we were greeted when we came in and the workers were quick to greet us and the pastries looks nice and aesthetically pleasing

I would give a zero star if I could. Food bad, service is terrible, always empty and understandably so because it is that bad. Ordered the uptown turkey and came like this. read more

Corner Bakery - Uptown turkey, 1 small slice of turkey. The worst service I have had. - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Ordered a big order to pick up at 9am. Order not ready. Asked for extra cream cheese and she offered to sell a 1" container of cream cheese for 70 cents. They should give you enough cream cheese in the first place for a dozen bagels. Tried to order a latte and their machine is broken. Good thing I check the bags because they forgot the initial cream cheese I ordered. Get it together!! read more

Corner Bakery - I was told that "sometimes" their expresso machine is broken so they put those sign up just in case. - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Ana, California

The two stars if for their customer service because the foh manager and associate we're both very friendly. As for the food, it was a disappointment. I used to come here for the Swiss chilled oatmeal but they changed the name to Berry overnight oats so that's what I ordered. Apparently they downgraded the quality when they changed the name because my order was not appetizing at all. The apples were super salty which was very confusing. The banana was rotten. If you slice open a banana and it's all brown and spoiled, why would you serve it? Just 86 the bananas! I work in the kitchen and I have basic standards that I refuse to budge on. One of them, is NEVER SERVE ANYTHING THAT IS POSSIBLY SPOILED. The fruit was clearly old. I had hopes for this location but they need to pay more attention and hire cooks that actually care about quality. read more

Ordered catered lunch for 75 people for my mom's funeral a few weeks ago and I'm so disappointed in Corner Bakery. I submitted multiple forms online to have someone contact me, called the local store, went INTO a local store, put a note on my online order to have someone contact me about the order... nobody EVER reached out and I couldn't find anyone to answer a few important questions. When the food was delivered, they only gave us plates, napkins and silverware for 20 people so my daughter had to leave the service to go buy more supplies at the local store. They delivered early and we weren't even there to confirm the order or check the food, we arrived just as they were leaving and they bailed before we knew we didn't have enough plates. $1500 order and we couldn't connect with anyone in catering to ask a few questions. One star for Corner Bakery. Communication was terrible and if someone orders food for 75 people you should supply enough plates and utensils for them to eat it. Not what you want to deal with the day of a funeral service. read more

Supper mad I came to get breakfast to go, this place use to be one of my favorite not anymore the services it is bad after 20 minutes waiting the cashier tells me no pancakes, I can not do anything I am just the cashier sorry, never coming again. read more

If you're craving chicken noodle soup, you're better off going to Chick Fil A instead. The chicken tasted like small hard cubes of fake chicken and the noodles tasted stiff (though cooked) but not comforting. It was equivalent to a low level chicken soup from the can. The workers looked so chaotic like chickens with their heads cut off as they were trying to fill all the orders on a Saturday after lunch during December. I will guess they are most likely understaffed as it looked like people from the back of kitchen were helping customers at the register and didn't know how to properly speak to customers - the stress was very evident in her language and not positive in her interaction with a lady who was waiting 45 mins for her food and her order was lost. The worker said they couldn't put her order in the front of the line and she would have to wait another 20-30 mins again. I give them three stars because I know they can do better and in a pinch when I'm really hungry I would still go here due to the convenience of location in the mall. read more

Really Old and still Apple Danish horrible... I mean I had oatmeal I can't go wrong with that hello... service blah No Sandwiches on croissant Idk just Not the best time.. As I left I replaced it with a lemon buncake. I had to ask management was like whatever oh it was the last one... (apple Danish) Bye" service get on it ! read more

I hardly ever review anything on Yelp but this was extremely necessary. I tried to order the berries and cream cold brew coffee, which they told me they didn't have it available. Okay fine. Yet, one of the workers approached the guy at the register and said here's the berries n creme and showed the guy the pitcher. The guy brushed him off and told me they only had the vanilla sweet cream..so I opted for that... then I ordered a lemon bar, paid for my drink + cappuccino + food and waited for it to come out. Later another employee approached me and told me there wasn't any lemon bar left and told me to pick something else why not tell me at the register? Anyways, came back to work only to find out my cappuccino was only warmed up milk.. no coffee whatsoever. First and last time ordering anything from this location. Tl;dr didn't have food or drinks available and the substitutes were trash. Messed up on my drinks. read more

Went in and placed an order to go. I got the Ham and Swiss for me. Wasn't a fan but I think I just picked the wrong thing. I'll be back again to get something new. read more

Went there for my hour lunch from work wasn't enough time. Service was extremely slow. Ending up having to get it to go taking bites while driving back to work. It appears they are terribly shorthanded. I also order coffee and they give me a cup. The first station was cold. The second was empty. The third was hot. But it should had been three out of three were hot not one out of three. I was extremely disappointed in this and the long time it took to get my food. It seems like its management now just doesn't care these days. I have no complaints about the food just the service at this location! read more

The place is so depressing. The floors and tables are dirty and the pictures of the food show sandwiches piled high with fresh basil, tomatoes and cheese. In reality you get a thin sandwich with no tomatoes. A half of sandwich and cup of soup is $16.00 read more

Such a great location with super friendly staff. If you have any issue at all, the manager, Aaron is there to make sure your needs are accommodated. This is by far my favorite corner bakery to come to. read more

This location is absolutely horrendous. I have received more pleasant and helpful service at McDonald's than this place. I am sitting in the parking lot after my meal, so that I can write this review to warn others. Don't waste your time. There's a McDonald's around the corner. After walking in, there were two young girls working at the front. They didn't greet us, nor did they even smile, or bother to display any customer service. Whatever, that's fine. They talked amongst one another, laughing, cracking jokes. Cool, that's great that they enjoy their job. But I'm just trying to order some food. Once they finally advised us that we could order at the register when we're ready, we ordered our food, paid, were given a transponder, and then we seated ourselves. I'd also like to mention that there were only two other customers in the entire restaurant, and the tables were overflowing with trash and plates. The booths and tables that were available, were dirty, had obviously not been wiped down, and there were crumbs all over the booths themselves. When our transponder went off, alerting us that our food was ready, we retrieved it from the front counter, where it had been left just sitting there. Okay. Whatever. The food itself was good, I don't have any complaints about that. Merely, the little to no customer service or cleanliness of the restaurant is the issue. Once we finished eating, my friend returned to the counter to order a few baby bundt cakes, and someone I believe to be the manager..was very rude to him. When my friend explained what variation of bundt cakes they wanted, the manager stated "I can't understand anything you're saying." What??????? Who says that. There were plenty of other ways to ask for clarification on his request. Anyway. If you need directions to the closest McDonald's, hit a girl up. read more

First time visiting, was doing a pickup order from the app. Walked in and it smells strongly of pee. So very outdated and not pleasant inside. Also all coffee drinks sold out and I would never pay $5 for a brownie that small. read more

Boy these people are very short handed for lunch today. No cheese on my marinara pasta. Had to go back up to counter for spoon. Not happy. Dirty dishes everywhere read more

I've been to a few of these, and this one didn't disappoint. Breakfast was served fast, food was hot and tasty - especially the bacon, because... bacon. Coffee options were good too, I tried a couple of flavors/species/roasts and all were quite appealing. I've had lunch here a couple of times, but this was my first breakfast, and next time I'm in the Costa Mesa area I'll check it out again. read more

Gone are the days when the Corner Bakery was the place to go for large portions at a good price. I live nearby and went there almost every day about five years ago, Never again. I ordered an uptown turkey sandwich today and it was two small slices of bread instead of three like a club and one very thin slice of turkey with lettuce, tomatoes, and bacon. $14.14. I know we live in an age of shrinkflation and inflation. However, the sandwich was so small that I had to go somewhere else to get something to eat because I was still very hungry. Compared to places like Board and Brew (huge sandwich with lots of turkey meat for around $10) and even Sprouts, who will make you a sandwich with tons of turkey and all the ingredients mentioned above for around $5). The Anaheim scrambler used to overflow in your plate with scrambled eggs and bacon with toast. Now, the portions are very small not to mention that the eggs are powdered eggs with powdered milk. I can't even believe it myself how disappointed I am and how much I used to love eating outside in the warm sun patio at the Corner Bakery. I will never, ever, go back. read more

Went here for the last time. We got two different panini's and couldn't tell difference. The only thing that resembled the picture on the wall was the grill marks on the bread. Had to open the sandwich to identify. Been going there for years but we are done. I thought they were playing a joke. They cut back so much on portions, it is a joke. Terrible value to go there. By looks of how many customers that were there at dinner time, I'm not the only one feeling like this. Like 6 people all together. read more

We stopped to eat at Corner Bakery Café on 1621 W. Sunflower Ave. in Santa Ana. This café is across the street from South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. Maria the cashier was nice and friendly. We ordered our food at the front counter then they bring it to our table. Appetizer: Chocolate Cheesecake; Diana and I shared this as we waited for our meal. It was very tasty. Entrée: I ordered: Chicken Pomodor Panini Sandwich; chicken, basil & spinach, tomato, provolone cheese, with mayo on sourdough bread. I added a Classic Caesar Salad at extra charge. It was very tasty. I drank a Coke Zero to balance my meal. Diana ordered: D.C. Chicken Salad Sandwich; chicken, apple slices, carrots, red onions, celery, mayo, almonds, lettuce, and tomato on whole grain harvest bread. Diana also ordered; A Classis Caesar Salad. A good combination of flavors. Diana also drank a Coke Zero. Dessert: one; Pecan Bar one; Chocolate Brownie Bar They were super duperly delicious. Then I walked outside and took more photos. I drove off to find another review. Robert H. read more

Hits the spot and has gluten free bread! A nice quick but not too quick meal out for brunch. The coffee is limited but the food is great

Good service kind of busy the patio outside was clean and well maintained I had a breakfast croissant and it was pretty good, the croissant was old and dry. My wife had the avocado breakfast wrap, she said it was fresh and good tasting. Also had the chocolate croissant, instead of real chocolate , it looked like it had Hershey's chocolate sprinkled over it. read more

Ordered food from here using a delivery service. When food should have been delivered received a call from driver that restaurant is "out of food". I speak to a corner bakery worker who tells me to choose something else as they are out of what I ordered. The corner bakery employee was incredibly rude and when I asked a question she replied "I already told you that!" So I cancelled my order. I had to fight the delivery service to get a refund. Lesson learned- corner bakery is unable to manage their inventory or train their workers in customer service. Don't use a delivery service to order from corner bakery as you may not receive your food. During theses covid times if you can't fulfill take out orders you won't stay in business long. My guess, Corner Bakery won't make it through the pandemic. Next time I will order from Panera. read more

Very disappointed with this specific Corner Bakery location. Came in for a Sunday morning brunch around 9:00am. Only one party ahead of us but we stood in line for a while. It was apparent both cashiers didn't know what they were doing. The manager had to come assist the other cashier. Our cashier didn't even know what buttons she was pushing or something!! I asked for the chicken apple sausage power thin panini ($3.89) with added brown-sugar oatmeal ($1). I kept looking at what she rang up.. the regular chicken apple sausage sandwich. Took her about 5 tries before she got it.. Boyfriend got the anaheim panini sandwich and added oven roasted potatoes ($1). After paying, i realized she had charged us $1.79 for the potatoes as its own side and not an addition to the sandwich. We let it go since it wasn't much of a difference.. Food took F-O-R-E-V-E-R to come. I've NEVER sat so long in any Corner Bakery so long when the place wasn't even really packed!! Saw another table compalin to one of the guys, too. When our food finally did come ... two thumbs down. The cheese in my panini was not close to melted, all our food came out cold except the oatmeal (overhead they ran out of oatmeal so i guess they had to wait to make more but it's NOT OKAY to serve a customer cold food). The anaheim sandwich was good. The potatoes? They didn't give much !!! Pathetic portion and the potatoes were also really dried out. Horrible food, horrible location. read more

Wow, it's a tough spot to be in to follow the first review which was 1 star. I gotta say I like this place. It's no more special than the next Corner Bakery but its decent food for a good price. They have plenty of promos and coupons that they send through email and sometimes snail mail. It's usually free coffee, breakfast, dessert here and there - enough to make it worth signing up for their newsletter. (http://www.cornerbakerycafe.com/DailyFeed.aspx) If you're in the mood for a simple cup of soup and or salad, this is the place to go. I wouldn't really go out of my way to come to this location, but it never lets me down. Today when I was having a not so pleasant evening, I decided to plop myself down on one of their comfortable booths, turn on my computer (YAY FREE WIFI) and have a nice cup of chicken noodle soup. I got the salad combo since its $2 more for a fresh made salad. Like all CB's you order up front, pay and take a number. You find your own seat and a server will come by with your order shortly. The funny thing is with a few CB's I've been to now, the soups always come with a spoon but you have to get the fork yourself (utensils are usually by the soda machines, as are napkins.) Today the manager came by and pointed out there's a survey on the front of the receipt and he said I'll bring you some dessert if you fill it out. Sweet! That's next. read more

Hard to find, but cute corner bakery. Lots of booths, plenty of parking and not much of a study place for Internet junkies. Limit plugs Place to chill, yes. Roomy, yes. LOTS of patio and outside seating with is pretty sweet. Inside is pretty big with booths. Back area has awesome area where you can pull tables together and fit like 15ppl for a meeting or something. Corner Bakery is always a good place to bring coworkers, business friends and such for causal eats. Parking: Enough, plenty Service: Good, but forgetful of things. Food: Decent.

This corner bakery is so dirty and and not well maintained. I didn't not feel comfortable eating my food because everything was unsanitary. The coffee pots were rusted looks like it had old coffee. The drink station, tables, silverware all looked dirty and sticky. Looking into the kitchen there is trash on the floor. I did not eat my food because it felt it could have bacteria or contamination. read more
