Tuna sandwich
Sara C.

Really nice new owners and my tuna sandwich was really good! Hit the spot :) Definitely will be coming back

8. Breakfast Burrito - Bacon
Nella B.

I finally stopped by for breakfast this morning, I work nearby and drive past this place almost every day. Location - plenty of parking, easy to spot off Sampson Ambiance - clean, quiet, employees were friendly Service - not too bad, i was in and out under 10 mins. definitely will call in my order next time. Food - ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and an avocado burrito. They were about 6 inches, but the flavor was good! The eggs were nice and fluffy, bacon could have been cooked a little longer - but everyone prefers their bacon differently. I'd come back.

Tiny avocado breakfast burrito.  Very bland.

I ordered an avocado breakfast burrito with added bacon on Grub Hub. It seemed like it took a long time for it to be made. The Grub Hub driver dropped off my burrito and I realized it was cold. It was not warm at all. I put it in the microwave and opened it to discover it was small. My hand is actually bigger than the burrito. I took a bite and it was tasteless and bland. I added salsa...still bland. Salt and pepper...still bland. I got some hot sauce...now it tasted like hot sauce with no other flavor. I will never order a breakfast burrito from this place again. I ordered a salad for lunch and will update once I eat that. Meh.

Sausage egg and cheese English muffin

Small deli we were excited to try out because it is close to home. It was a little warm inside, but it had a cool classic little deli feel to it. The service was great and attentive. We had our two babies with us so it took us some time to order and the employee was super patient with us. We got the western burrito with avocado added and a sausage egg and cheese English muffin sandwich. The sandwich was perfect with melty cheese and crunch on the muffin. The burrito tasted great and the egg was nice and soft, but the bacon didn't have any crunch to it and the potatoes seemed a little underdone. That being said it all tasted great and the price was a deal. We will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu!

The 50. Western Burrito -- so very delicious and probably the most well priced breakfast burrito I've ever purchased
Lucas G.

(Visited 12/15/22) Me and a couple of chums were taking the 91 freeway from Torrance to Big Bear for the weekend to go winter camping for the first time. We were looking to fuel up with a tasty breakfast before we endured a weekend of sub 30° activities and we got hungry passing through Corona. We looked up "food" on Apple Maps as one does and Granite Place Cafe shows up with rave reviews and breakfast burritos. Perfect. We drive up and are surprised to see this odd little corner store built into the same warehouse as like 2 or 3 car mechanics, but that wasn't gonna stop us from getting a taste of those burritos. We walked in and met Chris, a super inviting breath of fresh air standing behind the register. We exchange hellos and order our food (Western Burritos all around) before taking our seat. We start chatting with Chris and before we know it we're exchanging campsites, views, and stories about our times in the wilderness. He's excited to hear what we're attempting and he hooks us up with some great instant spicy ramen that kept us nice and toasty in the snow. By this time our burritos are ready--and they are excellent. Perfect ratio of all ingredients, great flavor, and it comes with a salsa and a chili paste that ties it all together. I also got myself an English muffin sandwich for a few bucks and a Taro smoothie, both of which were super yummy. From the food to the conversation with Chris, our visit to Granite Place Cafe was an incredible success. I would recommend this place to anyone and If I ever head up the 91 to Big Bear again then I will absolutely stop back in for some food and story sharing. TLDR: Food is great, cashier is just as awesome.

After over a year, I finally came back to this location. I didn't want anything except the Pork…read moreBelly Banh Mi sandwich. Once again, I stand by claim that this is the most delicious sandwich there is! Specifically at this location, they have it down right. I tried this sandwich at a different Carrot and Daikon and it just didn't hit the way it does at this Corona location. Maybe I'm crazy, but if you have never tried this spot, try the Pork Belly here. The pork belly crunch followed by the fat that melts in your mouth, complimented with a slightly sweet and mostly savory sauce. Of course the carrot, Daikon, jalapeno and cilantro with the fresh banh mi make this top notch!! Wowza!

Full disclosure: I'm always suspicious of places that straddle the "fusion" food fence. I find…read more"fusion" usually translates to smothering something in an off-the-shelf international aisle sauce or wrapping it in a tortilla. Now, let me be clear, this restaurant does NOT mention the term fusion - at all. However, their menu whispers, "Hey there..." Crispy pork belly, lomo saltado, spam and egg. And, oh, brothers and sisters, they have gotten as close to paying the proper homage to all fusion cultures as I've seen. SPAM AND EGG: I'm chubby so SPAM is like my kryptonite. I had to have it. This sandwich threw me for a look. I'm used to other places overcooking the spam. NOT so at C&D. The spam was juicy. The fried egg was fluffy. The spicy sauce was genuinly spicy. I loved it so much that I've had it twice in three days. CRISPY PORK: I love the Chinese/Filipino Crispy Pork. The pork was nice and juicy. The skin was crunchy. Really great flavor. The only drawback was my own fault...of eating it cold because I had to eat the Spam and Egg sandwich first. LOMO SALTADO: I've got this sandwich sitting on my counter calling to me, in the queue while I finish my 2nd Spam and Egg Sandwich. I will come back to this review later today to fill in this blank. UPDATE: It was good! The meat was soft and juicy. Not quite the lomo saltado meat or flavor I'm used to or would expect, so the sandwich's name is a little misleading, but the flavor is good nonetheless. VIETNAMESE COFFEE (Large): I liked it. Yep. Not as overly sweet as I'm used to at Mr. Bagguette in LA, and that's a great thing. The only drawback is that it has a caffeine KICK. I felt the caffeine flowing through my veins 10 minutes after I took my first sip. Bread: In banh mi, the bread is the make-or-break. Here, the bread is not your typical medium to hard crunchy exterior and soft interior. The bread is on the softer side on the outside. It is a great change in pace for me because I haven't cut the top palette of my mouth like I usually do with harder bread. AND...that means that the sandwich doesn't lose it's character when I ate the sandwich cold later. STAFF: Very friendly! They are there to serve the customer. I've been greeted with a smile and genuine happiness. Great work C&D. You have a customer!

It's a good location and lots of people come here. There were at least a dozen or so orders that…read morecame in after me. I got the #11 Dac Biet, which is basically their house banh mi. The sandwich is good and fresh. They cut it in half for you, so you can share or its easier for you to eat. The sandwich was $10+ and with tax about $11 and some change. Drinks start at about $8 each here. So, prices are a bit high at this location. But the food is still good. Parking is on a shared lot with other businesses. You can get a spot, maybe just parked further out.

I've been to Lee's Sandwiches before, but this was my first time trying the Lee's Coffee Biscoff…read moreand the Biscoff Croissant. Both were amazing, and I'd definitely order them again! My only complaint was the coffee. It came in an 8 oz cup that was packed with ice, so it felt like there were only about 4 oz of actual coffee. Next time, I'll ask for less ice. I'm also not a huge sweets person, so ordering both the coffee and the croissant together ended up being a little too much sugar for me. Even so, each item was delicious on its own. The staff was friendly, the music selection was great, and the laid back atmosphere made the wait feel shorter than it actually was. Service was quick, too. I'll definitely be back for another Lee's Coffee Biscoff this time with less ice! I'll keep you all updated after my next visit. Crossing my fingers I'm not paying for another cup of ice lol.

Came to Greek Street Grill randomly and this turned out to be a solid find…read more The service was on point, portions were generous, and everything was reasonably priced. Even though it was busy it was easy to find a spot to sit. The place was very clean. I got the gyro sandwich and the meat was tender, flavorful, and they definitely don't skimp on it. We also tried the spicy feta fries and those were really good. The fries were nice and crispy and the feta dip had a nice flavor to it with some olive notes mixed in. Definitely a good combo. Overall, good food, good portions, good service, and you're not spending a fortune. Sometimes the random spots end up being the best finds. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area.

Greek Street Grill has been on my list for some time now due to the raving reviews I kept hearing…read moreabout it. I finally had the chance to visit this past weekend. It's located in a plaza with plenty of parking and there is plenty of seating indoors as well. The ambiance is clean and casual, felt almost like a fast food place. You order at the counter and the workers will bring the food to your table. For food, I tried the chicken souvlaki plate with their fries and salad. I also got the calamari appetizer. The calamari was delicious. Crispy, tasty, juicy. The chicken souvlaki plate unfortunately fell short of my expectations. While the fries were crispy and the salad was good, the chicken was really dry and lacked flavor. My brother got the chicken and steak pita and thought the same thing for both proteins.
