Nice location with lots of seating inside and outside. Parking lot has many stalls. Staff is friendly and helpful. I ordered the pancakes which were good (6/10) and DC Chicken Sandwich, also good (7/10). However, I didn't get the side order of fruit that comes with the DC Chicken Sandwich. Found out too late in the hotel room. Very disappointed. read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - Window Signs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Deborah and I went to lunch here today because it was close to the Audi dealership where we turned her car back in and she has always liked it so often we went. The part we liked is parking is super easy and big, there's outside dining and inside dining so if you want to take advantage of a nice day this is a good spot. Service today was OK, the order was taken, and when it was delivered, it looked pretty. It just tasted different than the menu inferred. It would taste. My wife's Italian was super spicy, my chicken sandwich didn't really have much flavor. When I say the chips were the best thing we had that's not great. When we left, I tried to get a box but most of the employees were sitting at tables eating their lunch. I mean, everyone gets to have lunch so I don't mean that they shouldn't eat lunch just struck me as odd that no one was buying the counter. The baked goods looked fantastic and if I go back, I think I will start with a cream cheese muffin, which looked fabulous. read more

Definitely should have looked at reviews prior to ordering online. I went online and ordered a smoked ham and Swiss cheese sandwich 26th Lay's Kettle Chips and a coke. I also ordered an enchilada soup with half a turkey sandwich with Lay's Kettle chips and a dragonfruit Arnold palmer. I waited inside and the guy asked me if u was waiting an online order while helping the customers. Tight that was cool of him siince I didn't mind waiting. The place had a dark ambiance but the furniture was nice. Where i waited, the table was dirty. I noticed they pick up your plates here since i didn't see any trash cans. They use real silverware. And it's nice that they have an outside seating area. He gave me my ordered and before leaving i went to grab spoons, napkins, and condiments. In my search, there were no utensils to take. I got the coke by myself. I figured they had to put napkins and a spoon in the bag because it was an online order for pick up. I get inside my car and drive to the dealership. I'm starving and I'm waiting for my mom to come. She gets undue the car and I open the bag and there are no spoons. I didn't grab a spoon when I was there because I didn't see any available. The turkey sandwich was good though. But lo and behold, I'm missing a second bag of chips. Why is this order almost $40 & wrong?? My mom gave me her chips and I munched on them while drinking my Arnold palmer. The drink was great. I'm assuming that the ham and Swiss wasn't that good since she took 2 bites and told me to give it to my dog. This was my first time cooking and will be my last. I eat Corner Bakery often enough through catering from La JJolla at work and I guess that's the only way it'll be truly decent. Quite disappointed in this in person experience. read more

3rd time I've ordered a soup and gotten a mixture of multiple soups I can't even make this up.

I came in for a soup and bread. I liked the texture of the bread and the quality of cookies were good. I wanted to bring some home to snack on and they had mini cookies to-go for a reasonable price. A great place for a deli experience in a mall. I enjoyed the cookies from the cafe. The mocha I had was the right foam to my liking. read more

we don't often get out for breakfast much because of our staggered and hectic morning schedules. I've usually been up a couple of hours writing by the time my seventeen-year old drags his butt into the weight room, and it's a couple of hours after that before my wife staggers into the kitchen for a cup of coffee. she's more of a night person. anyway, while my new knee's on the mend, my enthusiasm for spending the morning in front of the stove has waned. one Saturday the boy slept in (late night with his crew) and the wife was on her way home from an early notary, she texted and asked if I wanted her to pick up breakfast. not sure what everybody else had (two weeks post surgery I ate in bed) but my CHICKEN POMODORI (panini grilled sourdough chicken sandwich with provolone, basil, spinach, oven-roasted tomatoes, and pesto aioli) was pretty darn good. read more

I woke up looking forward to Corner Bakery's good ole fashion oatmeal as I waited for my car to get serviced at a nearby dealership. There was a wait when I placed my order. I thought oatmeal was something easy to put together. I wondered what was the hold up. Finally, someone called my name. As I was stirring the contents, I suddenly lost my appetite when I noticed a plastic lid container was left on the bottom of my hot oatmeal bowl. I returned it with the quickness and asked for a refund. :-( read more

ordered the choose 2 for 15.99 with the berry crisp salad listed as one of the options. got a $1.59 surcharge on the bill. the manager said too bad, it's a seasonal item. it's always on the menu and is permanently displayed on the menu sign. very rude. read more

So, I like the breakfast options, even though chain restaurants leave a lot to be desired. I like the chilled oats with berries mostly, it's a nice change, although the amount you get has been cut in half recently. I do get pissed off every time I go because they're the last remaining company that keeps sugar etc for coffee behind the counter. So inconvenient, so ridiculous. I visited my Corner Bakery in Carlsbad, Ca., which I do a couple times a week, and the employee at the cash register handed me a round yellow coffee cup with a weird smiley face on it. She said that whenever I bring the cup in, my coffee would be free. I like free stuff. But... In order to bring the cup in to the restaurant, I would have to carry it in my truck. Being the cup is glass and breakable (dumb decision on CB's part), it wouldn't fare well in my truck. Being it is round and doesn't fit a cup holder (really dumb decision on CB's part), I would have to toss it in the center console, where it would break on day one. I did try the cup while I had my breakfast, and I found that the shape is rounded at the top, causing the coffee to drip down your chin and onto your shirt. Embarrassing. Probably the reason that no one ever designs a coffee cup in that shape. I was just wondering who the moron was that chose this very special coffee cup that Corner Bakery is using to generate more business? I enjoy meeting ridiculously stupid people, they're so entertaining. I'd love to meet the moron, maybe have breakfast, and a free cup of coffee in a breakable round coffee cup with a smiley face on it that drips on your shirt. read more

Tired of paying top dollar for food and it doesn't taste good or is missing items. Ordered cavatappi with marinara and don't waste your time the marinara is flavorless. We're missing our mac and cheese with our order, we ordered croutons on the side and they we're thrown in the soup anyway, ordered extra french bread advertised as two pieces which was extra. We were given the two pieces but are missing the bread that comes with the other pasta orders, and the coffee we ordered definitely wasn't Caramel Macchiato. Alot of these restaurants don't put care into their to go orders and this is by far the worst mess up for me this year. Their prices don't match their service at all! Don't be fooled into ordering from here you will surely be disappointed!!! read more

I had time to kill while my car got serviced and was starving... so I gave corner bakery a shot. The food seemed really expensive but the breakfast wrap was reasonably priced ($8.50ish), so I ordered it with a drink. I was craving a wrap and this hit the spot but it's wasn't the best thing I've ever had. Decent for a chain restaurant. Pretty basic (eggs, cheese, avo and spinach) but nicely balanced. Giving it 3 stars because the inside was dreary and kind of messy. The service was fine but nothing to write home about. I'd come back here if I was in a pickle but not going to go out of my way to eat here again. read more

Looks like people already know this location is bad. My Order was sitting on the counter when I arrived, but not bagged up. The restaurant was not crowded, but dirty dishes on many empty tables. Nobody at front counter. Phone rang unanswered constantly while I was there. I waited 15 min for them to get me my food. Soup was cold. Fruit was slimy with brown apples. Won't be back. read more

We asked to get table cleand a woman said yes Immediately after another customer Ass if they're table can be Cleared off forcing us to wait. By this time I was already At the counter demanding a refund and left the establishment.Never coming here again read more

A NO for Vegans. No vegan breakfast menu items. Everything has milk or eggs or meat, no plant based meat, no substitutes, like MorningStar vegan bacon or impossible meat. Only liquid items drinks like tea. When googled "corner bakery vegan menu items?" it showed several items, but the cashier said that's only the special catering menu ordered in advance or the later lunch menu which gives only one option hummus with vegetables. Nicely designed franchise, good location, seating indoor and outdoor close bathroom with keypad lock for entry customers only. Close, easy parking. But no vegan if you are vegan or you have a vegan in your corporate group this is NOT the place to come for breakfast meetings or lunch meetings. In this modern day and age, this franchise, like the rest in California and national wide, needs to conform to updated health standards so the service all members of the community, especially the health, focused and medical dietary restricted customers. Doctors, dietitians, nutritionist, physical trainers, personal trainers can't recommend establishments that won't offer upgraded heart healthy, body conscious people including Olympic athletes amateur, professional athletes, club, competitive high school athletes, models, actors, tv personalities who have been advised by doctors and coaches to conform to a vegetarian or all vegan diet, developing lifelong health habits to maintain higher level of physical efficiency as per their performance or employment contracts. Go Vegan. It's easy to add a vegan gluten-free bread with avocado toast. There are loads of recipes all over social media and the Internet for vegan baked products so simple even home cooks can make them with grocery store ingredients. If that is the case, there's no reason a commercial kitchen with access to special wholesale ingredients can't provide for this growing segment of the educated health-conscious public. He didn't even extend the courtesy of offering me a glass of ice water, or a complementary, herbal tea to compensate for their menu, shortcomings. Left hungry and empty handed. Sad because I used to frequent this franchise and schedule meeting here before necessary food restrictions/diet health habits became mandatory for me and others. No Açaí fruit bowls either. read more

Love this place. My wife and I come all the way from SD. The service is always top notch. I recommend this place

I really enjoy eating the Corner Bakery Cafe Food on their menu, especially their delicious sandwiches, pastas, desserts, iced coffee and soft drinks. I placed my online order from this FREE Door Dash Pass Service. I ordered (3 Items) from the Corner Bakery Cafe today. My (first order) was the BBLT (Bacon, Balsamic, Lettuce & Tomato) Panini Sandwich. The BBLT Sandwich included: the oven Roasted Turkey, 4 slices of the crispy Applewood Bacon, sliced Tomatoes, Lettuce, 2 added slices of the Yellow Cheddar Cheese, the extra charge is 75 cents, 4 slices of the Avocados, this extra charge is $2.00. The Black Pepper Balsamic with the Aioli Spread on the two slices of the Mother's (White) Bread on a warm toasted Panini Sandwich. Included with this order, I get to choose one soft drink. I selected the (20 ounces) of the regular size Sprite Soft Drink is one of my favorite soft drinks. The price is $20.49. My (second order) I wanted to order a dessert. I love Lemon flavored desserts. I ordered the one quantity of the Sweet and Tangy Lemon Bar with the Confectioner's Sugar that is sprinkled on top for this added flavor. The price is $4.99. I also ordered the New Cold Brew Coffee. The flavor I ordered was the one medium size cup of the Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew Iced Coffee. The price is $5.09. The subtotal is $30.57. The delivery fee is usually $2.99 but it was waived and I was not charged a fee because I am signed up still for this FREE Door Dash Pass Service for one month until the end of this February 28, 2022. The service fee is normally $4.59 but I was only charged the fee of $1.53. I received a great discounted price for me being on this FREE Door Dash Pass Service. The sales tax was $2.37. The dasher tip that was chosen for me already for Harley. I agreed to pay Harley this really expensive tip for $9.00 due to my home is really a long commute from the Corner Bakery Cafe. My total bill was $43.47. This total cost was charged to my credit card bill today. I received a text message alert from the Door Dash.com delivery service telling me that Harley this woman has picked up my order at the Corner Bakery Cafe at11:26 a.m. Then this Door Dash.com text messaged me again and this customer service rep. told me that Harley is on her way driving to my house and she will arrive at my home to deliver my (3 Items order) at 12:08 p. m. Harley arrived on time and I opened up my front door to receive my order from Harley. Harley was very friendly to me when she handed me my order at my front door. I talked to Harley fora few minutes. Harley told me she is from Colorado but she has worked as a Door Dash delivery driver for 2 years now. Harley said she enjoys her job. I brought my order from the Corner Bakery Cafe into my house and then I started to unpack my (4 Items) order. I placed the BBLT Sandwich on a plate with the one regular size Sprite Soft Drink and the one medium size cup of the New Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew Iced Coffee on my dining room table. I got ready to eat this BBLT Sandwich. This BBLT Sandwich was really delicious and very flavorful. I love Applewood Bacon strips in my sandwiches. My dessert I ate the Sweet and Tangy Lemon Bar. It has a lightly sweet yet a tart flavor at the same time with the added confectioner's sugar it is a great combination. This Sweet and Tangy Lemon Bar was very really delicious. it is worth the price. The Sprite Soft drink is very refreshing and has a lemon and lime flavor. The New Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew Iced Coffee is very good and I enjoyed drinking this New Cold Brew Vanilla Sweet Cream Iced Coffee. I received excellent customer service from my Door Dash Delivery Service from Harley and I also ate really delicious food from the Corner Bakery Cafe. . read more

I've seen this before next to the roadrunner athletic shop but haven't been. I was hungry, so I stopped in. There was no one at the counter to greet customers.. but to be fair, it was mid afternoon . I perused the menu, which was good-sized and decided on my order. A polite young man took my order, and I seated myself. There was easy listening music overhead with Doobie brothers playing Black Water..food came up pretty quickly, and I was happy with the size and quality of the club panini.. and fresh fruit cup . the half sandwiches and soup or salad looked good also, so next time, I need to check them out. Outdoor patio seating is also available, so that is tempting if you have a pet.Good first impression! read more

Very impressed with my delivery order! They have a family meal online which was a great price, and when it arrived they got everything correct even down to the sauces. Mac and cheese was very creamy and so delicious, large portion too! Both sandwiches were fantastic and packed with fresh ingredients and flavor. The salad was also very fresh and wonderful, the vinaigrette was a little spicy though! Overall absolutely delicious meal for a fantastic price, I will definitely order from here again! read more

Honestly one of my favorite locations of this chain and always a stop when I'm at Carslbad Outlets! Food: Stopped in for afternoon snacks today, strawberry lemonades along with chocolate muffin, cinnamon crunch muffin, and chocolate croissant. I loved each bakery item! My mom really enjoyed the fresh strawberry lemonade. Food was ready quickly, tasted fresh. Service: wonderful service! It's so easy to use rewards here and I love that they always greet you and make it a pleasant experience. The restuarant is super clean and quiet too! There's both indoor and outdoor seating with restrooms available for customers. Parking: There's a parking lot right in front with plenty of spots. This is a family friendly restuarant and definitely worth stopping by! read more

I love their salads and coffees. I got a hot chocolate last night it was so good and warmed me quickly!

Well the coffee is good. This location is across the street from the Carlsbad Outlet Mall. It is busy. But the food we had, the Breakfast Croissant, seemed microwaved. The croissant was chewy, doughy, but it should have been flakey. With a name like "Corner bakery," one would expect the breads to be exceptionally perfect. The cinnamon roll was excellent. read more

Have been going for breakfast weekly for a few years. Food is good, but in the winter it can be unbearably cold. When asked, the staff says nothing can be done on orders from the manager. Drinking tons of hot coffee doesn't really help when the rest of you is cold. Written this place off during the winter. Stan B. read more

The service is good. The food is OK, but for some reason, the manager has the air conditioning on early in the morning when they first open and it continues to blow cold air on all the tables. It's very uncomfortable. We are told that the reason for that is because the people that work in the kitchen are too hot and they're trying to make them comfortable. We've complained several times but to no avail. I don't think that I can stand it any longer and her gonna find someplace else to go. Very sad. Justanoldguy read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - Every table was dirty! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carlsbad, California

The Corner Bakery was a breakfast go to for eggs and toast. But this place isn't what it used to be. The tables are all sticky, they never seemed to be wiped down, the chairs and floors are full of crumps. As you eat you have to hear an alarm go off every other minute as other customers are getting notified their meal is ready. That alarm is annoying!!! The potatoes are undercooked with a rubbery texture. As we ate we stared out the window watching sparrows and crows eat the left over food on the outdoor tables that were never picked up the whole time we were there. I hope you can bring this place back to its glory days because right now I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

It was fast and good food! The pesto pasta dish was delicious and still warm since I ordered pick up.

I will start with the good - the food here was delicious! (That's where the good ends) Unfortunately, the portions they served were an absolute joke (as you can see via the picture I've posted) and didn't even remotely resemble an entree, let alone the price I was charged! When I brought up how cheated I felt the restaurant employee I spoke with acted like it was normal to cheat people out of an overpriced and underserved entree. Finally I'll say I ordered through Uber Eats and I'll say that my driver who delivered my order was amazing and extremely quick! But even the driver had a negative experience with the restaurant employee he dealt with. I hate writing a negative review because I really enjoyed the food, but unfortunately for what I paid I only got maybe 1/2 of what I should have. The container was noticeably empty. read more

Bottom Line: Dingy but convenient casual eatery with salads, sandwiches and baked goods. When you just need something to eat Corner Bakery Café is sufficient. Whether I want a light salad or a hearty sandwich with a dessert they have me covered. They also serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Overall I find the food to be satisfying and the service good enough. I appreciate that I can place an order on the app and its generally ready when I get there. I do think that that the interior needs a refresh though. Last time I was in it felt very grungy and dark so I opted to get my food to go. read more

They have a great selection of baked goods. That is what I have gotten the last couple of times I've been there. I've had other entrees there that are tasty.

I've joined the free Rewards Club and they do have nice deals from time to time. read more

Wouldn't recommend. Poor quality of service. They didn't label drinks, so there was no way of knowing what cup contained non-dairy milk. When we asked to have them remade they were rushed and the drinks did not turn out well. Definitely not the consistency you would expect. Food was average with very little flavor. Next time I would drive 2 more minutes and go to Starbucks where at least I know the drinks are always made correctly and labeled. read more

Stopped for a quick lunch and had the Pick Two option. Had the tuna panini and shrimp linguini the meal came with a side so I had the caesar salad, which had too many croutons and a bit too much dressing for my taste.

Altogether it was a satisfying meal and good service. read more
