Oh my gosh, love! I've been wanting to try this spot since it opened in historic, downtown Glendale. They have quite a lot of seating for a cafe/bakery so it was nice and relaxing to sit and eat my blueberry lemon muffin. Which heads up, it was HUGE. I also got a cold brew with honey lavender and some whole milk. Quite good. They also have sourdough bread and will slice it for you! Honestly the service gets all the stars on this review. They were super friendly and engaging and seemed to take a lot of pride in their bakery. Please go and support them if you're near!

If you are ever within the Glendale area, please stop on by this amazing indigenous-owned small bakery and cafe! My boyfriend and I had this on our "cafe hopping" bucket list, as we saw this ranked number #24 for the "Top 100 Coffee Shops" within the US. We had a trip out to Phoenix for a concert (We are from Las Vegas), and remembered that this cafe was really close by. So, we had our expectations set high, and let me tell you, this place went above and beyond anything we expected. I want to start off by showing appreciation to all the people there. Shoutout to Trevor, Monique, and Natalie for delivering excellent service and being just the best. They were not only so kind, but funny and made the cafe feel like a second home. It was our first time in the bakery and within Phoenix in general, and they made us feel so welcomed. They offered samples, and even a free pastry or two. That type of service and kindness is rare, so I want to show my gratitude for their hospitality. Besides the great people there, they have AMAZING pastries and drinks. My boyfriend and I were quite speechless during our time there, as every item we sipped on or took a bite out of was perfection. For our drinks, my boyfriend ordered a Passionfruit Jasmine Tea and I got the Desert Pear refresher with Lotus Energy. The tea was divine, as it was herbal and sweet. The refresher? REFRESHING. It definitely gave me an energy boost, and fun fact: it's a healthier plant-based alternative! Now for the food we tried, and we did try a LOT, so buckle up. The Ube Muffin was our favorite. It was rich and sweet, so it felt like I was eating something out of my childhood as I myself am Filipino. The Chocolate Mousse Dome was heavenly decadent. The Cherry Tart was fruity and not too sweet which was amazing. The Spinach and Feta quiche was savory, which complimented all the sweet treats we got. Their in-house baked Sourdough bread is beyond delicious, which paired well with their soup of the day, which was Tomoto Bisque. The Caprese Panini was amazing, and it also paired greatly with the soup. Lastly, my other favorite, the Gluten-Free Honey Lavender Cheesecake. I am not at all a cheesecake person, but this was my favorite thing ever. It was light and subtle, yet sweet and refreshing. I could go on and on about the food, so we took some home for the road as well. Again, please visit this amazing bakery and cafe for yourself. There is amazing people, delicious food, and refreshing drinks waiting for you here. I personally can't wait to come back and try more things!!!

The Protectors of the Salt River, after a Sunday Stinknet eradication effort were fed by Blue Corn. Some months later, visuting Glendale, we stopped in at the home Restaurant. It is mostly bakery, woth delicious baked goods, with a minor in other edibles, plus coffee. We got croissants and a muffin, carrot cake or zucchini. This is a very clean, very busy dining and baked goods buting space. We'll return

About to try this bacon spinach quiche
Astrid H.

Actually found this lovely spot on Yelp and was amazed by the reviews so we had to stop in. Immediately we were welcomed coming into the door and caught the variety of sandwiches and quiches available in a glass container. The store is long, and there is seating area in front and then in the back past the counter where you pay. But as we waited in line (looked busy-ish for a Sunday midday) we continued to get more mouth watering sensations with the treats we kept seeing. We were offered fresh sourdough to try, which was SO GOOD, and so we knew we had to purchase a loaf to take home! But what we ended up trying was the bacon breakfast sandwich (2), and the spinach bacon quiche. Also ordered a hazelnut latter, a tuxedo cappuccino and a peppermint mocha cappuccino too! All of what we ordered was DELICIOUS! The quiche was probably the best quiche I've had, it was fluffy eggs on the inside, so nicely seasoned and the outside crust was perfectly crisp. We wished we'd ordered another to try but it was actually enough. The breakfast sandwich they toast for you and so that came out nice and hot too, the gooey cheese inside was so great, and they serve you hot sauce at the table and that just gave it an extra yummy little kick to the already amazing brek items we ordered. Lastly, we decided to try the biscoff cheesecake and unfortunately didn't even get a pic of it, it was soooo goooood! The take home sourdough was fantastic, just had it this morning with some eggs for brek and there's just something about it that just tasted amazing! We'll be back but you'd be finding yourself a regular go-to spot if you choose to come here. You'll definitely leave beyond satisfied! Thank you, Blue Corn Cafe & -Bakery!!

Muffin case
Brooke K.

I found this place on instagram originally and had it on my list to try! My husband and I finally made it in on a Saturday and had a great experience. We got the tomato basil quiche and lemon blueberry muffin to share (plus a couple coffee's) both were great! The blueberry Leon muffin was huge and bursting with fresh blueberry when you cut into it. Can't wait to try more flavors. Best part was the pastry chef was coming by adding to the case and he said hello & gave us a lavender crustless cheesecake he was finishing up. Wow - the whipped topping on the cheesecake was amazing. And customer service in general. We got to chat with him on our way out too. He is big on local and fresh ingredients which we appreciate. Definitely will be back!

Carrot cake
Deseray G.

We made a last minute stop right before they closed, and it was such a great experience! The service was amazing, the vibes were on point, and we felt really welcomed. Definitely coming back Thank you for the great customer service! *noticed a lot of room to chill in case anyone is looking for a spot for some good coffee and study time

Key lime dome and (warm) lemon blueberry muffin
Sonya P.

We can't rave enough out this little gem!! 10/10 RECOMMEND!! The warm lemon blueberry muffin had the best crunchy, chewy texture!!! I have never had a muffin so superb!! That slightly crunchy chewy texture will have me returning again and again!! My daughter got the key lime dome!!! Which had a chocolate crunch shell with amazing moose inside!!! So pretty, almost too pretty to dig into!! 10/10 recommend this little spot. (Coffee and matcha was where they fell short, but I'm not taking any stars off because bakery items are too die for!!! This is just room to grow and I have faith they will!!) Give them a try!! (Not pictured the Ube cheese cake tart!!! So fresh, creamy, texture again SPOT FREAKING ON, gourmet look!! How have we lived near by so long and this is our first time trying out the bakery. Nick said they are opening other locations and even a quick grab and go. I'm so excited to have this little gem on my side of town to patronize!!!

This was really good too beautiful to eat
Yani R.

Zucchini muffin, carrot cake, jalapeño cheddar bread
Jessica A.

We stopped into this bakery after brunch. The zucchini bread was so warm and fluffy. The carrot cake was absolutely amazing! The breads were so light and fluffy. My son had a red velvet cookie and he absolutely devoured it. The service was quick and great. We were able to meet the owner/chef. He was great and told us about each dish. I would love to see more colors in the bakery; the decor is mainly blue and white. Overall we had a great experience.

Sandwich Board

Gotta say - I have not spent much time in downtown Glendale. Was pleasantly surprised when I ran across Blue Corn Cafe. Stopped in to get a coffee, but ended up with a muffin and a coffee. The service is fast and fast friendly, the vibe is mellow and welcoming, and the baked good were delicious. The selection of baked goods was quite good - cookies, cakes, muffins, croissants, and macarons. I opted from a blueberry muffin - it was tall and full of blueberries. The outside was nicely crispy as well. Almond milk latte (iced) was good as well. The rest of the pastries looked really good, but no way was I getting through more than one.. N*joy!

The desserts were fresh and tasty. Plus they had a variety of coffee, sandwiches and muffins. I recommend and will revisit.

I saw this place on google while looking for blue corn recipes little did I know it was a short drive away I went the same day. Such a quaint, calming little bakery with beautiful native art that makes the space feel warm and welcoming. The owner I believe his name was Alex was incredibly friendly and we even got to see fresh quiche being made while we were there. Everything we tried was delicious! From the sandwiches to the five different desserts we sampled. I can't wait to come back and try more of their blue corn specialties!

Pastries and quiches!
Vernee D.

We have an event in Glendale, but wanted to get some treats beforehand. I've had this place on my list for a while and I'm glad we finally made it! It has such a quaint and darling charm inside and outside! All of their food items are in the front, but unfortunately there's no menu board by the register! So you can either ask incessantly what they have or already know what you want. The service was very nice though and they were handing out free samples for the customers to try! There is a lot of seating - some of it mismatched lol but it's cool. As for the food - omg! The strawberry rose muffin is SO GOOD!! We also ordered the lemon cookie, and two breakfast croissant sandwiches to go. My husband ordered a strawberry lemonade - also very good, sweet like candy. I ordered the strawberry vanilla latte which was a nice touch of berry flavor. I would love to come back again!

Hello there, we do not have a delivery service because everything sells out at various times of the day. However, we will be open 7-days per week from 10-2 each day for your convenience 😊

I do not see a pricing menu?

You are correct. The menu changes daily, so there is no menu posted as different items are available each day.

I visited at opening time on Memorial Day Monday and was immediately captivated by the colorful and…read morequirky environment, with playful and clever artwork and decor, and both indoor and outdoor seating available. Great music playing in the background set the mood, songs like Knock Three Times and Song Sung Blue by Neil Diamond. The lady who helped me place my order, possibly the owner, was so sweet. Patient too, as I made my selections. It was hard to choose what to get as the shop has so many appetizing sweet and savory options on the menu. I ended up getting a chocolate milkshake and a 6-pack of oatmeal cookies I was able to take home and share, including chocolate chip (no nuts), chocolate walnut, peanut butter dark chocolate cashew, dark chocolate pecan, dark chocolate cashew, and oatmeal raisin with pecans (they have a nut-free version too). The taste of everything was phenomenal. The shake had the perfect consistency and a strong chocolatey flavor, yet wasn't too sweet. And the cookies were nice and chewy and loaded with delicious chunks of nuts and chocolate. Honestly, I couldn't really tell the difference between the nut and chocolate combo flavors as the oatmeal was really the highlight. The peanut butter one and oatmeal raisin were more recognizable. ALL of them were amazing!

Ordering is done at the back, and the tables up front make the perfect spot to sit, relax, and chat while enjoying your treats. Their menu is seriously impressive, with everything from coffee, smoothies, tea, and handspun milkshakes to savory lunch items like burgers, hot dogs, and wings, plus an incredible lineup of baked goodies including cookies, pie, cupcakes, cake pops, macarons, muffins, and more. I tried the sugar‑free dark chocolate goji berry gluten‑free cookie and WOW--it was delicious. The milkshakes are next‑level rich and creamy; my son couldn't get enough of his caramel shake. The savory lunch items looked so good coming out--perfect comfort‑food options that smelled amazing and made us immediately start planning our next visit.The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and patient, which we really appreciated since it was our first time and we took a while to decide. This place has such a fun, cozy, welcoming vibe, and we are absolutely coming back to try the lunch menu next time. Highly recommend checking it out!
