Horrible. Just decided to try this place out since I heard they had a promotional combo deal. The “chicken panini” I ordered to go with soup had a measly 2-3 tiny morsels of chicken on there if any. Nothing else, it’s bread and whatever greasy thing they put in there. It’s an obvious ill attempt to serve good food. I was actually excited since I haven’t been here in over 5 years. I have no doubt this chain at least this location does not what it takes to survive the next couple years. PS please clean the sewer smell out of your restrooms, you are serving food and that seeps out into the restaurant,

Corner Bakery is one of those places that always feels warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is cozy, casual, and perfect for everything from a quick breakfast to a relaxed lunch. The pasta dishes are especially comforting—fresh, flavorful, and portioned generously. Pairing them with their signature soups or salads makes for a really satisfying meal.
The staff is friendly and attentive, and food usually comes out quickly, even during busier hours. I also love that they have plenty of healthier options alongside the more indulgent ones, so it’s easy to find something for every mood.

Ordered at the counter. Menu had good variety. Friendly service. But I guess you get what you pay for. Dirty inside (particularly floors and doors), cheap chairs and tables, food was not fresh. Bathroom was so dirty, did not use it. Just wasn’t for me.

Tasty and delicious restaurants. Sandwiches and salads are highly recommended . Always clean and quiet. Tasty pastas and desserts, too. Pastas are highly recommended. The servers are very nice and always smile. It feels so good . If you’re hungry, please go and eat.
Thank you.

This place is so beat up. Furniture damaged just has a very sad feel to it. I figure if that is how they let the front look what is going on in the kitchen??? Used to go there often it was always a little beat up. But the owners are showing they don’t care.

I was with someone in a wheelchair and had to get up several times to ask for napkins, cutlery, an extra plate (even though we had already asked another employee when we were served the sandwich, she ignored the request), the soda machine’s CO2 was out along with the Diet Pepsi. I would hate to think of my friend being alone at the restaurant and having to go back and forth in her wheelchair, being ignored when making simple requests. It seemed the staff were all in the back making to-go orders instead of taking care of the present customers. I understand that things like DoorDash has contributed to this system, but it shouldn’t be at the total expense of service. The sandwich was also dry. I didn’t dare get up again to ask for more sauce or spread.

Mid-September 2022 was the first time we came to this Corner Bakery for breakfast in a long time. When we come here, it’s always before 9 am on a Sunday, and we’ve been advised to park in the parking spaces near the restaurant. However, there is a parking garage shared with the nearby restaurant, and it has lots of parking spaces.
We walked in and looked at the big menus displayed high above the order counter, and then placed an order. I ordered a bacon wrap, and R ordered steel-cut oatmeal. We were given a number and then sat at a table inside the restaurant, placing the number on a stand so the employees would know where to bring our order.

well. first thing I get in the waiter is rude and they got my order short so I had to order again after I got the drinks soup and food and left home. I find out the soup was a very small portion not an actual bowl. but that’s fine. What’s even worse? I opened it and it does not have any chicken when I order the chicken soup. It’s just noodles and broth I’m not sure if I will go back.

Stopped in for a late lunch. We ordered the ‘Chicken Carbonara’ bowl (small serving), and ‘Ham and Swiss’ sandwich.
The ‘Chicken Carbonara’ was served with a light yet flavorful sauce, generous amounts of chicken and bacon. The ‘Ham and Swiss’ sandwich was a perfect size for lunch, served on a sourdough roll with tomatoes, onions, and a light Italian dressing.
This lunchtime meal was good quality and represented good value.
The staff person who took our order responded patiently to our questions, and our food arrived just a short time later.
The restaurant and tables were clean when we arrived and our table was cleared for us shortly after we finished.
There is a surprising amount of outdoor seating available. This day, all the tables were clean and in good order.
We’ve visited this Corner Cafe location many times during our trips to Irvine over the years. The food and service have been consistently good. “We’ll be back.”
