I had never eaten at Corner Bakery before. I got a lean breakfast sandwich. It was cheap, but also smaller than I expected, but it got the job done. I thought the apple sausage that was in the sandwich was very flavorful and was pleased with the taste! This shop had a lot of seating and would be a nice place to get some work done while having a nice breakfast/snack.

I have eaten at Corner Bakery many times and it is a pretty good place to dine. I little bit more expensive than a deli but nice and fresh ingredients. I really do enjoy their chicken salad on rye. Lots of chicken chunks, celery, apples, currents, red onion all on rye bread ($7). Comes with a pickle and chips. YUM! Mac and cheese topped with toasted bread crumbs ($7/$8). Delicious! My first time at the Montgomery Mall location and since I was on a low-carb kick, I ordered the chopped salad. It came with sliced chicken, bacon, avocado, blue cheese, tomatoes and green onions. When I ordered, the young lady behind the counter asked me which size I wanted. I wasn't sure and she brought out both bowls to show me. Of course, I chose the entree over the cafe since it was just $1 more. Maybe I am just used to giant salads. I was disappointed that for $9 I had a small bowl of salad. It was delicious and fresh (well, the avocado was bruised). I enjoyed eating the whole thing except for the roll because it was a carb. Maybe if I had eaten the roll, I would have been satisfied. Great coffee ($2).

To the general manager of this corner bakery, get better staff that can serve people quickly. Any time I come here your staff cannot get people in and out efficiently. I've come here multiple times and always have to leave because your line is 10 mins too long.

Overall terrible service, disorganized staff, and cold food. I ordered a bacon & cheese flatbread and received a cold bacon and cheddar cheese flatbread. The Cheddar was hand ripped and placed on top of bacon. I posted a photo so please see. I would not recommend this place at all.

I come here pretty regularly for breakfast. I get the farmer's scrambler most of the time. I have gotten the thin breakfast panini, the spinach salad with fruit, the pancakes, and rugala sp? I usually don't get something to drink unless I'm really thirsty because I feel their prices are higher. But, I do like the breakfasts. I don't care much for the noise. It's usually teaming with activity, people holding office meetings and such even at 9 am. It's okay, but not the place if you need some time to wake up gently. Overall, I recommend the menu. I rarely get any baked items because they look decadent/rich. I'm sure they're tasty.
(4)Kevin D.
Recently visited (3/2/15) tried the buttermilk pancakes & bacon-Delicious! moist, fluffy pancakes sweet vanilla/buttermilk flavor & crispy smoked bacon. Good service too.

This restaurant is quaint and is truly a cafe located in the corner of the shopping strip mall. I was there on a Sunday morn and there were people seated in the inside of the restaurant as well as a few seated outdoors. My order was taken by a friendly and smiling woman who actually seemed happy to be there and serve. I ordered a caramel latte and she asked me for my preference: skim or whole milk. That was nice. Then I ordered the individual homemade apple pie. She even asked me if I wanted whipped cream in my latte. This was just a drop in visit as my husband had a baseball game at the nearby Cabin John Park. Needless to say, it was a pleasant experience, quick service, excellent latte and the apple pie was delicious! I will certainly be back, when I'm in this area again!

So in my quest for a yummy deli sandwich we stumbled upon Corner Bakery! Yummy goodness all on harvert bread=uptown turkey. It was so delicious, I was kinda sad when I was finished. I added chipotle mayo & dijon mustard. The kettle cooked chips were on point along with the pickle. Add a splash of fountain water & you're in the money! Only reason this location got 3 stars is because the bathrooms were disgusting! Its already bad enough when you feel the need to use a public bathroom, but its even worse when a public bathroom is filthy!
(3)Mercedes X.
I really wanted to like this location because I live within walking distance of here and was hoping to find a nice spot to study. The food here is decent but the customer service is sub par at best and frankly rude at worse.
(2)Mary C.
It wouldn't take much to move this 3-star review to a 4-star review. This location is lackluster and it could shine. There's no competition within walking for pastries, sandwiches, soups and salads. I usually order a chopped salad. It can be hit or miss. One time, it's excellent; the chick is chopped properly; the other items are in proportion. Another time, I was pretty certain that there was no bacon or avocado in it. But eventually, I came to a tiny cluster of bacon (about half a teaspoon) and two small slices of avocado that could fit into that same half a teaspoon the bacon would fit. Another time the chicken was slabs rather than chopped. The staff is not coached in being friendly and cheerful. They take the order, it arrives. But no attempt to smile, joke or comment on the weather or upsale you on a delicious cookie.
(3)Maxwell E.
Don't bother coming here for breakfast, I'm not a coffee person and the bacon cracked one of my teeth. The toast is like sandpaper and it wasn't even toasted. No stars for me
(1)Nicole R.
Downgrade to 3 stars - their breakfast is awful. Ordered the eggs/breakfast potatoes/chicken sausage and it tasted like something that had been microwaved. Worse than a bad diner! Never again. I'll stick to my favorite chicken panini and that's it. Their $$$ prices aren't warranted.
(3)Mike B.
"Corner Bakery?" "OK...," I responded to my friend who asked to meet up for breakfast. Feeling rather unenthused by the proposition, I bit my tongue and held my critique for somewhere more polite: Yelp! I ordered the Anaheim scrambler. Described on the menu as, " Eggs scrambled with crisp applewood smoked bacon, tomatoes, green onions, and cheddar cheese, topped with avocado. Served with oven-roasted breakfast potatoes and harvest toast." I asked for no onions. I'm a firm believe that onions or garlic in the morning is just a poor choice. There's something about brushing my teeth and then immediately eating Vampire weapons that makes me a bit uneasy. I know...I'm weird. In any event. I can only say that I was as surprised as the court worker from Ms. Doubtfire was when she saw Robin Williams' (Ms. Hillard's) face covered in cake. Yes, it was Ms. Hillard, because she was pretending to be Robin Williams' (Daniel Hillard's) sister. Count it. It was really good! The eggs were cooked well, it had a lot of flavor, the portion was generous, and the ingredients were fresh. The hash tasted a little processed, probably 'cause it was, but was fair nonetheless. Huh?! Ok, Corner Bakery, I'll be a little more open to you in the future. Thanks for surprise! It wasn't even my birthday :)
(4)Amy M.
We have breakfast here periodically, and it doesn't disappoint. Fast and friendly service, fresh food and coffee, and it's much more affordable than anything else in Bethesda.
(3)MA X.
Coffee is weak, breakfast sandwich is overpriced and overflowing! Was lucky to order it "for here" and barely managed to consume with fork and knife... can only imagine the mess it would produce when ordered "to go"... TO BE HONEST, there were "big bosses" at this location who offered anything else instead, and gave couple of $5 coupons... this saved the day as I can't give 1 star for a "free" meal. P.S. the aforementioned contraption of a sandwich is coming off the menu, or so I was told.
(2)Tara B.
Customer service is non-existent. Wait time at breakfast is long. Overcrowded on the weekends.
(3)Priscilla Y.
Place looks dirty. Uncleaned tables. I ordered the pasta carbonara with bruschetta salad. Grossest pasta I have ever eaten. You can get better pastas from frozen dinnersat the grocery store! Chicken looks like fake meat. Entire pasta is drowned in oil or butter. Just looking at it makes you lose your appetite.
(1)Shira S.
Corner Bakery is very hit or miss and often their portion sizes are very small for what you pay for. For some reason, they are always running out of something whether it is soup, sugar, or milk (for your coffee). Overall, they just need to get themselves together. I wish they were better as I live nearby and it would be great to be able to run in to grab a salad or sandwich.
(2)Anthony E.
The last time I came here was during Christmas season and I had a hot caramel expresso with some peppermint sprinkles on top. This place has a nice atmosphere to hang out with friends or to even do homework for school. This place also has a great customer service I've ever seen in a coffee place which makes this place great!!
(5)Sarah P.
Corner Bakery is lucky to be in business given the slow, inaccurate service, terrible to so-so food and high prices. Check out my photo of their breakfast sandwich - the one attempting to compete with Panera's power breakfast sandwich - notice the size is smaller than my toddler's applesauce snack? Seriously?
(1)Corine C.
I had a great first time experience. Ordered the uptown turkey sandwich, side of mac & cheese, and a slice of lemon cake ....dont judge me ....and it was GREAT! The sandwich was delicious, the mac was hot and cheesey, and the lemon cake was rich and lovely. Oh and the chips were good too ... no judging, its my birthday ... soon... anyway, I will most certainly go back again. And the price wasn't too bad either.
(4)Jack K.
Food isn't bad, good coffee, but the portions are always inconsistent, sometimes normal, the other times half the size.... but the thing that bothers me about this place - EVERY time, i mean every single time we ordered a modified sandwich (like "can you add ham to my sandwich?"), they NEVER, i mean never made the order right! It does happen sometimes when you eat-in, but happened every time when we ordered a carry-out. If you go there and ask for something to add or substitute.... ALWAYS check your food before leaving
(3)Nick S.
For those who don't know, Corner Bakery is basically the fancy cousin of Panera Bread. They have good sandwiches and some interesting lunch combinations of soup and salad. This particular location is only ok in my opinion. It wasn't the cleanest and it seemed to attract some funky characters, like a guy who asked for directions for what seemed like eons. But it's Corner Bakery. You already know if you're going or not, right?
(3)Janet Y.
I ordered a tomato mozzarella sandwich to go. I expected tomatoes in a tomato sandwich instead of roasted red peppers (from a can). Sandwich came with a pickle and a bag of chips. The sandwich and service was okay but it was not memorable enough for me to come here again.
(2)Heather J.
I love the food at Corner Bakery. Their house salad dressing is awesome and I love the DC Chicken Salad. But my experience with this location today was abysmal. The chicken salad looked and tasted like it had been sitting in the fridge for days and was served on soggy bread. My mixed greens salad was composed of wilted lettuce, mealy tomatoes, and soggy croutons. I would have sent it all back if I hadn't gotten it to-go and only noticed how bad it was once I was gone. Very disappointing.
(2)Libby F.
My neighbors and I stopped by this morning to grab a quick breakfast before heading down the street to the dog park with our pooches. Quick it wasn't, but delicious and cheap it was. Very much like Panera Bread, you place your order at the counter, they give you a number and a server brings it to your table. When we got there at 10:30 there was no wait in line, but after I placed my order a flux of people arrived. We nabbed a patio seat with our pals (Yay for allowing dogs!). It took a long time to receive our breakfast items. I thought that maybe they didn't know we were seated outside. Finally, the food arrived. One friend had their American Scrambler breakfast ($5.49) which was scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes and really good whole wheat toast. I had their new Anaheim Panini which was delicious and very filling for only $3.99. It had melted cheese on one side and was filled with scrambled eggs, green onion, bacon bits and tiny chunks of avocado. That served with a Mighty Leaf tea was an affordable $6.25. A hot and tasty freshly made breakfast for under ten bucks... not bad in this economy.
(4)Fenny L.
I realize that on a beautiful sunny Sunday at 10:30am, taking my breakfast order is very low on the list of things a person wishes to do. However, if that is your job - the one which you get paid to do - that means that we should get a greeting (I got a grunt - which I took to mean that I was to give him my food order), and during the entire time I was giving him my order, he was staring out the window and completely not paying attention to what my husband or I was saying. We had to repeat the order twice before he got it. And then, after ringing us up, he didn't give us our cups (for our drinks), we had to remind him. Very distracted, not paying attention...didn't say or do anything besides lackadaisally punching in our order and swiping my card. I personally think it was a miracle that we got our orders right! Boo and hiss. It would have been one star, except the lady bringing us our food was really polite, so she earned them a one star bump.
(2)Olivia L.
I don't eat bacon. I asked if their New England Clam Chowder had bacon and they said no. Guess what? It does. Unacceptable.
(1)Emily A.
I stopped in here because I could not find a Starbucks near by to serve up my typical breakfast coffee and sandwich. The cappuccino was very good, and I ordered a Chicken Apple Sausage Panini. The sandwich was pretty good, but instead of large sausage patty, it was a couple small patties and the eggs kept falling out of the sandwich. It tasted good, but it was a little difficult to eat. The staff was very friendly. The orders did not come out real quick, but it wasn't that long either. I am kind of glad to be back to my regular work location so I am back to my daily Starbucks routine.
(3)Henry L.
Delicious but portions are way too small, especially for the price! Great internet though...
(2)Maggie M.
I got in I ordered my chopped salad with no bacon. Went and sat outside on their patio area, salad came out it was exactly how I ordered. Tasted fresh and delicious. Service was quick and easy. Def will return again.
(3)Sheri D.
I live very close to this corner bakery, and I've given them about a dozen chances to get it right. I've consistently received either poor service (yeah they're nice but are unapologetic when they screw up), forgotten order, wrong order, or a combination of these. You'd think they'd treat their regular customers well. At least Starbucks gives me a free drink voucher when they screw up! Agree 100% with a lot of the other negative reviews here. The place needs a major ovehaul!!!
(1)S. O.
I love their panini and soup combo. You can't go wrong with the Chicken Pomodori on Sourdough and their tomato basil soup. The Chicken Pomodori is stuffed with sliced chicken breast, fresh basil, spinach, oven-roasted tomatoes, and provolone cheese with pesto mayo. Their salads are pretty good and huge also. I've tried the chopped salad which included chicken strips, avocado, bacon, bleu cheese, tomatoes and green onions with a spicy vinaigrette dressing. I would suggest choosing the soup and salad combo but if you order the salad alone, it can probably provide you with 2 separate meals for the day.
(4)Matars Z.
While service is definitely a hit or miss at this place, the food is pretty solid. Service is less dependent on how many people are in line (which cseems to be a surprising ten-twelve more often than not!), than the particular person you get as a cashier. For a few years now I learned to make an attempt to always call in my order in advance, to avoid the main line, or to simply get them to be more efficient by pulling up my info (which they do keep in their system under your phone number if you order often enough). Their paninis are all great, although once in a while they do forget them in the machine and you have burn marks all over. The salads are rather mediocre, but still OK. I've had a few great soups, but for the most part I stick to the panini's or the chicken pesto sandwich, which has degraded in quality, but is still nice. I do not much care for their coffee, but some folks love it. I avoid all the pastas.
(3)Laurie K.
This was my favorite place to eat lunch. Not so happy on recent visits. We all go to restaurants primarily for the food and drink. But those of us that are still human need a clean and positive social environment. The quality of the food is consistently good. Only snafu was that they ran out of vanilla for my latte and I didn't really want any other beverage. Saving on costs by ordering less? The self-serve bar and tables were all dirty when I sat down. Meanwhile, employees were arguing behind the counter. After 30 minutes, two tables were cleared of dishes, but none of the tables were wiped off. Saving on costs by hiring cheaper workers? On this trip, I had a full, delicious breakfast at 9:30 AM after the rush for $10. You can't beat that. The potatoes were even fresh. There's been complete turnover recently. All signs point to new ownership by someone who is maximizing profit at the cost of customer loyalty.
(3)Katie H.
I've been coming to this corner bakery for at least ten years now - never been disappointed until recently. The food quality has definitely changed for the worse. Seems like they just throw everything together now, you can taste that the bread has been previously frozen and the croutons for the salad aren't even hard. My go to sandwich is the chicken pomodori panini and I always add avocado for the extra buck. My last visit here, they a) forgot it. And then b) when I told them they forgot to add it in they put literally a QUARTER SIZED PIECE of avocado on my sandwich!!! Really??? They used to be very generous and have slices laid out on the sandwich. Also, we had ordered some pastries to go and was told they would come with our meals, nope never came. Had to bother them once again that they forgot. No apologizes, just a "here you go" and moved on.... +1 star because I do appreciate the slight renovations they did to the cafe to make it slightly larger but I'm not sure if they are cutting back on quality service and food because of it. Hopefully the Gaithersburg location is doing better because I probably won't be returning here for a long time.
(2)Angela P.
Mark me on my words: Panera does not hold a candle to corner bakery. CB has fantastic salads, sandwiches, and seems that I will keep coming back time and time again. The consistency in Quality across all locations are obviously due to great management and therefore a great happy helpful employees. The Westlake location, particularly, strikes me as one that maintains top-notch customer service. Corner bakery has maintain the café/bakery feel that Panera lost and became a rushed, fast food place. Corner bakery, hands down, has the best chopped salad I have ever had. Chris, fresh romaine lettuce, chopped green onions, chopped tomatoes, Bacon, blue cheese, avocado, eggs, chicken, come to mama.
(5)Kimberly K.
I came here to eat lunch and study with a friend. I read that Corner Bakery was Panera's fancy cousin, but uh, whoever said that def. used the wrong adjective. This place is BUNK. Oh, Panera, I'd choose you over CB any day! Let's start with the food. I got a Four Berry Smoothie (with a yogurt protein boost) and a bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup. The soup was the WORST soup I've had in ages. It was SO effin' salty that I was drinking water like a FISH for the entire night. It literally dehydrated me, ha. The smoothie was straight up gross. It had CHUNKS of ice in it. Super unpleasant for sure. On top of it all, the wifi SUCKS. Don't come here to study. You connect, and it takes 10 min. to load a page. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.
(1)Kim R.
I have tried so hard to like this little place..... I have visited about 4 times since moving to Bethesda (Oct 2011). When I come in, usually to have breakfast, on a Saturday morning I am in a cheerful spirit; however, the person who takes my order does not greet me cheerfully or says anything useful like what specials they have. Instead, the order-taker-person looks as if he/she is indifferent.....like an "I hate that I am here" kind of expression. The food is ok.....but the staff is what might keep me from re-visiting. Management should train their employees to have superior customer service. After all, I would rather eat at an establishment that treated me like my business mattered.
(2)Ted K.
I have been a customer since they opened as I work across the street. I rarely go there anymore because I have found better bagels elsewhere. I showed up at 7:30 on a Saturday and people have been let in early on Saturdays because 8 o'clock is too late to open. I opened the door at 7:30 and the male employee said "Eight o'clock. Is it eight o'clock yet?" I will never eat here again.
(1)Sneha P.
I am a local in this neighborhood, and corner bakery happens to be the closest cafe to my house, but I'm still going to drive further away rather than give this place any more of my business. Out of the past 6 or 7 times I have come here (and that's every weekend morning at 10ish for breakfast) I have only received my exact order 2 times. Here are my qualms with this place: 1) cashiers who have bored and ungrateful expressions - are they REALLY doing me a favor? Oh yea, and unapologetic with their mistakes. 2) not getting my order with the appropriate ingredients (is it really that hard to assemble an egg sandwich with the 4-5 toppings listed?) 3) 20 MINUTES! a really ridiculously long wait time for a to-go order of a super thin and skimpy egg sandwich, which was not even sent to be made until the 20-minute mark when i had to inquire about it (this has now happened to me twice). Why should I have to watch 10 sit-down orders go past me and be penalized for getting something to-go? 4) with all of the above included, the food is only mediocre at best and too pricey for the suffering. I'd rather eat a standardized, mass produced and predictable starbucks egg sandwich in peace than bother with this place again.
(1)Jacqui Q.
So disappointed by the state the restaurant is in. Everything is filthy especially the bathrooms. We waited 30+ minutes for our food and when we finally got it, it was not only cold but also incorrect. They left three tables next to us uncleaned for almost our entire meal - at least 45 min. Would never spend money here again.
(1)Hyo Seok C.
Its ok... The issue is that they need more professional employees.....
(3)Mackenzie C.
Food was good, once we received it. For a place that is fast food-esque, thirty minutes is just not an acceptable time to wait. Twenty minutes in, my dining partner went up to check on the food. Ten minutes and another check-in and finally the food was delivered. The excuse? The order didn't come through the computer. Must be a fluke since the 12 orders in front of ours had since been delivered and consumed. Hmm... The bottom line is this is not how you run a successful business. The correct protocol: - Own up to your mistake - Apologize - Quickly make the meal as ordered - Refund the customer - Give customer a coupon for their next visit If you don't understand then again let me say, you shouldn't be in the food business.
(1)Larry J.
A co-worker coaxed me to go here to get her a "Monster cookie". She even gave me a few bucks for my lunch. I went around 1 pm. It was crowded as I might have expected. I've avoided the place in the past because of crowds even though the food was alright. But on this trip I had to wait WAY too long for a "Mom's Roasted Chicken Sandwich". It was to the point where the overworked cashier eyed me looking wearily at her with my number order tag sagging in my hand and prompted herself to find my simple order. The place does get busy and is popular but when I saw another customer demand a refund for another order that took WAY too long I knew I was either dealing with a weak staff of workers or just lame service tolerated by the place. For the price, this just doesnt do it for me. It was my reason to initially stay away after previous visited where I just wasnt satisfied with what I was getting for the price. And that sandwich? The chicken was cooked nicely but fell out of the bread. The tomatoes were clumpy and I don't even remember if there was lettuce. I wasnt asked if I wanted condiments (maybe I should have said something?). It's doubtful I return but who knows? The food isnt bad...It just costs a bit and you gotta wait too long for it....
(2)Lyly T.
Looks exactly like any other corner bakery. What I don't like is the revolving door. They have a door on the side with a sign that asks you to use the revolving door. I had tomato basil soup bowl and chicken pomodori. The soup was luke warm, had to microwave that up when I got home. Chicken pomodori was good. Panini so it was warm and crispy. good amount of everything and the sauce made it so it wasn't dry. Tomato basil soup was a bit salty for me, but it was nice on a rainy day. The food took a while for us to get, waited about 15 mins for it, so went next door and got some beers.
(3)J P.
This is a really great bakery. We had some of the coffee cake and also some cinnamon pecan rugelach, incredibly good. They serve all kinds of espresso drinks, which is what I was originally aiming for, and also make sandwiches and other food. Nice atmosphere. The employees when I was there were not exceptionally personable, but they were competent and fairly busy also. I would go back to this place for coffee and pastry any time!
(5)Nicole L.
My first time at Corner Bakery. I ordered the the berry oatmeal - it was served cold in a yogurty sauce with strawberries, blue berries, green apples, toasted almonds and two slices of fruity croutons. It was a tasty and hearty breakfast that was also quite healthy! I had the breakfast with the Mighty Leaf Tea Company - Green Tea flavor I love this little pouches. The green tea was brewed through the mesh, flavor was gentle and light.
(3)Esia S.
nice bakery with excellent service!
(4)Matthew P.
Get you head examined if you stop here for anything - even coffee. Went today for a quick bite (bagel, cream cheese and coffee) - screwed up the order - three times and they were making coffee sans a coffee filter! Please , PLEASE, do not go here - it really makes all the other (probably fair/good) Corner Bakeries look like crap.
(1)Sparkely K.
We had a working lunch during a meeting and I relished the tuna salad sammie on a tasty dark brown bread. There were lots of extra goodies folded in to the tuna / mayo, and I loved it. I wasn't as dazzled by the cookie (choc chip), but the sammie won me over.
(5)Cy K.
I'm really surprised at the relatively low score this place currently has on yelp. I used to live nearby and would come here 1-2 times a week to get one of their wonderful scrambles and a cup of coffee or the cold oatmeal (with yogurt nuts and fruit). They also have some great baked items - including a kind of packaged cinnamon bread toast which is quite addictive. Service has always been very friendly and fairly fast (never had an order messed up). Also, their wifi is pretty fast (good enough to sit and get some email/browsing done).
(5)Abe L.
This place has horrendous service and overpriced, mediocre food. First of all - I went here on a Saturday for lunch around 1pm - they were out of multiple items on the menu, including my first 2 choices which included the chicken noodle soup as well as corned beef. So my next choice was the roast beef sandwhich - I inquired about brie cheese and was told they had it, but it would cost me $0.50 extra - fine. After waiting 10 minutes - the cashier comes out from behind the counter and tells me they are out of brie cheese - unfortunately I only eat my roast beef with brie. Unless it's from Arby's. Ha. Anyhow - I switch my order to the egg salad - which is cheaper than the roast beef sandwhich. The cashier did not even attempt to refund my money, nor did she speak to the manager to let him know about the issue. Another 10 minutes later - she comes around the corner with a tray of food and puts it down in front of me. Brilliant! But guess what, this was a "to go" order. Geniuses. Back goes the food again. Another 5 minutes passes and finally my food is ready. They never refunded the difference between the two sandwhiches - in reality they should have refunded the entire thing. Incompetent. Unhelpful. And just kinda dumb. Yes I'm talking about the staff. I know I should have just spoken to the manager myself - but at this point - I'd been waiting almost half an hour for a soup and sandwhich - and I was already late for a movie I was trying to catch. Obviously it wasn't about the $1.09 they ripped me off - simply the principal. I will never go back. This place should be shut down and replaced with something useful in the neighborhood.

Well, it's possible that the food here is good. It's hard to tell though, since it's practically impossible to get waited on. I live across the street from ye olde Corner Bakery, so I've had plenty of experience. It doesn't matter if there's one person in line or 20, you're gonna wait for a long long time to get served. Somedays, you have to give your order to the cashier, who may or may not be listening, or understanding. He or she then has to translate your order to the people who actually prepare the food. Other days (days with an "r" in them? days when there's a full moon? who knows?), you stand in a different line, and just tell the food prep peeps what you want. It's still a crap shoot as to whether or not you'll get what you ordered. I did have the french toast once, and it really was great. One order literally served four hungry people. (Supersize me!) I also had the scrambled eggs once. But I'm pretty sure these eggs never saw a chicken. Am I ranting? I am so ranting! I just want a cup of coffee and I don't want to have to drive to get it. And yes, I'm lazy, so on the weekend, I don't want to make my own coffee. (I know, I know, could I BE any lazier?!?) So I will put up with the waiting in line for my cup o' joe, as the family of six in front of me orders 25 different entrees. I do a lot of sighing here. I'm sure I'm a popular customer. Sigh. The coffee isn't terrible. Just don't order anything the staff has to actually make for you. Like a latte. Cuz that means the cashier has to do it. And that means the person behind you (that would be me!) has to wait longer. Sigh. Gimme my starbucks. Please.
(1)Eric G.
Great food, fast Wi-Fi, and a nice, quiet location -- what more could you ask for? I usually get a sandwich, but their salads and soups are also great. You will undoubtedly enjoy eating here.
