This was a perfect walkable spot for a great breakfast while in Houston. Came in around 8am and it was busy but like went quickly and service was very nice. I even had a good conversation with another customer in line . I ordered a plain bagel w/ BEC , a sesame bagel with BEC and a chocolate filled croissant and we enjoyed the breakfast with our Starbucks . They had a very good selection but I had to attend a business meeting and needed something quick and to go. Space was nice, service was great and breakfast was yummy. First time here and I recommend it! read more

Great Service & free WiFi Walkable and convenient Clean and tidy Food was good but I wish my panini had a bit more chicken in it. I'll give it another try though read more

Very nice place, half inside an office building. One of the few places open on New Year's Day. We stopped in for a breakfast sandwich and were pleasantly surprised. It was fresh and delicious. The coffee was good, and you can self serve at a coffee station. The wait staff brings your food and cleans up after you. We did not know you should leave your plate on the table, we thought this was like a Panera where you can clear your own plate, but no! So don't do that! read more

Have you ever tasted a bundt cake that was moist and flavorful. The spices you could not only smell but taste. Flavor explosion !!! Then on top of that they warm it up and deliver it to the table. The icing and pecans drizzled perfectly on top. I hate that I couldn't get one to go and bring back to Kansas Ciity with me. The lemon bundt cake smelled divine. Simply put, I need another one. Will certainly visit if I make it back to Houston. Those who live in or near downtown Houston if you haven't already, please try one. Oh, and they have coffee... and other assorted drinks, BUT the bundt cake stole the show for me. read more

Catering - Corner Bakery on Main Street saved the day for the Office Breakfast. I called the other place I had ordered from and was told they did not have a delivery scheduled for us. Oh No! We were supposed to serve breakfast in 10 minutes for 40 people. I called Corner Bakery on Main Street, placed my urgent, anxious order and asked how long it would take. Celia was calm, offered suggestions and told me that we would have it in 30 minutes. I was so relieved. Our breakfast order of wraps, croissants, fruit, yogurt and pastries was delivered as promised, in 30 minutes. Thank you Celia and Corner Bakery - Everyone who put it together and Christina for bringing it to us. You all truly saved the day. I do recommend Corner Bakery. You will not be disappointed. read more

service is so amazing they have the best coffee I have found in Houston I literally go everyday to get one of their lattes Marina at the counter is the sweetest all the workers are so nice and friendly it makes my day! Also such a cute spot to grab lunch really yummy sandwiches great beautiful location by the fountains! read more

I tried their new roast beef sandwich. The bread was huge very dry almost stale. I opened the sandwich and found two thin slices of roast beef and some onions that tasted like they were from a jar. I see why there is no place to leave reviews on their website. read more

The food has consistently been very good, enjoyable and plentiful. The food is made carefully and is illustrative in the delivery and presence of the dish. Everything we've ordered has great flavor, spices and pleasant tastes. Service is great too. The staff work in a busy downtown so they have to be good, fast and agile - which they all are. Friendly and helpful. No complaints. It's a busy cafe made for small groups but in sure if your needed to fit a group of 6 or so in, you could. The atmosphere and divina dining area still are very comfortable and relaxing. Overall, a good recommendation when visiting downtown Houston. read more

Expensive, Not good at all. I got Mac N Cheese and a half sandwich (turkey and ham with lettuce. tomato, mayo. This came with a fruit cup. I asked for a pickle which I did not get. I said not toasted but it was and hard as a rock so I threw the bread away. The Mac N Cheese was cold and did not have barely any sauce. I did not even get a drink and the cost was about $19.34. I will not ever eat there again, read more

I know I've had many 4 star ratings lately...but I just haven't been experiencing anything that bad. Corner bakery is a prime example! This is one of my favorite lunch spots to go to when I'm working downtown. (I guess I kinda always say that? ‍) little pricey, a sandwich, chips and drink will set you back around $12 or so, but the quality is always consistent. I like to get either the BBLT (double bacon lettuce tomato) or the uptown turkey avocado sandwich. They have several salads and pasta bowls as well. The breakfast menu looks really good but I haven't tried anything from it. There are lots of cookies and cakes and breads, once in a while they'll handout free cookies after a short phone survey ‍ the downtown location has a nice upstairs with a view that allows u to people watch all diff things passing by read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - I mean.....look at the bacon overflow! - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

I thought ordering "half a panini and the potato soup" was an obvious default to their "pick 2" lunch option but to the rude cashier that took my order it was not. I got charged $1 for the same exact thing as the pick 2 option but didn't get chips. First of all, why is that even an option to ring up, second of all, why wouldn't the cashier ask??? "Did you mean the pick 2" UGH! read more

If you are in the area and you have a sweet tooth. You MUST stop by Corner Bakery Cafe - they will have something that will satisfy your sweet tooth. They have good food and a nice selection to choose from for breakfast or lunch. Danny, their GM, does a great job of providing excellent customer service and sets a perfect example for the rest of the staff to emulate. Ok so now back to the sweets - I would recommend all of them seriously. My favorites are the chocolate molten lava cake which is conveniently the perfect size and the sweet lemon pound cake. Stop by and check them out! read more

Food will sit in warming window for as long as it takes for you to go up to the counter and say "do you know when I will get my food?" They will then turn around and pull your food from the warming window, which is now over cooked and gross, and hand it to you as if they were waiting for you to come and ask for it. But don't look at it once you get it, there will be many ingredients missing, almost as if they have run out and are just working with what they have got. Good luck read more

I miss Corner Bakery so much! I used to live in CA and frequented their many locations, unfortunately we don't have one in Albuquerque, NM. So you can imagine my happiness when sent to Houston for work, and found they have Corner Bakery! I ordered my favorite sandwich, chicken pesto and it was super delicious. One sandwich is plenty of food for two servings, so I had two dinners for the price of one. Please come to Albuquerque! read more

The raisin crisps are always so delicious. The sandwiches are fresh and tasty . The service is always great. Nice place to have a meal

I feel head over heels in love with the catered meal from the local restaurant for the Mayors Office Event Downtown on Friday December the 8th. The food was great the options of 4 different types of sandwiches was incredible, the many different desserts were devine especially the brownie. My daughter loves all the cookie flavor options. I can wait to visit a location in person. read more

This must be the only bakery closed on a Saturday morning at 8:45 am - in downtown Houston and they choose not to be open for breakfast

Came here for their coffee and muffin special. I got the blueberry muffin and hot chocolate with soymilk for $3.99. I have to say the service was really good. Good drink. Coffee is refillable here. Blueberry muffin has lots of blueberry. I personally liked it. Will come back to try their breakfast egg and sausage etc. read more

The food sounded incredibly tempting, but I was disappointed. I ordered the banana Foster French toast made with cinnamon rolls. Everything was dry and tough. It actually lacked flavor. I wish it had a glaze drizzle or something. But mostly, I wish it was palatable. At least my coffee was decent. read more

This is my second time actually patronizing the Corner Bakery Cafe. One in Houston and the other in Chicago. Neither one disappointed. Both were in walking distance of my hotel, both offered very fast service, and the food was delicious. I had the berry salad and soup and I can go on and on about how good it was. I will for sure visit this place again. Trust me it will be worth your while!! read more

Love this location! When I travel to downtown Houston I love grabbing breakfast, lunch, or a dessert. The staff is always responsive and helpful as well. read more

Rude cashier typical work ethic today. I was ordering breakfast from the menu right behind the cashier and asked about a dish and her response was I don't know??? Then I asked about another dish and received the same response with attitude. I'm sure the owners don't condone this attitude representing a decent product. As I was leaving a patron asked the same employee where the restroom was located and she rudely said you have to ask in the front ??? Wow read more

Breakfast wrap only fair, however service was good. Easy walking distance from the hotel

Enjoyed a delicious Anaheim panini here. Eggs were cooked well and everything tasted really fresh. The lemonade was super sweet so definitely consider watering that down a bit. The place was clean and seemed to be in order. Staff was friendly and overall the service was great. Food came out in less than five minutes, which I was also impressed by. Free WiFi was a nice addition. My only complaint is that when they start lunch at 10:30am the breakfast items are no longer on the menu behind the counter even though they're still offered. If I hadn't asked about it, I would have missed out. Regardless, I got what I wanted and it was delicious. read more

Some days you're just feeling soupy. And yesterday, I was. My friend suggested we walk to the Corner Bakery, and I got a big bowl of Chicken Tortilla soup. It was bigger than my head, which was perfect! It was zesty, but not too spicy, and generally delicious. It came with a side of bread,which I didn't really care for, and the tortilla strips were slightly stale, but still, I enjoyed it. I think the only thing that would have made it even better would have been if they'd put some sliced or diced avocados on top of the soup. read more

This place is a life saver for me as an Executive Assistant. I love that I can order delivery online the night before, or even 30 mins before if I walk over to pick it up. There is a vast menu of tasty baked goods, sandwiches, salads, soups, pastas. Really something for everyone. I highly recommend heading here for lunch at 11 or 1 to avoid the peak lunch time. TIP: If you come right before they close and order a cookie - you get TWO COOKIES, as they will be thrown out end of day anyway. This location closes at 4pm. read more

I first heard about Corner Bakery when they catered us for a three week trial. Regardless of what I thought about that experience I was still convinced by my paralegal to come to the actual restaurant and check out the food. The first thing you notice is that it has a good view regardless of where you sit. I like sitting upstairs because it is more quiet, but downstairs is quicker access to watch the lines so you can jump back in line when it dwindles to grab yourself another treat. Yeah, so the food is actually pretty good at the restaurant. I was highly skeptical but I have been back three times and it has been perfect each time. I'm not big on sandwiches but they manage not to screw up anything - they use proportion in building the sandwich. It's not a Subway avalanche of lettuce or a drippy Quiznos monstrosity. The best part is the sweet stuff though - I like my sugar and they know how to take care of me. I will take one of everything please. The location is great on Main, but my most favorite downtown eateries are also right here. If this was it for eateries in this block I would give this five stars and kiss the manager. But it's not the only option. read more

Absolutely love it here! I've gone here a several amount of times for lunch with my girls. It's a cute little place with lots to choose from. From breakfast, salads, snacks, to a hearty lunch. Breakfast: The All American Scrambler and I recently tried the French Toast & Eggs which is so yum! Lunch: Uptown Turkey on Harvest Toast with a side of the Cheddar Broccoli Soup, Club Panini with a side of Chicken Noodle Soup! (these combinations are just my preferences; you can pair your own) Pasta: LOVE their Chicken Carbonara! If you're not in the mood for any meats, I sugest the Pesto Cavatappi with some garlic bread. I really enjoy this place. and of course, I'll be returning often. They also have a huge selection of desserts. Which makes this place even sweeter! read more

I like this place! Their variety of soups and their carbonera is delicious! It gets pretty heavy but it hits the spot when you got a craving! The most important thing is that this is right downstairs in the building work at so it's very convenient. They offer a lot of healthy options for health concious customers. Friendly staff and food come out really quick. They are not outrageously priced like some other downtown restaurants and their portions are of decent size so you really don't feel ripped off. I go to this place quite a few times and it's always packed. I see many of my coworkers ordering take-out from them as well. read more

I had one of the best sandwiches and salads from here. The chicken Pomodori and the Spinach Sweet and Crisp salad, from the pick 2, was absolutely great! The strawberry vinaigrette is rare to find but now my favorite! read more

Overpriced sandwich shop, but good for vegetarians. Black currant tea and chili are tasty. Other Yelp reviews are right on the mark...pricey and small portions. I ordered a pretzel turkey combo with chili. The sandwich did not have much meat, but was good with the pretzel bun. The chili was very tasty with plenty of meat. Recommended. Order and pay when you walk in. CBC also has a phone app you can use to place your order. Drinks are self-serve. I had a black currant tea, which I enjoyed. $12 for a weak half-sandwich, cup of chili and a drink was a bit steep. Sandwich/soup combo deals are much better at nearby Jason's Deli. I had a couple of vegetarians in my group, and they easily ordered salads and pasta without meat. Vegetarian-friendly. I may visit again in the future, but CBC is not at the top of my list. read more

Looking for a place for coffee and breakfast and came across this cafe on Main Steet in downtown Houston. Had many choices on menu - the usual sandwiches, power breakfast options, coffee etc. Got the toasted everything bagel and Egg and spinach sandwich from their power flat comboOrdered at the counter and the food was brought out to the table. Both the things we tried were good, coffee was strong and bold. Had plenty of seating indoor as well as outdoor. Very comfortable setting with reasonable prices. read more

I've passed this place for awhile and never bothered to stop in because I heard it wasn't all that good. Today's visit pretty much confirmed that. My sandwich was alright...but with Brown Bag Deli nearby I find very little reason to come here. The restaurant itself was actually very spacious and well kept but the food was just mediocre. I tried their turkey avocado sandwich with a side of macaroni and cheese. Honestly the sandwich tasted like something you'd make at home and the Mac n cheese? I didn't even bother finishing it. It had a really sour taste and was very dry. read more

After checking the overpriced breakfast/room service menu from our hotel, my husband decided to come here. I am so glad he picked this place. We tried another location for lunch in Northern,California. We were greeted by a warm friendly staff member and she explained the options. I ordered the Steel cut oatmeal(It was so good and came with a thin sweet Melba toast like bread)..$4.49 My husband ordered the Abaheim Scramble(said it was very good)...$7.99 read more

For a variety of easy meals, this is a good choice. I suggest getting in by 11 or 1130 to avoid the mad long lines during lunch. Service is fast/friendly. The seating is a bit packed so I would not suggest large groups....maybe just an additional person. I opted for the smaller portion of a Chicken Carbonara. For what it had in it, costed way more than it should've, but think the Downtown location might be a higher cost due to location. Nothing was spectacular about it and I expected more in the bowl. Had I known, I would have gotten the larger portion. :-) It was steamy and glad it wasn't too salty. It could have been creamier and had a few more pieces of chicken to make it more satisfying. But I still like the establishment and service that I may go once in awhile. read more

Lately, in the middle of the afternoon, I need a little whoopie. So I stop what I'm doing and head to the Corner Bakery to satiate my carb lust. Though bountiful with tasty carb temptations, the object of my desire is their peanut butter whoopie pie, my latest crush. Let me tell you, that whoopie pie has me singing. It's cute, manageable, and oh so yummy! Comprised of two chocolate cake rounds sandwiching a fluffy, creamy, peanut buttery filling, oh afternoon delight, indeed! Like most crushes, this whoopie pie presently represents perfection; a promise of sweet, with a tease of salty. The chocolate cake part is almost like a brownie, but not as dense, the edges slightly crunchy, while the rest is moist (that one's for you Farrah, teehee!). The whoopie pie also comes in its own little paper wrapper, so you can get it on as soon as you've paid and start walking out the door. read more

The Kirby location is much better - both in food quality and comfort. This is the first time I tried the blueberry muffins and they had absolutely no blueberries in them. I had gotten three to bring to my dad for his bday. None of them had blueberries. At $2 each, it was definitely a rip off. Will not be getting their pastries again. read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - Where are the blueberries in my blueberry muffin?!? - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Houston is fairly devoid of bakeries in which you can pop by and pick up a tasty little pastry, so I'm happy to note that Corner Bakery is only a couple of blocks away from where I work. Despite being a chain, you can count on fairly delectable baby bundt cakes (go for the banana one!), pecan bars, lemon bars and bear claws. For those of you that prefer to eat a little lunch before diving into desserts, try the Chicken Pesto Sandwich. It's a chicken breast on ciabatta roll with a basil pesto spread, tomato, mozzarella and arugula. The arugula really makes the sandwich, given it an interesting flavor. I've tried the turkey sandwich on pretzel roll and a few other things but inevitably, I always return to the Chicken Pesto. The one complaint that I have is that the sandwich comes with chips, and if you want to substitute fruit instead, you have to pay extra. To whet you whistle, Corner Bakery sports Black Currant tea, coffee and the usual host of sodas. This location also serves breakfast. (The oatmeal is quite a generous portion and nice on the very few cool winter mornings that you might encounter in Houston.) As far as location, it's super convenient since it is right off of Main Street and easily accessible from the rail. The outdoor seating is a bit questionable though because it's right where the fountains spray water over the rail line, so there's always sort of a puddle of water nearby, as well as a gaggle of pigeons. In any case - for inexpensive weekday lunch, Corner Bakery is a nice divergence from those of us constantly hitting the Park Shops for a meal. read more
