    Chicken Pomodori w Chopped Salad
    Annabeth T.

    I've been to Corner Bakery a ton of times and I will say that the service is top tier. I never have an issue with my food and the workers always try their best to help with explaining the menu. Only reason I'm giving a one star is due to what I've witnessed a few times when I've stopped by. I've seen the owner talk to the employees in a somewhat rude and unprofessional manner. I have worked in the food industry in the past and I understand the struggles that come with customer service, so I find it frustrating to see that they have an owner that doesn't seem too amiable. Everything else is above my expectations and I will continue to support the workers there.

    Ok so this cafe gave me a vibe mixture of Chick-fil-A, Panera, Starbucks, and Noodles & Company. Now you might think that's a weird mixture, but Corner Bakery Cafe makes it work. When I came here it was for a quick dinner and a coffee. When I walked in there weren't too many people there and tables were social distanced with mask enforced when walking around. The workers were super nice and used the phrase "my pleasure," which is most likely why I get Chick-Fil-A vibes. However according to my date this is an Amazing study spot. She told me they have plenty of cool coffee deals and are pretty quick in making your drinks. This is her go to spot when she wants to get work done and it seemed that was true for the other people in there. As for the food and coffee it was alright. We both ordered pasta dishes and went with the entre size. Let's just say the amount of food they give you for the price is breathtaking! For $10 I was able to get so much pasta that it was big enough for two filling meals! This was honestly my favorite part of the cafe. So all in all if you are looking for a study spot come here. You could honestly spend the whole day studying here. If you get lunch you'll also have enough for dinner. If you have a coffee addiction they offer plenty of coffee deals to tame your desire! So go on ahead and check out Corner Bakery Cafe!

    Find myself looking for lunch while taking a relaxing drive, and low and behold I ran into this place which had an open drive-through. The staff was very patient with me as I read through the entire menu as I hadn't been to a corner bakery in quite a long time. Decided on a half a sandwich which should've been put in a smaller container because when I opened it it had pretty much falling apart. But it was still warm and a variety of fresh flavors. The hibiscus lemonade tea was perfect and hit the spot and felt like a great treat

    Choose any 2 with albacore tuna melt and chicken tortilla soup

    When my Amazon packages can't get delivered because I'm not home they tend to get sent to the drugstore in Shorewood that's down the street from this Corner Bakery. Sometimes I go to the Culver's, but on this most recent trip I felt like trying the Corner Bakery since the menu looked pretty good. It's a chain. It's kind of like a Panera but different. I would say it's a more extensive menu but Panera has pasta and stuff. Corner Bakery is a little more flexible in terms of what you can get as part of a "choose 2" combo. I always get a combo of items when I can because it's a chance to try different things. I chose a half albacore tuna melt and chicken tortilla soup. The soup was good but not mind-blowing. It was similar to what I've had at other establishments. I did like the little tortilla-chip garnish. I really enjoyed the albacore tuna melt. The tuna salad had good onion-and-celery flavor. The cheddar went well with it. The bread was toasted nicely. I wouldn't compare this place with Benji's deli but on pure tuna-melt points they're close. They bus your table for you. I was expecting Panera-like ambiance so I was surprised that the person who brought me my meal offered to get my silverware and stuff. I realized I didn't actually need a knife and fork to eat soup, and that they had provided me a spoon, after I asked. But it was still nice. I want to try the meatballs either in panini form or with pasta. Also this looks like a nice place to get breakfast or come with a laptop and get work done. They have plug-ins under the bar which is a nice touch. Ignore no more, I'll probably be back.

    Well out with the old and in with the new. Corner Bakery has hooked up an otherwise dull joint into a nice little addition to Capital Drive in Shorewood. Sure they have some waitstaff kinks to work out but considering they have been open for just about a week or so they are doing fine. Need snacks? Want some dessert? Early riser and wan't breakfast? This is your place with hours ranging from 6 am or 6:30 am on the weekends to close. They also are right near the Oak Leaf trail bridge that crosses over busy Capital Drive. With a massive patio area this is a great place to start the morning out and the prices are reasonable. I enjoyed a solid scramble that I ended up pretty full from. All summed up this is a welcome addition to the scene. Fast and easy, in and out. Good food too! I'm down! Welcome to the neighborhood!

The interior is way nicer looking than the outside with a nice balance of old with modern looks. Huge wooden bar, tile floors, dark wood, tin ceiling and light walls completely covered with art etc. The table presentation was done very well. I would start with the red snapper which is a gin Bloody Mary spicy which was good but boring garnish wise with a string bean, shaved carrot and a thin pickle. The staff was excellent from start to finish. The menu has some very good items but I was there for the smothered browns which is similar to a slinger from the St. Louis area which I love. The smothered browns is crisply hash browns topped with melted cheese, chili, two eggs topped fresh chives with toast.. The smothered browns were so delicious and seasoned nicely with mild chili, just a great combination. The toast was excellent because it was a great quality bakery, an artisan style I like say with that nice chew like a sourdough. Overall this was a great upscale casual restaurant to chill on a Sunday morning having the brunch experience and reasonably priced I thought.

The selection was a bit more limited than I would have expected from a boulangerie, but the cinnamon roll was very good (probably would have been better if it had been warmed up but that was not offered). And the cookies that we brought home (chocolate chip and gingersnap) were also very good. I also tried a bite of my husband's quiche and it was very good--definitely made in-house!
