    Sour-smelled booth, dirty, had residue from what looked like soup or soda. Hair, dirt, crumbs, etc, inside the booth between seat and wall.
    Kara E.

    Oof. I'm not sure if it's just this location, but I hope that's all; I used to adore Corner Bakery! A couple things sealed the deal that I may not continue visiting CB... this location for one (filthy!) and in general for another. This location is really, REALLY dirty. Like, no one moves chairs / tables to vacuum. No one wipes down walls near tables/booths, no one vacuums out booths (see pic). In general, the 2 top booth we sat in had a sour smell. The soda fountain (where you get water) looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a year or more with sticky residue and gunk. (We didn't get soda, but did get water out of the Lemonade spigot, sketchy). I'm really sad that discontinued their DC Chicken Salad completely. The menu (while it looks trendy) now has items that would appear in a cost-saving picnic basket; lunch meat sandwiches and paninis, soups (sous vide from a bag, as I witnessed), easy leafy salads, bags of chips. Essentially all cheap to stock, and longer lasting than something like a chicken salad, apparently. I imagine those many who got their orders to-go will still be finding this location palatable... but dine in at your own risk.

    Buttermilk Pancakes with Eggs & Bacon
    Santanu S.

    Although I have eaten at other Corner Bakery locations for lunch, this was my first breakfast. The patio door had no signage, but the interior door stated masks were required. Not an issue but I had to return to my car to get one. I immediately removed it when I entered and saw NO EMPLOYEE wearing one. I ordered the Pancakes , Bacon & Eggs combo. I also got coffee. Fortunately, I drink the caffeinated stuff because they had run out of decaf. When I got a refill, they had run out of half & half but had replenished the decaf. The food was deceptive. Upon initial observation, it appeared the thin pancakes were all one-sized. Upon closer look, I had actually received two medium-sized and two small-sized pancakes. So it equated to about three pancakes instead of the four as described. The pancakes did soak up the syrup to be Vanilla Maple-flavored pancakes, but I am skeptical if the concoction actually contains real maple syrup. The bacon were very crispy which others may prefer but I do not. As for the eggs, they were slightly overcooked.

    Catering 16 half sandwiches and small Caesar
    Kari M.

    I did a catering order of the 16 half sandwiches for my baby shower and they were a hit!! The side could be chips or Caesar salad and I'm so glad I went with the caesar. I probably ate more salad and sandwiches than anyone else LOL!! I had about 30 people attend and I cut each sandwich in half (making 32 half sandwiches) you can see from the picture how huge they are!! I was SO pleasantly surprised to see the size. I had a few special instructions and whoever made my order followed them PERFECTLY!! The price was on par and I would 100% order the 16 half sandwiches again for any event I'm wanting finger foods at. I've been coming to this location since I was a tween and I've never had a bad experience.

    Filthy tables not being cleaned.....
    Bruce M.

    OK- I am a long time fan of Corner bakery! I love the Panni's, the great salads and of course the deserts. But I recently visited this one in the Villages and cannot get past the bad service and dirty tables. It was in the afternoon and they had a reasonable crowd of people coming in. But the tables and booths were half full with dirty dishes and food from past customers. while I understand they cannot clean each table after a customer leaves - i counted 14 tables full of dishes and not cleaned! I watched people come in and look around disgusted that there were not clean tables for over 30 minutes. As I finished my BBLT i went up to the counter and asked to speak with the manager. A young woman came out and I told her that there were a lot of dirty tables and the the staff did not seem to notice. She waved her hand and said no big deal - it was shift change and they were busy. I left and do NOT plan to go back to sit in a restaurant looking at dirty tables and being told by the manager it is no big deal. Food was good - the ambience was disgusting!

    black avocado
    Maddie H.

    I am usually really fine with the service and such here. But today I walked in and the guy working the counter (teen guy, tall, black shaggy hair) just looked at me, didn't say anything just looked at me. And this went on for about a minute or so and then I finally was helped when I had to ask. Secondly (and the reason I am writing this review) is I paid $1.00 for black avocado. You heard me right, black avocado. I added a pic for proof. Never asking for avocado here again...

    Free chocolate Bundt cake for my birthday!
    Trina W.

    Have been wanting to try this place out and after signing up for their mailing list and receiving a welcome coupon I did. I'm excited to say I'll be back again. I've received two coupons now, both for a free sweet treat (no purchase necessary) in my email. One for signing up and another for my birthday! I used my coupon towards a free chocolate Bundt cake. It had just the right amount of chocolate icing so it wasn't overly sweet. The cake was perfect and so moist. I will be using my second coupon for another! I didn't realize until stepping inside how extensive the menu was or how nice it was. There is a counter at the front to place a quick order or grab a dessert and coffee as well as a full sit down area. I glanced at the menu and saw lots of yummy things I can't wait to go back and try!

    This is the corner of the black and dark  refrigeration unit by the register, interesting it is missing part of the laminate in that spot

This quaint spot has been standing for more than 140 years and now serves as a restaurant and live music venue on the weekends. The bar is dark, woody, and full of character and gives off the kind of vibe that makes you want to come back for an evening of music and drinks. We chose to sit in the bright front room with its abundance of windows and natural light. We started with the deviled eggs topped with bacon jam for an appetizer. Those we gobbled fast. I ordered the Wagyu House Burger with whipped jalapeño, goat cheese, and bacon jam served with tots. The burger is hardy cook cooked well and the goat cheese was a standout. My date had the chicken fried steak and after stealing a few bites I can confidently say that's what I'll be ordering next time. That was absolutely delicious.
