Corner Bakery Cafe — Restaurant in Los Angeles

We have a retirement party and placed an order from this location weeks ahead. According to the coordinator we are the only party order for the day. We asked to have the food delivered at 11am. We waited until 12 noon food still not arriving. Called the store, was hold for 10 minutes and finally someone answered the call. She was unable to provide update, only saying "they were backed up from the kitchen today, and the deliver person left for a while" She mentioned that she will called the driver and check for the status, I asked for a call back for update and was told that they don't do call backs, and claimed that she is very busy and suggested me to call back in an hour or two if anything happened. I though we were the ONLY party order for the day, and they opened at 6am, yet couldn't get things out on time? On top of that the coordinator advised us to call back in an hour after they delivery is no show an hour from promised delivery time?

This was one of the worst breakfast experiences I have ever had. As someone with a dairy allergy, I never expect any restaurants to be totally accommodating, but I do expect at least one staff member to know about the food to be able to advise what is safe to eat.

After ordering and paying at Corner Bakery, one of the employees came can told me that what I had ordered, and clarified as being dairy free, contained dairy and could not be made to not have dairy.

Ultimately, I ended up with a very plain and disappointing bowl of oatmeal with toppings I could not eat and the wrong coffee order. If you have any allergies, dietary needs, or want to be treated kindly, take your...

There's so much "hating" (as the kids say) upon this cafe and bear in mind that the employees are working to the best of their abilities to provide exceptional service. Notwithstanding the fact, that it's in a busy location adjecent to the Metro Center and plenty of people have anxiety to not arrive late to work. The demand is high and there's only so much that they can do for their customers. I've felt compelled to share an experience among fellow reviewers and interested readers. About a month ago I've purchased a sandwich, I noticed that it had great flavor and finished it. Later I was notified that a cook named Susan made it, she did a great job! Ericka is a friendly cashier and gave excellent service to customers, myself included. They're a very knowledgeable upon the menu and drinks. That's the way restaurants should be! I love the busy Downtown atmosphere in contrast to the ease of calmness inside the...
