Consistently great breakfast each time we've eaten here. My parents went based on our recommendation and they regularly eat here when in town.

Typical mom and pops type breakfast fare. I cant say that my experience was bad, but it wasn't the best. The food was mildly mediocre at best, however the breakfast burrito that my wife ate looked damn good. Maybe on a whim I'll return, but am not making it a must to venue.

We went here for lunch. It is a pleasant atmosphere. We had a very lackluster waiter that gave my wife the wrong order and was not eager to correct it. The prices seemed high for average, mediocre food. Maybe the breakfast is better.

This is such a sweet little place. It is so much better than the unfathomably popular Iowa Cafe. Cozy Corner is not fancy, but it's got a fab tuna melt, nice breakfasts, and a friendly staff. Sometimes your server may get a little scarce, but once you catch her, she's great. The only complaint I have is that I wish they had longer hours, but then that isn't really an insult, is it? :)

My family and I have been here several times and every experience we've had here has been great! My four year old LOVES their French toast so much that she refuses to try anything else! Their pecan waffles and pancakes are fantastic and their eggs are always cooked perfectly. The waitresses already recognize us and are always friendly and welcoming. We've met the owner, as well, and he's just as nice, eager to get to know you and making sure that everything was tasty. This is hands down the best breakfast/lunch spot in the East Valley!

Breakfast is really great here! I like that that you have a choice between hash browns and home fries because I love crispy hash browns and my husband likes home fries. He always wants to go to the places with home fries and I just don't like them, so having both available is awesome especially since they make their hash browns crisp (just how I love them). The omelets are always a great choice. My husband likes the chicken fried steak and eggs. My daughter loves the lunch turkey sandwich with chili. By the way, the chili is amazing! I've ordered the BBQ burger but not enough BBQ sauce and not something I would order again as it is kinda fast food tasting. The burgers are not homemade like the rest of the food they serve. None of us liked the coleslaw except my husband because he likes horseradish and the kids and I hate it. The salsa is not spicy so forget about ordering anything Mexican here if you like spicy. Homemade soup and service is always amazing! It is home cooking so don't expect anything upscale, just great food. The kids like it because if has the atmosphere and the feel of Grandma's house and could use a little updating but then it might not seem like Grandma's house if they updated it, so I don't know if I would want that or not?

If you're looking for a very casual breakfast in a cozy diner type atmosphere, then this place will work well. The staff is friendly, and as I said, it's very casual. The walls are littered with little knick knacks. The food, is your run-of-the-mill diner food. I went in for a breakfast, i.e. eggs, bacon, potatoes, and pancakes. That's precisely what I received, no more no less. It didn't knock me back by any means, but it wasn't bad. The pancakes were made from a premix, but other than that the food was acceptable and appreciated. Not a place I'd go out of my way to visit, but in the area and hungry, it fits the bill.

My dad loves this place so I decided to give it a try...well, I was not super impressed. The food was okay. The French toast was dry and the eggs were bland. The service was definitely below average, and the waitress's only concern seemed to be how quickly she could get us out of the restaurant.

Other than being snow-bird central, we love this place. Great service, great breakfast food, and they always have the nicest things to say about our one year old! Wait can be very long from November through April due to all of the geezers and fogeys (old people, snowbirds). However, its worth the wait.

Ali B.
Old people central! My boyfriend found this place on Yelp so we decided to give it a try. The service wasn't bad. A lot of the people eating there were clearly regulars. The whole ambiance was clearly catering to the elderly. Which is fine! But as a couple in our early twenties, we felt a little out of place. My boyfriend got steak and eggs and he was not too wowed by them, but seemed to think they were fine. One thing I liked was that they had an option for a mini omelette. Perfect for if you are not totally starving. It was not too bad. I felt too young for this place, but it was a nice little restaurant, I liked seeing the staff interact with the regulars. Also liked the little candies they had out to take before you leave. Exciting when it is something other than a mint haha.

The place is close and a cozy diner atmosphere. The food was good, but not spectacular. They were a little pricey for what I ordered. Also they do not have any pancake and egg meals, you have to buy them separately? With no.wait time on a Sunday afternoon, it was good.

The Cozy Corner Cafe. We have been here once and we would never come back. The service was terrible, and our waitress acted like we didn't exist. She asked what we wanted to drink, what we wanted to eat and to give us the bill, all of the other times, she never asked how the food was or anything of the sort. Now the food. I ordered pancakes, eggs, and bacon. All of the food was cold when it got to our table. The pancakes weren't fluffy they were- just- not good. The eggs weren't good either, they weren't fresh and they were undercooked. Now the bacon. It wasn't crispy it was chewy and covered in fat. Overall the food and service were terrible for the time we spent looking for the place so I never come back nor would I recommend it a friend.

This is a hidden gem in Mesa. Best breakfast I've had while visiting here. Been here twice and will be back again. Great food, large portions. Service is outstanding. The owner is always on the floor ensuring all guests are getting the best possible food and service. The biscuits and gravy are true to the south. I would recommend a 1/2 order unless you are really hungry. The portions are big.

Rose D.
Found this place at a strip mall in Mesa on Sunday. Definitely cozy. There was a wait but honestly, well worth it. I had the chicken fried steak as it was a recommended favorite and we ordered a full order of biscuits and gravy and a Denver omelet. The omelet was fine, nothing special but the chicken fried steak, biscuits and gravy and coffee were exceptional. Service could have been a little better. I will most likely go again.

My husband and I tried the Cozy Corner Cafe for the first time on Saturday and it was so busy! When we got there, we were about 6th in line to be seated. It took less than 3 minutes! Super impressive. The service was wonderful. We ordered quickly and the food came out super hot which was great. The food was delicious and kept me full the rest of the day. We will definitely be back!

I've eaten here a number of times and like that the menu has lots of food options. Staff is always friendly and you can tell they're like family (and in fact, some of them ARE family). My favorite is the breakfast burrito. Love, love, love. This place is also popular with the older crowd, so be prepared for a wait if you go on a Saturday or Sunday morning in the winter.

Kathi S.
Food was 'Okay' (Husband & I each had a salad & shared a cup of clam chowder , taste like canned soup) I was a little thrown off by the "Uniforms" the wait staff wore... The Tshirts are fine but the Denim SHORT shorts?! YIKES!! Completely inappropriate for a family cafe. When it came time to pay the bill, waitress ignored us and started up a conversation with the person behind us in line. As we were leaving I said "Thanks have a good day" & got no response back. Can't see us every going back & can't recommend...

Jim M.
We live just around the corner from 'Cozy Corner' and we love it! The service is great and the food is even better! Took my friends there for breakfast and they loved it! The food is very fresh, cooked perfectly and served quickly. We haven't tried their lunch but we will soon. Keep up the good work!

A terrific breakfast-lunch restaurant with excellent food, service, and hospitality. It is no wonder there is always a line out the door when we go. Give them a try, you won't regret it one bit.
Staff is always friendly and welcoming, good breakfast menu, generous portions, soups are savory comfort food! Lost a star only for the sausage gravy on chicken-fried steak. This Texan must have cream gravy on her CFS!

This place is very far from where I am, but I have been exploring the N.E. Mesa area lately. There are a lot of midwest themed restaurants here definitely catering to the retirees in the area. The place looks like it is about 50 years old when in reality it is only about a few years old, and I do not mean that as a compliment. So the atmosphere is nothing to rave home about. Now onto the food, it was not that good. I tried the biscuit and gravy and eggs and hash brown. It was pretty average to below average in taste, preparation, and quality. I would understand if they were reasonably priced like the other midwest places, but they were actually the same in cost as some higher end restaurants. So I do not recommend the food and the prices of this food also. I have to conclude that I was disappointed especially considering the gas money I spent to get to this place. I would not recommend it.

The wife and I have been to CCC three times, and each time it has been friendly, clean and efficient. The food is always of good quality and I've enjoyed each item we've had. I'm not a big breakfast guy, die to the fact I know I can make it at home far cheaper and just as good as most places, but will gladly patronize CCC on occasion! Definitely recommend!!!

Came here for Father's Day because Waffle House was too crowded. It was about a 15 minute wait and my party if three was seated. The ambiance was quite bizarre, but I expected nothing less from a Midwest themed restaurant. The waiter was nice and got our order quickly. The drinks were the first downside. I got orange juice (small) which was a cup about 5in tall with some generic orange juice, there was no refill and it cost $2. My dad's coffee was also not complimentary. We ordered the three meat omelette, pecan pancakes, and I had a country skillet. The omelette was good but not really big even though my dad ordered the full size and he ended up eating part of my food. My moms pecan pancake was mediocre. The reason why I am giving this 3 stars however is because my country skillet was really good. The potatoes and country fries steak were cooked perfectly. However, the biscuits and gravy, while being a nice addition to my meal, wouldn't be as tasty alone. It was very filling and worth the price ($10ish). Overall, service was lousy and we had constantly empty cups. It also costed pretty high. I mean, $30 for mediocre food? The talking stick resort breakfast charges that much for breakfast and they have free drinks, and salmon for breakfast! (Sorry, going on a tangent). We may return because we like small local business', but I think we will order smarter. I definitely recommend the country skillet, and next time I would probably get the country fried steak.

We went here for breakfast this morning with friends and the food wss excellent. The staff and owner Troyce were very friendly. This is a must go to place. Mostly booths with a few tables so if you have a large group call ahead to get a table. Pleade go and enjoy.

Ariel Y.
Food was ok. Service was not. The lady who brought out our food was awesome, but all the other staff we encountered from the host, to the waitresses, cashier...unfriendly. As other reviewers said, this place is packed with regulars. My sister and I came on a busy Sunday morning after finding Cozy Corner on Yelp, and even after informing the host that we had never been there before, she just shrugged us off and gave us a menu. Talk about first impression. The two waitresses who took our orders seemed equally annoyed when we asked questions about the menu. I really wanted to like this place since it's so close and the food was fine, but the service was such a bummer that we won't be returning.

Cozy indeed--friendly service and a good hot breakfast on sat am. I had pancakes and eggs and my husband enjoyed his hashbrowns. Omelette had lots of meat, which he loved! Good vibe here for sure.

My husband and I tried Cozy Corner on one of the few nights they were opened for dinner. It was Saturday night. Prime rib night. After trying another local home cooking restaurant in the area, we were cautious about this one. First, if you have vintage paintings, signs, and great ambiance, that automatically gives you an automatic two stars, because of great decorating taste. Of course, I started getting new ideas for my own house by visiting here. I ordered the spaghetti. The sauce was meaty and delicious. You wouldn't think something as simple as spaghetti would be a tell about a restaurant, but there is a difference between sauce and pasta that has flavor, as opposed to something thrown together from a jar. The spaghetti here was already a good sign. Then, there was the prime rib. My husband liked it. Enough that we are willing come back again, in the future. Sweet atmosphere, good food, cozy homecooked restaurant. Skip the Village Inn that's in the same parking lot and visit the Cozy Corner Cafe, instead.

After leaving the Iowa cafe we came over to the cozy corner cafe. We were seated immediately and our drink orders taken. We both ordered omelets which were served promptly. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Very good service. Breakfast was excellent. Biscuits and Gravy are my breakfast devining rod and the ones I got here were very peppery and generously laced with sausage. The biscuits were light and flakey. My Brother Bob got the skillet with Chorizo and enjoyed it. Said the chorizo had a bit of a kick to it. Menu says it's homemade. Definitely be back.

Tim R.
Still one my favorite breakfast places in the east valley. Finally got some friends to stop settling for the chain breakfast places & try Cozy Corner. Needless to say, no more chain places for them. I go here about 4x month with friends and/or clients. Great service, consistently good, simple breakfast at a very good price. Biscuits & gravy are comfort food done right - fluffy biscuit & creamy sausage gravy. Pecan waffle is a must try!!!

Went for breakfast on a suggestion from a family member. The restaurant itself is very cozy and casual feeling, the perfect atmosphere for breakfast. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I had the country fried steak. Very delicious with a good portion. Best thing was the prices for me. $7-8 for most of their stuff.... Very good deal!

This was a very good breakfast place. I went on a sunday morning for breakfast/brunch and it was quite delectable. We spoke with the owner and he was incredibly nice and told us all about the business and we seemed to become friends even though it was the first time we had ever met. Very personable personality, helps to have somone like that behind the drivers seat of a business like that. The food itself was good, and they had ood juices as well. The southwestern breakfast burrito is what I ordered and it was scrumptuous, and I also had a side of corned beef hash, and a bowl of fresh fruit. The fruit was good (although it clearly had preservatives), the burrito was also very tasty. The corned beef hash was not my favorite but one of my friends liked it so they had that. Overall quality breakfast/brunch experience. Very good food, quality service, and a very friendly staff! I do recommend this if you are in search of some good breakfast foods!

Rivak H.
To be honest, the food is mediocre at best, but the great service that you get from a. Dry pleasant staff make things so much better. I would say 3 stars for the food, 5 stars for the great service. Combined, a solid 4. I will return next time I visit my sister in Mesa.

How great is Cozy Corner? Well, my wife and I regularly drive up from Gilbert to eat here, passing many other breakfast establishments along the way. The food is always delicious and the service is unfailingly fast, friendly and reliable. The only downside is that it gets very crowded at times, especially during snowbird season. Cozy Corner isn't fancy. The decor can best be described as quirky-campy. But you can't beat the food or the staff. Here's a special shout-out to Shelly, the waitress extraordinaire who always remembers our names and greets us with a smile and a hug. She's a treasure.

Valentin D.
Let's talk breakfast, I had biscuits and gravy and my wife had two banana pancakes. The price was very fair and for the meal I felt is was very comparable. The surroundings are very eye catching. There are little things to look at everywhere and the pig does fly in this place. The staff is very nice and seems to know the menu. The biscuit was soft crumbly and very tasty by itself, the gravy was a sausage gravy and was really good. The wife and I wanted to try them on our own so as to give a fair review. Two thumbs up on both sides. So if ever in the area again we WILL be back to this spot. The price and food speak for itself.

Great breakfast!!! Seated right away and the food was hot and delicious! Our party of four were all happy with what we ordered. Perfect! Yummy! I asked Jolene our waitress for a little whipped cream on the side for my coffee and she didn't bat an eye at my unusual request! Thank you Jolene for your prompt, courteous service. We will be visiting again here soon.

Lynnette S.
This place is great for breakfast or lunch! They have huge portions for the price and so many options. My boyfriend said it's probably the best chicken fried steak we have found yet. Beware of the giant biscuits and gravy meal- a half order is enough. Decor makes you feel liek your at grandma's house and service is always superb!

We just moved from Scottsdale and were looking for the Mesa version of Randy's. Cozy Corner Café has just made the list for sure. The service is friendly, the food is down home and tasty, and the ambiance is pleasant. The owner stood and visited with us for about 10 minutes while we were waiting for our food so I can't remember if it was slow or not. (However, we figure if we are served sooner than that it just came out of the freezer to the micro.) We love it and we are recommending it to our family too.

I ordered pancakes, eggs, and bacon. All of the food was cold when it got to our table. The pancakes weren't fluffy they were- just- not good. The eggs weren't good either, they weren't fresh and they were undercooked. Now the bacon. It wasn't crispy it was chewy and covered in fat. Overall the food and service were terrible for the time we spent looking for the place so I never come back nor would I recommend it a friend.

Very busy for a Thursday morning. Service was quite slow. Food was average. Not a lot of choices. I had the breakfast burrito supreme - 2 stars. Nothing special.

This is a hidden gem in Mesa. Best breakfast I've had while visiting here. Been here twice and will be back again. Great food, large portions. Service is outstanding. The owner is always on the floor ensuring all guests are getting the best possible food and service. The biscuits and gravy are true to the south. I would recommend a 1/2 order unless you are really hungry. The portions are big.

Found this place at a strip mall in Mesa on Sunday. Definitely cozy. There was a wait but honestly, well worth it. I had the chicken fried steak as it was a recommended favorite and we ordered a full order of biscuits and gravy and a Denver omelet. The omelet was fine, nothing special but the chicken fried steak, biscuits and gravy and coffee were exceptional. Service could have been a little better. I will most likely go again.

My husband and I tried the Cozy Corner Cafe for the first time on Saturday and it was so busy! When we got there, we were about 6th in line to be seated. It took less than 3 minutes! Super impressive. The service was wonderful. We ordered quickly and the food came out super hot which was great. The food was delicious and kept me full the rest of the day. We will definitely be back!

3rd visit to this restaurant, kind of a MA & PA setup with lots of Artsy things on the walls to look at. Service is really friendly an fast. Today I had Egg Benedict it was wonderful.

I've eaten here a number of times and like that the menu has lots of food options. Staff is always friendly and you can tell they're like family (and in fact, some of them ARE family). My favorite is the breakfast burrito. Love, love, love. This place is also popular with the older crowd, so be prepared for a wait if you go on a Saturday or Sunday morning in the winter.

Food was 'Okay' (Husband & I each had a salad & shared a cup of clam chowder , taste like canned soup) I was a little thrown off by the "Uniforms" the wait staff wore... The Tshirts are fine but the Denim SHORT shorts?! YIKES!! Completely inappropriate for a family cafe. When it came time to pay the bill, waitress ignored us and started up a conversation with the person behind us in line. As we were leaving I said "Thanks have a good day" & got no response back. Can't see us every going back & can't recommend...

We live just around the corner from 'Cozy Corner' and we love it! The service is great and the food is even better! Took my friends there for breakfast and they loved it! The food is very fresh, cooked perfectly and served quickly. We haven't tried their lunch but we will soon. Keep up the good work!

Just like mom's cooking.

A terrific breakfast-lunch restaurant with excellent food, service, and hospitality. It is no wonder there is always a line out the door when we go. Give them a try, you won't regret it one bit.

This restaurant has service issues. My fiancé and I decided to re-try this place for breakfast after our first visit together over a year ago. (The first time, service AND food were so bad we vowed never to return.) I used to come in every now and again a long time ago and enjoyed their grandma's homely atmosphere and classic cooking... But I'm so upset by my last two visits because I WANT to like this place. Here's what happened: my fiancé and I are in no rush, and wait close to 10 minutes at the front if the restaurant where a sign states "please wait to be seated." The waitress acknowledged us, but took care of a few tables delivering food and tabs before seating us. We observed a nearly full restaurant with 2 servers, 1 busser, no host... And who we assumed was the manager. We immediately assumed that they were understaffed. This is when it gets bad. We overhear a customer checking out ask if they were hiring, to which the server replied that they were not hiring and the manager just hired on several on call servers. Uh, where are they? Because now is the time to call them in, yo. We were "seated" by someone pointing at our table and walking away. Unwelcoming and unprofessional. My fiancé ordered a breakfast burro and I ordered a half order of biscuits and gravy with eggs and hash browns. Food was good, especially the burrito. That's where the compliments end... Both of us ordered coffee. Every time the other waitress came to our table to refill our cup, she did so so quickly and sloppily that my cup was wet, the table around it, and eventually the rest of the booth next to me too. The bus boy took more care than the female server pouring my coffee! Oh, and I know what you're thinking... How many cups of coffee was I served? Upwards of 5 or 6... Because after our food was gone and our plates picked up we sat at our table watching other families who sat down 20 minutes after us receive their checks. We were still served coffee? We need our server and our check. My fiancé had to ask for our check to the wind behind the waitress passing us... TWICE for our tab. What did she do? She took care of the table behind us who arrived after us. We watched her, looked her dead in the eye, and then received our bill a few minutes later without eye contact or an apology. My fiancé and I felt honestly prejudged for looking young enough to be teenagers. Do we deserve bad service because you expect us not to tip? We were ignored or received less than mediocre service. Maybe they should consider retraining their servers. We left so mad, the food can't convince us to return for a 3rd try.

Staff is always friendly and welcoming, good breakfast menu, generous portions, soups are savory comfort food! Lost a star only for the sausage gravy on chicken-fried steak. This Texan must have cream gravy on her CFS!

Love coming here for breakfast. The country fried steak skillet is so good. Fun atmosphere & great service.

Finally found my favorite breakfast spot. Best breakfeast food I've tasted in arizona.
(5)Shawn A.
A great breakfast spot. The service was prompt and food was very good. The French Toast was a particular favorite with the kids.
(4)Marilyn P.
Great breakfast spot! The food was good and the service was excellent. We will definitely become regulars here. I highly recommend this place.
(5)Neil D.
This place is a great find. Packed restaurant and was only 15 min wait. Food came out in 15 and was great. Biscuit was soft, gravy was perfect and portions were big and bill was more then reasonable. Would come back if ever in the area again

This place is very far from where I am, but I have been exploring the N.E. Mesa area lately. There are a lot of midwest themed restaurants here definitely catering to the retirees in the area. The place looks like it is about 50 years old when in reality it is only about a few years old, and I do not mean that as a compliment. So the atmosphere is nothing to rave home about. Now onto the food, it was not that good. I tried the biscuit and gravy and eggs and hash brown. It was pretty average to below average in taste, preparation, and quality. I would understand if they were reasonably priced like the other midwest places, but they were actually the same in cost as some higher end restaurants. So I do not recommend the food and the prices of this food also. I have to conclude that I was disappointed especially considering the gas money I spent to get to this place. I would not recommend it.

The wife and I have been to CCC three times, and each time it has been friendly, clean and efficient. The food is always of good quality and I've enjoyed each item we've had. I'm not a big breakfast guy, die to the fact I know I can make it at home far cheaper and just as good as most places, but will gladly patronize CCC on occasion! Definitely recommend!!!

Came here for Father's Day because Waffle House was too crowded. It was about a 15 minute wait and my party if three was seated. The ambiance was quite bizarre, but I expected nothing less from a Midwest themed restaurant. The waiter was nice and got our order quickly. The drinks were the first downside. I got orange juice (small) which was a cup about 5in tall with some generic orange juice, there was no refill and it cost $2. My dad's coffee was also not complimentary. We ordered the three meat omelette, pecan pancakes, and I had a country skillet. The omelette was good but not really big even though my dad ordered the full size and he ended up eating part of my food. My moms pecan pancake was mediocre. The reason why I am giving this 3 stars however is because my country skillet was really good. The potatoes and country fries steak were cooked perfectly. However, the biscuits and gravy, while being a nice addition to my meal, wouldn't be as tasty alone. It was very filling and worth the price ($10ish). Overall, service was lousy and we had constantly empty cups. It also costed pretty high. I mean, $30 for mediocre food? The talking stick resort breakfast charges that much for breakfast and they have free drinks, and salmon for breakfast! (Sorry, going on a tangent). We may return because we like small local business', but I think we will order smarter. I definitely recommend the country skillet, and next time I would probably get the country fried steak.

We went here for breakfast this morning with friends and the food wss excellent. The staff and owner Troyce were very friendly. This is a must go to place. Mostly booths with a few tables so if you have a large group call ahead to get a table. Pleade go and enjoy.
(5)Ariel Y.
Food was ok. Service was not. The lady who brought out our food was awesome, but all the other staff we encountered from the host, to the waitresses, cashier...unfriendly. As other reviewers said, this place is packed with regulars. My sister and I came on a busy Sunday morning after finding Cozy Corner on Yelp, and even after informing the host that we had never been there before, she just shrugged us off and gave us a menu. Talk about first impression. The two waitresses who took our orders seemed equally annoyed when we asked questions about the menu. I really wanted to like this place since it's so close and the food was fine, but the service was such a bummer that we won't be returning.
(2)Sandra C.
Cozy indeed--friendly service and a good hot breakfast on sat am. I had pancakes and eggs and my husband enjoyed his hashbrowns. Omelette had lots of meat, which he loved! Good vibe here for sure.

My husband and I tried Cozy Corner on one of the few nights they were opened for dinner. It was Saturday night. Prime rib night. After trying another local home cooking restaurant in the area, we were cautious about this one. First, if you have vintage paintings, signs, and great ambiance, that automatically gives you an automatic two stars, because of great decorating taste. Of course, I started getting new ideas for my own house by visiting here. I ordered the spaghetti. The sauce was meaty and delicious. You wouldn't think something as simple as spaghetti would be a tell about a restaurant, but there is a difference between sauce and pasta that has flavor, as opposed to something thrown together from a jar. The spaghetti here was already a good sign. Then, there was the prime rib. My husband liked it. Enough that we are willing come back again, in the future. Sweet atmosphere, good food, cozy homecooked restaurant. Skip the Village Inn that's in the same parking lot and visit the Cozy Corner Cafe, instead.

After leaving the Iowa cafe we came over to the cozy corner cafe. We were seated immediately and our drink orders taken. We both ordered omelets which were served promptly. Highly recommend this restaurant!
(4)John F.
Very good service. Breakfast was excellent. Biscuits and Gravy are my breakfast devining rod and the ones I got here were very peppery and generously laced with sausage. The biscuits were light and flakey. My Brother Bob got the skillet with Chorizo and enjoyed it. Said the chorizo had a bit of a kick to it. Menu says it's homemade. Definitely be back.
(4)Tim R.
Still one my favorite breakfast places in the east valley. Finally got some friends to stop settling for the chain breakfast places & try Cozy Corner. Needless to say, no more chain places for them. I go here about 4x month with friends and/or clients. Great service, consistently good, simple breakfast at a very good price. Biscuits & gravy are comfort food done right - fluffy biscuit & creamy sausage gravy. Pecan waffle is a must try!!!
(5)Cheyenne L.
Cute little cafe! Very whimsical decor. Server was friendly and attentive, food was good and coffee was great. Would love to try more items from their menu.

Went for breakfast on a suggestion from a family member. The restaurant itself is very cozy and casual feeling, the perfect atmosphere for breakfast. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I had the country fried steak. Very delicious with a good portion. Best thing was the prices for me. $7-8 for most of their stuff.... Very good deal!
(5)David P.
Nothing gourmet here , just classic breakfast & lunch fare, but prices are reasonable , service is friendly and food is much better than you will get next door at Village Inn, well worth a try

Nice wait staff. Terrible food.

This was a very good breakfast place. I went on a sunday morning for breakfast/brunch and it was quite delectable. We spoke with the owner and he was incredibly nice and told us all about the business and we seemed to become friends even though it was the first time we had ever met. Very personable personality, helps to have somone like that behind the drivers seat of a business like that. The food itself was good, and they had ood juices as well. The southwestern breakfast burrito is what I ordered and it was scrumptuous, and I also had a side of corned beef hash, and a bowl of fresh fruit. The fruit was good (although it clearly had preservatives), the burrito was also very tasty. The corned beef hash was not my favorite but one of my friends liked it so they had that. Overall quality breakfast/brunch experience. Very good food, quality service, and a very friendly staff! I do recommend this if you are in search of some good breakfast foods!
(4)Rivak H.
To be honest, the food is mediocre at best, but the great service that you get from a. Dry pleasant staff make things so much better. I would say 3 stars for the food, 5 stars for the great service. Combined, a solid 4. I will return next time I visit my sister in Mesa.
(4)John E.
How great is Cozy Corner? Well, my wife and I regularly drive up from Gilbert to eat here, passing many other breakfast establishments along the way. The food is always delicious and the service is unfailingly fast, friendly and reliable. The only downside is that it gets very crowded at times, especially during snowbird season. Cozy Corner isn't fancy. The decor can best be described as quirky-campy. But you can't beat the food or the staff. Here's a special shout-out to Shelly, the waitress extraordinaire who always remembers our names and greets us with a smile and a hug. She's a treasure.
(5)Valentin D.
Let's talk breakfast, I had biscuits and gravy and my wife had two banana pancakes. The price was very fair and for the meal I felt is was very comparable. The surroundings are very eye catching. There are little things to look at everywhere and the pig does fly in this place. The staff is very nice and seems to know the menu. The biscuit was soft crumbly and very tasty by itself, the gravy was a sausage gravy and was really good. The wife and I wanted to try them on our own so as to give a fair review. Two thumbs up on both sides. So if ever in the area again we WILL be back to this spot. The price and food speak for itself.
(4)Kathy H.
Great breakfast!!! Seated right away and the food was hot and delicious! Our party of four were all happy with what we ordered. Perfect! Yummy! I asked Jolene our waitress for a little whipped cream on the side for my coffee and she didn't bat an eye at my unusual request! Thank you Jolene for your prompt, courteous service. We will be visiting again here soon.
(5)Lynnette S.
This place is great for breakfast or lunch! They have huge portions for the price and so many options. My boyfriend said it's probably the best chicken fried steak we have found yet. Beware of the giant biscuits and gravy meal- a half order is enough. Decor makes you feel liek your at grandma's house and service is always superb!
