Cornerstone Kitchen was solid for breakfast! We visited on Labor Day and found it pretty busy, but were still able to snag a picnic table outside. I ordered the Turkish Eggs and my partner opted for the Classic Breakfast. Service was quick and efficient! I liked my meal, but it wasn't particularly memorable. We also had to duck inside once the wasps started attacking our food. On the way out, we picked up a pastry from the bakery side, which was fantastic! Would return for more bakery items in the future. read more

Yummm egg salad sandwich with focaccia bread was outstanding! The side salad was overdressed but it's not the main event. Service: Hillary was so friendly and makes the best caramel latte with homemade caramel. My sisters split the chicken sandwich. Needs a bit more chicken but flavors were yummy. Ambiance so cute and love to hang out there. Definitely will be coming back!! read more

Great find . Had a traditional two egg breakfast and everything was amazing ---eggs were cooked perfectly and so fluffy, the potatoes were killer ---little tiny Yukon potatoes that must have been double fried , and the bacon ----oh the bacon ---the real deal! Hands down best breakfast I have had in a while. Do yourself a favor and try them out. (So keep in mind it's order at counter and not full table service .) read more

I wasn't really a fan if this place. There's just a lot I think could be improved by management or owners to make the experience better. For one, it came off a bit cheap and lazy. You bus your own table which is fine if they don't ask for tip, but they do... and they had the bus tubs completely filled to brim and it was not busy. So there was no where to put the dishes. Also not one table was wiped down, so it's a bit awkward. They probably need to have another staff member to assist with this so that one person can remain behind counter. The staff is friendly but what did rub me the wrong way as well is it seems they are asked to skimp on the food at this restaurant. We ordered a side of toast and a side of bacon, both $5 each and they give you one slice of toast and one and a quarter piece of bacon broken into three quarter pieces.. just not worth it. The food tasted good but is overshadowed by the rest of the experience unfortunately :/ wouldn't return as of right now. read more

Cornerstone kitchen has the best tasting bread in the region! I stopped by for lunch on a Sunday, and thoroughly enjoyed a croque madame outside at a dog-friendly picnic table. The creamy bechamel in the sandwich was divine, and the ham was very generously portioned. The smashed potatoes that accompanied it were also delicious. Expect SF prices and a bit of a wait. All in all, I will definitely return. read more

Metered street parking. Friendly, but it would be nicer if they had table service. You have to order at the counter and signs ask you to bus your own table. The food is pretty good. There's a small selection of beer and wine. There's only one bathroom, and usually a line to use it. read more

Met a friend here for brunch and it was the perfect spot. Mimosas, croissant breakfast sandwich, and my little one had a parfait. We were served really quickly and it was delicious! Will definitely add to my list of places to go back to when I'm in Truckee. Ate it up too fast so I didn't get a picture read more

The food here was fantastic. The base for their breakfast sandwiches are breads or croissants from the attached bakery.

Came for late lunch. I ended up with chicken salad. Very good. There were some large cracks of pepper in the salad and quinoa much of a nutty surprise. Staff helpful though initially appears slightly indifferent to my. 2:15 arrival. Salad was about $22 out the door so not cheap. Super cute spot it actually connects into the coffee shop though you need to order coffee directly from next spot. I was disappointed that parking was paid outside not sure what Truckee is trying to do making everything pay pay pay. read more

Probably the most underrated breakfast in truckee! Super tasty French toast. The menu looked so unique but I stuck with staples. I personally love a sausage gravy, but their biscuits and gravy was bacon gravy I believe. Service was quick and the staff were friendly. read more

We ordered online and were told by their app that the order was going to take an hour which was surprising for shoulder season. We kept refreshing for updates and there were none. When we arrived they said oh yeah your food has been ready for half an hour we've just been waiting for you. The app still shows that the food was not even starting to be prepared. Our $50 breakfast is stone cold and has to be reheated. They offered to remake it but have a large order it was going to take another half an hour. Not impressed. This was not the first time we have had issues here, but it will be yard last. P.S. Thanks for the top notch fill on the sauce. read more

Stopped in here with friends on our morning visiting the area. We were a large group of 10, this place had enough seating. It's self seating, you walk up and order. Self serving water, with a super cute connected coffee shop. We all ordered different things off the menu, all were really tasty. Service was nice and food was brought to where we sat quickly after we ordered. Really enjoyed this place! Can't wait to visit again read more

Amazing food. Very friendly staff warm and inviting went 2 days in a row !! Biscuits delicious, fresh pastries so good.

Unfortunately wanted to love this cafe but didn't. We came in around 12pm on a Saturday it was not that busy but the staff seemed in no hurry. Gave no suggestions when I asked for good options and seemed like they were out of a lot of ingredients/options. You have to buss your own table, which is fine but then a lot of table were just dirty and not wiped down. Food was good but that's about it. read more

We came to downtown Truckee to find a spot for a quick lunch and walked into Cornerstone Kitchen. Ordering was quick at the register up front and I got the Turkish Eggs and a cappuccino for a light lunch. Food came out quickly but I was a bit disappointed in the eggs. Turkish Eggs are meant to be saucy with soft boiled eggs served over savory, garlicky yogurt. The eggs I got were over medium next to a bit of greek yogurt, some olive oil and sunflower seeds. There really wasn't any flavor and the eggs were cooked too long to mix with the yogurt. We likely should have ordered something else - the breakfast sandwiches looked better. At leas the cappuccino was good and the toast was enough to fill up. read more

Came across a random little bakery while in Tahoe and i definitely will come back for the vanilla bean pull apart! Super light and crunchy with a little bit of dough. The older lady who rang us up was super nice and sweet! It's a small but busy bakery. Please make sure to clean after yourself while dining in! read more

On a whim, my husband and I drove to Truckee for coffee one lazy Sunday. We came in a little later in the morning so after paying for parking and getting our coffee we decided we should just stay a little longer and have some brunch. We started walking lazily around down town while we sipped and chatted and just happened upon Cornerstone. After checking out the menu online we decided that this was exactly what we were looking for. We walked into the warm and cozy shop and were greeted by the friendly and professional employees. I ordered the Turkish Eggs. Creamy, buttery eggs over yoghurt with a fabulous focaccia bread was exactly what I needed on the chilly morning. My husband had the short rib hash and he loved it as well, praising the copious amounts of short rib with the crispy, yet soft potatoes. So glad we stumbled upon this tasty little shop! read more

Healthiest food in Truckee. So good we went twice! Great place to escape from the slopes for local lunch vibes.. Just arrive before 2:15pm if you want to dine-in. They close at 3pm. The bakery also has the best baked breads, cookies, croissants, cinnamon rollls in town. It's a Beautiful bakery that's attched to a healthy kitchen. We had salads with cauliflower, chicken breasts, quinoa. The breakfast also looks delicious. If you love bakeries where you can enjoy a nice coffee and conversation with also healthy meals definitely check them out. read more

Good pastries but don't try to get a coffee after 1 or 2pm. They'll tell you machine is broken but I think they've already cleaned it for the day and don't want to dirty it. Otherwise how does it always get repaired by morning? read more

Two sided spot, coffee and baked goods on one, and the lunch/breakfast on the other. Had the short ribs and eggs. Hubby had the salmon Caesar. Great split since the short ribs come with fried potatoes and are on the heavy side, but really good. Great local spot.menu marks GF options read more

So close to 5 stars! The food is actually wonderful IMHO. I haven't been in recently because funds are low BUT I've had a craving for their quinoa bowl for a week now! I should probably fulfill that soon! Their crispy potatoes are very tasty as is their chicken protein bowl. There are a few solid gluten free options and I greatly appreciate it! Each time I've been in I was able to order in a reasonable amount of time and usually would get my food within 15ish minutes. Not bad especially for downtown. The addition of outdoor seating has been nice especially during nice weather. However seating feels kinda cramped inside. The downsides are 1) it closes at 3 (man I'd love to see what they would do for dinner!) 2) despite changes to River Street, parking is still a challenge especially in winter. I'm not sure honestly what can be done but finding parking is one of the reasons I don't eat here more often. read more

This place is a gem! Best breakfast I had all weekend in Tahoe. I can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu!

If, on a 1-10 scale, I would give their bakery an 11... sadly, our breakfast at Kitchen was probably a 6. The breakfast sandwich on croissant was hard to eat. The homemade sausage was okay. The salmon on the hash was overly sweet. The potatoes were excellent. Neither of us would order our dishes again. We'd try something simpler. But we also left with a box of baked goods from next door. There are excellent breakfast options in Truckee. I hope Kitchen reconsiders its prep and aligns with something simpler, more savory, and easier to eat. read more

Wow.. this place is amazing. Finally have a new go-to spot when I'm passing thru truckee... brisket hash was fiiiiire. The latte was the quality I look for and rarely get. Thanks guys we'll be back read more

The service was pretty good and the food came out in a timely manner. All the food was great and some of the best breakfast in Truckee. It gets one star off because you need to clean up your table including dishes yourself. read more

I loved their gluten free options and ate as many of them as I could! Delicious food and the potato chips were so crisp and flavorful. The coffee shop next door is linked to this business, so we got our nice coffees and found seating in the bakery and they brought over the meal - great service. Really enjoyed this breakfast and the nice, small-town vibes! read more

I really wanted to like this place. But everything from the food, service and ambiance was a miss. I ordered the French toast. The bread was DRY and stale. No flavor. Fresh berries on the entree was three slices of strawberries and sliced grapes? Small to say the least and was more of a garnish than topping. Husband ordered breakfast classics. Eggs over easy, toast, potatoes and sausage patty. The sausage was so hard and dry! Eggs and toast were nothing special. Highlight was their smashed potatoes and aioli. Service was MINIMAL. Order at the counter and wait about 20-30 mins for breakfast is just too long. Get your own waters, clear your own plates, coffee cups at their station were all dirty. Tables are not wiped down. Ambiance in cute by the train tracks. Offer indoor/outdoor seating. Indoor is tiny, maybe 5 tables and the outdoor space offers several more picnic benches and small tables. Communal tables outdoors. Unfortunately, we really did t enjoy our meals here and left unsatisfied and hungry. We won't be back and I would not recommend this place. read more

Really wanted to love this place since we are huge fans of the bakery next door. Unfortunately, we had mixed reviews at the table. Winner - challah French toast. Mid - the breakfast platter. Pretty standard plating but the bacon and potatoes were nice and crispy. What fell short - biscuits and gravy was nothing special. Real bummer was the salmon hash, the most expensive meal on the order at $22. The salmon was incredibly salty. Maybe an off day? read more

Stayed at an Airbnb a block away and decided to try this place out for breakfast on our way out. And gosh, we're so happy we did! The quality of our food was outstanding. Great flavors and freshness. Highly recommend the smashed breakfast potatoes and aioli sauce. The service was great and everyone we encountered was kind. It was too warm to sit outside for us so we opted for an inside table which included fresh flowers on it. It's the little things for us. :) A bit smaller inside but still a great vibe for a quick bite to eat for breakfast/ lunch. We will definitely be back on our next trip to town! read more

This was such a fun place for lunch. I loved the small space which didn't feel that small. The curry cauliflower salad was outstanding-- the dressing was mustard based and well tossed on the salad. The grilled chicken was freshly grilled and moist. I wish I had gone back a second day for lunch. Friendly staff as well. Food came out quickly.
