Got the Breakfast Sandwich with Sausage. Very enjoyable. I had the bagel substituted with a croissant. The croissant was crispy, flaky and buttery. The gentleman behind the counter confirmed that the croissant was made in house. Good amount of cheesy gooeyness in the sandwich. Dining is available inside plus some tables outside. Ordering can be done at the register or via kiosk. TCS is located in the middle of a residential area. I went there on a Sunday morning and did not have any issues finding parking in the street. Service was very friendly, helpful and prompt.

Super cute hidden gem! Glad I got to try it, they have pretty basic "cafe" food items like pastries and breakfast sandwiches, coffee etc. I ended up ordering a breakfast sandwich, and was able to substitute the bagel it comes on for a croissant which was really nice of them to do for me, along with a regular latte, it all tasted really good! Our food came out at a reasonable time but the drinks did take quite a while, however the worker formally apologized to us & said that's not typical for them & it just so happen to get busy right behind us, which was true! but I really appreciated her taking a moment to apologize for something she had not a lot of control over, that gave me really good vibes & is a 10/10 customer service for me! Would definitely come back here for the nice chill environment and to try other things from their menu! :)

Our eBike Group stopped here today for lunch. The food was very good. We had everything from wraps to sandwiches along with different drinks and the service was excellent. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We already talked about going here on a regular basis.

Great environment! The staff is really nice!!! But my order was completed wrong. Ordered a chorizo bagel sandwich and got a sausage bagel that was burnt a bit!?

The corner Store may not be 100% back but the new owners apparently were gifted the old giraffe and they had some music scheduled! I appreciated the previous owners changing some things like opening the side yard, but I was lost when the Sailor's Delight fell off the menu. I can say it's back! It tastes great - maybe a tad smaller than before - but it and chips with a Dads Root Beer was great. Some benches to sit at. A great start! Not many "odd/ interesting sodas" but the Portuguese Blend was really good too.

I've been coming to this cute and nostalgic place called The Corner Store for over 20years and it pained my heart to see my childhood diminish owner after owner. BUT I am happy to say that I really think this new owner David seems to be putting in the necessary work to revive The Corner Store & I couldn't be happier ! My friend and I stopped by today and ordered 2 iced horchata lattes, a chorizo breakfast burrito and some baked goods. Definitely excited for what is to come. The breakfast burrito was delicious & so are the Italian sodas they make! Croissant Cinnamon roll warmed up; yes please !! MUST be warmed up though! Go show them some love and support!

I took my husband to The Corner Store for Father's Day and we had a great meal. We had the opportunity to meet the new owner, David. Congratulations to you and your team. The ladies made great food suggestions. We will be sure to get the breakfast burrito next time. All of their baked goods are prepared in house.

I grew up in SoCal and unfortunately now live in the Bay Area. The Bay Area is a soulless, over priced, and hostile environment. Breakfast burritos in the Bay are never good, always $20, and when you ask for salsa they inevitably answer with -- is Tabasco ok? No. No it's not ok. What a huge relief to be back in SoCal, order a beautiful breakfast burrito, with a smile, and are given not just one salsa but two types. Treasure Corner Store and life in SoCal. PS Only recommendation is maybe add some more grocery like items to the store / deli items for more sandwich options.

Beach charms for your kitchen!

This place was such a hidden gem on our beach walk the other day great people local charm! Food was wonderful the service was literally perfect. The cashier was talking with the kids who were ordering ice cream one of them couldn't open his soda and she overheard and immediately zoomed in to help. This will be a regular stop of mine. Also pet friendly (they insisted on a treat for my pup) and they keep tons of local items, including jams and honey's and clothing to support locals!

inside of the coffee shop

this is pretty cool spot, nice service as well. The Matcha is nice and the coffee is strong in the best way possible.

We loved this spot ! What is happening to it ?

What is going on with the corner store that we loved and adored for many years ? It's a gem and the energy is odd now, the love felt sucked out of here , it's running low on many supplies and they aren't offering the same quality baked goods and items. There's a sign in the window that says for sale and the young lady at the counter said that it got sold to new owners and she's not sure what is happening ? Does anybody know what they're going to do with this place of neighborhood love and years of a personal touch to our community? We are so sad on what it looks like inside with empty shelves , hardly and desserts - it's lost it charm and neighborhood vibes. The food was not the same either. I could say so much more but this is really sad is best. ;(

The corner store in San Pedro is my favorite go to for breakfast burritos. What really set them apart from others is their spicy salsa!!!!

I love this place and have been coming here for years. Consistent quality food. They have what…read moreyou're looking for. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner is covered with this place. Yep! Not only do they have all the sandwiches that you could be craving, but they have an extensive breakfast menu served all day (breakfast burrito is my go to at all hours of the day), multiple salads (Cobb salad is bomb), tacos, dogs, and burgers all served in different ways to satisfy that craving you've had for days. There is this one incident that really hits home with me several years back. On my way to work, I work nights, I ordered via Yelp as always, and as I'm pulling up the shop, I realize I don't have my wallet. @#%$!! I'm friggen hungry, I look at my watch, I don't have time to go back home and get my wallet and still make it to work on time. I decide to walk in and tell them that I'm sorry to have ordered what I did and not have the means to pay for it. I'm thinking, what a waste of food! So, I walk in and I tell the owner what happened and that I apologize. Before I can walk out he says, "Hey, that's ok. I recognize you and things happen. Go ahead and take it and get me next time." Wow! Amazing! NO ONE DOES THAT ANYMORE! Now I'm not saying these guys are going to give you free food, but I will say they have HEART. A lot of establishes have lost heart, but they have it! So that's my feel good story for the year. Enjoy that bomb sandwich land tell 'em Sarge from down at the docks sent ya!

Wow. I can't believe their rating is so low! It was a great sandwich! And a great experience. I…read moreordered over the phone, and the lady was efficient and pleasant. When I got there, my sandwich was ready, and it was easy to pick up. How fortunate are we that there are some incredible options for sandwiches in this area. BB, Pirozzi's and Saloon. To me, the best of the bunch is Pirozzi's. This sandwich was expensive. I think $19.95 for a large. At the old pricing, I would never go back to Jersey Mike's because the Saloon is better but being so expensive, it's a consideration now. So, I have a new rating system......I will write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work."

I can't believe I slept on this gem of a restaurant for years before giving it a try…read more Nowadays, when I do come in I switch between the #75 and #76. The Reuben with corned beef and the Reuben with pastrami. Both plates come with your choice of a salad and pickles. I recommend the potato salad; it's my culinary guilty pleasure. Truthfully, I don't get that much a smoky taste from the pastrami, but it's still delicious. That corned beef is so wonderful, it's so tender and falls apart so easily upon a bite. Their soda menu is a very lowkey, unsung hero. I've tried soda brands you don't typically see in grocery stores. Their ginger ale hits the spot without fail each time. I think one drawback is that this place doesn't allow adjustments. I've personally never asked for any, but I can see how other customers might find that off-putting. I typically do a pick-up order vs. dining in, but when I do enjoy the sandwich in the restaurant - the service is super quick and cordial. The interior of the place itself isn't exactly upscale, but it's also more polished than a standard diner. TONS of seating inside and a few tables outside if you want to enjoy your food with some fresh air. I'm not in New York often, but I'm so glad I can get some quality food with east coast hospitality locally.

This is a huge deli in Torrance, and there is plenty of seating. Because they open at 10 AM, it's…read moremore of a lunch and dinner restaurant. Walking up to the restaurant, I noticed there were many outdoor patio tables lining the sidewalk. The deli counter is the first thing you see when you walk in, but there's a huge indoor dining area. The sign states to seat yourself, so as soon as I seated myself, staff provided me with a menu. I ordered a coffee and hot pastrami sandwich on rye bread which comes with a choice of salad. I chose the cucumber salad. The pastrami sandwich was huge. It was packed with a lot of high quality, tender pastrami meat. The plate also comes with a side of pickles, so yes, I was full afterwards. My coffee cup was always filled, tasted good, and hot. The two staff that were waiting on all the tables were friendly and efficient. There was never a moment I felt neglected. It's prefect for both small and large groups. Parking: Free, shared strip mall. Crowded, small parking spaces.

Classics San Pedro - Pastrami Sandwich. Pretty good. A bit juicy and soaked the roll but I liked it :)

Okay ! I have been avoiding this place because I loved Spiros ! BUT I ordered it via Uber Eats…read moretoday. I got the burrito with all the meats but requested not to have ham and if I could replace it with either asada or chorizo and to my surprised they did !!!!...okay this is an extreme honest review ! Because I love breakfast burritos and because I truly think this place can have one of the best Bfast burritos if they work on some things...let me start of with the green salsa, honestly sucks ! Very bland, almost watered down (easy fix) ... the burrito was good but a little disappointing in a weird way !!!!, Listen !!!! Oddly enough it had asada trough every bite ! Plenty of sausage and bacon cooked to perfection ! But even though it didn't lack protein for some reason it was still not "packed"...trust me I'm confused as well ! "How can it have plenty of protein/meats but still be empty or soggy?" ... I have no clue ? But I'm not bashing it ! I truly think if they figure out how to pack it in better, maybe more egg and potatos? (Be careful because too much potato can kill it) ... also do not be afraid to season the eggs and potato's....a 10/10 breakfast burritos is usually packed ! When you hold it there's no flop or empty hollow tortilla.... I want to highlight again I'm not bashing it !!! It is a good burrito but can be worked on if you want it to be "top breakfast burrito in the southbay"... I give it a 7.7/10 at the moment ! Once they can Jam Pack it like ALL great breakfast burritos and work on their salsa I can see people traveling all over the southbay for this, also don't be afraid of seasoning! I know it's risky because some cooks over do it. Over all the hate for classics do to spiros legacy is not valid to me! This place was good and the fact they replaced the ham with asada shows they care. Hopefully this review didn't come off as hate because it's the complete opposite! I truly think this can be an amazing breakfast burrito !
