So I ordered catering from this place for a meeting in Pasadena. I had 18 people to feed AND of course, several were "off dairy" and a few others vegetarian. I was super impressed with the catering services from this Corner Bakery location. I placed the entire order online with no problems whatsoever. I chose a mix of salad (protein, no dairy) and a sandwich tray with several options including a vegetarian one. I also got sides of potato chips (individual serving bags) and a large iced tea and some canned sodas. Received email confirmation of my order right away, paid online. Easy as can be. Called the morning of the meeting to confirm... very nice catering manager assured me it would all be fine - and it WAS! I asked for a delivery time of 12:30 for a 1 PM meeting. They were already there and had it set up by 12:15! Everything was covered/wrapped so I just had to unwrap things before people showed up. And they brought EVERYTHING I would need... plates, napkins, serving spoons, sweetener for tea, ice, cups... everything! I was so impressed. Cost was about $260 including delivery - so less than $15 per person. Probably not the cheapest lunch you can find but for all the service and the absolute ease and stress they took away from my life -- SOOO worth it. And everyone seemed to love the food. Highly recommend their catering for your next meeting or event. read more

Haven't been here in a while but should have came back earlier. I've been frequenting the mom and pop family sandwich shops more than the chains but today I rediscovered the Corner Bakery. Great friendly service and a great selection of salads, paninis, sandwiches and baked goods. All served of their own breads. Great beverage selection as well (self serve with flavored teas and lemonades). You can't beat their half sandwich/soup or salad combos. This Corner Bakery is a gem of a chain restaurant! read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - Salad Near Me - Pasadena, California

I definitely prefer going to Corner Bakery then Panera bread. You get better selections, more choices of entrees and scrumptious varieties of baked good. Everything made to order and fresh. The workers are friendly and provide good service. Because it's so close to work and shopping, I find myself dining here when I'm looking for something healthy and tasty. Their sandwiches are excellent, especially Chicken Pomodori on sourdough. Good thick portions of chicken strips, seasoned and peppery. Plus the sweetness from the roasted tomatoes and basil combined with spinach, provolone and pesto adds such aromatic balance of flavors and taste. Compliment that with a pickle slice and chips and you got a satisfyingly good lunch. For you salad lovers, I suggest the Asian Wonton, Harvest and Chopped salads which are all delicious and nutritious. More like a meal. If you're still hungry, then I suggest you try their baked goods. Both their bundt cake (Chocolate or Gingerbread Pumpkin) and whoopee pies (red velvet or cookie & cream made) are decadent and amazing. Guaranteed to satisfy any sweet tooth and get you extremely full. Catering service for any occasion is available. Prepared special box lunches (sandwich, chips, fruit salad and cookie) or large pasta tray of Pesto Cavatappi with chicken, salad, bread stick and dessert trays (brownies, cookies and bundt cake) Perfect for company meetings, training classes or private parties. Cons - lunch is always busy and crowded so its hard to get seats inside. Patio seating is available, but not a lot of tables with umbrellas and are small. Free Wi-Fi - perfect for PCC students, business people and Yelpers. Parking - Park at Macy's or meter parking on Lake street. read more

Can't say enough good things! My boyfriend and i love coming here! The staff is friendly and patient. Plus the serving sizes are huge and for a reasonable price. There was one occasion were we found a hair in the pasta, brought it to the workers attention and the problem was resolved right away no hassle. That's just good service! read more

I stopped by here to continue studying for midterms. I hopped into the cafe to get an iced tea, then walked outside to one of their many comfortable plush couches. They have extensive outdoor seating, which provided a great environment to study as I needed the fresh air. The place is pretty clean and free of trouble makers. There is a security guy that posts during the evenings, so no trouble is tolerated here. The inside is a standard cafe with a variety of food choices. Since I had recently ate, I only ordered the iced tea. However, I will be back to try out some of their entrees. If not for the food, come for the comfortable outdoor seating while you study, or mingle with friends. read more

I love Corner Bakery and have craved their chopped salad since 3/16/2020 when we went into Stay At Home quarantine. Today we finally ordered food to go and my salad was a such a disappointment because there was some old lettuce mixed in with fresh. I found the end of a romaine lettuce with a rotten spot. It put me off my salad sadly.... read more

I feel as though there has been a lot of changes on Lake Ave. but I'm happy to see corner bakery still remains. Not a fan of sub/sandwich places such as Quiznos or Subway, corner bakery is a step up for me where I can always get a good quick meal. My go-to favorite continues to be the trio salad (DC chicken salad-sometimes two orders of this-with various others, complete with field greens and really good bread), or the corner combo with half of a DC chicken salad sandwich, baked potato soup, and chips. I sometimes switch this up with Mom's turkey sandwich or chicken soup, but they've all been enjoyable. Only items I've never favored are their coffee and pastries, oddly since I generally enjoy these items elsewhere. Corner Bakery-for me-has been consistent regardless of which location I end up, and I'm glad to say I have a reliable place for good food wherever I may find myself, be it South Coast to Burbank. I've enjoyed their food back east and am happy to have it out here as well. read more

Great for Breakfast & Lunch! Order online and skip the wait online. You have the option to pay with a cc online or at the cashier when you arrive. Ambience: Casual, indoor & outdoor seating. Coffee: Average, nothing special Paninis: I highly recommend the Anaheim breakfast panini & Club panini on Sourdough w/smoked turkey & Applewood smoked bacon is a must! Desserts: From pound cakes, brownies, dessert bars to monster cookies. All sweet but oh so good! Your glucose levels will surely rise w/these sweets....you might want to share a dessert than having one to yourself. read more

After working out at 24 Hour Fitness, we ate lunch at Corner Bakery. I was in the mood for a salad and the Chopped Salad ($6.99) hit the spot. From the Corner Bakery website: Oven-roasted chicken, crisp applewood smoked bacon, avocado, bleu cheese, tomatoes, and green onions tossed with iceberg and romaine lettuce in our sweet and spicy house vinaigrette. I normally change the dressing to balsamic vinaigrette. The salad also comes with a roll. My friend had the Baked French Toast ($5.69) - A sweet morning treat of our cinnamon raisin bread baked in a vanilla French custard and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Served with our homemade vanilla syrup, applewood smoked bacon, and a side of fresh fruit medley. That dish is also very good. I like this location because you can sit outside and soak up the sun and people watch. Cheers! read more

The hubby and I stopped by here for a lunch a few Saturdays ago. I love outdoor seating when it's nice out and they're available. While sitting outside, though, the wind picked up and people's leftover wrappers and napkins started falling on the ground. I feel like people should take their trash inside when they're done, but maybe the employees should also make a better attempt at picking that stuff up at the same time. It was the same issue inside... napkins on the floor... and the women's restroom was awful, but I noticed I went into it right after a woman and two small boys finished using it. There was trash everywhere--ugh! Hence, my 3-star rating. The service at the counter and food was more like 4 stars. I got the Spinach Sweet Crisp Salad. It comes with "freshly sliced strawberries, oranges, red grapes, dried cranberries, green onions, creamy goat cheese and raisin pecan sweet crisps, drizzled with [their] homemade pomegranate vinaigrette." On the side was a small, crunchy breadstick (I didn't like it). The salad was fresh and very tasty. My hubby had a small bowl of chili and a small bowl of mac and three cheese. While he said everything tasted good, he hoped the chili was a bit hotter (not spicy, but heat wise). The old fashioned lemonade was decent. I'd definitely come here again to see if my overall experience was better. I'd probably stick with a fresh salad. It was darn good. I also want to try the cinnamon pecan rugalach.

I dropped by here for a quick tea before heading out to dinner last night. I love this location because it's near the mall so parking is really easy. Parking is so important to me when in this area of Pasadena! This location has a really cute seating area outside. It's probably one of my more favorite locations for a corner bakery. read more

The Corner Bakery participated in the Holiday event along Lake this month and donated a wonderful cookie assortment that weighed about 20 pounds. Needless to say, I could not eat them all, so we shared them at a Christmas Party that day. There were many compliments, and the box was empty after 15 minutes! With my sincere gratitude to the management of Corner Bakery, thank you for your generosity during this holiday season! read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - Winning Prize From Corner Bakery - Salad Near Me - Pasadena, California

I really wish I worked closer to Corner Bakery, because I think they do a great job with their food. The employees here are always friendly. The patio in summer can get crowded, but I like that they have water bowls for dogs, and most people seem to bring pretty well-behaved dogs. My favorite is a half ruben panini with caesar salad. But honestly, I don't think there is a bad thing on the menu. (Perhaps I am saved from my own order-the-worst-thing tendencies.) Breakfast here is also a solid choice, if you don't have time for a fancy place but want something better than McDonald's. They even serve breakfast past noon on the weekends, if you wake up late and insist on having eggs when everyone is having a sandwich. *Points to Mrs. C* Have you tried the black currant iced tea? That is hands down my FAVORITE self-service drink in the LA area. I can refill that thing all day if you give me a chance. Cinnamon rugalach is pretty good, too. Mrs. C will buy 4 or 5, but I limit myself to 1. read more

I used to come here until we found out there was a Corner Bakery closer to me. Now we go to the one in Hastings Ranch, but not because we don't like this location. I love the outdoor seating of this location. It takes up most of the courtyard. =] The food is good. I love coming for their breakfast. I like the Farmer's Scrambler and the Anaheim Scrambler. I love their potatoes they put on the side. They also have a good Chicken Pomodori Panini. If you like pastas, you'll have to try the Pesto Cavatoppi. read more

I'll have to say that it's been awhile since I've been to Corner Bakery Cafe. As a carb lover, I find that surprising. This location is on Lake Ave in Pasadena, located nearby to a FREE parking garage! Let me say that again: FREE. In Pasadena. I found myself searching fervently for the fine print on that one, but no, it is and was free. In South Pasadena. I mean, whoa! Anyway, the parking garage is for Macy's, Border's, and a whole slew of other stores, but look hard enough and you'll find parking on one of the levels....for free! Anyway, this Corner Bakery has a giant outdoor patio area, a medium sized indoor area, and plenty of food options. I had the old fashioned oatmeal, which may seem plain and boring (which is what my waistline and me where going for), but it was delicious! They also have every sandwich and panini and soup you could ever want, so tasty that you may pass out from pure delight. And...next to the drink station, they have lemon wedges, sugar packets of every kind, jam, butter packets, and probably some other stuff I missed! It's all free and for the placing on your meal! Wow! You mean I don't have to beg for all my favorite condiments or be charged extra if I want more than two?! If you eat indoors, you are given a number, can sit down (rather than simply joining a mob of people and waiting for your order) and put your number up. A waiter or waitresses comes by to drop off your meal once they see your number, and after you finish your meal, they come by to collect your tray and plate. The cashier accidentally forgot to give me my number when I first ordered, but I had barely finished filling up my cup for water when the waiter called my number and gave me my order. Later, the cashier came by and apologized for not giving me my number. Um...excellent! It wasn't even five minutes before I received my order. So, I can be hungry, order my food, and it's prompt! Yes! My stomach is happy. :-) I've been to a few Corner Bakery's and this is definitely my favorite location. Service has been excellent here and the food is delicious! Corner Bakery can be on my corner any day! read more

I loved coming here when I was younger. There's a lot of open space to eat in doors and out. The customer service is always friendly and accommodating! I love ordering their chicken pesto! It's perfect! And as a kid of course I loved their side chips and pickles! I haven't been here for a while, but I'm sure if I did, I would probably order the same thing! The prices are also great! read more

I am really into their soups. Sandwiches pair well with them. Tasty, light lunch that is also satisfying.

Just saw a fly land on the cinnamon rolls... 1min later the manager comes and dumps the entire tray in the trash! Good job!! Now... wheres the fly swatter? Great service and the food is better here than the Corner Bakery in Hasting Ranch (foothill) read more

I came here for lunch and got the 1/2 sandwich and soup combo for $8.99. I ordered the Chicken pesto sandwich and the chicken noodle soup. The sandwich came with a pickle and a bag of chips. Honestly, the sandwich was the best part of my meal. It tasted great and it was really easy to eat. However, it was tiny. The 1/2 sandwich is maybe like 5 big bites worth...so it was not filling at all. As for the soup, it was just meh. I thought it tasted like campbell's chicken soup from a can. Nothing special here. The portion was kinda small too. Overall, the meal wasn't that filling and it cost $10 with tax and it was without a drink. If I had to come back, I'd probably just get the whole chicken pesto sandwich without the soup. I came during lunch and all the interior seats were taken, but luckily they have outdoor seating. read more

I really like C. bakery! I especially love their coffee! They have that espresso that will wake you up! O_o lord knows I need that like every morning. I came here and ordered 2 of their chicken sandwiches with a side of pasta. Instead I got it with chips. No biggie, they were swamped anyway. I went to the side and the girl who had taken my order, I believe was the manager just looked at me and continued taking another customers order. Turns out that customer was beginning an order for catering. Ughhh! I waited as my mom told me to never interrupt. I wish I wasn't raised like that because 10 minutes and I just stood there off to the side. I was about to say something to her and I know she saw me, but she just kept working with another customer. If you're the manager you should send somebody else to come help at the side with a to go order. 20 minutes later after I got back in line all she did was say sorry and charge me extra for the items to the chips back that I had dropped, oops and she just said sorry. Well that didn't help that my sandwich was soggy and falling apart by the time I tried eating it. Super waste of my time. Next time I will not listen to my mamma and I will interrupt and ask to have someone else help me if she is busy with a customer. read more

A friend invited to meet at Corner Bakery for lunch. 1st trying this cafe. Very limited sitting inside, so we sat outside. Decent looking baked goods But not attractive enough for me to give it a try. Very limited menu. Both my friend and I ordered the prime rib sandwiches but they were out of beef. The only choice was chicken or Turkey?! So, we ended up ordered Turkey Cobb salad and Turkey Cobb sandwich. Salad was fresh and sandwich was okay but no surprise. One star deduction for limited menu and meat selection and It's 1:30pm on Saturday only! 2nd star deduction for slow kitchen service. read more

I dont mean to be mean...but if your hours say you're open until 7:30, you're open until 7:30 unless your owner has some werid policy as most places are equpped for a 15 to 30 minute closing period after closing hours. My partner and I were there to get a coffee and be on our merry way, no food, no baked goods, which is the polite thing if you know some place is closed soon. At 7:23, I was told they were 'actually closed' and turned away. Here's proof of the door being locked before closing time. read more

This is a bakery? Why does it suck? I regret ordering and paying for our food. Won't be fucking with this place ever again.

Located in the heart of Pasadena. This lovely 1200 sqft restaurant calms my nerves in a cold day. Go for the panini/soup combo. I recommend the tortilla soup and choose any panini they're all pretty good. If there's sun out (which there is in Pasadena 300 days out of the year) sit outside! Food: Everything is fresh and feels healthy to me for whatever reason. I have yet to try their breakfast menu but I'm sure it won't disappoint. Service: The manager was extremely friendly. He helped us sign up for free emailed coupons and even promised to arrange a time to bring my office free catering once for our continued business! Can't say no to free food...right? Environment: Clean and well designed. They serve the local businesses as well as the office buildings around. I also noticed a lot of students in here perhaps from Pasadena City College? Looks like a great place to study. Price: For the quality and type of food it is well worth with. Food: 4 Service: 4 Environment: 4 Price: 4 read more

After a nice long hike up Echo Mountain me and some friends decided to eat here for lunch. Prices here are a little bit more than average for sandwiches, but it was filling.

Great place! read more

This place is all hustle and bustle. It's always packed, but that doesn't keep me from enjoying this spot. The staff is great, and despite the crowds of people, they are pretty good at getting your food to you without too much of a wait. I have the most difficult time choosing what to order every time. Everything always looks so delicious. I usually go with the farmer's scramble or the oatmeal for breakfast, it's delicious. I usually have difficulty when placing my order because their baked goods tempt you while you're ordering. I can never resist the temptation, and find myself ordering 1-2 sweet treats as well. Their pumpkin gingerbread mini bundt cake is yummy! read more

Super super happy about the meal I had yesterday and had to yelp it. Lentil Vegetable soup--fabulous. Very flavorful, did I detect some tumeric or curry? Whatever it was it was delish.
