[[HIGHLIGHT]]First time at this location and it was much larger and spacious than other ones I've been to.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We love their Chicken Carbonara pasta. Comes with a creamy, carbonara sauce, chicken, bacon and peas with a side of garlic bread. Their cookies and pastries are good as well. Cashier was so friendly and welcoming. Appreciate the great customer service. read more

This rating is based purely on today's sandwich. 7/29/2026 So I used to go here for the tomato mozzarella sandwich on a ciabatta roll. Excellent, then one day they switched breads and it tasted gross. Chewy, etc. So I gave it a literal two year break. Today I really wanted a tomato mozzarella sandwich and thought it's been two years, I'll give it a go. I didn't quite trust the ciabatta roll to have improved but noticed they had added Dutch Crunch rolls to their variety of breads so I chose that. Not at all shocked after the sandwiches started going downhill, it tasted completely gross. That wasn't a Dutch Crunch roll. It was soft, mushy bread and tasted like salt and pepper. The best thing about my order were the bagged kettle chips and they're from Lays. I'll never eat here again. Waste of $16. Go to The Dutch Sandwich Shop if you want a REALLY good sandwich. read more

Always loved Corner Bakery. The one closest to my home closed so I traveled to the city to get lunch at the Corner Bakery Cafe. The service and food were great as always and ambiance was very inviting. My order was to go as I picked up lunch to eat at work. No issues with the order and everything was delicious. Will definitely be back. read more

It was my first time trying this place. It looks bigger from the inside than from the outside. We wanted to try something new in Temecula so we gave corner Bakery a try!... Pick 2 DEAL... SHRIMP SCAMPI PASTA: 9/10 The flavor was all there! Nice and buttery but, we wanted more so wish the portion was bigger... CAVATAPPI MARINARA: 8/10 I felt like I was eating cafeteria food. I added some Tabasco and asked for my hubby's scampi sauce and then some salt and pepper. Suddenly I enhanced it and made it more enjoyable... Came with a side so we picked the MIXED GREEN SALAD... That was good... OVERALL: SERVICE was great. We were greeted and welcomed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Food and ambiance reminded me of an old cafe or cafeteria...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] KEEP TRYING CORNER BAKERY CAFE!!!!! read more

For goodness Bakes!!!! This bakery bakes a world a butter place YUMMY!! I had the wonderful over sized chocolate chip cookie it was soft as cotton, melts in your mouth, and perfectly balanced sweetness. I also tried the chocolate bundt cake. The chocolate is the icing on the cake. So decadent, creamy, slippery and scrumptious. Go ahead bake my day anytime. The service was amazing. I was greeted right away, I had a few laughs, and was invited back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is bakery but feels a little bit like a cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Besides baked goods there are other selections to choose from. Soup, salad, and sandwiches. This is how we roll. Don't be a sourdough, crumb and get it read more

My wife wanted to go try a place we'ved never eaten at in Temecula for lunch and so we drove past by Corner Bakery Cafe. We got the pick 2 for $16 deal. Wife got marinara cavatappi and I got Shrimp Scampi pasta - 5/5 really good for the price! Salad was fresh and everything looked clean. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was like a cafeteria for adults and on the old fashion side.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service 4/5 friendly and fast. Plenty of parking. read more

6/20/26 Went this morning for breakfast and was served COLD FOOD.YES, I took it back and the cook looked as if what do want me to do. She offered to remake it at first I said yes, then I thought about it and said NOPE!. Just give me a refund. It so sad with increased prices the quality is TERRIBLE. It's was Less than 15 people in the restaurant there was no reason for the service to be that poor. I've visited other Corner Bakery it's just the Temecula location need help. Corporate really needs to visit and make some changes. To answer your question- What needs to improve all of the above! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We entered to an empty restaurant on Friday; June 5th at approximately 6:15pm. Not only were there no customers on a busy Friday night at 6:00pm, but there wasn't a single employee at the counter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We could t see anyone in the back either and after 5 minutes of waiting; I began to get concerned and yelled hello. No one answered back after at least another 5 minute wait and multiple times of calling out. At this point we were very concerned there was a seemingly empty restaurant and like I said it was a very busy Friday night. All the surrounding restaurants had long lines of people. We had noticed a police officer sitting outside and just as I was about to go advise him; a male voice yelled out but not to us. He did not even address us. He yelled for a few minutes himself and no one was answering him. Finally after being in the restaurant for an EXTREMELY long time; a lady enters. She does not greet us or apologize; nothing. She was not wearing a name tag, but the receipt said Sarah W. and she looked very disheveled with her hair all stringy and hanging down. I asked what was going on back there because we were about to go ask the police officer out front to come in to see if all was ok. She was super nasty and rude to us; snappy that her co-worker was working on something in the back. My question was why wasn't any of the three employees we did eventually see come to the counter when they heard us yelling. It was just extremely awkward and as a former Mystery Shopper this was as bad as I've ever seen. Now as a business owner I have to say she's an awful representation of this company and I've never once said I thought someone should be laid off or fired, but she should be. Now we understand why this place is deserted. It USED to be my husband's favorite place, but we will never set foot in here again. Seeing how nasty she was to me and listening to how she was whispering to a female co-worker as I stood off getting my drink; I didn't feel comfortable eating the food. We flushed $33.67 down the drain. read more

I had an horrible experience today at this location. To begin with, I was met with Kellie C. who had an awful attitude as a cashier and clearly did not care to hinder this cafe's reputation. I assume that Kellie might not enjoy her job, but this should not be projected onto customers. Further, the sandwiches that were served were cold and poorly prepared and not worth it. I will unfortunately never return in the future and recommend everyone to stay away from this place. read more

The people are very friendly and accommodating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, I feel whoever owns the cafe should invest in some new things to spice up the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would also like to see some new things on the menu. The chef is great, and the food is good. A little more attention to making sure the food is hot when you get it. Love this place all in all. read more

I ordered my food through DoorDash, and picked it up in the store. The food was ready in less than 10 minutes so I was able to pick it up and go! No waiting necessary. I love the shrimp scampi, it was delicious and there were plenty of shrimps. [[HIGHLIGHT]]First time I went to the Temecula store and noticed they have a lot of empty seats but it felt cozy and looks comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Maybe next time I'll try for a dining experience. read more

Worst, over priced sandwich ever made! Sprouts makes a much better and bigger sandwich for half the price. We went in at 2:30 pm to get chicken carbonara...but they said it was unavailable because they ran out of sauce. Instead we ordered a Mac n cheese and a BLT and a turkey sandwich. The Mac had barely any cheese sauce. We had to go back and purchase a real Mac n cheese from Karl Straus next door. The BLT was a total embarrassment. It was on a tiny sliced, over toasted, piece of bread not even the size of my hand (I'm a woman). The bacon was so over cooked it was brittle to the touch. One slice of lettuce and one slice of tomato. .. they charged $13 for this worthless sandwich. The Turkey wasn't much better. We will never go there again. read more

From bad to worse. Food was cold no flavor. Pancakes were ok. That's my one star. /////

There's an ad for 6.99$ any two items. Turned out it's only after 4pm. The ad didn't state as such. False advertisement. Beware!

This place went from our favorite place, to our least favorite place. We hadn't feel there for about 6 months and after we ordered and walked into the dining section, we were shocked. It was disgusting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Over 1/2 the tables still had dirty plates in them and the table we chose by the window had not been wiped down. The floors were disgusting with crumbs all over and tiny pieces of food smashed into the floor. It looked like they hadn't washed the floor in weeks[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were only about 5 tables occupied. There was no one in line when we came in, nor after we ordered, so they were not busy and could have easily had the tables cleaned and wiped[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. My husband took a napkin to wipe off the crumps and wet spots and the napkin ripped and stuck to table where there was sticky stuff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Oh! I forgot to tell you, that on the way to our table, my husband saw a cockroach on the floor. When he went back and told the counter girl, she just said, "ok, thank you", and didn't even ask him where it was[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. He came back to me and said she didn't even seem interested, so I told him to go take a photo of it and we need to report this. As he was taking a photo of the cockroach, the girl walked up and swept it into the dustpan. He told her about all the dirty tables and she said they were understaffed and left with the cockroach. A little while later, she came back and cleaned 1 table near us. That was the only time, while we were there, that we saw anyone clean anything. My husband ordered the chicken pomodori panini and when it came, it looked like 2 pieces of toast with nothing in it. It was a joke, as it looked like the cook took leftover remnants, of each ingredient, from eaten food and put it in his sandwich, and my Chicken Rosa pasta was not at all like the description. The top was covered with toasted breadcrumbs, so you couldn't see the ingredients and when I mixed it up, I saw that I did not get cavatappi pasta. It was thick spaghetti or linguini (which I do not like) and no spinach, nor Parmesan on top. It didn't look appetizing at all. We decided to give everything back and ask for a refund. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we went for our refund, we walked around a drink spill that was about 4 feet long with a yellow Wet Floor sign in the middle of it. It was still there after we got our refund and were leaving. Honestly, it wouldn't take much more time to mop it up, instead of placing a sign in the middle of it[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. There were 2 girls standing at the counter, so we went to one and asked for a refund. We showed her the sandwich and the pasta and nicely asked her why we were served these. The other girl came over, and the girl we were talking to, showed her the items and told her to ask the cook why he did this. We could see the cook just standing in the kitchen looking at us. They agreed on the refund and one girl gave us our refund, and her only response about everything, even the cook messing up, was that they were short handed. We told her that if the cook was behind, we would understand waiting longer, but serving us food like my husband's panini or my dish having wrong AND missing ingredients is confusing. (I wondered if we were served this because we complained about the cockroach and the dirty condition of the restaurant, but didn't say so.) We went to give her our drinks back, and she said we could keep them. We thanked her for that, and went next door with the drinks to Chipotle. We had a great meal there and they did not mind us bringing in our drinks from the Corner Bakery. read more

We ordered two cups of soup and a muffin and two drinks. Easy order right? They didn't even make the cup of soup which was right there in their counter or even bothered until we came up the counter like 15 mins after we've been waiting. This place is terrible. Don't come here. Let this place go out of business. read more

OK, the bakery selection looked amazing but we decided to try a more substantial breakfast instead. I had the bacon croissant sandwich and my gentleman friend had the veggie scramble with diced potatoes on the side. My sandwich was pretty good and so was his scramble...the problem was with the diced potatoes. They were cold completely through and tasted like they were still partially frozen. Front staff wasn't too concerned about it and offered canned fruit or oatmeal instead. The gal behind the register couldn't put a complete sentence together, second one was too busy with her phone to notice customers and the third was at least making an attempt to provide some kind of service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is cute and well decorated but it won't overcome the dismal service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

First time here in along while. Disappointing today. Here's why: 1) prices several dollars more for breakfast items, which are not on the menu but available, so you don't know what it's going to cost up front. 2) coffee which is usually good was very bitter, undrinkable without cream and sugar, we drink it black. 3) service was slooow.. 4) my omelet plate was not warm enough. The potatoes were dry, cold and tasted like they'd been sitting out since morning (probably were since this was noon) 5) toast lacked butter 6) the Anaheim avocado omelet had way over ripe avocado and I didn't taste any Anaheim chilies. See picture. The redeeming meal was the pancakes. That's what we like best here. Always light and fluffy. They are offered all day. Next time we'll try sandwiches. read more

What happened to this location??? It really has gone downhill. Their individual rolls are ALWAYS stale, crumbly stale and taste awful. The club panini has been terrible the past few times I've been there - hardly any turkey, and either over-cooked or lukewarm. Who is the cook because they need more training. They don't sell snickerdoodles anymore either but that's not the biggest issue I have. I cannot pay $20 for a terrible half panini and stale piece of bread, half salad and basic drink. This place used to be so nice! Seriously can't eat here anymore, and the staff aren't even that friendly. Like what is there to justify the high prices anymore? Embarrassing for Corner Bakery :( read more

There's something special about the Corner Bakery, which the others cannot duplicate. Their food is always fresh, tasty and interestingly prepared. This location is no different than any of their other locations we've been to IL, WA, AZ and FL. It takes us back to our first experiences in the Midwest. Chicago restauranteur Rich Melman and his "Lettuce Entertain You" group created it. Our favorite is still his mother's old place in the Sears Tower Mrs Levy's, long since gone. But the food hasn't changed. It's still so much better than St Louis Bread Company, aka Panera. On our most recent visit, we tried their grilled Chicken Rosa pasta dish. It came with spinach, oven-roasted tomato, cavatappi pasta, and a pesto tomato cream sauce. We also tried their Italian Panini, which has smoked ham, pepperoni, provolone, pesto and served on grilled sourdough. Both were excellent, tasty and generous in size, see photos. Btw, their Hibiscus iced tea is the best. Enjoy! read more

It seems as though this place gets worse and worse at each visit. My husband and I picked up our lunch today. The chicken pesto sandwich was horrible. The bread was not fully baked, and the sandwich was horribly made. My husband had the shrimp scampi which lacked flavor and the garlic bread that we requested was an actual flatbread. It was a huge disappointment. I think this is our last time eating at this location. The service was OK and the ambience is usually hit and miss. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are times in which we have walked in and the tables are dirty with lots of trays plates and the cups remaining. Then there are other times in which the place is spotless. This time the place was clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms were clean and the drink station was clean and well stocked.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's is as though they need more staff.

I love sandwiches, soups and salad. Corner Bakery used to be one of my faves for such items, but lately it's just not hitting the mark. This location is drab and smells old. They seem understaffed, so I am always extra patient. My son loves the Club Panini(only reason I'm giving it a 3) and it's usually good, but my orders are a hit and miss. Today my Chopped Salad was such disappointment. I ordered it with no blue cheese and they put it the blue cheese, realized I ordered it without and just kind of scooped most of it out. Ughh so not cool. They also didn't add the green onions and it's only like 4 ingredients without them. I had already waited over minutes for my food so I just shared my concern gently and left. I was bummed. Once home I picked out what I could of the blue cheese and tossed my salad in a bowl. The lettuce was so pale, old and unappealing. I need a new soup and salad spot. read more

This review will be simple and short. Best pancakes ever!!!! This has been our secret for awhile now, but we want to make sure Corner Bakery stays in business for a long long time and while we love the other places too...the price point, quantity and QUALITY is beyond comparable. It has the texture, flavor, mouthwatering goodness that makes us keep going back for more. This is our favorite pancake. Mic Drop. read more

Just going to put it out here, Corner Bakery Cafe is better than Panera. I say this just because the portions are bigger, presentation is a little nicer, and the quality seems to be better. I always order the pick 2 and it will usually be either the Uptown Turkey Avocado sandwich, which is pretty meaty and nicely put together. Or the Chicken Carbonara, which I can usually take this home for leftovers cause they put a lot. But I'll always get the beautiful and delicious Harvest Salad minus the blue cheese since me no likey. For their bakery goods, I've only had a seasonal Reese's peanut butter chocolate cake once and it was heavenly. I've never been here for breakfast so I couldn't tell you how that is but for lunch and dinner it's a win for me :) read more

We had a special needs connect group came here recently and that was how I got to try this place. I ordered an egg bowl with bacon and avocado with very little spinach (I think). It almost looked like the spinach was placed in there by accident. The taste of this egg bowl was an ok. The portion was small. $10 something for this bowl. I also ordered the power egg bowl with lots of spinach, chickpeas and a lot of other stuff I couldn't name. It was a great way to eat my veggies. I would order this one again. $11 something for this. I also had their coffee two kinds and they were yummy coffee. Overall, a nice experience. read more

I was so disappointed on my last visit to the corner bakery which has always been one of my favorite lunchtime venues. My mother-in-law was with me who is 91 years old. She was with a walker and so I said to the person at the counter I am going to get her seated and I'll be right back to order. After that I went back and ordered our lunch which was soup and salad and a grilled cheese sandwich two drinks and I paid my bill. As everything else in the world right now I was shocked at the price. When I went back to ask if there is a senior discount as I am no spring chicken either the gal at the front said yes but you have to ask for it when you order your food. She clearly watched me walk this elderly beautiful woman to the table. And she said I'm sorry unless you ask for it we can't just assume that someone is a senior. But there is no signs that say please ask for a senior discount. So I asked for the manager and I waited 45 minutes and the manager never came to speak to me. So I went back to the window she went back to tell the manager again I waited 10 more minutes and they never came out . That is AWFUL service and not kind. The sandwiches were good. But the experience ruined the taste. read more

I go here often so I was very disappointed in my Sandwich and my salad. I got the Cobb and Turkey avocado sandwich and I asked for baguette. I received my order and by the time I looked at it when I got home (18 mins away) I realized my bread was toasted very hard and cracked when I tried to bite it. My salad greens were wilted and they out the biggest chunks of avocado on my salad. Please do bette with the bread and greens, everything cost a lot so at least make it worth it! read more

I love Corner Bakery--their pasta is excellent. However, I will not be ordering from them for a long time. I've made a habit of ordering lunch from them via DoorDash. I always scheduled my order in the morning to ensure my lunch was on time. However, multiple times, the restaurant did not start processing my order until it was past the scheduled delivery time. I know this isn't an issue on DoorDash's end. Today, they did the same and canceled my order. I had a rush order from somewhere else. I love eating here, but their service when it comes to delivery is highly unreliable, so I'm definitely taking a break. read more

Working in the food industry is hard. There are many elements to balance and therefore I am compassionate toward anyone who does it. However, customer service is a must regardless of how you wake up and how you feel. My experience with Sarah, the employee taking my order was anything but good customer service. I get it, it's 8am but the customer shouldn't be brushed off and they should be treated as a customer who is being serviced by a restaurant who pays their bills. Sarah needs to be reminded that her attitude at work does impact and reflect on the company. ​ read more
