We were visiting family in Atlanta and wanted to go to brunch. One of the family mentioned she'd been to the Corner Cafe for brunch once before. We decided to try it out. It was a Friday around noon and the restaurant was crowded; we had made a reservation. Two of us got the Veggie Omelette and my partner got the Fried Chicken and Waffles. I rarely give 2 star ratings, but two of us left most of our omelette. It was that bad. See the pictures - the egg was razor thin and completely tasteless - the veggies were not sautéed - they were hard, especially the broccoli, and most fell out of the omelette when I went to cut it!! The little bit of cheese in the omelette was not melted. I was so surprised and disappointed. I can only remember leaving an omelette uneaten once before. The only redeeming part of our breakfast were the grits - they were good. My partner had gotten the Fried Chicken and Waffles. The chicken was good - tasty and juicy, but the interior part of the waffle wasn't completely baked - it was soggy. It detracted from the piece of fried chicken sitting atop - so she didn't eat the waffle. Overall, we left most of our food on the plates; it was not a good experience and we will not be returning. read more

So if you want a bright and nice diner style food situation, this will be an option. They have the basics, steak and eggs and bacon and french toast and things like that. It's a really well-rounded option. You'll get there and you'll notice that it is free to park so giving the city that it's in. This is a good thing! The parking lot is the biggest but it just depends on what time you go. If you go during breakfast time or right at the start of brunch, good luck LOL. If you go during a high traffic time, you may have to wait. The last time I went, the weight was about 30 minutes but they got us in in 15. You will just stand around but it's not like you're going to be cramped up because there is a little bit of waiting space. Not a lot! But a little. When you walk in they have a whole bakery set up, so if you wanted to buy just some bakery items you could do that. You could probably do that and walk out and not even have to worry about ordering if you just want it. Some bread. But it looks nice and clean and plenty of options as far as the bakery goes. All the way to have to entertained it with us was really friendly. They came and dropped off banana muffins and chocolate chip muffins to the table. Kept our water cups full and the coffee flowing. They were really cool and gave us time to look over the venue to make sure we knew where we wanted and they gave us suggestions as well. They actually knew their stuff and were very descriptive when it came to describing the menu which made it very easy to pick. Steak and eggs - on a specific meal plan so I'm not going to go wild so I just stuck with the basic steak and eggs. The steak was cooked well done and you actually were able to cut it with a butter knife. The eggs I got Sunny side up, you can't really mess that up unless you cook it too hard. But they were cooked very well. It had fried onion straws on it, so I gave it a little extra uniqueness to the dish. Which fried onions are good so that was no issue at all. Overall, this is a pretty good spot. It's nothing major or nothing flashy but if you just want some nice solid food, that isn't going to charge you $30 for steak and eggs, this will be a good spot to consider. Just remember, if you don't go at a time that has a decent window, you may be waiting. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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". read more

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. read more

The breakfast choices are basic, the server was busy. We will a while for service and didn't ever get the steak knife for my steaks and eggs meal. The room is very noisy and we can hear the couple next table fighting. It took a while before the server came back to check on us. Definitely not recommended if you expect a nice and quiet breakfast. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

Cassie was absolutely AMAZING! The food was incredible, and she made the entire experience even better. She kept our bottomless mimosas filled the whole time and was constantly checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed. She was so sweet, attentive, and truly one in a million. One of the best servers we've ever had thank you, Cassie, for making our experience so fun and enjoyable! read more

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. read more

Food: I had the Strawberry Zinger smoothie to start, which was tasty. It had a nice creaminess from the peach yogurt, and also a nice warming color. I also had the Cuban Sandwich without any mustard, which was awesome! I liked the thing bread, and the pork was great. I ordered a side of cheesy grits, and they were delicious, some of the best I've had. I love cheesy grits and these lived up to my expectation for sure. We had the almond croissant and cheese danish from the bread company. Both were delicious, buttery, flaky, and flavorful. My mom ordered the BLT egg sandwich, and she wanted me to say that that is one of the best cooked fried eggs she has ever had, the yolk was runny, and the whites were very soft. Service: I had called previously asking when breakfast was served until, and she had said that it was all day. It was about 11 so we were excited that a place was still serving breakfast because we wanted some pancakes. We get sat down and our menus are all lunch items! We ask our waiter why we don't have breakfast menus, and it turns out that breakfast is only served all day on the weekends! But, other than this little bump everything else was fine. Food came out pretty fast. Atmosphere: I really liked the stone floor, it was a nice little detail. The windows all around gave for some natural lighting, and ways to see everyone else moving about! Overall: I would like to come back for breakfast and try it but lunch was pretty good! read more

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 read more

this was my first time here. the bakery pastry display had a large amount of fruit flies with flies crawling on the pastries. Ew. i ordered steak and eggs, steak had no flavor and was very rubbery. I did not finish my plate. the service was not that great. our waiter came and checked on us when the food was dropped off but not again until I flagged him down when we were almost completely finished. he was nice but not very attentive and it wasn't that busy. I do not recommend and would not come back. read more

The service is always first rate, and the food is consistently good. We love the late 70's-early 80's feel of the dining room. When it's sunny outside, the dining room has a nice summery glow to it. My lovely bride always orders their scrambled eggs on a warm croissant, with a side of bacon, and endless cups of black coffee. I like their eggs benedict and orange juice. Don't overlook a bowl of their cheese grits! Highly recommended. read more

We were served a meal with a salad . Then a bug crawled out of the salad which spoilt our meal . The waiter said he would replace the food and only replaced the salad .We of course had lost our appetite . We would have expected a full credit for the meal but that did not happen . Poor show Corner Cafe! read more

Me and my freind we're looking for a quick not too long of a wait brunch place . We landed on this location since it was in the area we were already at, parking was free and the menu looked good. Service was quick, we did get sat at a place we didn't want to seat but decided to just stay and enjoy the day. I ordered the salmon plate and a side of green fried tomatoes. I was expecting cooked salmon but realized what I ordered once it arrived. The combination of the salmon and bagel with cream cheese was delightful. My freind ordered the corn beef hash. Her eggs were not properly poached and thankfully were remade. For some reason it would've taken to long to do it properly so they brought her out sunny side up fried eggs with a raw middle. She liked her food but said she would've rather cooked it herself. She does not intend to return. I on the other hand will return if I'm in the area since I know what to expect. The price was okay for what we ordered. The setting reminded me of a dinner, but with more class. read more

Best Cuban sandwich I've ever had!! Great location, easy to find, lots of parking. Lots of salads and breakfast items as well!

Has suuuch a great brunch here. Nice sized parking lot mad arriving a breeze. We had a reservation for two, checked in and were sat in just a few minutes. Our server was attentive and friendly. I ordered the chicken and waffles it was sooo good and filling. I saw so many things I wanted on the menu it was hard to choose! I also got bottomless mimosas and I never did see the bottom of my glass... I can't wait to go back! read more

Great place for breakfast. Delicious omelettes and other egg dishes. Their chicken sausage deserves an award. Spacious, so generally no problem getting a seat. Unfortunately, there is no counter just tables and when it's not crowded the atmosphere tends to sag a little. On the other end of the spectrum when it's crowded the service suffers and you may go for thirty minutes without seeing the person who waited on you. Overall, though, it's a great place and I keep going back Food: 8/10 Service: 7/10 Ambiance 5/10 Overall four stars read more

Everything is nice about this café. One feels the light atmosphere and even the gloomy weather didn't detract from it. The menu has all kinds of temptations on it, especially Nutella on various items. I've got to admit that I'm a bit tired of the Nutella trend but it's still delicious to most. The bakery is top notch. A plethora of great breads & cakes. Cakes made to order as well. The list star? Our service was terrible. The server was new but that wasn't the whole problem. It took close to an hour for our food to arrive. It may have been because our server hadn't put the order in but I doubt it because our food arrived pretty quickly once we'd asked what the delay was. Others did not seem to have this wait so I'm guessing our order was an exception. I'll update when I return and receive the stellar service everyone else seemed to get! read more

Came here because Apple Maps has shown 4.7 star rating and cool pictures of some breakfast food. However, the place is not any close to pictures and high ratings First, the atmosphere inside was disappointing, didn't match those photos, but we still trusted those 4.7 star and decided to give it a try. Menu: We could not find the items from Apple Maps/Open Table for this place in the menu and a waiter said "oh, it's old menu, nothing is available, everything has changed". We ordered Avocado toast and Belgian Waffles. It wasn't complete disaster, we could eat it but definitely not even a 4 star, there is no any reason to return. Avocado toast: smashed avocado was good, but the bread could be nicer (especially for a specialized bakery) Belgian waffles with berries: half of the blackberry were rotten that could be seen by changed colors (not black, but pale red). Service: waiter wasn't bothered at all that I didn't eat berries even though from several options of waffles I ordered specifically waffles with berries. read more

This is a standard brunch spot connected to a bakery in Buckhead, where you can actually make reservations and service is quick, even for a large group. they have an extensive menu with some twists on classic brunch fare. It's priced about as you'd expect for a place in Buckhead, although don't expect huge American-sized portions, their portions are more on the moderate side. It seemed like everyone at the table liked their dishes, and I enjoyed my shrimp and grits, which was cheesy and buttery but still had some nice sweet corn flavor. The shrimp were cooked well, juicy, and the gravy was savory and rich with the slightest kick. read more

I really wanted to like this place because I stepped out of my comfort zone to give another "fancy" breakfast spot a chance over waffle house / ihop and was ultimately disappointed. The food is so expensive almost every dish on the menu is around $20 and the portion sizes are so small. My sister ordered a breakfast sandwich, which was tasty but the bread was so thin the tomato on it was thicker than both slices. I had the cheese omelet. It was just a plain, simple, greasy little cheese omelet that came with the same paper thin toast and plain grits. The food was bland and cold. My sad omelette plate was $18 and it didn't even come with a breakfast meat I had to add it on the side for $6. I would have been happier going to wafflehouse or even making breakfast at home but it was a special occasion and I wanted to have a nice meal with my sister. The actually restaurant was cute and clean. The staff was friendly but the food was just not very good . read more

My love had never eaten here so I decided to bring her here for Sat brunch. When you walk in a hand sanitizer station is located right at the door. We proceeded to the hist station where I had to give my number for seating. After 10 mins, we were told that our seats were ready. You have to scan a QR code for the menu after a few minutes we decided to order. Our waiter was okay not the best but not the worse just needed more hospitality and friendly service. He brought cold chocolate chip muffins and we asked him to please warm them up. He did however they were still not appetizing. Anyway, we decided on crab cake Benedict and corn beef hash for lunch with blood orange and the violet for cocktails. The eggs were poached on each plate with hollandaise sauce and they both come with home potatoes. As you will see in the picture. The bakery was limited but the coffee, smoothies, teas and cocktails were in full service. She loved it and will we be back. read more

Oof, expected a lot more from this place. Simple menu, but nearly all of it was clearly instant/frozen and heated up. My corned beef hash was salty, although I expect that, and the hollandaise was definitely instant. Potatoes were frozen, not from scratch. My blackberry tea was in a bottle, not house-made. My husband got the three-egg omelet, which was average. Skip it and find a different breakfast spot. read more
