Soup was good and served at right temperature. Sandwich also good. Friendly staff. Service was quick.
Arrived for breakfast early Saturday morning. Food was not fresh, the potatoes seemed stale and tough, the bacon added to my scramble didn't seem quite right, and the toast arrived without butter. A homeless man entered and tried to sit with us, generating high anxiety for our table. An employee shooed then out, but he returned less than 15 minutes later, and the employees failed to do anything for several minutes as he lurked near our table whispering things. Not recommended.
It was a quiet and delicious lunch in the middle of Chicago. I can imagine how crowded this place at night time. Everything looks superb and fundamentally in Chicago. Clean and rich, perfect and stable!!
I got to admit, I first stepped in here to use the bathroom… being a business owner myself, I just “hate” it when folks don’t at least buy something… so I got a chai latté made with soy… it-is-A-mazing!!! The music is chill too… as you can see in the attached video. The 2 employees that took care of me (around 4:20 pm on February 29th) where awesome, I believe Deleon and a young lady… nice way to finish my trip downtown Chicago before I head on back to my paintball park in Quebec Canada! :-) Thanks you to the Corner Bakery for your kindness! Next time, I come visit family, we’ll stop by!
RIP Corner Bakery! I guess if you never visited a Corner Bakery ten-fifteen years ago this would be an okay casual place to pick up a sandwich and a treat, but this is not the Corner Bakery I remember. I decided to treat myself, eagerly anticipating what they might have on offer. What a disappointment! They've gotten rid of their special buffet-style display where we used to eagerly browse their hot selections before choosing something delicious to enjoy. I wasn't in the mood for a sandwich, so I got a slice of cinnamon-cream cake and coffee. Coffee was okay, but the cake was dry and tasteless. So, no more Corner Bakery for me. Only good things were the service and the location.
Great service, good food.
