    Inside

    Cornerstone would be 4 or 5 stars 20 years ago, but the bar has been raised by a lot of small modern cafes in these small farm towns. The inside of Cornerstone is dated and a bit spartan. The menu is simple diner food. The service is friendly and fast. I was disappointed that they did not serve real cream for our coffee. This is farm country, and serving artificial creamer seems wrong to me. I had scrambled eggs and sausage. The eggs were unseasoned, and the sausage was forgettable. Again, we have found many small town cafes within 20 miles that are raising the bar with better food and quality coffee.

    Breakfast bowl with scrambled eggs, sausage gravy, peppers, hash browns and your choice of meat.

    Friendly staff. Most of the times that I dine at Cornerstone it is during the breakfast hour. Breakfast is served all day. A mix of tables and booths as well as a few counters seats. The menu offers a lot of "home cooking/comfort food" options. You can usually count your n seeing someone you know when you dine in. Carry out is an option too.

    We stopped by here on our way home from our son's cross country meet in Peoria. So much nicer to stop here than some fast food restaurant. Very clean and casual atmosphere. Our server, Jillian, was super nice and attentive. I don't think I ever say the bottom of my drink glass. It was always being refilled. :-) My turkey club was delicious. My husband really enjoyed his country fried steak. We will definitely stop by again when we are in the area.

    Fantastic menu

    Easy going home town vibes, relaxed dining with plenty of room and outdoor seating too, menu is large and offers plenty to pick from even during the week for lunch, dropped in for my first time and sure will not be my last! My friend and I sampled the Double Bacon cheeseburger and Western omelet; major success, all tasted really good and was a good value as well. Our waitress was very polite tho a bit disappeared and we had to get up and get a box for ourselves. Didn't get us down at all, there's plenty on this menu alone to get me back.

    One word: N A S T Y. Do NOT eat here. It looked promising…read moreat first when it was just down the street from the laundromat where we were finishing laundry. It looked promising when we walked in and the decor was so cute with license plates and stoplights. It looked promising when the wait staff were very nice and delivered an extensive menu. That's where promising ended. I ordered mozzarella sticks with marinara, a dinner salad and a side of cottage cheese. Pretty simple, right? The waitress asked what I wanted on the salad??? I said hard boiled egg, tomatoes, cucumber, whatever vegetables they had. She sort of shook her head as if she did not know what veggies they had. I ordered a side of blue cheese dressing. Mother in law ordered a grilled chicken salad. Mozzarella sticks took 25 minutes? I actually had to leave to get our laundry caus we were waiting so long. Came back to lukewarm NASTY mozzarella sticks that we did not finish. The marinara was underwhelming and warmer than the cheese sticks. Gross. Then we wait another 10-15 minutes wondering where the heck our simple salads are. The staff would not make eye contact. We kept looking for someone who would check our order and gave up. Finally after 45 min of waiting we get our "salads" YUCK. Mine we the tiniest bowl of white / pale green iceberg lettuce. A piece of white onion. A small plastic container of dressing sat on top of the sad lettuce. THAT WAS IT. Where are the vegetables I asked for? I look at the salad my MIL got and THERE was my hard boiled egg. There were the chopped vegetables. Luckily she offered to share her egg and vegetables with me. My salad was NASTY. She did not like hers, it was covered in melted cheese. Only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because the waitresses were very nice. It wasn't their fault the kitchen staff can't make salad.

    GREASY! We were really disappointed with our breakfast here. It was the only sit-down breakfast on…read morea Sunday AM. The building is dated and cluttered with memorabilia on the walls. The service and food arrival was lighting fast, which is a tell tale sign of poor food. The omelet we got was swimming in grease/oil. It was mostly cheese and had very little else. The coffee is unremarkable. My scramble eggs were unseasoned and not fluffy. Skip this joint if you can.

    The Knight and The Bible…read more On a drive up to Chicago to catch a vacation flight, we stopped at The Cup and The Scone to get us caffeinated for the rest of the drive. We got there about 30 minutes before close and the barista was super nice as we ordered our drinks. Emily got a caramel latte and I got the.. you guessed it... an iced americano. We also grabbed a blueberry-lemon, cranberry-orange, and birthday cake scone. While we stood there as the barista was making our drinks, we chatted her up a bit and we were able to get a few free stickers from her. She said they don't use them all too much and was happy to give us two each. Once we got our drinks, we took off to the upper part of the coffeehouse and promised we wouldn't be too long since they were closing soon. Before we headed upstairs, I took some photos with the suit of armor that is by the counter. When we got upstairs, I was surprised to see another suit of armor, so I took a photo with that one, too. The Cup and The Scone specializes in a lot of gluten-free products and a small bit of religion. I don't know if their entire menu is gluten-free but as someone who's mom is gluten sensitive (and I will probably be at some point), the care about GI issues is great. As for the religious stuff, if you don't see the occasion bible strewn about the place, you'd honestly never know. But, their website seems to support helping people and I think that also is super great as this world is getting rough and scary. Any who, Emily and I really enjoyed our drinks. The americano hit all the right notes and Emily was delighted with her latte. We were split on the scones. I really liked the birthday cake while she really liked the cranberry-orange while we both thought the blueberry-lemon was just alright. We held true to our promise and dipped out before 2pm and hit the road. If I find myself in Pontiac for some reason in the future, The Cup and The Scone will definitely be my spot to get some americanos.

    I was initially drawn to this spot by the big knight in shining armor that I saw on Yelp (I'm a big…read morechess fan) and then pleasantly surprised at how cool this place is. The decor really makes this spot, with lots of fun themed signs throughout the restaurant. This definitely gives it a different and more fun vibe than the average coffee house and the upstairs loft is cozy to hangout in as well. The coffee flavors and preparation are quite good here -- flavorful, and made with high quality ingredients. I also enjoyed the mini scones, with a nice texture that was soft but a little more firm than a muffin. Overall, definitely worth a visit if you're in Pontiac. Great vibe and delicious food.
