Corner Bakery Cafe — Restaurant in Chicago

We came in for breakfast at 1pm and to be honest, the lady at the till was polite and accommodating despite breakfast no longer being available. The panini were light and tasty. The iced coffee was decent. The issues we had were that although the lady was polite and accommodating she forgot about our coffees altogether. After we ate and asked for them, she apologized and proceeded to retrieve a white square plastic bowl with a little brewed coffee inside from under a counter and poured it into our cups, then put a lid on them. I swear those cups and lids are of the worst quality I have ever come across. They leaked all the way to the table. My husband and I tried everything to get them sealed so we could leave but could not. I can’t imagine how anyone can get take out coffee from this place and not get bathed in coffee on their way to work. I have to say, not for these things that, in the great scheme of things may be insignificant for some but are quite important for other people, like myself, I’d...

Went to this location this morning I said to the cashier "hello good morning, how are you" her reply after a very smug annoyed look just said " how can I help you" while she rolled her eyes. This is not ok this location is DT I can and will go elsewhere I don't need this in the morning from an adult. Perla who brought our food was very pleasant. I'd give the name of the employee but no name tag she seemed more concerned about something possibly outside...... kept going to the window with her phone and talking to herself outloud. Then she started speaking on speaker phone walking around the resturant that its slow and shes trying to leave. She had long braids with some blonde pieces. I heard a man called her lashawnda if I heard correctly. Don't get me wrong we have bad days but common manners...

This is an extremely well run and well tended Corner Bakery. The coffee was hot and fresh, the Bacon and Cheddar Panini was delicious, and the restaurant was very clean and tidy.

While the food was good, I feel it only appropriate to speak briefly about the manager/ supervisor on duty. This person was extremely on point and wasn’t afraid to be out front and center. She took orders, restocked the drinks fridge, and made sure everyone’s orders were correct. You can really tell that her employees see her as a leader, and that she cares about her job.

Overall this was a great dining experience and I will definitely...
