Corner Bakery Cafe — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I had a terrible and uncomfortable experience today. This was my first time ordering from this location. First, it all seemed fine and I had no issues, but I returned after I finished my meal to get a coffee and as I was waiting for my coffee, there was an unhoused person in line to order. I asked him if he wanted something to eat and the woman at the register asked me not to buy him food because he would return. I told her that he was hungry so I was going to buy him food. After I ordered the food for him, she began to tell me that I should never do that again and said that she would not give him the food I paid for until he stepped outside.

Extremely limited indoor seating (2 four-tops, 1 six-top, 9 bar seats) and during the lunch hour, the employees on break take up half the seating and then leave their trash for someone (presumably another employee?) to clean up. Plenty of outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Strangely, no trash cans inside. You need to walk outside to throw away your trash...I guess that is why the employees leave their trash in the...

Was looking forward to having their snickerdoodle cookie... but was sad to find out they don't have it anymore. .. no matter, because the nice young lady that was taking my order who's name is Keke was so helpful in right away recommending the toffee cookie, I wasn't really open to the idea....I guess she really saw how disappointed I was because she ended up giving me a toffee cookie for me to try out... And guess what?? I loved it!! And bought more cookies lol and a coffee!! Keke gave such amazing customer service! And was so sweet and always with a smile Food industry need more...
