    Buffalo chicken wrap and street corn
    Alexandra E.

    How this place is hidden in a small town like coats, I'll never understand, but I'm so glad we checked it out today. The ambiance is cute, clean and country, extremely homey. My kids both raved about the bathrooms though, I never saw for myself, I'm certain they are just as cute as the rest of the place. The waitstaff was friendly, fast and gave outstanding service. The food came out fresh and quickly, despite the filling dining room. We tried the fresh fruit smoothies, strawberry banana and mango, so yummy. Had the pimento cheese dip and pita for our appetizer, (so so delicious), my kids split the Italian sub and buffalo chicken wrap and shared the Mac and cheese and street corn, I had the side salad. Everything was fresh and great portions, prices were reasonable also. Street corn was spicier then I had anticipated but still delicious. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Would definitely recommend, and absolutely visit again.

    It's a nice quiet place with great service. I ordered a cinnamon waffle and it was amazing. Best waffle I've had in a long time

    Coffees are superb, waffles are good, salads are good service is wonderful and decor is charming. My fave place in Benson to eat.

    Summer chicken salad croissant & large vanilla latte frappe

    The best food I've had out to eat in a while! I got the summer chicken salad on a croissant and a large vanilla latte frap. The chicken salad had the perfect amount of sweetness and tasted so fresh. The frappe was so good - WAY better than Starbucks. This restaurant is the perfect example of a local business that delivers quality food and atmosphere.

    What a nice unexpected find in downtown Coats. I stopped in at the time just between breakfast and lunch and opted for breakfast, not realizing until much later that the waffles are available all day. Waffles aren't just for breakfast anymore here. And that's good. The chocolate waffle -- a splurge for a late breakfast -- was equal parts sweet and chocolatey. Sugar rush accomplished. I was expecting a chocolate waffle, for some reason, but was not disappointed with my ordinary waffle with lots of melted chocolate chips. There were enough chips for every indentation. Even though "Cafe" shows up first in the name, I actually stopped in for the Coffee. There are the standard coffee shop items, and they're available even if you aren't staying to eat. My latte was nicely made. Caffeine rush accomplished. Decorated with old pictures of local places and people, mostly law enforcement or fire responders from what I noticed, and a section of a wall honoring local military through the years, Cornerstone doesn't overwhelm your senses with too much. The shop is long and sort of narrow, but with the high ceilings and smaller tables it doesn't feel crowded at all. You can see outside from any spot and that keeps it from feeling claustrophobic. Local shops have a distinct advantage over the chain places, and Cornerstone is a good example of a local winner.

    Took my sister, nephew, and parents for lunch today...(my sister recently moved to the area) we had such an excellent experience! Jenna served us and she was friendly, efficient, and kind...we really loved the menu choices, and we were all very happy with our meals. My sister ordered the Buffalo chicken wrap which is pressed on the panini press and it was fantastic! She switched out ranch for blue cheese, and noted how fresh the ingredients were. The perfect amount of spice for the sauce and very tender chicken made this a great choice. Mom had the chunky monkey waffle and she really enjoyed it...very decadent and chocolatey, but nicely balanced and a tasty waffle. Dad ordered the Philly cheesesteak and he said it was very delicious. My nephew had the kids grilled cheese with sliced strawberries and chips...a large half which is perfect for any youngster. And I ordered the roast beef that was so tender, juicy, and delicious on freshly baked bread...loved the melted provolone and horseradish sauce and the side of au jus made it all the more tasty...my dad is new to grits, so for an appetizer we ordered the shrimp n grits special (this is a lunch or dinner plate, but being we all shared it to try we had that come out first!) the shrimp were deveined and detailed and were perfectly cooked and had nice flavor...the grits were creamy and topped with bacon, gravy, and fresh Tomatoes that made this dish over the top! We all had specialty drinks too...a frozen hot chocolate that was so creamy and chocolatey, 2 moon pie lattes (iced), a mango smoothie that was refreshing, and a nice raspberry iced tea. Lastly, the decor and ambience of this little gem is wonderful...very inviting, very comfortable, and very charming. This is an absolute win if you're looking for a great meal or coffee along with wonderful service!

    When I went in to order the person at the counter was very friendly and sociable. They make some of the best waffles I've had in a while.

    Always a quaint place to eat and work. I recommend the salads or chicken salad. And if you are a coffee lover, add that too.

    Ordered takeout for my family and I am more than pleased I did. The food was amazing! I ordered…read morefor myself 6 wings with the Rosemary infused Jersey hot sauce and the Garden State burger. I love wings and the hotter the sauce the better but I was pleasantly surprised how the rosemary gave a nice flavor upfront with a subtle heat on the back and which made them most enjoyable. The blue cheese dipping sauce had little chunks of blue cheese that did not over power the dip or wings. The garden state burger brought me back to my childhood when I would walk to the corner deli and get a pork roll, egg, and cheese on a Saturday morning! The employees were so courteous and provided me with great service even when I arrived early to pick up my food. The table layout seems perfect for quant dinning but also open enough to share in the atmosphere on a busy night with other customers. As a recently retiree from the Army I am very thankful that I was able to support a veteran owned business and that it is providing great food for the Lillington and surrounding areas. Me and the family will definitely be return customers.

Very attentive and accommodating. As a table we ordered the coconut shrimp as an appetizer. The coconut was a overly crispy but still had a good flavor. I ordered the boardwalk fries with a side salad as my meal. Both were delicious. For my portion of the appetizer, fries and salad my total was around $36 before tip. Would definitely come back here.
