I ordered a burrito, and it was disappointing--one side was completely soggy from the sauce. My boyfriend wanted turkey sausage for his sandwich, but they didn't have it, so he had to settle for chicken. The lemonade we ordered tasted off, either from the drink itself or the ice. We spent over $50 here and expected much better. To top it off, I contacted the location through their website about our experience and never received a response. Highly disappointing overall. read more

well they have awesome coffee and I enjoyed their pasta it's good I always get the chicken Rosa pasta or chicken carbonara light on the chicken read more

Service is good but food we got was terrible. Disgusting, didn't even taste like food, felt like you were chewing on a solid object, had to put the sauce on to mask the weird taste it had. I really don't understand, do the owners taste their own food before offering to the public. read more

great service, great food, really recomen the pesto cavatappi, the chicken carbonara and the turkey avocado cobb

Food was great and the service was friendly and prompt. Enjoyed the Cobb Salad, panini and the orzo soup. Will come again soon! read more

I like this Corner Bakery location because it closes late compared to other locations in the area. I like how consistent the food is across locations, and I have my favorites on their menu (chicken pasta and strawberry salad). The dining area is huge, which is nice if you have a large group with you. Customer service is great. I like how they are also hardworking thought the day. I always see the staff walking around making sure tables are clean, floor is clean, and chairs are placed back in their proper locations. Parking is plenty in the plaza. read more

Horrible service. Waited. Nobody else was there waiting. Got the tiniest mumble of acknowledgement, then ignored a couple minutes. So, I went to the restroom. Came back out a couple minutes later, right behind a guy picking up, the employee left the register immediately without a word though she saw me there Had her back to me, less than 10 ft away. She wasn't uncomfortable, but I sure as hell was. Cleared my throat subtly after about a minute of that. Was acknowledged about a minute after. She asked if i wanted to order. She was so uninterested in my presence that she had my entire order of three items completely wrong. It's like you can't force people to take your money anymore- let alone expect halfway decent service. It's a bummer. This used to be one of my favorite places with great service. Guess that's a thing of the past. And sadly, I don't see this location making it much longer considering this experience and the lack of people present, esp since they used to always be pretty packed. And to top it off, I had to throw away the $20 worth of soup I purchased for a sick friend because it was chicken but had the aftertaste of fish which I may never get out of my mouth. read more

What a disappointment. I use to come here a lot before covid and now it's disappointment. I got the choose 2. Their Cavatappi pasta was horrible and no taste at all. I had better pasta at cheaper places.. And their up town turkey was a joke. You get one slice of turkey for the half sandwich. Definitely not worth $18 with a drink. read more

Happy National Coffee Day! Alana and Tim got emails for free coffee, and shared the barcode with me. What a deal! There was no catch for a small cup of coffee! I wish we had this in Honolulu... (Sigh...) This was in Torrance... such a nice city! And such a cool restaurant with lots of chairs and tables for customers. Free parking, friendly service, and convenient restroom are much appreciated! read more

Good. For lunch we had the Rustic Italian panini. It was like a small sub-sandwich properly toasted in a panini. Not something I would go out of my way for but acceptable. And, by the way, not a bakery. On the down side they were confused that we ordered and paid for two full sandwiches of the same thing. We received one sandwich half on each of two plates with one bag of chips to split. Worst part was that by 12:30 about 15 elementary children came in and treated the place like a club house. Sitting on tables, playing games, shrieking and yelling as if they were on a playground. We left. read more

This is our go-to for dinner with the kid at least once a month. He loves the pasta here. Everything here is great from the soup, salads, sandwiches and pasta. And of course, the desserts but I never get to that. The kids' meal is a great value with a cookie thrown in there too. I feel like the meals are portioned just right with enough to share too. read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - Pesto cavatarri and lemon orzo soup. - Sandwiches Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I'm assuming because I ordered to go and they figured I wouldn't notice until I got home that they could use old browned spotted avocado in my dish. For a $10 breakfast egg meal, do you really think this is acceptable?? So disappointing. If I had dined in, it would have gone right back. Although if I had dined in, I assume they wouldn't have dared sent this out. read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - Seriously? Look at these avocado slices in my to-go Anaheim scramble. Unacceptable. - Sandwiches Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I've been to this location a handful of times and the most recent to-go visit, my California Grille panini was burnt, but I didn't see it until I got home. I redeemed the buy 1 get 1 free offers. The other item I ordered was the tomato mozzarella sandwich, which looked and tasted just fine. I picked off the burnt parts of the panini, but other than that, the taste was just ok as well. Neither of the items "wowed" me nor did either "stand out." Customer service was fantastic, I arrived on a Wednesday around 10:40am and lunch items aren't served until 11am, but the cashier was friendly and enthusiastic. He went ahead and physically turned the menu around to showcase the lunch options so that I can order my panini and sandwich. Another wait staff offered me water as I waited, which I could've gotten myself since the drink station is self service. Bottom line, food is 2 stars, service is 4 stars. Hence, the average is 3 stars. read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - Kinda burnt cali grille panini - Sandwiches Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Nice cozy little spot inside a big plaza right on Pacific Coast Hwy. You walk up and order at the counter, then they give you a buzzer for when your food is ready. I'm not a huge breakfast eater, but the picture of the banana French toast looked amazing! It comes with candied pecans and whipped cream, presentation was great. You can add a side of bacon, which I highly recommend!!! Three large thick cut pieces with a sweet carmelized coating, some of the best bacon I've had. All in all it's an easy to get to and quick in and out spot with some good dishes. Cheers, happy eating! read more

I also felt food was not fresh egg... powered , bacon nasty. I was first excited as I thought ok getting healthy fresh food. They just reheated as it was litterly cold..after reading other reviews . I will not spend my money there........not even a full cup of coffee. Especially being looked at like I was the problem. Can't even apologize......nothing. At least McDonalds egg muffin is a real egg! read more

Corner Bakery has always been a go-to in the area for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. From time to time when they have the combo deals, I always come here to get a pasta/salad or salad/panini combo and it's always delicious! Their pesto cavatappi is always flavorful and cooked perfectly, and their caesar is a staple. read more

Ordered broccoli soup and sent it back....watery! Had the chicken carbonara which was also runny. Not a terribly clean place. Although ordered to eat in, received the order to go. No one else was in the place. Sat there and ate in...they said they had no service for dining in. Wonder how they stay in business! read more

Went in at about 1:00pm on Valentine's Day. It was empty except for one other lady sitting at a table and another person picking up food. I ordered the half salad half sandwich meal. The other two people that were with me ordered Anaheim scrambles. It took 20 minutes for us to get our food and then on top of that when I finally got my Tomato Mozzarella sandwich there was no mozzarella in it. However, I did give 2 stars because the girl working at the counter was pleasant and the restaurant was clean. read more

Received a coupon for free a muffin. Ordered it online and received e-mail confirmation receipt back stating time to pick up, no charge, my name, Redondo location, etc. Ok, cool. Go to pick it up and look in usual spot and it's not there. I ask girl can I pick up the item and show the confirmation and she says I don't see it. i said well here is the receipt, just plz get it and she said I can't Goes to back and either owner or manager looks at his system and said it didn't come through. I show him the confirmation and says but I can't give it to you. I said here's the confirmation and parrots it didn't come through. I said that's ok bc I'll never come back here. So for 60 cents maybe, your cost you just lost a customer. He said have a nice day. Plus corporate makes the owner whole on any special they run. BTW, no pastry is made there as it's all brought in by a large industrial baker. For the same price I can go to Little French Bakery where everything is made fresh daily at 3 am. And everything is wonderful thete. But I gotta say this place will probably close unfortunately. The Yelps are getting worse. Turkey sandwich is one tiny piece of pressed turkey. Idiotic. Pasta scampi swims in oil and isn't edible. Too bad but with incredibly stupid customer dis-service by the head guy, plus the poor overpriced food that, was my last time ever going in there. At 8 am the place was empty so it's not just me. read more

This Corner Bakery would have ok food if they didn't cut corners so often. I don't expect much for the price, but I felt like I was scammed when I opened my sandwich today. They have plenty of parking, though. I guess that's a plus. read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - Bacon and cheddar panini with avocado. Shameful. - Sandwiches Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I LOVE this place! It's a nice place and the people that work here are very nice! The club panini is my favorite hands down. I do love the chicken Caesar salad it's so fresh and light! The chili though is so good. On a cold day a bowl is all you need. They do have many desserts to pick from but again my preference is the coffee cake and they will warm it for you! Best choice! I had the pleasure meeting the manger and the general manger I had no idea who they were next to me but they were very nice also. I turned my husband onto this place and we can't get enough! read more

Unfortunately just had a horrible experience here, we ordered (2) sandwiches and some pastries to go. We had to repeat our order to the cashier 3 different times, but was fine with that she could have been new or training. After 25 min of waiting I asked them to check on my order, (the people behind me in line already got their order 5 min prior) or food was sitting up there (no idea how long) just waiting to be bagged but mine was a breakfast sandwich and it was now the lunch menu and they ran out of potatoes and were not making more.. then we get home both of our sandwiches were cold and soggy.. my avocado was brown and un edible. Really disappointed. read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - My avocado - Sandwiches Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Service is terrible! This is NOT Covid-related either. It was terrible before the shutdowns in March, and sadly it is not changed. Today, I phoned my order ahead...was quoted it would be ready in 10-15 minutes. I arrive, pay in person and wait my turn. After standing around for over 15 minutes and watching people order in-person and receive their orders before me I have to ask how much longer my order will be. The girl looks for my order and it was sitting on the counter the entire time (from before I arrived and paid!!). She hands me my order and walks away, not one attempt at an apology for the delay, or a care given that I was visibly upset and disappointed by this. Total time from calling the order in to receiving it was nearly 40 minutes!!! Completely UNACCEPTABLE!!! read more

I would say the quality of the food is below the price point in all honesty. The delivery was convenient, but $20 for a cold soup and subpar half a sandwich was unreasonable. I would undeniably rather drive to pay $20 for a delicious meal somewhere else. It's not that I would never return, but I would say I would most likely pick another location instead of Corner Bakery without any extenuating circumstances. read more

What a pleasant surprise! This was my first time at the Torrance location. I had eaten in the Long Beach location years ago and recall my friend saying that Corner Bakery was her favorite sandwich and soup place. My expectations were a 3 or 3.5 as this is a chain eatery. The sweetie and I were here on a Sunday afternoon thanks to a gift card from the holidays. I must start with the very delicious chicken pesto sandwich- chicken, arugula, tomatoes with sweet and spicy house vinaigrette and pesto mayo on a ciabiatta roll. YUM! Good sized portion. I strategically ate half and saved the other half for the lunch the next day. Even for the next day, the sandwich was still scrumptious! (Another reason why I ate just half of my sandwich is because the Corner Bakery is situated in the same strip mall as my favorite ice cream shop, Handel's. Had to leave room for ice cream.) Anyway, I was so pleased with my sandwich that I didn't bother sampling the sweetie's roast beef sandwich. I had him sample my sandwich and he said that he gives the edge to the chicken pesto. I had a little bit of my partner in dine's New England clam chowder and we both found the soup very impressive. The clam chowder was creamy, rich, and tasty. I do not recall having a better clam chowder in the Los Angeles or South Bay area so at this moment, Corner Bakery is our place for local clam chowder. (Our favorite all-time clam chowder exists in San Francisco.) Our sandwiches were accompanied by bags of chips and for fountain drinks, we chose the hibiscus lemonade which hit the spot. This Corner Bakery earns a solid four. The format is that you order in the front, get a number, and the staff brings you your food, and they also buss your tables as well. The booths were occupied and the corner booth had not yet been bussed yet so we chose the tables and chairs adjacent the window. The walls near the front have photos of the Old South Bay. Plenty of parking in the strip mall. We'll be back for sure and will probably try the paninis that they are known for. read more

Corner Bakery Cafe - Bacon cheese and egg breakfast panini and potatoes - Sandwiches Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I absolutely love Corner Bakery! I don't get to come here as often as I'd like, but I do try to make a point of it when I have time. Today, I ordered my favorites... Asian Wonton Salad: It comes with chicken, edamame, tomatoes, cucumbers, red bell peppers, carrots, onions, cilantro, crispy wontons, mixed greens and cabbage with their delicious ginger soy dressing. Chopped Salad: It comes with chicken, bacon, avocado, bleu cheese, tomatoes, green onions, ice berg and romaine lettuce and their signature house vinaigrette dressing. I also cut up red onions at home and add it to this salad. Roasted Tomato Basil Soup: It comes with croutons on top, but I tell them none for me, because I don't like wet bread. Because of the heat from the soup, the croutons soften and it's just gross to me, so be sure to ask for no croutons if you're like me! :-) They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner and I have also come for breakfast many times. The smoked bacon and cheddar panini will knock your socks off! They also have breakfast entrees like pancakes and eggs, the Farmer's Scrambler that consists of scrambled eggs, peppers, mushrooms, onions, and cheddar cheese, and other delicious choices. They do have Corner Combos in which you can choose a sandwich or panini combo, signature salad combo, or a pasta combo. I've never tried their pastas, since I'm not a huge fan of pasta, though I will occasionally eat it. Pasta turns to sugar in your system and my hips don't need anymore help spreading! At the same time, I'm a hypocrit about that because I absolutely love their banana muffins! Talk about something sinful! In all, this is a great location! The staff has always been friendly and helpful, though I have gotten stares from other patrons, probably because of my sleeve, because that's where the eyes tend to settle, but people are cool here. I will definitely try to come more often. read more

I'm tired of airport food, so I try to buy my take out food at grocery stores or convenient restaurants. This establishment is close to my hotel, so I popped in here to get something to go for my flight this evening. The set up reminds me of La Brea, Panera bread or Wild Flower Cafe. They have free wifi here which is nice, but I didn't care for the Egg salad sandwich. I'd probably try their breakfast items next time and update my rating. read more

This cafe is just beside our place which we have recently rented. This morning I walked in to have a latte as my routine in the mornings. My second experience in this cafe. The espresso machine was not working and the girl at the cash apologized very politely. I ordered a cafe which means I will have my cup and drink any choice from the 6 containers there. The variety of the food is good which makes this place easier for a family to eat here. The coffee is good ( absolutely not perfect). I will come back to try for food, for sure. read more

Came back on a Sunday afternoon, around 1:00. The place was pretty full, and I was worried we wouldn't get a table. Fortunately, it took a while to place our order (the guests before us couldn't make up their mind on what to order), so a few table did open up. Unfortunately even though we found tables, they were not clean. Apparently the staff bus the dishes, but didn't wipe down the tables. You can still see the dish marks, water from the cup condensation and crumbs from the meal still on the table and chairs. For this visit, it took particularly long for our food, which was a chop salad and a bowl of chili. I was able to tweet the person who was representing CB, and that person even knew I was waiting for quite a while. It was busy, but not necessarily slammed. I do like Corner Bakery, but this location is not one of my favorite ones. Unfortunately the next closest one is in Manhattan Beach, about 20 minutes away. This Redondo location has the monopoly of the Torrance/ Redondo/ South Bay area. Too bad its not like North Orange County, where you have a bunch to choose from in a 5 mile radius. Lowering my review to 3 stars as the bussing situation has not improved since my last visit on 12/2014 read more

I am writing a review due regarding my experience today. I come here a lot for to-go sandwiches. This is my hubby's go to sandwiches too. Today's incident: Although the cashier did not take my correct order and charged me with wrong item (which was less than I originally order); Thank you to the manager for stepping up and letting me keep what I order with the less price. I would have paid for the difference but he was kind enough to let me keep it. Food - Excellent Manager - Excellent Services - Excellent read more

I honestly can't tell the difference between panera and corner bakery!! Quite similar they are. A typical salad, soup, and sandwich place with a lot of baked goods! I don't really come here for the food but actually to come and study whenever near Starbucks are too crowded. One negative thing about this place compared to panera is that they don't have good lighting... It's quite dark... Their sandwich and soup and salad was all okay. Nothing too amazing but I do at times crave sandwich and soup! And it's a perfect place to grab that! They have a coffee stamp card that let me collect coffee stamps so it all worked out for me to grab a free large cup of coffee with my free birthday treat! Got myself a hand twisted lemon pie. I wouldn't get it again but it was free with the birthday coupon! Go sign up for corner bakery to get coupons and deals!! read more

I have been a regular customer since CB's opening (around 2008?). Sirak has been an excellent manager and I always appreciate getting my orders on-time and correctly made. My daughter Katrina worked for CB from 2017-2020 (covid furlough), since then she found another job. I live next door to CB. I recently felt comfortable to order food from CB but the staff keeps forgetting my online orders that i paid for already or telling me "WE BEEN BUSY", happened 2-3 times. I ordered my food online today 1 hour ahead so i can take the food for my lunch at work. WHEN I GOT THERE, THEY TOLD ME, SORRY WE WERE BUSY!!! I told the guy i want my money back and left without my food. If the guy has not refunded me, i will file a dispute with my credit card for nonservice. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO CB AGAIN!! I AM TOO BUSY TO GIVE CB ANOTHER CHANCE. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. THERE IS NO EXCUSE WITH ONLINE ORDERS PREPAID THAT WAS ORDERED 1 HOUR EARLIER. I WANT A FOLLOWUP WITH MY REFUND FOR TODAY'S ORDER.

Unfortunately this place used to be a great place to dine. Breakfast lunch and dinner. I guess it's a sign of the times. We waited forever to place our order even though we were the only ones in line. Then we sat down and literally 6 dirty tables surrounded us. Our food took a while, to-go's we're definitely the priority. There was only one other diner sitting at a table. Not sure if if we will be back read more

Casual sit down or take-out restaurant plus bakery. Order at front and food is delivered to your table. Located on PCH between Redondo Beach and Torrance. Plenty of parking. I ordered the entree sized Asian Chicken Salad. The others ordered the Chicken Pomodoro with chips and 1/2 meatball sandwich with side chopped salad and chips. Even when crowded, our food came out fast and we all enjoyed what we ordered. Great deal with an email club coupon. Total bill came to $20.47. Highly recommend joining their club for great deals delivered to your in-box. read more
