This location is always quick, even if it's always crowded. My order always comes out correctly, but it can be very slow. The desserts are always fantastic! read more

There was a point I used to think really highly of corner bakery, although every visit brings down my expectations. This place has a large variety of sandwiches, soups, salads, pasta, baked goods you name it, solid lunch spot in my opinion. The food is still good, just not what it used to be. I used to pick Corner Bakery over Panera, but now I must say Panera is the way to go. Though Panera has less options, their food is more flavorful, and deff a lot more consistent with quality. But CB is worth a visit every now and then. read more

See all

I enjoy corner bakery for the following reasons: - Chicken Pomodori sandwhich is amazing. - You can have avacado added to anything (and I LOVE avacado) - You don't have to tip - Good desert selection (especially the mini pies) - Quick service and overall a healthly menu - Great coffee Overall it is better than panera except in the bagel department. I also am not a fan of the tomato soup here. read more

I tasted a bit of the pumpkin/walnut cake which was tasty but a little dry as well as the cheddar broccoli soup which was superb. I like the menu and the cozy atmosphere of this place though I have been to other corner bakery's that were less comfortable. read more

This place is good! How have I never eaten here before? ;0) California Grille veggie panini! Good stuff! It has the same vibe as Panera. Good quality food on the go -or -hey, sit and chill awhile. I enjoyed the food and am still surprised I had never been before considering I'm in that area shopping all the time. I enjoyed my experience. Oh, and the brownie bites....to die for! read more

I love Corner Bakery and I really like this location. It's always busy, but the service has been terrific each time I come here (mostly during lunch). My best suggestion is to preorder the food by phone because it takes awhile for the food to get prepared. I've signed up to Corner Bakery online so I constantly get coupons and offers for free or discounted food. They also send you special deals during the month of your birthday. They have offers through Facebook once in awhile as well, so you can be on the look out for that. I just recently had a voucher for a free corner combo meal worth around $10. For the combo meal, it's similar to Panera where you can get half a salad/sandwich/panini and a soup or whatever combination you want. I ordered the new Turkey Monterey Panini with a grilled chicken Cesar salad and it was delicious (especially since it was free). I've had a few other items such as the Chopped salad, Roasted Tomato Basil soup, Tortilla soup, and a few other things. Everything tastes fresh and is very flavorful. When I was in the city, I would stop by at a Corner Bakery for breakfast once in awhile and it's one of my fav places for oatmeal or just a plain egg sandwich. They have many options for all kinds of pastries and desserts, so leave some room for that! It's a great spot for a meal at any time of the day, so I know I will be back soon since I work super close. read more

This place is okay. My usuals are: the uptown turkey, santa fe ranch salad with avocado, and the chicken tortilla soup. If i'm feeling up for pasta, I get the pesto cavatappi. Food is decent. Not bad. I mean c'mon. You definitely come here to avoid grease and fat in other joints. But for a cafe/bakery, it does the trick. Nothing here has ever completely wowed me, but I don't leave hungry either. I like that I can get a cup of parmesan here and fill it with olive oil; I use this to compliment my bread. Make sure if you get bakery desserts to ask them to heat it up for you before serving. Anyways, it's clean and people will serve your food at your table, but it's not as though you'd come here for the experience. It's a little pricier, but all in all, acceptable. read more

I have always gotten the chicken carbonara here which is delicious here yet such simple ingredients! But today I chose to try something new: dc chicken salad on steakhouse rye sandwich! This was good as well but next time I will ask them to add red onions on top. I love chicken salad with red onions. They gave me a bit too much lettuce, woah. I did get the corner combo with 1/2 sandwich, chips, cookie, pickle, and mac&cheese! Wow I did not know you can pick mac&cheese! I asked them if I could get chips instead but they said it is included! So wow a lot is included. I was stuffed! It would have been a good meal to split with my 2 year old which was my plan but he only wanted the cookie, aye. We also ordered a kids milk. All this for just under $9. Great! Free wifi here. Not fast enough for youtubing though. read more

The service was courteous and efficient. It's a great place to have dinner after watching a movie or after work. The food is fresh and appealing read more

This place is one of my new favorite spot at this area to grab some fresh and delicious food. I really love their Chicken Panini, it is so tasty, flavorful, and so delicious. Worth to try again and again. You can also try their phenomenal salads, it is so perfectly made, and it is one of their best seller. They also have pastas, bagels, sandwiches, breads, and soups. Everything on their menu is really worth a try! All of it is reasonably priced. You will absolutely love all of their food. Their service is a top-notch. Their staff is really nice, friendly, and very welcoming. They will guide and assist you the whole time. They will help to make the experience much better and unforgettable. All of them are decent and professional. Corner Bakery is easy to find, their location is very accessible, and they are also near to many different well-known places around the area. Corner Bakery is very convenient. Thank you for such a wonderful service! All of the staff is great! Thank you! Will go back again soon! Keep up the good work! read more

Last summer my wife, children, and I had lunch at CBC and Marcus went over and above making our meal special. He actually gave us some of his own lunch when my boys saw him eating it. This summer 2018 he again took time to come talk to us, and even remember our name. Food is always great but even better when the service is tip-top!! Thank you CBC and Marcus. read more

I've never had a problem getting my pesto cavatappi with extra noodles at the old orchard location. They are always happy to do this for me. However, today I was getting lunch with my dad and when I asked to get extra noodles the workers told me that they aren't able to do so. I then told them that the other location ALWAYS gives me extra noodles without hesitation. I don't understand why they tried to give me a bunch of lame excuses as to why I can't get extra noodles. My dad even offered to pay more for the noodles. They then said that "there's no button" for extra noodles. I'm very disappointed and don't plan on returning to this location anytime soon. Poor customer service. Two of the employees were both talking over one another and made me feel like I was asking for something impossible. read more

I ordered breakfast sandwiches, fruit and coffee for a 30 minute meeting. Delivery time was scheduled for 8:00-8:15am, my event started at 8:30. Delivery showed up at 8:45! What's worse, they are 2 blocks away! Rude, unorganized staff, and the driver was overwhelmed. I will never order from this location again. read more

Food was barely warm and they forgot the bacon. Coffee was extremely hot, so much that I could have warmed my food up on it. Waiter delivered the napkins and cutlery all scrunched up in his hand. All in all meh! read more

I stopped in for Breakfast and ordered the pumpkin spice pancakes. They were awesome. I met Angela while I was there and she made sure I got my order quickly since I was on my way to work and was in a rush. She was super friendly and helpful. I really appreciate this kind of service which can be hard to find now days. The food rocks too! read more

Ooooooo laawwwwwdd.. deez pancakes are Legendary . Man I love getting these pancakes on a Sunday morning . They taste especially fire on a Sunday!! AND THE hibiscus tea is soooooo good!! Corner backers will always have a small portion of my heart read more

none of the employees are wearing gloves...gross. & i ordered a caesar salad and it came with lettuce that was just about to go bad, not fresh at all. mediocre & a waste of money for the poor quality you're given. read more

I love going here for lunch. They have plenty of seating and really quick service. Best of all, all their food is fresh and tastes great. Their breads are baked fresh and all their servings are pretty big. This is definitely a great, quick place to get a fresh meal. read more

First time coming here in a while, but I will NEVER come here again. I ordered a half salad half soup and the soup barely had anything in it besides broth. I went up to the register asked if I can get another soup, I went back to my seat, the "manager" of the store named zuri literally told me she can only give me a HALF OF A HALF cup soup since there was no noodles, I looked at her and was extremely insulted. She showed no care or customer service and she seemed upset that I even had an issue, as if I'm bothering her. I will be taking this up to corporate as this was an extremely insulting experience and I've never heard of a restaurant not fixing an issue with food quality. Very upset and irritated and basically made me look bad in front of a friend. She insinuated I was lying to get more soup, HORRIBLE experience. read more

Wi-fi, healthy food and a comfy seat. What more can you ask for??? My fav is the trio-salad (tuna salad, pasta caprese, and D.C. Chicken). Mmm mmmm mmmm and some steak rye bread....a nice lemonade and water...Heavenly lunches and chillaxed here!!! read more

A great place to stop in at before or after a movie viewing - but, because I tend to eat here a bit later in the day the service, at least in my case, wasn't really stellar (some of the tables not being cleared, the "get your own'"silverware and soda island not being restocked). But otherwise the food tends to be pretty good. Since the cost of a sandwich is a bit pricey though (6 bucks), I tend to go for the Combo: half a sandwich and a salad/soup. read more

I have seen this place for some time and wanted to try it. Monday was the day. It looked inviting. We walked in- big, open, spacious. The neatly arranged baked goods about looked delicious. It felt good. We saw other people enjoying their food inside and outside. It seemed more people were behind the counter than were patrons, and they all seemed "very busy". We finally got a weak "may I help you because I see you are not going away despite my best efforts to look real busy and ignore you" kind of way. I told the girl it was our first time at any Corner Bakery, and asked if we sat down and they waited on us or what. She rolled her eyes and with great effort said to read the menu on the wall or by the register, then she went in back to do something. I could clearly see she was "real busy". We looked at the menu for several minutes and tried to take it all in. Other people it seemed were having trouble getting helped as all behind the counter were "real busy". Finally we decided on a turkey sandwich and cup of chili for my wife and I would have the roasted pepper and cheese sandwich (no meat) on some flavored bread, the featured tomato basil soup, and cup of coffee for me (good coffee). We sat down and as we looked around we could not figure out why the 20 - 25 people we saw with corner bakery shirts on (I'm NOT exaggerating here) were doing that everyone was "real busy" and having trouble taking care of the patrons who were there. Maybe they had a catering order for the entire city of Lincolnwood? Real weird though. Soon the server wanders by with someones tray and is trying to tell us something. We play a game of charades (his english was not too good) and figure out the flavored bread that is supposed to come with the sandwich is unavailable. Surely, with all these people behind the counter and noone waiting we will have no trouble. Nope she sees us coming and goes to the back again. Now I'm looking for the TV camera and the game show host. We both pick the fecille bread, and shortly the food comes. A taste of the soup, the chilli, and my sandwich and I cannot believe it. This is like photo food. Looks great but don't try to eat it, it has no flavor at all. At $26 for 2 sandwiches, 2 cups of soup, and a coffee I should have taken it back, but we had limited time and were hungry. If it were half the price it would not have been worth it. To use my mother's restaurant critic jargon--"we're not comin' back". read more

The food tastes great here, but it a little pricey and definitely not as healthy as you would think. They have amazing pastries and really good salads as well. The service is hit or miss, but it's like panera where you just walk up and order your food. You're not depending on a waitress or anything. read more

Lemon orzo soup is the bomb!!! ... so are their pancakes!!! I've never had such fluffy and buttery pancakes ever. I'd even say they are much better than iHOP's! read more

My wife and I decided that we had a taste for a salad, so we came here. We asked to see what the differences were in the sizes of the salads and were shown the different size bowls. My wife ordered the small Bbq chicken salad and I ordered the large new Italian chef salad. The problem was that each salad barely filled half the bowl, a very meager portion in each. We were better off going to the Cheesecake Factory for a better salad and a better portion. This place is really looking rundown since the last time we were here and there were flys and fruit flys flying around. I don't think we will be returning any time soon! read more

I first tried this place this week, and since then, I've eaten here four times. When I first came in here, I thought it was some ersatz version of Panera. While it does resemble Panera a lot, it has many more menu options and a more open floor plan. You also don't have to stand around with your number; the server brings you the food if it's a long wait. I really love how it's a community gathering plae of sorts; just came back an hour ago and saw moms, high school students, business students, and lone wifi users all enjoying food together.So far I've tried the Tuna Salad, California Veggie, Poblano Fresco, and the Truffle Hot Chocolate. Everything was almost perfect, but not quite. For example, the cali veggie was a little bland, the poblano fresco a little too dry, and the hot chocolate a little too sweet. The fourth time I decided to customize my sandwich by asking for pesto mayo with my tuna sandwich and that was a win! So don't hesitate to ask for changes. I would give five stars if things were about $1-$1.50 less; each sandwich is $7 to $8, and when you add in a drink and tax, it is $10+. Also they charge 69 cents for a piece of bread with soup, whereas at Panera it is free. Servings are large however; so it can be a good value if you share with a friend or take half home. 4.5/5 read more

Very happy with the catering provided by Corner Bakery on Touhy. Sandwiches were delicious and the delivery person was very helpful and set up the food exactly as we asked. I'd recommend ordering in from here if you have a business lunch/dinner. read more

Constant problems at this location. We have had to get food remade at least 4 times. The last issue was them failing to make an order placed online. Their system was supposedly "down", yet the order printed somewhere in the back (which they failed to check for incoming orders). Significant failure in management... read more

They have a great BLT egg sandwich. With the extra avocado and crispy bacon it was amazing.

In love with their panini sandwiches and chocolate bundt cakes. Great service too! Great place to sit down and relax a little.

Reasonably priced breakfast. We had the Farmer's Scramble, a yogurt parfait and oatmeal. Quick service, clean restaurant. Not snooty like Panera. Certainly worth a trip. Rule of thumb you get better value, service and attitude the further you go away from Chicago city limits. read more

Love this location. Marcus the GM is such a wonderful man. I come here often with my toddlers and they love all the staff here. I've never met such happy employees all around at any establishment. MARCUS and his team from Yuri, to Aida to just everyone (the list goes on and on)all phenomenal. They treat my family and I like we are their own. Since we started frequenting this location often in the last year i noticed that many customers are regulars and they come back simply because of their genuine love and care. Keep up the great work and hire more of MARCUS. Seriously this man should be promoted to the BIG DAWG. As long as Marcus and his team continue working here we will continue going. read more

I love their California Grill panini. The service has always been good and the free wi-fi is such a great bonus! Since there is a lot of seating, I can sit there for hours at a time on my laptop, eating their great food (especially the desserts) and don't feel pressured to leave right away. read more

Corner bakery is always a good choice, this location is always kept clean. Customer service could use a touch up, cashiers are sometimes grumpy. Great salads & soup. Try the pineapple orange smoothie very yum! Has a slight taste of guayaba...could just be the Cuban in me read more

Went here to pick up food to go. I got the santa fey salad which unfortunately has more calories than most of the sandwich's there. The chicken sandwich with pesto is very delicious and the tomatoes on the sandwich were super fresh. This place is okay and the food quality does not exceed expectations. read more

This review is for the Old Orchard location. I ordered lunch for my office today so a catered order for 15 people. The woman who delivered it here was lovely and everything was freshly prepared and delicious. Thank you for making our staff lunch so special! read more

I come here quite frequently, and I usually get the club panini which is really good. But lately the prices have gone through the roof, and the portions have gotten smaller. Counter staff are usually friendly, which is a plus read more

Best CBC ... love the Chicken Pesto!!

I am in LOVE with the Sante Fe Ranch entree salad here .. simply the best!! And the desserts here are just decadent .. ALL OF THEM!! This location, by far, has the best customer service! read more
