Fantastic food/horrible service. Over two visits I'm come the conclusion that the front of the house operation needs massive help. The second visit the manager swore we were going to have great service. Yet: -- People are seated at tables without napkins or silverware -- Coffee served w/o creamer or spoons, good luck getting a coffee refill -- Wait staff lacks any understanding of what they're serving (how do you want the whites of those eggs cooked??) -- Ordering preferences mean nothing, you'll get the food the way they want to serve it (both visits the food was not prepared as requested) -- Any comment about being disappointed is met with a blank look. Premium prices shouldn't be paired with discount service. Twice is enough. I won't be back. read more

As we drove down Piedmont into the heart of Buckhead, it had been a few years since we visited Corner Café and Buckhead Bread Company. The hustling breakfast and brunch spot has no lack of flavor and every dish they have is out-of-this world good!  They have dishes like these 'Bananas Fosters' Pancakes or Chicken and Waffles that will fill your syrup craving. Or if you're into those not so sweet items, they have some of the best benedicts in Atlanta, starting with this Smoked Salmon Benny. Warning, this will make you hungry. Upon arrival, we quickly got the Prosecco Sunrise that's a twist on a traditional mimosa with your typical prosecco, orange juice, but they also add grenadine. We love the refreshing and balanced flavor, as well as how pretty the sip is! Speaking of sweet, Corner Café has a sassy Banana Fosters Pancake plate that are fluffy cakes topped with a delicate whipped cream, caramelized bananas, and macadamias. We loved the mix of earthy and hefty bananas served warm and sweet mixed with the delicate pancakes and perfectly sweet syrup. Make sure to slather as much syrup on it and let it soak into the cakes, dessert for breakfast or brunch is the way to go! John turned to me and said he really enjoyed the Chicken and Waffles. Crispy chicken with gooey cheddar cheese on top, they started out crunchy and sharp and then the waffle hits the palate for a little bit of sweet, as well as the bacon for a meatiness. The best part was the spicy chili syrup that gave the whole dish a ZING. Pro tip: dip all the bacon in the spicy syrup and you've got candied bacon!! These have to be one of the best chicken and waffles in the city. Whatever you do, make sure you get the Smoked Salmon Benedict! Now, THIS is how you benny. Boasting smoked salmon atop a potato cake and smothered in egg and sauce, it almost like a lox bagel and Benedict combined into one dish! With the salty and savory salmon pairing with the savory egg, brightness of the hollandaise, and the creaminess of the potato it was one tasty number. I decided these are my absolute favorite benedict in Atlanta. These are a must try when you go to Corner Café. As the brunch rush began to slow and we chatted with the staff, we just love how warm and inviting Corner Café is from the staff to the management and how they made our experience worth every calorie. We can't say enough good things about this spot. read more

I went to the Corner Cafe this past Saturday (March 23) as my visit wasn't bad. I do my normal routine before coming to the Corner Cafe where i would make my reservation using Open Table and never had any problems until I encountered the most rudest, dishonest hostess working that Sunday morning. I didn't get her name but she is middle aged lady with blond hair and blue eyes and she had an accent as well. We arrived and went to the hostess stand to check in, there was also another couple who was behind us and i did hear that they didn't have a reservation and we did; so the lady told us to wait, meanwhile 2 other parties came in and were immediately seated and showing favoritism for these other parties 2 to be exact and i was getting antsy but i did notice the couple that came in after us (who didn't have a reservation) hadn't been seated yet, until she calls them over US! So we walked over and asked what is going on and why the couple got sat before us. And she told us that they had a reservation and i said that isn't true because i heard them and then the hostess had the audacity to basically give me attitude and called me a liar. now that is where I draw the line. i had been very patient but when she called me a liar that is unacceptable and told us to wait longer and a table will be open and no manger to be found. so we just left frustrated and coincidentally as soon as i said we are leaving and very upset she called our name saying our table is ready. but we just walked out in truly disappointed. Maybe we didn't fit their/her mole.... read more

We stopped by while visiting apartments near by. We tried a bunch of things. The latte was ok too much milk for my taste and the chai latte was too sweet. The avocado toast was so good and I like how they spread everything on so you get a flavor of everything in every bite. The grits and potatoes were also delicious and the potatoes were very crispy like fries. The scone was okay, very dry for a cream scone. Me and my wife did not like the Benedict it was not very flavorful and the hollandaise needs some work. Service was pretty good but we got there pretty early and had to wait 15-20 minutes just for coffee. Overall would come back and it's a cute little neighborhood place! read more

Love this place. Delicious food. We had the chicken and waffles. Please check this place out

Showed up to this place 20 mins before close after a 12 hour drive to Atlanta for a mandatory evacuation from Florida. All we wanted was a nice breakfast. A server (not even sure of his scum name) told us to get out and that they were closed after the manager and bartender told us it was okay to sit down. We ended up leaving because I don't want that server to spit in my food since it was his section. Amazing bartender. She was extremely kind. Manager didn't seem to care that the server told us to leave. The server should be fired TODAY. What gross behavior. read more

Good: Good service and friendly staff. Bad: The Eggs Benedict were poorly prepared inclduing watery, nearly flavorless Hollandaise sauce, doled out with a tiny spoon. The poached eggs were more like soft boiled. (See attached image.) Poached eggs should have a runny yolk. These were overcooked... and pricey. read more

There are MUCH better options in the area, Snooze and Corner Bakery & Cafe (I know, almost identical name, but not the same) both have way better food in my opinion. We had the veggie omelette that was supposed to have cheese in it and there was none, and we had the smoked salmon Benedict which was actually not bad. We also bought a ton of baked goods like the lemon poppyseed pound cake, the marble pound cake, chocolate croissant, ham & cheese croissant, and a plain croissant and all of it was pretty mediocre at best. Definitely a let down for us! Also I attached a photo of their weird dress code sign. It's sending sexually repressed vibes for me. It's just odd? This is a very casual breakfast/lunch place so it just feels very strange to have such a specific dress code. read more

This place is a perfect brunch spot in Buckhead!!!! They have bottomless mimosas/bellinis for $15 and you can mix and match them. The Bloody Mary was not fantastic, but it was still good. I loved loved loved the grilled cheese, had a perfect pull moment and the soup was paired perfectly with it. Will be coming back again very soon! Ps. The chicken and waffles come with cheese on them, so ask to remove it if your lactose intolerant. read more

First time here after hearing rave reviews. As expected for brunch on Sunday, there was a wait for seating, but nothing substantial. Once seated and meals ordered, it took about 20 mins to receive our food. Our waiter was somewhat blunt but handled all our needs. I had the Nutella Belgium waffle which is literally a death by chocolate type of experience. There was toasted marshmallow and brownie pieces. Pure decadence. Do not consume if you have glucose issues. I've met my sweets quota for the next month. All in all, a good time with tasty food. read more

The last time I was here was really eons ago with my long time friend for a weekday lunch. I remembered I did not quite like my burger but the service was good. This morning I told him we should take turns to decide where we would go eat. Yes, I am the one who mostly made dining suggestions. He was hesitant at first (maybe cos my suggestions for the past 10 years had been great??? lol!!) but eventually he caved and said how about the Buckhead place across from Buckhead Diner? I like oh, Corner Café off Piedmont. Sounds good, never been there since the last time I had lunch with him. There was literally no wait when we entered which was a bit of surprised. The menu looked great, I was thinking of either the French Crêpes or Corned Beef Hash with two poached eggs. There were 4 of us this morning and the staff actually filled up two glasses of water and left. We were puzzled. One of us ordered a chicken and waffle and our server Alba went ahead and described how that chicken and waffle would be. Her own words.. "comprised of three quarter of a whole..." Yes, she did say 3/4. The guys then spent the next 20 minutes talking about why the restaurant not serving a whole waffle but 3/4. One of them said perhaps the 1/4 will be sold as kid's meal, or just maybe for every 1/4 taken from 3 persons' orders, that would be another three quarters on someone else's plate. I said that just simply cost cutting. As simple as that. After about 20 minutes, and yes the boys were discussing about waffles most of that time, our food came. Food 2/5 My corned beef hash and poached egg was a tad on the salty side. The toasts that came with it were dry. I thought there were roasted potatoes, I did not see much of them. The presentation did not look esthetically pleasing but I guessed it was fine. The rest were happy with their food though one was missing his 1/4 of a whole waffle. Ambience 2/5 The place seemed understaffed yet some staffs were moving so slowly. I believe staffs in any restaurant contribute to the atmosphere and energy to the place. Service 0/5 (can I give them a negative??) There were so many service lapses during our brunch. Let's name a few disastrous ones. 1) Of cos at first two of our four cups were not filled with water which we brushed it off as a slight overlook. When our food came to our table, Alba our server put the check at our table. To be fair, she said to take our time. She also left two cups of to-go coffee for the boys. Now it was a way of saying she would not be coming to our table until much later. Like my friend said the to go coffee would be cold by then. Oh yeah I made them go starbucks with me after the horrible brunch experience. 2) Throughout the meal, no one came to check on us, water was not being filled. One of us was dehydrated cos her water was long gone. Eventually, Alba was nearby and we asked her to refill our water. She filled up one and went to fill up water at other table. When one of the boys asked her to fill up my cup which was half full, her response was annoyed and abrupt. 3) At the end of our brunch, a bespectacled staff came to clear the table. He would stand on one end of our table and asked everyone of us if we were done. He would not remove any of our plates but wanted us to lift the plate and passed to him. He would not even walk over to the other side but simply waited for the two in our party to pass over their plates. That was pure laziness, rudeness and I really wonder where he learned that kind of service from. By that time, the rating of the entire experience just plummeted to the bottom. I really enjoyed my brunch company but this Corner Café just earned my worst brunch experience in recent times. I wonder how can this place be part of the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group?? If Bistro Niko (my favorite restaurant in Atlanta) is heaven, this Corner Café must be hell then. read more

I love this spot in Buckhead! I stumbled upon this place randomly and have been in love with it ever since. The wait on the weekends can be long but it's worth the wait. They have a great breakfast and brunch menu. Their shrimp and grits are delicious and one of my favorites in Atlanta. This past visit I had the Traditional Eggs Benedict. I love their hollandaise sauce. The potato's are flavored well and cooked through. On your table they drop off a mixture of mini muffins to have while you wait for youR food.

Corned beef hash was a great portion, I buttered my toast and put strawberry jelly and it was a great addition to my hash w potatoes and eggs. The hash is crispy as opposed to soft.

Stopped in here on a whim after enjoying a great music festival over the weekend in ATL. Nice crowd of people but didn't appear to be too packed. Didn't know it was brunch only (Saturday) but that was fine--bottomless mimosas--very good and several choices Including bellinis. Once we were seated we waited a good while (20 min) before getting service to put in our order. Not a big deal for us due to conversation and sipping mimosas. Great selection of entrees and the food was delicious! Seasoned just right and fresh. I went with the Eastern Shrimp Omelette (amazing!!) and hubby the Chicken and Waffles (yummy)! We both enjoyed our meals. Great experience and ambiance plus wonderful food! The chicken and waffles meal had breast tenderloins which is different than the usual "wings" which was very good--flavorful and tender. We will definitely return when in the area. Tips: Be prepared to wait on weekends--it's worth the wait! Ample free parking Fresh breads to go (onsite bakery) read more

The andouille sausage was cubed( who does that) the shrimp was not seasoned and there was an unnecessary amount of cheese... I didn't eat it but I didn't send it back and the manger game over and asked how it was and shortly after the waiter asked me what was wrong with it and why didn't I eat it.

We have never been here, and saw good reviews but the service was TERRIBLE!! I do not recommend this place to anyone. It was just my boyfriend and I so not a big party at all. We didn't even see our waiter until 20 minutes after we sat down (I'm not even exaggerating, I kept up with the time). The couple sitting next to us even noticed how long it was until our waiter even came to our table. They even commented on his service towards us. He didn't check on us once, we had to wave him down to even get his attention. No drink refills, on top of that we were only given water and he didn't even ask us if we wanted anything else to drink. Food wasn't even that great. After we were done eating it took us AN ADDITIONAL 20 minutes to get our check. read more
