If you're staying at the Sheraton or really anywhere in Springfield this is a wonderful lunch spot. There is a large selection of fresh made (hot/cold) sandwiches and salads, as well as daily made soups. I had the New Yorker (basic pastrami on rye) and it was tender and toasted perfectly. I also had a cup of their Turkey and Stuffing soup as recommended by the gentleman tending the register. Wow, it was awesome and unique. To finish it up, they have gigantic house made cookies that are freakin delicious. The staff is very friendly and go beyond just enough to enhance the value. Good prices, great food, nice people. read more

Hidden Gem! I highly recommend Cornerstone Cafe. Came in for breakfast and found one of my new new favorite breakfast spots. The owners are very nice and took the extra time to talk to me. Mom and pop restaurants help support locals! Dilly Breakfast Sandwich was amazing. It's a toasted buttered Croissant, spread with lemon dill mayo, layered with an over-hard egg, smoked applewood bacon and melted dill havarti cheese. The Cornerstone's signature lemon dill Mayo is what makes this breakfast sandwich over the top. Just the right amount to add and extra creamy taste. The coffee was on point and the right temperature. They are serving No. Six Depot Coffee Roasters from Great Barrington, MA. I tried the "Notes from the Underground" - Dark Roast. At $2 for a medium cup, you can't complain. Any wait to try them out for lunch. read more

Walked in at 11:20 (it was a little tricky to find in general), and according to the website and menu, you could order breakfast until 11:30. As I walked up the counter, just to be polite, I asked the man at the register and he smiled and said no. I then asked why did the website say 11:30 and he looked shocked and only responded "we usually do". And that was it. It just left a really bad taste in my mouth and will not be trying this place again next time I'm in town read more

Placing an 8 person order over the phone proved to be a difficulty. John was very rude over the phone and made sure to let me know I was making things very complicated for him by ordering over the phone. The only reason I called to order was because the website did not allow me to request extra chicken. I wanted to make sure I was charged for the extra chicken since it's only fair. It would've been better if he would've asked me to call back instead of being hostile via phone. It's really a shame because the food was amazing. I'd rather eat at another cafe that isn't as good as this one, instead of ordering here again. Terrible service but amazing food. I guess we can't have it all! read more

As an airline crew at the Sheraton next door I was just looking for a quick sandwich before our departure. I ordered the blue cheese roast beef on ciabatta bread. This sandwich is seriously in the top 5 sandwiches I've had. The roast beef is plentiful, the bread toasted, and the blue cheese spread is mouthwatering! I will be back on my next layover! The iced tea was brewed and perfect as well! All staff said Hello and were super friendly. read more

Right next door to the Sheraton, a great little place to grab a quick bite for breakfast or lunch. I got a bacon egg and cheese croissant and it was top quality and very reasonably priced. Very friendly staff as well. read more

Chicken salad sandwich. I changed bread from ciabatta to wheat. Comes with chips. Less than $10. So yummy! read more

Excellent place to grab great coffee and sandwiches! Super friendly staff! Prices are unbelievably reasonable!

Didn't expect much from a deli inside a random building but boy was I wrong. This was one of the most amazing sandwiches I've ever had??? And I eat a lot of sandwiches. Got the hot turkey club and it was stacked high with turkey and bacon. Absolutely incredible! My friend got the hot chicken and Brie and couldn't stop raving about it. I will 1000% be back. The employees were also incredibly kind. Def check this place out! read more

This small place does a ton of business. It doesn't look like much but the food is delicious and the people are friendly . I have tried a few of the sandwiches and a salad and it all met my expectations. If you want a filling salad I definitely recommend the nine to five salad. Want a tasty and unique sandwich ? Try the chicken and brie panini. Best part of this place? You can get a meal for 10 bucks that is fast and delicious. read more

Great little deli. (A tiny bit difficult to find - not in the hotel per se...but only about 5 seconds from it.) Had two bagels and a cup of coffee for $12.15. Pretty good-sized breakfast. I probably could have gotten enough with just one, but glad I tried both. read more

Beautifully packaged, tasted better than it looked (and it looked amazing), delicious and one of the best sandwiches and wraps I've ever had. Can I talk about the cookie? It was delicious! The care taken and welcoming atmosphere is enough to have me coming back as often as I'm in the office! Thank you for an amazing lunch! read more

A great little nook of delicious! We were at a conference next door, ordered online , and our lunch was ready for pickup, everything prepared as ordered and delicious. We had plenty of time to eat, chat, and decompress before an afternoon of learning! read more

Quick, fast, tasted great and fits the budget! I'll be back every time I'm in town. Good job!

Good soup!!! Wasn't to fond of the chicken salad sandwich wasn't expecting it to be sweet. Very fast at making your order and decent lunch selections. read more

Awesome little sandwich shop. Several freshly made sandwiches including chips for under $9.

I was here on Friday waiting to enter the MassMutual Center for the Bay Path College Women's conference. My co-worker and I needed a cup of strong Joe and had no car because we were dropped off by a shuttle van. Since it was before seven in the morning, there were very little options in downtown Springfield. Many places did not open until seven. Luckily, I knew that the hotel cafes nearby would be open so we walked a couple of blocks and stumbled upon this cute place. A-HA! Best part, they served Starbucks!!!! Can't go wrong with Starbucks! I liked the self-served portion. The guy working at the counter was even very nice! There were little chairs and tables outside; making the coffee stop experience very pleasant. read more

OMG. These folks know how to get gourmet food out fast..my server was beautiful, fast and friendly. People waiting for orders freind ly and chatty. The food over the moon out of this world! Chicken noodle soup. Sounds common, it's not Best recipient ever. The turkey club! One of the best. It is my go to sandwich and I use it to rate each cafe. Great. Must try. read more

The coffee is the best in downtown Springfield. That being said, some of the staff (John) are very customer friendly and many are not, so I can't really give them a very good customer service rating. The woman taking the sandwich orders in the morning is a poor listener and frequently gets the orders wrong. In three sandwich orders, all three were incorrect. That being said, the ingredients are very high quality. They just can't seem to get simple orders right, which is very disappointing given the quality of the ingredients. If you just want a coffee and a muffin, definitely the place in downtown Springfield to go. read more

What a wonderful hidden gem!!! Having to stay at the Sheraton Hotel for an extended stay, Cornerstone has been an awesome addition to my meals. They serve a breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg, cheese, oversized english muffin) at a very reasonable price. There muffins are great, and the menu has many more extensive items, I just have not had the opportunity to try at this point. The lunches are also reasonable. We have been getting a half sandwich and chips. The tuna, turkey, and roast beef are all great choices. With both breakfast or lunch, and buying a beverage, the prices for 2 haven't been above $15, which is a steal here in downtown Springfield. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I enjoy their breakfast sandwich and chicken wrap. Some days I'll order a salad but as of late I find the lettuce to be brown looking. But on the plus side they have a variety of things on the menu from soup to sandwiches, salads, bagels and even dessert. read more

Unbelievable service. John is truly a great face of this business, I have no idea how he is able to remember every single persons name after just a couple visits. The food is great as well as their daily specials. This is a perfect spot for a coffee or lunch read more

I work downtown and always enjoy lunch from Cornerstone. I get the same thing every time and it is consistently well made. I think this is the only place I eat where the staff knows me by name. read more

So sad it took me nearly two years to discover this place; what a gem! Tucked away in the lobby of Monarch Place basically under the escalator, I got lost the first time. *Extensive menu; if you can't find something you like, you are clearly the most picky eater ever; go back to eating Kraft Mac and Cheese *Generous portions, fair prices. Different than Frigos but I have to imagine it's taking some of their business away; it's a Friday tradition for me lately. *Salads are outstanding; Cobb salad is my fav. They even pre-cut the avocado, saving me precious eating/outdoor time; they thought of everything! Go try this place; you won't be disappointed. read more

I don't know how I haven't gotten around to reviewing this place yet. I come here all the time because I work in Monarch Place, and it's very consistent with both the service and the food, which are excellent. The owner, John, is notably kind and funny. I have a few favorites here. For breakfast, I almost always opt for the Miss Lorraine Sandwich, which is an egg, bacon, spinach, and dill mayo on a croissant roll. And it's, of course, delicious. I also really love the (usually Monday) sandwich special, the Buffalo Chicken Caesar Wrap, the Buffalo Bill Wrap, the Pilgrim Sandwich (when I'm feeling Thanksgivingy), and good ol' pastrami and swiss on rye. read more

Talk about convenient, reasonable prices, and delicious. I tried this place across from the hotel I was staying at, and I was not disappointed. Was looking for something quick and healthy after my workout, and this place was IT. I trying the soup and salad deal, got the Mediterranean lentil soup and tuna sandwich. You can build your own sandwich from a variety of toppings, breads, and meats. The soup was very good and filling. The staff was very friendly, and my order was ready in min. I will come back for more next time I'm here. read more

Not only is the food here delicious (amazing crab cake sandwich that is perfectly priced), the people are so friendly, and it's great to have such customer service and see a smiling face when stopping for lunch in the middle of a hectic day. I wish I was in Springfield more, I would eat here all the time! read more

Staying in town and I was hungry, so I went on Yelp and found this place. I wanted breakfast, but I came too late. Nice variety of breakfast sandwiches. I wanted to turn mine into a wrap buy I missed breakfast anyway so I had to do lunch. Again, a nice variety of sandwiches,wraps,and salads and soup. I chose to go with a salad. It was very appetizing to look at and eat and you get alot too, I even added chicken to it. I should have taken a picture, but I was so hungry I couldn't wait. I'll probably go back for dinner. Super fast service and great prices! read more

Decent bagels and muffins, fast turn-around, only a few minutes to wait for egg and cheese. In good weather it outside in plaza.

This is my favorite little lunch spot. I love their bacon and blue grilled chicken wrap. All of the sandwiches are a tad on the pricey side apparently but after living in Boston for 5 years, they seem okay to me. They have awesome soups, and a bean salad that I probably eat 3 times a week. My favorite thing is the southwestern bean salad with the rice. They don't have it as often as the regular version but whenever they do I grab one. They have already prepped sandwiches, wraps and salads in the case with all the drinks so if you're in a rush, hit that up. They are all made fresh daily so they are as good as anything you'd wait for if you don't want one of their specialty items. They also have a delicious breakfast menu. The egg sandwiches make my tummy smile. Their cheddar bagels are delicious and according to my co-workers their cookies aren't half bad either. They aren't reinventing the wheel here or anything, but if you want a place with reliable quality, and really friendly service then you should probably try this place out. read more

Love coming here. The food is always incredible, I've gotten a number of their salads, my favorite so far being their Cobb salad special. I'm a big fan of their bacon pasta salad at only $4/$5 its a great side or a small lunch. I've also heard their soups are very good to keep you warm on those cold days. read more

Cornerstone has most recently had turkey chili on the menu! It is flavorful and has just enough spice! I highly recommend it.

Visiting company in the building. Really good lunch cafe! I had the BLT salad & it was delicious. It did take longer to get the food than I would've liked but overall I would go back. read more

Ordered the turkey chili and cranberry scoop sandwich. Both were yummy and only $11 something. Had trouble finding it at first. You go a little to the left when you enter the building(kinda under the elevator), do not go up the elevator like I did. read more

I usually order a salad and soup here, but let me tell you that they are fantastic. Also, and this is a must... Get the stuffed chocolate chip cookies. Seriously. read more

Love the soups. Mulligatawny, chipotle shrimp corn chowder and the shrimp curry are some of my favorites.

This place is amazing. The sandwiches are the best I have had anywhere. Soup good too. Only open for bfast and lunch but John could have an amazing dinner restaurant with his skills. You will not be disappointed. read more
