Rude counter service and told they did not sell pancakes, yet they are on the menu 4 times

i visited this location on july 12. The eggs were horrible and tasted like powdered eggs. I got the tomato breakfast wrap and got sick from the meal shortly after. i had immediate stomach pain and didn't have any relief until i threw up a few hours later. i will never go back again. I don't recommend this place unless you want to be sick for the next 3 days. read more

Just not a good experience. Love these cafes in other places, but this one is a "no thank you," Ordered, and the young lady taking our order couldn't get the order correct. She was too concerned with what size coffee and drinks we were having. After I paid, I realized that the Anaheim Panini wasn't on our order, so I went up and spoke to someone who said he would take care of it, but never did. Finally, the line to order became less, and I went up and paid for the sandwich. Of course, the rest of the food came. Cold French toast with no "cinnamon roll" flavor. The scramble was ok, but the potatoes were mushy and flavorless. When the panini arrived, I just couldn't believe it. It was barely toasted, and contained less than one scrambled egg, no discernible bacon, and just seemed like no one cared about the good quality. Needless to say, we won't be going back for the remaining days of our trip. Steer clear of this place. Others are much better! read more

Stopped here for breakfast around 10:45am and they said no longer serving breakfast. Staff was kinda rude about it and had an attitude towards us. Other than that the food i got was very good! read more

It was my first time here and from the outside it looked really nice and clean. The staff is ok, nothing out of the ordinary. It is fairly cheap but the food is disappointing. We tried to order an avocado bowl and they said they didn't have avocado, we tried to order their passion fruit lemonade and they didn't have that either. I ended up ordering the all American breakfast and my family ordered pancakes. My breakfast was plain and not even hot. It came with eggs, bacon, and toast. The eggs were terrible and had no flavor, the bacon was alright, it was warm, the toast wasn't even toasted. The pancakes did taste really good though. One weird thing was the syrup, it was almost the consistency of water. Overall I'd give it a 6.5/10 and I would not come here again. I was really expecting something delicious, clean, and different read more

They totally messed up our order, even after repeating it back to me, and left off my sandwich completely. Service was terribly slow. And, my wife's soup was COLD, not luke warm, COLD; but they were kind in enough to nuke it for her with no questions asked. read more

Let's start by saying how rude the girl at the register was! She has no manners and should be out in the back so where where she won't have to deal with people. She thinks her attitude is cute. Now the food! Nasty undercooked french toast! The Anaheim panini was mostly bread and there was barely any egg and for sure mo bacon in it! The American scrambler was tasteless. The eggs and potatoes had no flavor. Lucky the bacon doesn't need much attention when cooking it so it was good but I tell you if they could take the flavor off the toast they would! read more

So this Corner Bakery is just ok. It's not what it used to be...had been coming for years, but I really think they need a complete re-vamp!!!Recently, I grabbed lunch here since I had a coupon (2 half entrees $6.99) - not bad, but I was disappointed. So the young lady behind the counter seemed annoyed that I had a coupon...anyway, she took it but still rang me up at the regular price. I quickly reminded her about the coupon and she "apologized" and rang me up for the discounted price. Still more attitude!!! I ordered the roast beef sandwich (first time) and the chicken pesto pasta (which I've had numerous times). I got back to my office ready to enjoy my delicious lunch, but did not get that satisfaction. The pasta was cold (mind you, my office is about a 5 minute walk) and the bread for the sandwich didn't taste fresh at all...sigh! Didn't enjoy either. I will not be in a hurry to eat at this location... read more

Trying to be Panera... but worse. The chicken soup barely had anything in it. The chicken pesto sandwich was meh (the pesto was nonexistent). The saving grace to this meal was the Anaheim panini. If you need something in a pinch, sure, but you can do a lot better. read more

This place was not the highlight of my trip. I came here because I was hungry, and wanted some food, first off there was very few staff, Second off the atmosphere of this place was not the best, It was not the best seating options. Anyway, I ordered a turkey sandwich, on a French baguette, and they gave me a turkey sandwich that had chopped up turkey bits, and was not on a French baguette, it was on only god knows what type of bread. Anyway, I think they were trying to close, so it is not all there fault, I just think they could improve on the staff, and ordering situation. read more

I walked in on NYD. There were 6 customers and at least 4 employees, including one behind the coffee bar. I ordered a latte. I waited 20 minutes and left. There's a Starbucks at the end of the block, go there instead. read more

Just Terrible! Bad Service, bad management, bad online order experience with terrible food and drink experience. Soooooo slow it took 45 mins to get my online order 35 mins after it was promised. Manager with a beard tried to be nice and realized nobody was getting my online order ready so he said he would take care of it. My order came out late in waves as he forgot 2 items. Meanwhile other customers were complaining and he just got overwhelmed forgetting about me. My croissant with bacon and egg was cold, under cooked bacon and no joke, but half of the croissant was missing! One of our coffees a vanilla latte was not even half full and had no taste like they forgot the vanilla. I asked an employee there for sugar 2 times because their tray of white packets was empty. First time he was polite and said sure I'll get it. 20 mins later I asked again then he said yea yeah with attitude saying I'll get it, but never did. The food that passed by me like 10 times coming out of the kitchen looked delicious but my online order sucked. Sorry I wouldn't suggest this place. read more

It's a convenient place to pick up some quick grub near the various parks near the WH and across from the Reagan center, so good if you need to frequent these areas. The choices are ok, but often times they are out of things like avocados, or sour dough or some other (major) ingredient, which might be due to supply chain issues. The portions are somewhat small, which can be an advantage if you need to carry away, which often times is the case. The food tastes are meh, but not bad. In the end, it's a convenient yet not stellar place, but close to many business and attractions similar to the adjacent hotel, viz. the JW Marriott. read more

Super fast, not heavy traffic, clean establishment. The coffee was great, friendly customer service.

The total of my meal came out to roughly $11.00. The cheese & sun-dried tomatoes made it very tasty! Overall, a great place to have breakfast. read more

While the food was okay, the service and cleanliness of the restaurant needs some serious work. 80% - 90% of the tables were dirty and half the tables were not open. Most of the staff seemed mad or unhappy. Will not be back tomorrow.... read more

Gotta day we loved this place. For real. Staying around the corner. Visiting DC. Had a wonderful breakfast w fam of 4. Kids loved their extra chocolaty chocolate milk ;) see pic. They shared bananas foster French toast w eggs and bacon. Hubby had a cinnamon roll. Warmed. Was wonderful- like a hunny bun. Could have used a touch more frosting but still really yummy. Coffee-perfect way to start our morning. Service was sweet and genuine and fast but not rushed. We were there as first time guests- had a very positive experience and would recommend and return if in the area. read more

I ordered a small cobb salad. It took forever to arrive. When it did, on my plate, beside the salad there were two round brown balls, a bit smaller than golf balls. Looking closer it turned out they were congealed balls of bacon bits held together by fat. Needless to say I didn't eat them, but seriously, what were they thinking? Surely no one ever would want to eat that? Utterly gross. read more

visited DC for a few days and even though they didn't have great reviews, I went in for coffee and breakfast. 1. Ordered a black iced coffee and an iced coffee with milk. Received two iced coffees with milk 2. ordered a croissant with butter. received a croissant with no butter 3. ordered a bagel with cream cheese. received a bagel and a Philadelphia cream cheese packet that you put on yourself. staff was not the friendliest group and seemed indifferent to anything going on around them. would NOT recommend. read more

Do I have to say more than this photo? Nearly $30 for two "paninis" that didn't have cheese because they were out, one tomato, 2 little pieces of meat, PAPER PLATES, and off-tasting Caesar salad that was also served on top of my meal. Also the bread was soggy and the sauce was placed in a 1 cm diameter circle on one side of the bread and tasted purely like sugar and red pepper. Goodbye. read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. It really pains to give 1 stars & the only reason I gave this visit 1 star was due to Delonte, the server of food as he was very friendly & accommodating. However, before we reached his service, Maria one of the counter employees taking the orders was as rude as can be. She shall be extra grateful I am in Lent season. It was a quick order of two Soups, so not sure why the attitude when we had to wait for her stop laughing with her co-workers like we were invisible...me, invisible? Once she decided to take my order with such attitude, she then asked in a very sassy demeanor if I wanted my receipt, I stated yes & she dropped it on the counter...LENT SEASON MK, LENT SEASON. I walked away with my table number & started to meditate to myself. I saw how whom seemed to be the Manager or General Manager was not being user friendly to another customer, so I kept my mouth closed & kept it moving. The server Imani brought one of the soups out & placed it on the table behind us...what is wrong this location??? So once my soup came out, I asked Delonte to send over Imani, so my co-worker could inquire & address the soup placement on the wrong table. He came over, co-worker stated what she wanted & he said, "I didn't see a number, but just placed it down a few seconds ago so someone could get it". She was not having that, asked for a new one, as we both looked at the bowl that had spilled soup on the outside. & lo & behold, the same bowl was returned. Thankfulness to Delonte who made the issue better with a bowl of soup. Unfortunately, that won't cut it as neither one of us will never return to this location again. This location is used heavily as one of our preferred caterers, yet I digress & will not frequent solo. read more

Saturday morning, shouldn't be too busy right. And it wasn't. But took many minutes to take an order for 1 person. After every three or four orders the clerk disappeared in the back for a few minutes. So finally my turn and I order a commuter croissant, no changes. After 2-3 minutes it is brought to my table, cool in parts, warm in parts, cheese and tomato still cold. Croissant not stale but not fresh. read more

Located across the street from the Willard Hotel, it was our go to place for breakfast. Very convenient to the hotel and offered a variety of items at a reasonable price. Service was prompt and friendly. Place your order at the counter and the main items are delivered to your table. Refreshments are self service. My favorites were Breakfast Power Flat with scrambled eggs, avocado and spinach and Fresh Yogurt & Berry Parfait with crunchy granola, low-fat vanilla yogurt and seasonal berries. In season now are blueberries and strawberries. read more

We are out of town visiting for a conference. We wanted to see the sights and have a little breakfast. Corner bakery was amazing value and we had the best experience with Edgar. His staff was equally as friendly and kind. They had free accessible water cups and I had no problem having a service animal here. The staff was so respectful. The potatoes are also DELISH.

Staff need to wash their hands when returning from breaks. I witnessed a young man on a break, use his phone, and return to the line to help with prepping to go food. I find more and more that the art of food service management gets "lost in the sauce," so to speak. Food was good but they should learn some lessons from Wawa on portions. read more

This place can be hit or miss in terms of crowds at lunch time. I've been there when seating is no problem and other times when I'm wandering around the place looking for an empty table. The asian chicken salad is pretty good and the tomato/mozzarella sandwich & tomato basil soup combo isn't bad either. I've had the turkey sandwich but they seem to use cheap cold cuts rather than "real" turkey so for a turkey sandwich go to Phillips a block over instead. read more

The worst. My husband and I were in the area to get his watch repaired by the jeweler store just across the street. While we waited, we decided to stop in for a quick lunch. I ordered a spinach sweet crisp salad with chicken, and dressing on the side. I had to send back my order twice - first time- my salad was drenched in its dressing, second time - there was no chicken. After spending nearly 30 minutes just to get my order "right", I noticed the strawberries were rotten. And into the trash my lunch goes... In addition, the cashier did not know the menu well. She told me the chicken would cost addition 50 cents extra. When she learned her mistake in pricing, she did not know how to correct or remove it from the system. As if those two strikes weren't enough, I find it extremely unsanitary that the cleaner would wheel a cart full of dirty dishes and trash around the sit down area to clear the table. There was a cart full of trash stationed next to me my face for a good 10 minutes while I waited for my food. The whole experience was a nightmare. Never again. read more

I can never decide what I want when I enter the door. I've tried soups, salads, Panini's and sandwiches My go to meal here, hands down, has got to be the scrambler with bacon. Did you know that they served BREAKFAST ALL DAY?? I've known that for years and NOW you do too. One thing to know - if you order breakfast after the POSTED breakfast hours you will get FRUIT with your meal instead of those delicious potatoes. I don't understand why it's so hard to warm up some potatoes. Any who. The desserts are to die for but a bit overpriced AND depending on who is cutting the cake that day - you might end up with a huge hunk OR a small smidge. read more

Service was shockly poor in our nation's capital! If this is type of service international visitors experience, it is a very poor representation of America. Shame on you, Corner Bakery@14th St in Washington, D.C.! We are visiting DC to see the cherry trees bloom and stop at the Corner Bakery (14th St) for coffee and a sweet treat. There was no greeting, no pleasant "hello", no "can I help you"...nothing! So I gave my order to go, asked for a bag, and was thrown a bag to do my own bagging. I hope the owners/corporate leaders go under cover, make their own assessment, and roll out customer care improvement training program. Very sad to see and experience such crude behavior. read more

Corner Bakery is not what it used to be. The portions are much smaller and prices higher which is not shocking these days however, the quality and preparation is also terrible. Everything feels throw together and often parts of my order are missing. Their menu is not the same considering years ago when they first opened at this location. read more

Bottom Line: Typical Corner Bakery Cafe that is actually on a corner and open on Sundays. What I like about this Corner Bakery Cafe is that it is open on a Sunday when other eateries in this part of town are not. I've always appreciated this chain because it's an equally good place for a soda, a coffee, a snack, a healthy meal or a hearty meal. This particular location is close to many businesses and several hotels and occupies a ground level corner of The National Press building. read more
