The food is decent and the drinks are good. Mostly fresh and a good simple breakfast spot. Food is like iHop tier. The restaurants cleanliness however is not up to par. The booths smell like dirty cloth. You can tell they haven't been cleaned in awhile. The cloth is black and brown with stains in some areas. The coffee area is pretty standard and clean but the counters are not. read more

I'm not sure what I expected but it wasn't a blob of goop that looked like I'm about to eat a sauce as a soup. Terrible. Would not recommend. read more

This is a very efficiently operated corner bakery. The staff is always friendly. I am always greeted as soon as I walk in. My meal (usually pasta carbonara) is prepared to order and quickly. Love their black currant tea. (And it's always delicious). (And priced very well) I like the new breakfast items especially the pancakes. I recommend this corner bakery for breakfast lunch or dinner while shopping along S. Lake Ave. read more

Fantastic service and excellent customer service morning crew is the best I love chicken pomodori panini

Service is great! It's always clean and staff is friendly. Usually my food is ready within 10 mins!

I was in such a bad mood today, I thought I would give this place a 1 star review. They didn't have any healthy dressings for their sandwiches, all their sandwiches revolve around whole mayo. So I got my turkey sandwich with mustard, and a negative attitude. I took the sandwich home, and realized the bread in this sandwich is the best whole wheat bread I ever had in my life. The turkey quality is marvelous, and the balsamic dressing for my side salad is the best dressing I ever had in a salad. I would've given them a 5 star review, but them lacking any sandwich spreads (low fat/non-fat/vegan mayo) really hurts them. I will be a regular at this restaurant. read more

Visited: 2024-08 Note(s): chain; fill out their survey after your meal for a free cookie that you can redeem right away. Meatball panini: decent sandwich but the marinara sauce could use a bit more flavor. Berry pecan salad: pretty good salad. $1.59 extra when chosen for the choose 2 option. Not sure if I'd do this again for that extra price. Choose 2 also comes with option of fruit, chips and garlic bread. Monster cookie: ok cookie. Did not stand out from a store bought cookie. S got the southwest chicken salad and thought the ingredients were of low quality and would not get again. Overall: looking for a healthy place to eat, we ended choosing this place. Unfortunately it wasn't worth the price we paid and the taste wasn't there either. Friendly staff but the restaurant could be a bit cleaner. read more

I ordered the Shrimp Scampi and was very disappointed. The Google pictures show a hearty portion. I received a small portion with only three shrimp. The noodles were cold and stuck together. There was absolutely no taste whatsoever. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch because I was craving something warm and comforting. My usual go to is the pesto chicken sandwich with the chicken noodle soup. It delivers every time. I really love the flavors and I always feel satisfied after I eat. This location is smaller than ones that I've been to and it was quite packed. Luckily, I was able to snag a table and enjoy my meal inside. The oddest thing for me was that I had to pick up my food at the counter at this location, where as the other ones i frequent drop it off at your table. Obviously no big deal, just a little inconsistent. Too bad I didn't get any of the delicious sweets they have, I love all the baked goods. Corner Bakery is a great spot for a quick bite and decent meal. They have healthy options from soups to salads that are tasty. Love visiting for lunch! read more

Something wrong with the service in this restaurant. This is not the first time we have issue. We wanted to give it another shot because the kids live the Mc and cheese but we are once again disappointed. The service sucks, they are not helpful. They made a mistake with our order so I asked for the bacon they forgot. They wanted to trash my untouched plate and give me a new one instead of just giving me bacon! No I refused because it is such a waste to trash a brand new plate! Then, asked for some Parmesan for the pasta and they wanted to charge me for that!!!! WTF, they are ready to trash a 9$ plate but not to give a 50 cent cup of cheese? They were like robot, not human. Incapable to make a decision. Men! You made a mistake and I just keep my plate! I just asked for a bit of Parmesan!!!! Avoid this place! read more

Worst service I can remember. Went here on New Years Day, after the Rose Parade with my grandmother. And I now feel I got preyed on, because of it. I ordered a chicken pesto and the girl taking my order didn't inform the sandwich comes with a side of my choice. And then she got me to order a medium coffee when it's serve your own coffee, first time here and the last. And they give a beeper for your order and just leave your tray next to other trays...god forbid more than one person has a similar order.. I stop my rant now but I could say more. Stay away. read more

My husband and I came in last Sunday for lunch. This location is very convenient. They have a parking structure and there are plenty of shops around the area. Parking is free and it's a huge plus and to top it off there's a TJ (Trader Joe's) on the upper level. The outdoor/patio seating is nice. There's plenty of table. It can accommodate large groups and the area is very family friendly. The food was up to standard. My husband and I ordered sandwiches. For the sides, he got a soup and I got a salad. When we got our food they forgot to give me utensils for the salad but other than that service was friendly. read more

The Anaheim Scrambler was good as usual, but was a tad disappointing as the photo in the menu showed the dish with potatoes while the actual item came with fruit. The staff did explain that the potatoes were no longer available, but then perhaps the menu photos need to be updated. The Power Breakfast Egg Bowl was a bit disappointing since it had great ingredients, but was bland. The pesto sauce was good, but was not enough to compensate for the blandness. As a note, this is a vegetarian option if you're looking for one. I picked up my order and noted the store had Covid measures in place. The customer flow was only one way - into the store through the front and out of the back door. If you need to go back in, you'd need to go in through the front. They also had hand sanitizer available and every staff member was wearing masks appropriately. There were also not many customers in the store all at once although this might have more to do with the fact that I went on a non-peak hour. read more

Nice to meet up over coffee and fluffy croissants. Seems like blind dating now days, a safe place with lots of room and varieties of foods to choose. Don't have to impress, but just be myself. read more

Nice location to come have breakfast. I came today for breakfast and there were a few people there but service was quick. Only one person in line in front of me and they had 2 registers opened. I ordered a bacon and cheddar panini along with an iced coffee. I only had to wait 5-10min for my food to be ready. The food was good, I would come again but to try other things because everything sounds delicious. They have plenty of tables to eat inside but you can also eat outside in the tables they have. Parking: there was a lot of street parking available when I arrived at 10am. The street parking is only one hour but if you need more time you can go back to the machine and add an extra hour. It's only $1 for the hour. read more

Anaheim panini was very good. Eggs were freshly scrambled. Perfectly toasted bread and a good ratio of eggs, bacon and cheese. The avocado really elevated the sandwich. Service was quick and friendly. They also have a very nice outdoor seating area. read more

Pros: awesome location; I brought my dog inside without issue; Simple but varied pastries available; healthy breakfast menu Cons: Service- My chai tea latte took 20 minutes and was over corrected when they put in too much milk (they wanted to give me a bigger cup as apology). The pastries I ordered (brownie and bundt cake) were not warmed up (nor was it offered). Staff was not rude but not friendly either read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - Large Iced Chai Latte - Salad Near Me - Pasadena, California

A Chopped salad (crispy bacon bits, avocado, green onions, tomatoes, blue cheese, chicken) at Corner Bakery is $8.29. Pair it with an Iced tea and you'll be down another $2.39. Of course there is really nothing special here. It's just a basic mediocre salad to help you get through your day (barely). I wish Corner Bakery would add a leafier mix into the salad because I wasn't expecting, nor was I glad, it was iceberg. Although the Tangy vinaigrette was good, anyone could make the same salad (multiple times) at home for a few bucks. But, alas, the cost of convenience. Corner Bakery you should seriously take the rug out - it is super dirty and smells like an old hotel room. read more

It's a chain but the food is delicious. I was starving and went for the Anaheim scramble with egg whites. The husband got a breakfast burrito of sorts and sadly eyed my breakfast while I continued to work on it. I definitely ordered the better item. The scramble comes with eggs that you can sub for egg whites, fried potatoes, toast, avocado. The eggs themselves are scrambled with a variety of veggies-tomato, green onion, and did I mention bacon. It's delicious. The potatoes were perfectly crispy and fluffy in the middle. A bit on the salty side but everything was so tasty I didn't have to attempt to resuscitate with additional salt or ketchup. There are tons of breakfast options including sweet and savory all out breakfasts like the scrambles or if you're feeling healthy, go for the oatmeal. There is plenty of seating here for large groups and service is fairly quick. This is a great place to grab breakfast and coffee in the morning. It's also right next to a shopping center so you can go out and walk off the calories. read more

Ordered an All-American breakfast on Dec.30 "to-go." When I opened the bag, there were no potatoes. So I went back on New Year's Eve around noon time and ordered the same menu item. When I tell the young man at the register I would like extra potatoes to make up for the day before, he turns around and tells the cook in Spanish -- of which I understand-- and the cook responds in Spanish, "just tell him we're out of potatoes." To which I tell the kid, you're not doing that to me. You guys charged me full price yesterday and you're not out of potatoes. You just don't want to make them. You should have seen the looks on these guys faces. Lying right to my face because they didn't want to make them. What kind of chain restaurant lies to its guests? I'll tell you who--Corner Bakery in Pasadena. read more

I've has issues before with this place through Postmates, but today I can't say it's Postmates fault. I ordered 2 soups (the broccoli & loaded potato) and it comes with a small piece of bread. Tell me why all the pieces of bread had mold!!! This is a health concern and I'm surprised that 1. It's not fresh and 2. That no one double checks the quality of their food. This is unacceptable and I hope nobody has had this problem before !!! read more

I was having car troubles in front of Corner Bakery today I unfortunately forgot my cell phone today at home . I am a senior so I truly was having a senior moment. I called AAA from Macy's & was waiting way past the time of their arrival . I went in Corner bakery & asked if they wouldn't mind if I used their phone because I left mine at home for AAA service . Since there are no public phones I was stuck . They told me no which left me feeling so vulnerable & exhausted from waiting in the first place . I had to ask strangers which I don't like approaching . I was waiting from 2:30 to 6:30 for AAA I have never done before. I would of ate in Corner Bakery while I was waiting but I will never walked back in that place again . I went next door to Cava & had dinner . They were so nice to me & let me use their phone besides the food was delicious. read more

Busiest Corner Bakery of all the ones I have been to. Located off of a busy street, meter parking is the closest but hard to find.

I'm always thrilled when our office orders from Corner Bakery. Lots of wholesome delicious choices here. I especially love the tuna sandwich on wheat bread. Blended with cranberries and nuts it's a perfect medley of sweetness, crunch, and savoriness. Their cookies are irresistible and always run out in minutes at our office. The variety of fruits never disappoints with their collection of fresh berries. All the breads are perfectly baked and a pleasure just to snack on without any spreads. We've catered from here before for my child's birthday party and was happy finishing off leftovers for the rest of two weeks! read more

Service was a big disappointment today here at this location. The cashier, Henry, replied to my girlfriend that the freshly packed of the Raisin Pecan Sweet Crisp is not for sale until all the packets on the counters are sold off first and that she can only buy those packages out on the counters. That has left us a sour taste and under the impression that we are getting day old packages. We felt the righteous reply should be as follows: "Sure. Here you go. Enjoy!" What the cashier should have done was to offer it to the customer when inquired. The reply was unacceptable to us and felt like a slab in the face. We do, however, appreciate the honesty of the cashier. By the way, the DTlA branch accommodated the same request the last time we were there. That said, it does not seem to be a company policy but more of a personal choice by the individual cashier working at this location. In restaurant business, customer service is key. Our two-cents!! read more

FIRST TIME HERE I ordered online from work because it was much faster and efficient to do that so when I come here to pick it up, I didn't need to wait in line. I got their pick 2 and ordered an Italian panini and an Asian wonton salad which came with a garlic bread. I think it was pretty worth it for about ~$8-9. Ordering online is really simple because you can choose what NOT to put in your food for picky people like me. Pretty much their Pick 2s are just HALF of what they normally are because you're picking 2 different things. It's good to do that if you're trying to try a variety of things. Since it was my first time here, I wanted to try the panini and be healthy at the same time, hence the salad. The panini was toasted and warm and the Italian panini was delicious with the right amount of condiments and meat inside it. I was disappointed, however, in the amount of peppercini that they had in mine. THERE WERE ONLY 2 PIECES. The salad, however, was delicious. There weren't a lot of chicken in there but it balanced well with my panini. The garlic bread was good but very thin. Probably thinner than a regular piece of bread. If you order online and spend more than $10, you can find coupon codes for $3 OFF. Definitely made my experience more worth it because I ended up ordering a cookie. Parking, however, is pretty difficult given that it's at Pasadena and it's mostly all street parking or you have to pay. It's next to a lot of shops so you can stroll around and go shopping in that area too! read more

The place is dirty ! A random homeless person came into the place and went straight to the drinking fountains. None of the employees cared about the contamination of the drinking dispensers in which the homeless lady filled up with a dirty container . After that I left my uneaten food and left . Disgusting ! read more

I like corner bakeries bakes goods: rugalech is my favorite! There food is good as well. I like the consistency of things at the location; you know what to expect taste wise. Breakfast is my favorite meal to have but there are also some good lunch and dinner options. Prices are average in my opinion for what you are getting. I am signed up to receive emails from them and often get deals with significant discounts. I'd recommend signing up if you enjoy Corner Bakery. This location of Corner Bakery in Pasadena gets pretty busy during the lunch hour and parking in the structure can take 5-10 minutes to find. There is also paid parking in front of the location on Lake for a minimal fee. Usually the wait to order is not too bad and the employees are always courteous and friendly. Food takes about 10-15 minutes to come out in my experience. The only thing I'd add that I have noticed about this particular location is that they have often made mistakes on my orders the few times I have been here. They are wonderful about taking care of the mistakes but if you order to go I'd recommend double checking your food. With that said, I would still come back to corner bakery. I personally like the consistent quality and taste of the food they serve. Furthermore, the employees are awesome. read more

This location is very out dated. Needs a deep cleaning and better customer service. I love Corner Bakery. I ordered the Commuter Croissant and the cheese was not melted. I handed it back to the man behind the counter after I returned to my table and discovered that the cheese was not melted , I got it back they warmed the whole sandwich in the microwave including my tomato's and avocado . One they should have made a whole new sandwich and you just don't heat tomatoes and avocado. Where is the health department when you need them . Needless to say I will not be back read more

Last time I was at the Corner Bakery Café was right before Covid. Yes the reason I haven't been there because that very last time my favorite chicken Panini sandwich which I've been ordering there for years was hard as a rock so I decided not never go back ...... Today I wanted the chickens Panini sandwich.. so I went there. the owner took my order. I clearly indicated I would like chicken Pomodora Panini . He said no problem he put the order in and that's what my ticket said also . well what I got was chicken arugula on baguette bread I pointed out to him immediately he said this is what I ordered. He offered to put on the grill . Are you real? Do you know your menu ? Panini bread is different, my sandwich was suppose to be grilled & w tomato . I did not want a baguette. He did not offer to make an a new sandwich. At that point I was very frustrated took the tray went out . Not only the sandwich was awful the arugula inside the sandwich was all wilted & Yellow in color . See photo. I'll never go back go . Plus the label & chairs outside was disgusting. I know it's a communal setting . Mostly is their customers who use you would think at least they could go outside and wipe off the tables. I assume they have new owners & they don't care. Try tone of others restaurant near by . read more

At first glance, this place needs an upgrade, badly! Paint on the wall chipping, you can tell there is no love in this place. Most table tops today were dirty, so were the benches. Doesn't seem like there is someone who regularly comes around to just tidy up.They do clean if you ask, so that's good. At least responsive. Don't get a Cesar salad. The croutons are way to hard and this is lunch meat chicken, not freshly grilled. And the bathrooms were horrendous. Like really bad !!! read more

I love corner bakery. This one is great too because of its central location between all the shops. There is street parking and a lot behind. Food is consistant across locations. If you make it in time for breakfast, their pancake options are great! Sometimes they will still let you order even of its lunch. The staff here is so friendly, helpful and proactive. They had a bunch of people at the register to make the line go smooth and fast. They are also offering 20% off student discount if you show your ID! Staff friendliness 5/5 Food quality 5/5 Cleanliness 5/5 Speed of line and food 5/5 Some of my favorites on the menu: pancakes, uptown avocado Turkey sandwich, broccoli cheddar soup, mac n cheese! read more

Love the chicken orzo soup with a little lemon zest to it. It's like a local Panera Bread but I find it more satisfying as I try to stay away from big chains. I was blown away by the kids meal option here so this review focuses more on that as I've been babysitting recently. I was super surprised at the kids meal options: half sandwich, soup side, chips, a cookie, AND a drink! All that for under $6 are you kidding me? This is a great place to take your kids or babysitting crew for a full meal. I will say that the turkey sandwich for the kids meal just had bread and Turkey... :/ Pretty bland as I wish they put more effort into the base of the meal, but still a great deal. Would definitely order again! read more

It's so important when you instill a concept, or service at the onset, you continue it. I was the Pasadena branch on Saturday and after I placed my order I was given a beeper. The young lady stated this is the new policy. I was so surprised and this is something that their management needs to think about. When you go to any average restaurant you are brought your food, or drink order if you are dining in. It's so important to continue something that you instilled when you first opened. This type of change can cause customers to look elsewhere because of this simple thing that so many other restaurants do without question. read more

We were going to Pasadena Playhouse for an Yelp event and we were looking for a place that offered a light, fast dinner. We've been to Corner Bakery Cafe, but not to this location, so we stepped into give it a try. They have a bit of everything- sandwiches, soups, salads, paninins, pastas, baked goods, coffees, teas, lemonades. I settled for one of their combos (decent deal at $8,69) of pasta of your choice and side salad. I got the pesto cavatappi (it comes with toasted garlic bread) and a mixed green salad (they also offer Caesar salad) . They were very good. My husband got their chicken pomodori panini (you also get a pickle) and for an extra buck he substituted his chips for a mixed green salad. Everything was tasty. We got a lemonade (decent) and cold water from the house. Service was very good, since it was our first time at this location, the girl who took our order gave us a piece of cinnamon cake from the house. Much appreciated! They have a nice seating area inside,but since it was a nice day, we preferred their outdoor area, big, relaxing, it made our meal more enjoyable. Perfect place for lunch or a light dinner. Don't expect a culinary adventure, just a nice, casual, inexpensive meal. read more

Corner Bakery I would say is a solid chain with pretty consistent food no matter the location. So reviewing a Corner Bakery for the food would be like writing the same review over and over. I guess I can review the service and the particular location of this cafe. I find that at this location the servers and the cashiers are helpful and patient. I like coming to this location for the outside patio area, great people watching, and I like eating food in the open air. Overall, I know if I make another visit, I anticipate that things will be good. My recommendation: The Chicken Pomodori Pannini and the mixed green salad combo. read more
