable, but when not, they're not worth paying the premium upcharge of $1.49 each when it used to only be a $1 upcharge. But now, it's $1 more for a Choose Two. It used to be $11.99, but now it's $12.99, which I have seen it happen across other locations nearby. I had a Choose Two in San Antonio, TX earlier this year, and it was $10.99 back then with a $1 upcharge for premium items. Now, it's $12.29 with a $1.49 upcharge, so don't think it's happening only in SoCal. I went with my go to Choose Two there, and the pastas I had there were better than any of the pastas I've had here! I've still had good pastas here and there at this Lakewood location, but I'm also suspecting they put less in the pasta bowls compared to before. The drinks have still hit the spot for the most part, but my last one missed the mark. I went on a Saturday late afternoon, wanting something hot to counter the cooler fall weather outside. I went with a Large Hot Chai Latte, but the drink wasn't filled up all the way. I didn't notice until I was already on the road, but that was a little disappointing. And there was a time when I ordered an iced tea, but the employee had several other drinks to make. After making all those drinks, she set them off to the side away from the customer, so we would have had to go up and ask for our drinks. Clearly, some training needed to be done; otherwise, how would we have known when our drinks would be ready?! Service, as most of us have experienced in the restaurant industry, hasn't been the best. In fact, it seems like every visit these days, I'm seeing new faces, and I can't help but wonder if any of the old faces are still with Corner Bakery, but just work at a time when I can't make it there. On a rare occasion, you'll get a good one. Like, for example, when Jane noticed I was waiting an eternity for only a drink, she not only made the drink for me, but also offered a free sweet to make up for the long wait. Other than that, nothing has stood out. Well one did, but in the opposite direction. One of the managers asked me for my phone number so she could look up my rewards. When I showed her my number on my phone, a trick I like to do if it gets too loud inside, she said she couldn't read it, and I'd have to spell it out for her. But she could read the register? lol okay that makes sense. All this being said, it sounds as if they are more like a 2 star establishment, but I liked my previous visits enough that I'm willing to drop just one star instead of two. However, I sincerely hope this review update could serve as a wake up call so they can get back to their winning ways; otherwise, they may suffer the same fate as the Long Beach location! :O read more

The food is great! The service is excellent! but your coffee could use a whole lot more beans! April 27 - I maintain - the food is great and the service is excellent! However, we have to rename the coffee to what it is - "hot water"! We've thought of bringing our own coffee pouches to dunk in our cups! read more

Rating: 3.5 Was in the area and wanted a salad. Ambiance was quiet and laidback. Service was satisfactory with staff that were nice enough. ORDERED: + Chopped Salad: romaine, grilled chicken, avocado, tomato, green onion, with avocado dressing. Presentation was nice when it was brought to the table but the more I kept eating I noticed brown pieces in my salad and I DIDN'T appreciate that. Don't have the top of the salad looking nice and then put the scraggly, withered, brownish pieces at the bottom. DO BETTER! [photo attached] read more

Truly disappointing. Have had tasty food from this chain in the past. Nit today. The crispy roast beef sandwich was unappetizing. Think they used old bread that was dry in my mouth. Also ordered a Bundt cake that was the same quality. The icing along with the cake were both hard. Not sure how long it had been in the cabinet but wasn't close to being fresh. read more

Way too over priced and people that work here are kind of rude. A sandwhich should not be $20 with a side of chips...especially for the quality and quantity given. Nice environment and vibe so that's why I have them 2 stars(being nice lol) but yea wouldn't recommend if im being honest. read more

I LOVE CORNER BAKERY! I love their "Pick Two - Tuesday Deal" (for Premium items add $1) - such a great deal!

Really bad latte. The regular lattes look and taste like it's mostly milk. I think it's also almost believable that there's only milk in the drink in terms of taste. :( Disappointed. I asked whether it would be possible to remake, and they mentioned they'd charge extra for an extra espresso. I wish I got a black coffee or cold brew since they're purely coffee drinks. And the Wifi is connectable but it doesn't work. read more

Our office often gets catering from them. The whole office wants to give credit to their Manager, Mike. He was relocated a few months back and the whole staff was really bummed about it. But now we are happy he is back!!! Mike is very professional, very good communication skills which is rare to find these days. I have recommended to my friends whenever they have catering needs to speak to him and no one else. We are happy he is back at Lakewood! The guy deserves a raise, always helping out, and very visible when you need him. Other Managers can take a lesson from him seriously! Thank you Mike for always a superb service! read more

Very shocked, I've been eating at corner bakery for years and I called this location to place an order and the girl who answered told me that corner bakery has NEVER allowed phone orders. I've gotten catering and more from this location and others and I've always ordered food ahead of picking it up. They've had a pickup window even before they had an online order system. That was annoying read more

I love this cafe. It would be great to fix their free wifi as it has been broken for a few weeks.

Apparently they only serve food with to go boxes, even if you're eating at the location. 1. How wasteful and unsustainable is this?! 2. Is this a company rule or is this location lazy? 3. Portions were insanely small. Corner bakery is not inexpensive lol We went last weekend and were not happy. The Cesar salad was not mixed with the dressing like it normally is. The salad leaves weren't chopped small enough. The sandwich was so small, finished in 3 big bites. We decided we won't be returning to this location anymore. read more

I'd say this place is okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. The environment isn't very welcoming & the food is your typical breakfast. For the price, there's not much that stands out here. The booth I sat in was broken. lol. The girls that helped me out were kind, but the older lady that took my order was a bit stern. I personally wouldn't come back, but I could've just had a bad experience. read more
