    Traditional Eggs Benedict*
    Julia C.

    I hate to say this but for me, Corner Cafe used to be worthy of a 5-star bougie Brunch compliment, but my most recent visit last weekend pits it squarely at the 4-star category for me. This was because of a combination of ambiance, service, and food prep. I'll start at the bottom. We ordered the Eggs Benedict and the "poached eggs" on top were unfortunately cooked all the way through. We could have considered sending them back to re-assessment, but honestly our server came by so infrequently there was hardly an opportunity. Perhaps she had too many tables. On the food front, my only additional comment is that I think they microwaved the bacon. We asked for it to be extra crispy, and if came out like a (potentially) microwave-zapped saw dusted crumbly board. We also ordered the famous Chicken & Waffles, but having had many extraordinary chicken and waffles lately, I can say that these were solid. I'd order them again, however, to me, the waffle was no more special than an Aunt Jemima store-bought waffle. I'd love to see them revamp this classic dish. As alluded to throughout, the service was not very attentive and the overall spammed nature of the restaurant make the ambiance feel chaotic. I'll still come back, but I'd like to see them tighten the reigns here.

    Over 25 minutes to have 2 simple sandwiches served to us. I ordered my BLT with extra bacon for a $3 up charge and I could barely find 3 slices. Can't substitute the boring salad greens so if you want anything else there's another up charge. Love the atmosphere but service was absolutely terrible and food was mediocre.

    A starter basket of mini muffins, nice ambiance, friendly service, and a happy birthday pastry! Overall our experience was solid. The omelette, mango smoothie, French press coffee, and chicken and waffles were standouts. The crab Benedict, side of bacon, and fresh toast earned three stars, with some generosity added in. The crab Benedict was missing some flavor, the French toast was dry and did not have the promised white chocolate, and the bacon tasted almost like jerky (To be fair, our waitress did tell us, if the restaurant had a special it would be the chicken and waffles). Overall, we'd keep Corner Cafe on our list of quality brunches in Atlanta if not a "must visit".

    Food was incredibly mediocre and service was slow especially for the amount of people there. I did like the digitized payments and bill splitting that they have at every table. It's pricey for the amount of food and type of food that comes out. Wouldn't really recommend it.

    I love this restaurant because they make their own bread. They have one of the best croissants in town. If you want to have a good breakfast with the family this is your jam. The service was great and always efficient. The menu is small and very delicious. The restaurant is spacious and it has a lot of lighting. If you are in Buckhead and do not know where to go for lunch, this is your jam! The inly reason that I gave them 4 stars it is because of the presentation. The egg was broken and should have been caught by the chef before serving.

    It really makes a difference having a good manager here again! Yen, the manager make sure everyone extends great customer service and the food comes out on time I had stayed away from coming here because the service was poor and slow But once I learned they were gonna get good management again I'm returning again and again! I usually order their grilled cheese or they're special and always look forward love their complementary muffins

    I had high hopes but unfortunately the food did not live up to it. My arugula pear bartlett salad sounded good in theory but was delivered heavily dressed and wilted. The nutella latte tasted so sugary like a kid's chocolate milk with extra syrup, meanwhile I was expecting an actual latte. My sister said she enjoyed her grilled cheese and tomato soup. The service was sufficient and the ambience was fine. I also got a baguette bread to take home from the bakery and it was not it.

    CC "Cuban" Panini Sandwich & leek potato soup
    Marni M.

    Arriving on a Sunday just before 10 am, there was about a 15 minute wait for a table of 3. The cafe shares space with a bread company which was a perfect wait to feeds our eyes while we waited. Otherwise, you can also leave while you wait for the text message for the table. We started on their complimentary muffins in the flavors of banana bread and chocolate chip. They were a little dry and could have been better if served warm but it was still a sweet way to start the meal. I got their CC "Cuban" Panini Sandwich which was not my favorite Cuban I've had but it was still solid. The sandwich plus the leek potato soup was a great combination since the soup was so creamy and rich. My friend's Roasted Rosemary Lamb Sandwich was deliciously juice and flavorful. A simple improvement could have been toasting the bun first. My mom enjoyed her Jumbo Lump Crab Cake Benedict which was served on circular cut outs of plain bread, which were a little to small compared to using the traditional English muffins. Overall, I had a pleasant experience in this locally owned shop. The staff were kind from beginning to end and it was a comfortable and homey environment to be in. I wouldn't mind coming again to try more items from their menu but especially for the lamb burger.

    Great dining experience here. A pretty diverse menu with lots of breakfast options to choose from. On mornings you can expect a bit of a wait but nothing too crazy. Ordered the corned beef hash and it was amazing. Great texture and the two eggs on top were poached perfectly. Service was friendly and efficient.

    I can't believe I have lived here in Atlanta all this time and I have never been to this hidden jewel. I enjoyed a lovely brunch with wonderful service. Cassie was wonderful, thank you so much. I had the Banannas Foster Pancakes Delicious!! THE atmosphere was friendly and sunny and it was a great way to start my day! Now that I have discovered this gem, I will be back for sure.

    Cinnamon Donut Muffin

    The Corner Cafe, a member of the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, has been serving breakfast, brunch, and lunch along Piedmont Road since 1994. The Buckhead Bread Company is the on-site bakery producing over 60 styles of European-style breads and rolls as well as pastries. Walking in, you can see the long counter of croissants, danishes, muffins, scones, and buns. Corner Cafe offers four types of Eggs Benedict, sandwiches, soups, and specialty brunch items such as Avocado Egg Toast, "Nutella" Belgium Waffles, Scratch Corner Beef Hash, and "Bananas Foster" Buttermilk Pancakes. The Cafe is a bright, comfortable environment, and I love the classic European design of the front of the restaurant, with its wood tones, beams, and panelings. We received solid customer service. My husband and I arrived on a Sunday late morning and ordered the Lump Crab Cake Benedict and Pancakes with eggs and cheese grits. We grabbed a cheese pocket and a cinnamon donut muffin because we couldn't resist grabbing a few desserts to enjoy later. The crab cake was a bit salty, and I did not love the discs that served as the foundation for the benedict. However, the potatoes were crispy and flavorful. My husband's pancakes were a highlight, as they were fluffy and tasty even before syrup was added. The pastries were so good! The cheese pocket was so rich and flaky, and the sweet cheese was so smooth. We also loved the muffin, which really tasted like a cake donut rolled in cinnamon and sugar. I also recommend not passing up on their coffee offerings, especially the French press service. I would love to return to explore more of those sinful pastries and to try some of their lunch offerings.

    Cappuccino w mini muffins

    Avocado toast. Nice bread, plenty of avocado, 2 eggs on top. Nice little salad. Cappuccino that comes with 2 mini muffins! Very tasty! Everything was great! The service was good. Gets busy in the morning.

    Neat ceiling design
    Robert K.

    Food. Lots of breakfast staples. Eggs Benedict was good but very heavy on the lemon flavor in the hollandaise sauce. The corned beef was slightly more but better. Service was quick but I think 1030 on a Monday is a slow time. Only thing I didn't like was having to pay with a QR code on the table. And the lowest suggested tip of 25% one star off for that

    Breakfast at Barney's was such a great experience! The food was delicious, and everything we…read moreordered was full of flavor. One thing I really loved was the photo booth outside in the parking garage--it was such a fun touch and made the visit even more memorable. The only downside was the parking. Unless you're lucky enough to find street parking, you'll have to park in the garage, which wasn't my favorite. Other than that, everything was great. The bartender was incredibly kind and patient, especially since I'm very picky about drinks. She helped me choose one that I ended up loving. The atmosphere inside was also really nice, with a fun and welcoming vibe. I'd definitely come back!

    SUPER unimpressed with my visit here…read more Based on the decor, especially the photo area in the parking deck and the fake flower arch outside, my first impression was that this was going to be a "TikTok trap": a restaurant focused more on aesthetics than food or service. Unfortunately, that impression ended up being accurate. It took forever for our food to come out. The parties around us were clearly frustrated as well. I watched one table become visibly irritated, while another guest stopped a server to ask if the food being carried out was theirs because they had apparently been waiting over an hour. As the wait dragged on, I started paying closer attention to the decor, which I personally found tacky and gimmicky, especially the fake greenery hanging across the ceiling. The fried green tomatoes and sweet heat wings were really good, and I started to rethink my initial assessment of the restaurant. Everything went downhill from there. My "Rich Boy" sandwich itself was good, but it came with completely unseasoned fries. When I mentioned that I was supposed to have the "Rolex" fries, the server told me the plain fries were what I got. After clarifying with another server, they brought out the actual "Rolex" fries, which appeared to just be fries with a little parmesan and parsley on top. Supposedly they were truffle fries, but there wasn't even a hint of truffle flavor. My partner ordered the veggie sausage, which was overcooked and dry. Their eggs came out over easy instead of over medium, and the "signature grits" were more like cream cheese with a little bit of grits mixed in. We were told more grits would be brought out, but they never came. Another person in my party ordered the Southern seafood pasta, which had literally one piece of spinach in it. When she asked about it, the server responded that there was "more spinach coming." At that point, it became clear that Barney's is selling the illusion of luxury in order to justify premium prices for subpar food and service. It really was a TikTok trap after all. To make matters worse, when the check came, we were charged an additional $1.50 for eggs that already came with the meal. The explanation was that the eggs "came from the shell." Others in my party were also charged extra for liquor on top of the listed menu price for their drinks. Overall, I absolutely did not enjoy my experience here, and I will not be returning. Oh, and that other party that was visibly irritated with the wait had to wait even longer because there was a hair in their food.

The cucumber mint lemonade was AMAZING. Too bad it's $4 for a small glass with no refills. Now for the rest... they were out of fries, which normally come with the burger, but I was charged an extra $3 to substitute Brussels sprouts. The server never mentioned there would be an upcharge. I only found out when I got the bill. When I questioned it, she basically said she couldn't control the system. My issue isn't even the $3. If you're out of the side that comes with the meal, customers shouldn't have to pay extra for a replacement. And I definitely don't appreciate surprise charges on my bill. I had my child with me, so I wasn't about to go back and forth over $3. I paid it and kept it moving. Another surprise was that they don't offer free water. If you want water, you have to buy a bottle. Between paying for parking, paying for bottled water, and no drink refills, the little charges started adding up. I felt "nickled and dimed." The music couldn't decide what vibe it wanted. One minute we could talk normally, and the next minute we were basically at a concert. There was also a leak in the ceiling, and near the restrooms there was a smell that reminded me of old wet towels. On the positive side, the host was amazing. He was super personable and welcoming. They also turn those tables over FAST. By the time we paid, our dishes were gone and the table was already cleaned and ready for the next group. The food is what saved this review. There were just too many little things that took away from what could've easily been a 5-star experience.
