Corner Bakery Cafe — Restaurant in El Paso

A great place to meet up with some good friends or family and catch up over a delicious cup of coffee or perfectly toasted panini. Although this place does get packed around noon, they do have plenty of seating inside, as well as patio seating.

Now let’s talk food: for breakfast they offer sandwiches, paninis, pancakes, oatmeal, wraps and various other items. If you’re a health nut you’ll find some options here. My favorite breakfast items are the All American Scrambler which is your standard American breakfast: eggs, bacon, potatoes, toast. The Anaheim Scrambler which is similar to the All American except the scrambled eggs have veggies mixed in like an omelet. Lastly, the Anaheim Panini, is a delicious breakfast sandwich, it’s made up of scrambled eggs, bacon, tomato, avocado, green onions, and cheddar inside two slices of sourdough bread. Yummy.

For Lunch you have options such as Rustic Grilled Cheese, Club, Meatball Panini, Uptown Turkey Avocado Sandwich, Chicken Pesto Sandwich, Chicken Carbonara Pasta, Shrimp Scampi Linguini, Roasted Tomato Basil Soup, Chicken Noodle Soup, and various salad options as well as a kid menu. Every item my family and me have tried has been satisfying. The only item I do not enjoy here are their breakfast potatoes because they lack any flavor.

Plain and simple, if your looking for a meal that isn’t gonna leave you feeling sluggish and lethargic, this is the place. The portions are enough to curb that hunger but not leave you overstuffed. Their soups and sandwiches are tasty and their coffee piping hot and since it’s self serve, you never have to wait around for that second cup.

They do have a rewards program, and they also...

Lack of Integrity

We ordered a large cold brew and, when asked if we wanted cold foam, I responded, "If it comes with it." We later noticed we had been charged an extra dollar for the cold foam. Since we thought we had been clear at the register, we asked about it. When my husband spoke to the manager, Anna, she told us that because we drank the coffee, we could not get a refund.

I want to explain why that response was extremely disappointing:

We drank the coffee because we genuinely thought the cold foam came with the drink — not as an extra charge — based on the way the cashier phrased the question and my answer.

Both my husband and I work in customer service ourselves. We know good service often means choosing to do the right thing over making a big issue out of a small charge — especially when it’s something as minor as $1.

Finally, whether or not we drank the coffee shouldn't determine the principle of the situation. Had I caught it right away, what would the solution have been? Would you have scraped off the foam? Poured a new drink and wasted the original? It feels like this policy — or the way it was handled — wasn’t about the drink itself but about refusing to acknowledge an honest miscommunication.

The way Anna handled this left a bad impression on what should have been a simple breakfast. I hope you’ll take this feedback seriously because it’s not the money we care about — it’s the way we...

Not a great experience here today; undercooked pancakes that were almost batter in the middle and very doughy. Eggs were cold, and not any better than cheap hotel breakfast bar stuff. The bacon that came with the pancake breakfast was great, three nice big pieces cooked well and hot. Good price for the amount of food you get, would've been happy if the quality was good.

Any sane person probably would've asked for a replacement, but I'm not very picky so I ate half the stack before deciding it was legit bad (got worse as I got to the middle of the pancakes). I didn't think the eggs would be much better hot so also didn't ask lol.

My partner got the chicken sausage wrap, which was good. Eggs in that were hot (still meh hotel breakfast bar esque), good sausage and tomato flavor. She usually doesn't like breakfast sausage stuff, but liked this.

Service was fine, very busy time of day but everyone's doing their job as...
