I have been going to the Sherman Oaks location for many years. That location has been closed for a while now. I have never been to the Pasadena location and there is always a 1st time for everything. A friend of mine decided to go to Corner Bakery Cafe and we did. We were there couple of weeks ago and got a very nice, pleasant welcome from Veronica. She was sweet, kind, and helpful. We placed the order at the register and she brought out our order on timely manner. Food was delicious, hot and fresh. I ordered their Chicken Carbonara & Chicken Pomodori, she got Green Chile Chicken Panini and we both shared everything. She also enjoyed and liked her food. Our food was very flavorful. We each got a Toffee Cookie which was not too sweet and hit the spot right after our meal. Didn't get any drinks. Stayed with water. The Ambiance was nice, chill and very welcoming. Place was very clean with 2 restrooms. I will definitely return to this location next time I go to visit her since she lives in Pasadena. Thank you Corner Bakery, Veronica and management!:-)) read more

I came here for the first time and got their $6.99 dinner special to go. The special comes with two half-portion entrées and a side. I ordered the carbonara pasta and the Chicken Rosa pasta, with garlic bread as the side. I really liked the carbonara pasta; it's my favorite pasta to get at Corner Bakery. It's very creamy, and the spaghetti is so soft. The Chicken Rosa pasta was good too, but it didn't pair well with the chicken. If I order this again, I'll ask for no chicken. The garlic bread was a bit burnt on the edges but still tasty. I also got a free cookie for completing an online survey. I chose the oatmeal raisin cookie, and it was delicious. It tasted homemade and was chewy, though it was sweeter than other oatmeal cookies I've had. Customer service was good. The staff who took my order was really friendly. read more

This Corner Bakery is the closest to my home -- but I don't visit often. Curious why? Keep reading. They were running a promo: choose any two items for $6.99 after 4pm. Such a good deal--I couldn't resist. Usually I just order online and pick up, but since I was already heading to Trader Joe's, I decided to go in person. I was planning to get two orders of the deal. When I got there, a staff member was finishing with a customer, then just left the register. I was standing there waiting, and after about a minute another staff member finally came over to take my order. I asked if I could use the deal for two orders, since the coupon didn't mention any restrictions other than "after 4pm" and "no third-party delivery." She said it was only once per person per phone per day. I wasn't sure if that was an actual rule, so I just ordered one. In the end, I asked if my friend could order online and have me pick up. She said, "Okay, I'll let you do it this time, but next time the other person has to come in themselves." The whole conversation had no smiles and wasn't friendly -- but at least I got the deal I wanted. I usually don't like interacting with the staff here. There's an older staff member, maybe a manager, who always looks unhappy or angry. Honestly, I don't think anyone working here ever seems happy. Lastly, when I picked up my order, the floor was wet. I'm not sure why they don't clean it up -- it's not so busy that they wouldn't have time. If you plan to come here, I recommend ordering online and just picking up to minimize contact with the staff. By comparison, the Corner Bakery in Burbank has much better service -- they even give out cake samples. It's night and day between this location and the one in Burbank. read more

Came here because a friend told me about this choose two of any pasta, salad, sandwich or soup for $6.99! Since my mom hates waiting long for her food at restaurants, and we both love a great deal, I decided to celebrate my birthday here. The four of us each got the choose two and highlights include the chicken pompadour sandwich, tomato basil soup, the broccoli cheddar soup, shrimp linguine, and chicken carbonara. Clarence took our order and he was friendly, funny and fantastic! I liked how he told us how much it was first then after he applied the discount! He even asked me to fill out a survey and you get a free cookie! Because we had an early dinner, we were the only ones there which was nice! We all enjoyed ourselves and thank you for such a great deal! Mention this deal when ordering as it ends on 1/31/26! read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - Chicken Carbonara and Chicken Pomodori - Salad Near Me - Pasadena, California

So far, my favorite Corner Bakery location. The service was helpful overall, the food was great, and the place is in a pretty area of Pasadena. My wife and I have been loving this two for $6.99 deal they've been running at Corner Bakery (in fact, it's been our favorite deal of the year so far). We have really enjoyed getting to know the menu, and in particular trying the pastas and the great sandwiches with the made-in-house breads. This location is no different. The place is surrounded by large windows, which makes it feel nice and open, and there's plenty of seating inside, no matter how busy it gets (and it can get busy). I ordered the chicken pesto pasta and the green chile chicken sandwich and a caesar salad. The pasta was flavorful and the sauce is generously portioned, which I appreciated. The sandwich was solid - the bread is fantastic, and the green chile and chicken worked well together. I still think I prefer the pomodori sandwich, but I'll get it next time. For $6.99, this deal feels like a steal, and we'll be back at least one more time this month. I hope they keep the deal going :) One small note - it seemed like they had a little confusion going on in the kitchen, and our cashier seemed to keep getting dragged away, or called to by other staff members. It wasn't a huge issue, but it did make the ordering process a little challenging. Other than that, loved it, and we'll be back. read more

Racist staff does greet a black doordash driver. Just say "pickup?" and no "thanks", then an Armanian and Chinese DoorDash or uber driver come in and they are greeted... and told thank you. I almost threw up my breakfast! Keep whatever hate you have to yourself when you're in customer service read more

Was SO disappointed in our meal. Hate wasting $40 on terrible food. We got the "choose two" from the menu. One of us got a club sandwich and half of the avocado was bad. We also had to send our soup back because it was room temp. It seemed like they re-plated our soups and microwaved them. We also had Cesar salad with our combos and some of the lettuce was bad... dressing had a weird fishy taste. We used to like Corner Bakery, but hadn't been there in years. Definitely won't be returning. read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - Bad avocado in our sandwich - Salad Near Me - Pasadena, California

There pasta is so dry, we order some carbonara and scampi pasta. I suggest for u guys to ask for extra sauce.

Started to come to this location, since it is open at 7am. We use the restroom because our situation. The early morning person ( woman) whom I don't know here name. Speaks in Spanish so in her mind think we don't understand what bad stuff she says about us. Little does she know we understand Spanish. But this review is not of her. This review is for Veronica. We walk in with a warm welcome and a great smile. Very professional. Attend to us when we order Anda smile. Brought our food quick and again a smile. She made us feel welcome. Felt like family.. unlike that other lady that talks bad about us. I really wish I knew her name. read more

Food was terrible. The entire place really needs a deep clean up and maintenance. The taste of a breakfast wrap was absolutely awful and the salsa I got looked overdue (sticky and gross). The coffee was not fresh. I used to come here mans it was good back in the old days, not anymore. read more

This has to be without a doubt the worse restaurant I've ever been in my life and no, I'm not exaggerating. Decided to eat here in order to kill some time before my mom's second doctor's appointment for that day and since the location is so close to her doctor's office, it seemed like a sensible choice, but in reality it was a horrible idea. Ordered a chicken pesto sandwich for my mom, ordered a caprese sandwich with fresh fruit for myself with a chai latte and an order of Mac n cheese to share. The sandwiches were served on a baguette that seemed to not have been fully cooked. My mom's pesto sandwich was cold, the chicken she said tasted as if they simply took it out of the fridge and then put on the bread. Mine had a weird taste to it, I couldn't quite pin point what it was, but it was just off. The Mac and cheese was disgusting, beyond dry and the sauce was non existent. The chai was equally bad, it had a very strong artificial taste to it. Couldn't finish any of it as it was just that bad. I honestly can't comprehend how this place can be as busy as it was, it has to be the location where it's at, because the food is truly awful. Never again. read more

Hi! 3.5 stars - Had lunch here today.. the good: good turkey avocado cobb salad! They give a lot!!! Shrimp scampi pasta was good just bland and lacked flavor.. the pasta was slightly overcooked for me but still good! I added more cheese! The broccoli and cheese soup was yummy!!! the improvements needed: the floor was wet at the soda areas and near kitchen / counter.. the place itself was a bit untidy.. the tables not wiped down, the carpet looked like it hadnt been vacuumed, the tables outside the cafe werent clean had plates etc and trash that was left and werent picked up. Just left there. Personally i think ppl (customers) should bring it back in and be polite! The staff seemed beat and tired no smiles. Just kinda blah. Anyway i still recommend corner bakery cuz its fresh the price is right and very good! :) read more

This place is hopping for Friday afternoon. Ordered the half and half option. Due to the lunch hour it's best to be patient. It was a little bit of wait before picking up my lunch at the counter today. Everything was made fresh, I love the harvest salad that includes all my favorites , apple bites, walnuts and cranberries. Loved it ! The pink lemonade was refreshing and tasty as well. Park in the back for optimal choices. The front parking is always taken. They take all payment options read more

My fiancé and I ordered two turkey & Swiss breakfast sandwich, a cold brew, lemonade & muffin. The food is nothing to brag about. When we walked in, the customer service? is absent. The girls at the front end, including the one with the red hair & eyelashes, just have the "I don't want to be there, I hate my job." Face. If customer service isn't your thing, then why are you working here? Such a poor representation of the company. Even their tone of voice. Not at ALL welcoming, no hospitality.. just lacking customer service. If you're not a people's person then why be there? Also, my fiancé had to use the restroom & stated the restroom was absolutely disgusting/dirty. The stall/toilet was full of s***. PLEASE do better. It's no wonder this place is has the reviews that it does. read more

The panini I ordered was saturated with oil, leaving oily finger marks where I wrapped a napkin around it to keep my hands free from the oil. The bread was your average sliced bread, the chicken inside little presliced divots. The entire location needs freshening up- it was pretty scuffed and shabby. The man behind the counter was affable and brought the plate to me. read more

My only remaining sibling died this week. Went to the fancy Macy's on Lake to buy her outfit to be buried in. Afterwards we thought we could use a pick me up. I wanted to go Erewhon but my daughter chose Corner Bakery because the one in Northridge Mall she said is really nice. Then @cornerbakery served me this jacked up chocolate croissant that they left in the microwave too long. (First, the brought it to me ice cold) It was inedible. I also orded a chai latte and what I got was a cup of milk with a splash of chai. They didn't even forth the milk. The Amazon kcup chai tea Is superior to this dreck ! Overall, I've had better quality food and beverage on an cheap airplane. Thanks for taking my money for nothing Corner Bakery. If my family instilled one thing in me it's that there is never an excuse not to do your best. So clearly, this sad ugly croissant and glass of ice milk is the best you can do. Now I feel like the crossaint: overheated and melting. You are terrible @cornerbakery I really needed that tea and croissant and your people just made a bad day worse. #neveragainbecauseyouarebad read more

This is the second time I eat at this restaurant and the potatoes are very sour! Gross. The first time I had the breakfast potatoes they were unreasonably sour. So I sent them back and they said they would make them crispier... still sour tossed them. Today I had their potato soup, not knowing they likely used the same gross potato and they were disgustingly sour. At first it came to the table like warm, the cheese did not even melt. I asked if they could make it hotter and c they kindly popped Irving they microwave. In had to vigorously mix it, and it's was not good. I've ate about 1/2 before I had to throw it away. When the staff checked on me and noticed I was not done with the soup I had to tell them to take it because it was not good. They did not question me. Not appetizing and although the staff is very nice but the food quality is low. Not going to do it a third time. read more

This place used to be my go-to spot for breakfast and dinner. I've been here twice this year, in 2025. Tonight, I'm having dinner, and it's disappointing me for the second time. The customer service is non-existent, and the food is of poor quality. I wish them the best in 2026, but I won't be returning. Goodbye, Corner Bakery. read more

A shame the menus are contradictory and misleading and the service only makes it more confusing, because the food is good. I have been looking forward to visiting this restaurant with my partner for months now, and eyeing their green chile chicken panini, but the customer communication left me genuinely offended. Firstly, ordering was a hassle. The cashier struggled her way through our order, and I had to correct her several times for missing items. Then, once I had ordered and sat down, I realized I had been upcharged $5.19 for my choice of side with my meal. I had specifically checked the menu, where it said all paninis were "served with any Side"- and checked the Sides section on the menu, where the DC chicken salad was included. But I was upcharged $5.19 for that side, without being told by either the menu or the cashier. I brought my receipt back up the counter to ask for an explanation, and explained that the menu said any side could be included and there was no signage to indicate any sort of up-charge. Another woman, who I believe may have been the location manager, let me know that "some sides had an up-charge," and I showed her that there is no reference to that on any menu. She apologized for the confusion, and asked me if I still wanted the side or if I would like a refund, and to be swapped for a side that was not an extra charge- and I agreed, and swapped to a caesar salad. Right as we were processing the refund, a server brought our food to the table we were sitting at, with the chicken salad already prepared, but paused, looked back at his manager, and removed the chicken salad from the plate before placing it down on the table. Now, I understand I had just been issued a refund for this, but I do believe restaurant etiquette is that if the restaurant itself caused a price error, and the food is already prepared, it is still delivered to the customer if only to avoid food waste and a walk of shame, and also as an apology. They did, however, as compensation, refund me for a bakery item I had ordered along with my meal, which was a kindness that did somewhat make up for it. The food itself was delicious, and that is the only reason this review is getting 2stars instead of 1. The panini was nice and crisp and not too greasy but not dry either. It was just what I had hoped for when I read there was a green chile chicken panini on their menu. Their maple pecan bar was also very good, though the crust was a bit too crumbly. However, every 7 or so minutes an alarm would loudly beep from the kitchen for upwards of a minute. As I mentioned earlier, my chicken salad side had been replaced for a caesar salad, but no one brought it to me. I waited for 20 minutes for my replacement caesar salad, and then I had to ask and remind them for it to be brought to me. For reference, it took them less than 15 minutes to bring out two paninis and a special salad. In all, if I ever crave a green chile chicken panini again, I will either be ordering just the sandwich for pickup online, or I will be finding a way to make or find it somewhere else. read more

The food was great! Very fresh and attractively presented. The staff members were friendly and helpful. Great menu selection too. The tables were left with dirty dishes almost our entire meal. Then, when the dishes were cleared the tables were not wiped and there were obvious food bits and pieces on the surface. I would go back there in a minute though. read more

Came here after a hike. Over the weekend and we got there just intime before they had a mini rush. The service was good.the cashier was very patient with me as I was ordering. I ended up grabbing the wrong menu and she corrected me once she found out. Ended up ordering the 2 kids breakfast so the kids can split it. My sister in law and I shared a choose 2 as we weren't that hungry yet. The girls enjoyed their meal. The club panini was good. I enjoyed it. The Cesar salad wasn't overly dressed, which is good for me as the salad didn't get soggy, not the best description I know. The broccoli cheddar soup was a little too salty for us, but the salad helped when the soup got too salty for us. Overall, a good experience and we wouldn't mind coming back again. read more

My go to is the Uptown Turkey/Avocado sandwich. I don't usually like bacon, but I like it in this sandwich. When you get this sandwich is usually bigger in portion than other places. I joined their rewards program, so I got a coffee for 99 cents and a free dessert for my birthday. Like I said, the sandwich is yummy, not to die for, but yummy. Now their desserts, now they are to die for. The husb and I shared the maple pecan pumpkin bundt cake. You can get a specialty drink for 99 cents once a week, but I opted for the regular coffee since I was going to have a sweet dessert. Employees are prompt with requests, as well as helpful and polite. This location is a bit livelier than the Hastings Ranch location. Lots of people come in and out and some people do sit and eat like the husb and I. It's a good people watching place since the window see out to Lake Avenue in Pasadena. We'll be back CB! read more

The food is decent and the drinks are good. Mostly fresh and a good simple breakfast spot. Food is like iHop tier. The restaurants cleanliness however is not up to par. The booths smell like dirty cloth. You can tell they haven't been cleaned in awhile. The cloth is black and brown with stains in some areas. The coffee area is pretty standard and clean but the counters are not. read more

Not happy with the staff at the Pasadena location on Lake Avenue. I used their website to contact them with an inquiry and after 5 follow-ups still no response! How can they expect to stay in business when they cannot respond to a customer's inquiry? This is just wrong! read more

Visited: 2024-08 Note(s): chain; fill out their survey after your meal for a free cookie that you can redeem right away. Meatball panini: decent sandwich but the marinara sauce could use a bit more flavor. Berry pecan salad: pretty good salad. $1.59 extra when chosen for the choose 2 option. Not sure if I'd do this again for that extra price. Choose 2 also comes with option of fruit, chips and garlic bread. Monster cookie: ok cookie. Did not stand out from a store bought cookie. S got the southwest chicken salad and thought the ingredients were of low quality and would not get again. Overall: looking for a healthy place to eat, we ended choosing this place. Unfortunately it wasn't worth the price we paid and the taste wasn't there either. Friendly staff but the restaurant could be a bit cleaner. read more

I was in such a bad mood today, I thought I would give this place a 1 star review. They didn't have any healthy dressings for their sandwiches, all their sandwiches revolve around whole mayo. So I got my turkey sandwich with mustard, and a negative attitude. I took the sandwich home, and realized the bread in this sandwich is the best whole wheat bread I ever had in my life. The turkey quality is marvelous, and the balsamic dressing for my side salad is the best dressing I ever had in a salad. I would've given them a 5 star review, but them lacking any sandwich spreads (low fat/non-fat/vegan mayo) really hurts them. I will be a regular at this restaurant. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch because I was craving something warm and comforting. My usual go to is the pesto chicken sandwich with the chicken noodle soup. It delivers every time. I really love the flavors and I always feel satisfied after I eat. This location is smaller than ones that I've been to and it was quite packed. Luckily, I was able to snag a table and enjoy my meal inside. The oddest thing for me was that I had to pick up my food at the counter at this location, where as the other ones i frequent drop it off at your table. Obviously no big deal, just a little inconsistent. Too bad I didn't get any of the delicious sweets they have, I love all the baked goods. Corner Bakery is a great spot for a quick bite and decent meal. They have healthy options from soups to salads that are tasty. Love visiting for lunch! read more
