Corner Bakery Cafe — Restaurant in La Habra

It was 3pm, after lunch rush & before dinner. There were a few people in seating area, but not busy at all considering the time. Went to restroom & almost considered leaving, because that is one of the places to see before eating at a place. The women's room was horrible, at this time of day there was no seat covers,TP, trash can in stall over flowing & papers on the floor. The baby changer in stall was dirty & needed wiping. There was no hand soap, it was completely empty. Could of used a sweeping in there. I've been in the food industry for 38 yrs, AND if the bathroom is dirty, it speaks volumes as to the condition of the kitchen could be. If they don't take the time to keep clean the area where the public can see, can you imagine the areas we can't see. I was ready to walk out,but my elderly friend I was with really wanted their soup, so we stayed,mind you I wanted to leave & we should have at this point. Our food arrived & my chicken soup was cold for soup standard, it was luke warm, as was my friends soup. Granted the cashier did change my soup to chicken noodle because my grilled cheese came with tomato & I'm not a fan,vso that was nice,but it was not hot& barely warm. My friend's soup was warm but not hot either. She liked her sandwich, however my grilled cheese was that great. It had grilled marks but cheese wasn't melted & it was to warm, nut a hot sandwich that it should be. I spent $28 on two sandwiches & soup with 1 lemonade & water, sooo not worth the money. For $28 I could of bought cheese & bread & the ingredients to make soup & lemonade as well as a made cookies for dessert & tipped myself & it would of tasted better & been hot. Very disappointed, then to add to the problems,the lady I assume was the manager on duty, goes & gets a cup & gets a drink from the soda fountain & is in the work area drinking it, that's 6 point violation with the Health Department. With just 1 minor violation then they'd be at a B rating. I maybe a little more picky & observing then the average person, but I work the food industry & know what's going on behind the front counter, and most of the time it's managements & owners fault for things like this. Well that was my experience, maybe others had different that day,but I tell it like it is on my visit. I won't be back for a long time, there are better food places in the area then this corner bakery. Blessings & make your own choice weather to eat...

I usually don't write negative reviews but the service today was so bad I had to share so that hopefully they make changes.

I understand it was a busy Sunday morning but I have never seen Corner Bakery be so disorganized like it was today. Only one cash register was open for a very long line - and - the cashier was obviously new. Poor guy, I won't blame him, I'll blame management and obviously sub-par training.

Fast foward 30 minutes and I ask for an update on our food - "oh! We have your farmers scrambler ready but we are actually out of all the oatmeals, would you like a yogurt instead?" Um..... is it not common sense to let us know this as soon as they knew this instead of me having to go up and find this out 30 minutes later ?!?! But whatever, I took the yogurt.

Then, after all this, I get my very cold and bland farmers scrambler and notice there are no country potatoes. Let me tell you I was most excited for those potatoes and they managed to mess up our order again. I had wanted to substitute fruit for toast - yet on my cold disappointing plate was toast and fruit - no country potatoes - as well as a bland farmers scrambler. I honestly didn't even say anything. It was the final straw.

Also shoutout to the not very helpful manager going around saying sorry for the delay to other grumpy tables - "lots of people and a lot of newly trained employees!" Yeah, I noticed but I don't see how that is my problem. Also I have been here on busy Sundays before and they did just fine so maybe the issue is new management.

So in summary, AVOID Corner Bakery until they get their act back together because they are...

Let me first say that I am a restaurant manager, so I completely understand the way doordash orders are done. I am competent enough to know when an issue is with Doordash or when it is the resturant. That being said I placed an order with Doordash, and there were a few customizations to my order but it had never been an issue with Corner Bakery before. When I received my order almost everything was wrong and some items were completely missing. There was a receipt in the bag and sure enough it had my order exactly how I ordered it with Doordash. So it was the workers who prepared it that were at fault. I was REALLY craving what I wanted so I called doordash and got the entire order refunded and so I was going to just duplicate my order and call The Corner Bakery to tell them what had happened and I was ordering again so PLEASE make it as requested. Well the person who answered didn't give me a name, and when I asked to speak with a manager he was rude and replied "they're not available what did you need help with". I started to explain and he kept cutting me off and kept telling me that doordash was at fault, that's why it was made incorrectly, so contact them about it. He would not give me 5 seconds to tell him that I had a receipt printed from the POS in their restaurant with my order, inputted 100% correct. So yes it was their fault. But he never let me talk and was so unprofessional I decided to just order from another restaurant. Whoever he was needs to be trained in basic customer...
