I'm a big fan of Corner Bakery after I get a medical procedure from nearby Penn Medicine. The bakery items are always delicious, especially the bundt cakes, and everything seems competitively priced. The Chunky Monkey bundt cake was the limited time special and well worth the $3.99 price. I'm pretty sure not many of the baked goods are made in-house, so that explains why everything looks a little too perfect. I preferred the old tell-the-cashier-what-you-want method, but I understand why the kiosk system was put in place. This shop can get crowded! That should be a hint to how good the food is. read more

In full disclosure- this was for a grub hub delivery. My order was for the pick 2 sandwich and pasta. I also ordered a small espresso latte. When my order arrived I was surprised that my latte was not filled. There was a seal over top to prevent any one else from drinking it. The sandwich I ordered was very mushy and I wound throwing it away. The pasta I ordered was prepared wrong and appears to be for a different menu item. It was really disappointing & I wouldnt order again. I wish there was something I liked. read more

Came here at 8:30am between doctors appointment. Got the Anaheim panini and was really unimpressed. It was greasy and not filling. Barely anything in it. The music playing over the loud speaker is too loud. The only thing nice about this visit was the lady working the tables. Don't expect to come here for a conversation because the music is too loud. read more

I have eaten at this Corner Bakery on several occasions. It is always clean and well lit. The food is always prepared well and very tasty. Today, I had the avocado breakfast wrap, which had, in addition, scrambled eggs and vegetables.. The Berry and Almond Overnight Oats is excellent, as I can tell you from experience. The staff goes out of their way to be friendly and helpful. Their assistance is given when necessary-even before it is requested. They are gracious hosts. You receive value for your money here. read more

The potatoes and the tasteless panini were cold! Why make a pretence of bringing food to the table- the server brought out only half the order! The bakery might be better off just calling out the number or texting the customer since one has to enter the number during the self order process anyway. read more

Not sure if it's a staffing issue or just a need for a better system at food service, but not satisfied with how things were ran.

We stopped here after a doctor appointment. It was ok. It is a small cafe with traditional fare and coffee. Cute set up, and staff was kind.

very good ice coffee! quick service considering the place was mobbed with a line out of the door. very cute building. parking is confusing if you're not aware of the one way streets. 2/5 stars for the bagel - i got an everything bagel with plain cream cheese, it was basically a thomas's bagel from a bag. the cream cheese was good though. read more

If you're gonna pull drawers at 330 then maybe close at 330. Also makes no sense to have kiosk that don't allow purchases after 330.

Great place to grab lunch, if you want something yummy and not too pricey in the middle of the work day/week. Got the BBLT and it has the perfect amount of bacon. Love the space - very old school diner meets cafe meets restaurant. I believe they changed their plates to paper during the pandemic, which makes the presentation a little lackluster, but they had nice folks behind the counter (this time I came). They were helpful and ultimately I was satisfied with my visit. Is this a 5 star meal, no. Is it going to be my main lunch place? Unlikely. BUT will I be satisfied after eating my meal and will I enjoy the short time I spend in here, yes! read more

Right in the same building as my job-can't get more conscientious than that! Very polite employees always helpful as these are the very first few times I've eaten here. I've gotten a salad, potato soup and Alfredo which were all very tasty. Definitely coming back. read more

I decided today I'm done with this place. Menu is all right and environment is ok. However I feel that they are deceiving their customers: despite stickers everywhere on every door claiming that there is "Free WiFi" available, the "Corner Bakery" Wi-Fi network never works. No gateway. I told workers and managers several times over several months. Every time I happened to dine there. Possibly more than a year. I don't think that businesses must have a free WiFi. If you want to save few bucks on you monthly costs it's your choice, but I believe that keeping turned on a fake wifi and keep showing the free wifi stickers is dishonest when you know that it's not functioning and you know you will never fix it. read more

I had coffee here this morning. Very pleasant service and excellent coffee. Food looks good so I may return.

Have you ever looked at food and asked yourself, is this going to kill me or give me massive food poisoning? The picture says all that needs to be said. I ordered the Anaheim breakfast sandwich--having gone to Corner Bakeries elsewhere, this is just criminal. Whoever made this just gave up on serving food. The avocado was inedible and this is just sad. Perhaps my mistake was doing take-out, because if I was eating in, it would be clear that this was unacceptable. Save your bucks and check out another franchise that gives a shit. They clearly don't. read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - Very disappointing - Cafes Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Philly's newest location has everything you could hope for in a Corner Bakery. It's got a great, modern interior in which to relax and enjoy a meal, or come to chill and study (as I'm sure happens alot, being in the Drexel/UPenn corridor). Speaking of which - the people-energy level is high here, with the sprawling University environment. I stopped here for the pancakes eggs & bacon breakfast, and it just couldn't have been better: cooked properly, tasted deelish, and it filled both my plate and my tummy! Mind you - pancakes are NOT available at all Corner Bakery locations, but THIS location has them, so it gets the gold star in my book! Another gold star goes to Corner Bakery Cafe for being a fast-casual kind of place, so costs remain on the lower side of the spectrum, and you can grab your own drinks from the soda, tea, or coffee machines. Why people want to go to those little hole-in-the-wall diners that overcharge you for everything, is beyond me. The staff were all so welcoming and were on top of the cleanliness factor. This may just be my favorite Corner Bakery in the region. read more

First I find a battery in my salad and now I find a hair in my sandwich. That is the last straw. I'm never going back. This place is Nasty!!

Dont even waste your time going to this location. I've given them 4 tries and each time IT was a disaster. Last time was today, sandwich has everything that I requested NOT to put on..I sent it back and the Panini came back with a crumb slice of turkey and little to no cheese. I paid 9.00 for bread. The manager said.. what's wrong with the sandwich? .its all bread!!!!!! After sending it back once before. Manager did not care, most dont at that location...I'm done, my money will go elsewhere.DONT WASTE YOUR TIME! read more

Catering!!!!! My boss sent an SOS to the team requesting last minute catering for a same day meeting. I called the Corner Bakery catering team and they came through with style. I ordered the medium assorted sandwich basket, medium Caesar salad )croutons and dressing on the side) a medium assorted cookie platter, chips and assorted beverages. All came as ordered, fresh, on time and service was with a smile. Everyone enjoyed the food and my boss was happy with how smoothly it all worked. So if you're looking for catering by the nicest people, good quality food and really awesome service call Erica and team at Corner Bakery- you won't be disappointed Also they make the best in-house Caesar dressing it's crave-worthy ! read more

I came here for lunch and got the Shrimp Scampi Linguine. I honestly make better shrimp scampi at home but this wasn't the worst I've had. There was a good amount of shrimp and the portion was large but it just tasted so bland. I wouldn't come here again for lunch but the staff were very friendly and the meal came out fast. The garlic bread that came with the meal was pretty good though. read more

I can't believe I'm writing this review because I genuinely love this store but I gotta let people know about this. Just to preface, I gain absolutely nothing from lying about this and I actually plan to continue buying food from here despite this event taking place. I'm just a college student looking for good places to eat for cheap. I ordered the pancake bundle (four pancakes, chicken sausage, and scrambled eggs) and immediately when I received my delivery (through Doordash) I opened my pancake container and saw there was a piece of pancake taken out of one of them in the stack. At first I thought maybe it accidentally got ripped during packing but no, upon closure inspection you can see bumps extremely similar to teeth marks-- someone took a bite out of my pancake. I ripped a piece of pancake off myself (second picture) to compare what they would look like and a simple rip would be a lot more clean compared to a rip made with teeth. My scrambled eggs and chicken sausage were perfectly fine and tasted normal but I went ahead and contacted DoorDash directly for compensation. I got a free replacement order as well as a $5 DoorDash credit but at the end of the day, who was to blame; my DoorDash deliverer or an employee at Corner Bakery? My packaging was so tight and neat and there were no signs of tampering so I really don't know. Either way please be careful! read more

Save your money if you are using their catering! My boss is out and decided to send the office a treat. She sent the Fruit and Sweets Basket for 11-12 and orange juice. They charged $10 for orange juice we could have picked up from the market for $3. The fruit bowl was very small and would not have fed 11-15 people. And the cookies were just thrown into the box. They charged $25 to deliver and it was 2 blocks away! Unbelievable. I took a picture of this and sent it to my boss. I didn't want to tell her that she got ripped off so I'm writing this review. We all appreciated very much that she did this, but we don't appreciate that took advantage of her. There also were no pictures of what you are ordering. Only a few items have pictures. My coworkers and I feel that someone had to write a review. Very poor. read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - bowl was only half full and this cost $79.00 - Cafes Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I have been in this location several times the food is mediocre at best , it just happens to be in a convenient location but many people that are in the area right next-door to this refuse to go in this place and now I see why after I told my story to them, they told me why they won't go there. The staff and the on-site manager is absolutely rude Most of the people would rather go to the other restaurant half a block away or to the multiple food cards in the area rather than eat from this place overpriced mediocre food and rude staff. read more

This review is for Delivery food only. I had an Anaheim scrambler (with egg whites) with breakfast potatoes. It was not good. Scrambler was overcooked and flavorless. Avocado was wilted and sad. Toast was meh; I didn't really want to eat it so I fed it to pigeons -- they liked it fine. Your mileage may vary. The takeout packaging was spacious. The scrambler & potatoes were in a flat round plastic container that was much larger than the food inside. read more

A family favorite for years now- I love getting meals to go from corner bakery when I'm feeling homesick or just in need for some comfort food. My favorite orders are the chicken pomodori panini, club panini, chicken soup, mac n cheese, and big al's chili! Ordering is super convenient- I order online or via the mobile app. The staff is very attentive when I pick up and they also give me the extra pickle I ask for! read more

Walked by a million times but never went, but finally walked in this past week for lunch. Pros: Bread was good. They took my order quickly Cons: Not enough seating in a location that obviously will get busy at lunch time Cashier was not friendly, and also didn't tell me how to get my food/give me a number for my tablet. Never got my soup until I went and asked someone where my soup was...even after that it was confusing as to whether they wanted me to go to the kitchen to get it or if the server person would bring it out. So I just stood around for a while while he aimlessly walked around. Finally I sat down and some random person brought me my soup. It shouldn't take 20min for me to get a cup of soup...and that small cup of soup also shouldn't cost as much. Don't go. Just go to one of the food trucks in the area if you need lunch. read more

Having a Corner Bakery at this location is LONG overdue. Between a hospital close by as well as a ton of university-affiliated buildings, the need for a lunch option other than the cafeteria or restaurants is a must. This corner bakery has outdoor seating as well as a decent amount of seating indoors. They had a soft opening and we tried lots of and lots of food. Breakfast winner: pancakes. Lunch winner: most of their sandwiches are their strongest game. However, the salad I had was so good: Spinach Sweet Crisp (spinach, grapes, oranges, dried cranberries, goat cheese...) so delicious! Dinner I tried the chicken carbonara which was just OK. They had other pasta options which were also just OK. I really think that lunch is their best option (with the sandwiches and the salads). The loaded baked potato soup was really really good. The best dessert we had was the chocolate bundt cake with icing. Not so good: the lemon bar. It was hard and tasted like lemon flavored flour. On the other hand, their cookies are really tasty as long as you don't look up the calories. Then it makes you sad to have the "is it worth it??" debate. Very glad to see you at this location, Corner Bakery. Best meal here is lunch! read more

Their food menu, quality of service, and seating arrangement is just like Panera Bread. If I have to pick between corner bakery and panera bread, I honestly don't know if I would pick one over another. They both are equally good to me. I love their cheddar broccoli soup, pesto cavatappi, and chicken carbonara. Pastas have the perfect amount of flavor with the sauce. Their entrees are very filling, I always have a lot of left over for their pastas. They also come with a side of garlic bread and depending on the day you go, their garlic bread is a hit or miss. I have had a very stale garlic bread at times. Service is excellent. read more

Corner Bakery is a well run chain, very similar to Panera Bread in store design and selection. The food is just ok, but it is consistent, quick, and relatively affordable. I grew up going to the Corner Bakery in Ardmore and I always enjoyed the atmosphere and food. Although there are far better restaurants in the area, Corner Bakery definitely delivers a solid relatively affordable lunch option. The limited table service concept, where you order up front and they bring the food to your table, is nice. This cafe is also very clean, spacious, and bright, with wall-to-ceiling windows. The outdoor seating is great as well. The food is nothing special, but serves as a good addition to the neighborhood. read more

Food and service were great but my meal was disrupted by a mouse walking over my feet!

I ordered a breakfast bowl with fruit water and cold brew with hazelnut cream. I loved the cold brew, honestly the best I've ever had! The food was delicious but I wish they gave a bit more food in their meals. Otherwise, I enjoyed it and I would probably go back again for lunch and more cold brew read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch today at Corner Bakery. I had the trio deal for just under ten bucks. I enjoyed the tomato soup it was very tasty with nice chunks of tomato and crunchy croutons. The Cesar salad was good, fresh lettuce and not too much dressing. The tuna salad was a nice size scoop and was seasoned well. read more
