Unbeatable deal! For a limited time, you can get their $15.29 Choose Two Meal at a promotional price of $7.99. We let the cashier know to apply the discount. The meal lets you mix and match from: a half sandwich, half hot sandwich or panini, pasta, salad, and a cup of soup. The meal got us comfortably full and was definitely bang for our buck. I ordered the Crispy Beef Cheddar Half Sandwich and Mac & Cheese with bacon and tomato. My meal also came with a side of garlic bread. The sandwich was yummy with a decent amount of meat, sauce, and flavor. The mac & cheese wasn't as favorable. It's not Italian restaurant quality but it's satisfying enough for the price. The garlic bread was nicely toasted and crispy. This location is clean and has plenty of seating and parking. read more

I go to the Corner Bakery on Harvard (not the one at the marketplace) a couple times a week and it never misses. The mac and cheese is honestly the best I've had--super creamy with those breadcrumbs on top that just make it next level. Also had a great experience with Alma, she was extremely nice and really helpful, which made it even better!!!!! read more

The Choose Two is a pretty good deal. Berry Sweet Crisp Salad (9/10) - Everything in it was great! The berries are in season and sweet, they go really well with goat cheese. The dressing and the crisp are sweetened as well. I like how everything goes together. Chicken pesto (7.5/10) - I removed the pesto aioli because I don't like sauce oopsie. I also got it on pretzel bread and I like the chewy texture to it. I am not a fan of arugula in general so it affects the rating. read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - Your Best customer - Sandwiches Near Me - Irvine, California

Who cooks after grocery shopping? Not me! I haven't been to a Corner Bakery in a hot minute, but decided to because it was in the same plaza as my local grocery store. This location is pretty spacious, with both indoor and outdoor seating. It looks like you can also get work done here, since they have plenty of outlets scattered throughout. I got the half and half deal, which allows you to choose from sandwiches, soups, pastas, salads, etc. For my halves, I got the pasta carbonara and tomato soup. Here you order at the front, grab a number, and they bring it out to you. The pasta was soo good! Just as I remembered it. It came with the creamy carbonara sauce, peas, and bacon/pancetta. The tomato soup was okay, and was a bit salty for me personally. The portion sizes were pretty good, and overall a great deal for two items. read more

It was my first time at this Corner Bakery Cafe, even though I always pass by it while driving down Main St in Irvine. The interior design was actually quite spectacular and impressive, especially from what I was expecting from a coffee shop that I'd never been to or gotten any word of mouth about. There were a solid selection of baked goods, including some holiday-themed ones! There's also an extensive menu of hot and cold beverages, salads, pastas, and more. The really impressive part was when I ordered my truffle hot chocolate, they first asked me if I'd like whole milk, oat milk, or some other milk, and I opted for oat milk... I'm so glad they asked! And then, they asked if I'd like the hot chocolate with or without caffeine, and I actually wanted without... again, I was so impressed and glad they asked about this too!! I've been to many coffee shops in my life and not many of them go as far as to ask this level of detail for every customer, and it seems perhaps this location does... awesome job!! The truffle hot chocolate was perfectly hot but not too hot, more like very warm, and it was nice getting to sit at one of the tables inside and take some time to enjoy the moment. A great place for coffee and cafe lovers!! read more

I was helped at the register by Alma F. Alma welcomed me with a calm demeanor and a warm smile. I wasn't too sure what to order. She answered all my questions and gave great recommendations. I had to get back in line to order a side of fruit for my baby and toddler. She remembered me and said "welcome back!" with a smile. I asked what fruit variety there was for a side of fruit. She recommended a variety of berries because she saw I had two little ones. Her service and attention to detail surpassed my expectations in customer service. Once we were finished with our meal, Alma approached our table, again with a warm smile, and offered to take our plates and trash. The help she provided was so appreciated especially with the business of motherhood. Alma made our family lunch experience so enjoyable. Corner Bakery is lucky to have someone as hard working, humble, friendly and attentive as Alma! read more

First time at this location, we stopped by to check out a new promotion for dinner and the service wowed us lol New 2 for deal was posted so we popped in to check it out - this deal is only at a few limited locations but this one in Irvine was in range so we dropped on in - the service was great from the word go - deal was clearly explained, options provided, and we had I had the Shrimp Linguini and Mac/Cheese - together they filled me and then some - had to get the better half to help me finish lol The better half had Chicken Piccata I think it was? and the Tomato soup - she wiped it out with a smile! was a fairly quite end of the night as we dropped in about 45 minutes before closing - everything was clean/well kept - they did not rush us at all - was a great end to the day meal for sure! read more

I got the avocado wrap and I was slightly disappointed by the portion size. In addition to the lack luster portion size, there contents in the wrap were mediocre and barely contained any avocado. I also received the Chai Latte which was overly sweet and not filled entirely. The service was good, and the ambiance was nice, suitable for professional work and meetings. Many tables were perceived as taken because a beverage was left at the table but no one was actually sitting there. But that cookie... the toffee cookie was amazing read more

I've been a member of Corner Bakery Rewards, and I've earned enough points to earn a $5 off $15+ reward on a quarterly basis, but the reward is only good for the first month of each quarter. I usually frequent the Lakewood location, but enjoy trying the other locations to see how they compare. This location in Irvine is at Harvard Place Shopping Center on the southwest corner of Main and Harvard not too far off the 405. However, there isn't a freeway exit for Harvard, so if you want to stop by, you'll want to get off at Culver or Jamboree and head north towards Main St. When I arrived about an hour before closing time, I went up to the register to place my order. The cashier (Xiomara?) was so dull and lifeless it felt like her energy level was completely zapped that evening. She clearly didn't want to be working. In order to claim my reward, I had to provide my phone number. I usually go for a Choose Two at Corner Bakery since I feel you can get the most bang for your buck that way. A Choose Two is $13.99, and a premium entree item is a $1.59 upcharge. Before prices went up, it used to be $12.99 for a Choose Two, and a premium entree was only a $1 upcharge. My how times have changed in just a matter of a few years, and I've also kept in mind the decline in quality over those years. Today, my preferred Choose Two is the Power Greens & Grains Salad and a premium pasta, which there are 5 of at Corner Bakery. I went with the Pesto Cavatappi, which is simply grilled chicken, cavatappi pasta, and pesto cream. A Choose Two comes with a side, and I like to vacillate between the two salads, Mixed Greens & Classic Caesar, depending on my mood at the time. I went with the Caesar this time. After paying, Xiomara gave me a red numbered stand rather than a white card that other locations usually give you to place on top of the salt & pepper. I asked her how long the wait would be, and she estimated between 5 and 10 minutes. It was about 6 minutes before she came over to deliver my meal. The Pesto Cavatappi and the Power Greens & Grains Salad came in bowls while the Classic Caesar Salad filled half of a rectangular plate. The Power Greens & Grains Salad bowl was on the plate next to the Classic Caesar Salad. The first thing I noticed was how they skimped on the portion size of the Pesto Cavatappi. However, what they lacked in portion size, as well as chicken, they made up for in pesto cream. The pasta dish as a whole could have used a little more flavor; unfortunately, I had overlooked the seasonings right next to me! So definitely don't be like me in this regard lol. However, there was no seasoning needed for either of the salads. The Power Greens & Grains Salad came with the dressing on the side, but the Classic Caesar already had the dressing on it. A little odd, and I'm not sure why they did it that way? But they were good enough and up to par with the other locations. I even got to mix the remainder of the Caesar Salad with the extra pesto cream sauce from the Pesto Cavatappi, and the Caesar Salad tasted better if only by a little bit. Like I said, Xiomara's mood was pretty vapid during my visit, but I do have to give her credit for remembering to give me a water cup when I forgot despite mentioning it a minute ago lol. There are plenty of tables inside, and it was mostly empty upon my arrival. A few customers did come in after me, but by no means was it busy. If you prefer dining al fresco, they also have an outdoor patio at the rear of the cafe. The restrooms are to your right once you walk in. When I was there, I noticed the door was open, and there was a wet floor sign. Hopefully that is not the norm here and that an employee was cleaning it at the time of my visit. Overall, it is not a bad Corner Bakery Cafe to go to. The quality of the food isn't too much different than the other locations, but needless to say, there is definitely room for improvement. I wish the employees would show some degree of customer appreciation, but that seems to be coming at a premium regardless of what location you visit. read more

I ordered the bacon avocado egg bowl with the fruit add on, and it was honestly very disappointing. The egg bowl was mushy and there was hardly any seasoning other than the normal saltiness from the bacon. The avocado was also just mush and there was so little of it. The bread side was barely toasted so it was floppy and just sad. The fruit..where to begin with the fruit. The fruit tasted canned or like the kind the fruit you would get in an economy commercial flight, but at least the planes refrigerate their fruit. The price after tax was $15.49 (before tip) and I would say that it is not worth the price. Their coffees were alright. I was also one of the first 100 customers for their opening, so I did get a one year coffee refill coupon with a coffee mug which was very nice, but other than that I was not impressed. Can't say anything about their other dishes as I haven't tried anything else, but the egg bowl I got, I do not recommend. Don't get me wrong, It doesn't taste bad, but it just doesn't taste like anything. Oh, but its 600 calories~ so I guess thats a positive.. Also if you do decide to eat at this place, sit towards the back where the bathrooms are because the AC works alot better there. The kitchen is open towards the front and the seats by the entrance is a bit too hot either from the kitchen or the lack of AC in the front. The employees were very nice so no complaints about the service. Just the food was so disappointingly below average. Its also right by 24hr fitness (1min walk away) so I can see so much potential clients for post workout meals as the foods claim to be low in calories, but I wouldn't pay 16 dollars for what I ate.

I would come back for the coffee, but I would pass on getting food from here. While I only got a cinnamon roll (which was slightly warm) my family's meals were decent.

A step up from airplane food. Fake watery eggs. Tiny bacon strips. Everything appears to be heated by microwave then plated with fresh avocado and shredded cheese. The baked goods look good.

Craving for breakfast for dinner tonight, so did an online order and stopped by this Corner Bakery location (one of the few left) on the way home and it was very good. Pancakes were fluffy and had a nice chewy texture. Scrambled eggs was moist, and the chicken sausage was good. I usually do not care for breakfast sausage but theirs was actually decent. My other favorite from Corner Bakery is the turkey cob salad, without bacon, of course. read more

My bf and I stopped here after our final PFT before the LA Hyrox race next week. I originally wanted to go to Poached but the line was too long, and we did not want to wait, so we walked over to Corner Bakery instead and was so glad we did! We both wanted something healthy and Corner Baker also offers omelettes and power bowls (new item), so we were happy and got a Garden Gate scrambler with chicken sausage without cheddar and a Power bowl, which is quinoa and chicken and spinach with eggs. Service was nice and fast. It didn't take long after we ordered and sat down that they brought out our food. And the best part was there was no line!!! Breakfast was so yummy and just what we wanted! Better yet I think my scrambler came just under $10! The cafe is really cute and clean, and their bakery and baked goods look soooo good! I couldn't get any but I know their cookies are amazing! The restroom was also super clean! Plenty of parking also! read more

1 star -- Humiliated and ignored. Absolutely unacceptable. I've never been treated this poorly at any café -- ever. I came in expecting a simple, friendly experience. Instead, I was met with open hostility from Susana M, who spoke to me in a rude, dismissive tone as if I were a problem, not a customer. When I asked for a manager, she showed up -- and then just turned around and walked away without saying a word. No apology, no help, not even eye contact. I was left standing there, stunned and humiliated. This place has zero customer care. No empathy. No professionalism. Just attitude and silence. I left feeling completely disrespected and shocked. Irvine has many better spots -- I will never set foot in Corner Bakery Café again. Avoid this location if you expect even the bare minimum of human decency. read more

Nice little cozy corner location ..being out of state I expected a more hometown feel....we arrived at 7pm and shortly after our food was ready they proceeded to CLEAN, mop, put chairs up on tables (I thought they closed at 9pm otherwise we would have gone somewhere else) food was good...my sandwich wasn't toasted ..I had the mozzarella, tomato, arugula sandwich and a Southwest salad ..kids had a creamy pesto pasta..sister had harvest salad ..we had dessert muffins, chocolate bundt cake and chocolate chip cookie....booth needed TLC..it was all duck taped together ..very uncomfortable to sit on....fortunately we were able to find another booth...we felt rushed out and we felt like we were in the way .. read more

Corner Bakery is one of my favorite chains that I frequent. The freshness and taste of food are always consistent. This particular location could use some improvement regarding cleanliness and overall appearance. We came in around 2:30pm after lunch rush and the tables and chairs were not properly cleaned. I feel bad for the cashier as she had to take orders, run the food, and respond to guests' needs.. no time to bus the tables.

Training. I wanted a half sandwich and a garden salad. She didn't know what a small garden salad was. Turns out Corner Bakery doesn't offer that. It's embarrassing to stand at the front of the line trying to explain what a garden salad is in a restaurant like Corner Bakery when she could have just told me they don't offer that. I ended up with something I didn't want and it wasn't that good. Please tell your people what a garden salad is. Better yet consider offering a half sandwich with a small green salad. read more
