Corner Bakery Cafe — Restaurant in Santa Clarita

We've been here many times and we always enjoy it. This time not so much. First of all, we got there at 7:50 assuming they close at 9 or 10 on a Saturday night like most restaurants. Apparently they close at 8 and we were not informed that eating there would be a problem. We ordered our food. When asked, to stay or go, we replied, "stay". When our food buzzer went off, there was only one thing on the counter and it was a to go bag.

My husband said we wanted it to stay and the response was, we're closing in 10 minutes, you have to take it to go. They finally said you can eat here.

It was frustrating, as some food is just not good to go and we would have preferred being informed of their intention.

I got the pasta carbonara. It stated chicken, bacon, peas, and carbonara sauce. There was hardly any sauce, noodles were almost dry. Maybe 1 pea for every couple of bites, if that and the bacon... What bacon? So disappointed!! My husband got a chicken pomadori sandwich. Normally a great sandwich. He took a bite, no chicken, no tomato, a little bit of cheese, smashed wafer thin bread. I should've taken a pic of that. His salad had a to go plastic lid in it. Maybe they were just ready to go home, maybe our vibes were off, but either way, a lot lacking on this visit.

I gave 3 starts instead of 1 because we spoke with the new manager (her first day) and she really tried to make it right. They re-did the sandwich and the pasta and she even offered a dessert. I've worked at many restaurants in my past and that was handled Perfectly! Kudos to her!!

We took the food home and unfortunately, the pasta was just as bad! Basically just dry linguini noodles and little more. The sandwich was a little better but still lacked much between the bread. We will go there again because we have had great food before and we hope for a...

Food is nothing used to be. My mom and I used to visit this place at least 3 times a week and were never disapointed. But for the last 2 years every visit is a dissapointment. We took every opportunity to address the issues and have many second chances. We can't figure out what has happened. It could possiably be the constant turnover of people that work there. But over the last 2 years I have never been served hot soup, it's always luke warm. Close to a dozen times. The salad my mom always gets has black rotten lettuce and the veggies are always very over-ripe. The orders are constantly incorrect, and the portion sizes have gone from regular to happy meal. My favorite pasts came today with just enough to cover the bottom of the bowl. It was dry, cold, and all stuck together. The lemon bar was hard as a rock, the pecan maple could barely be cut with a knife, but the chocolate bunt was ok. A little dry, but ok. We waited over 30 minutes to get out lunch, only to be let down once again. We keep asking ourselves why we keep returning. The only thing we could come up with is the fond memories of how it used to be so good. However, we will not be returning. The memories will have to remain...

Our SCV Corner Bakery Cafe location is a sleeper hit for us vegetarians looking for an easy place to get breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We came as part of a day where they were donating a portion of sales to an organization we're involved with, so thanks Corner Bakery Valencia for supporting the local community! We were happy to be given the incentive to give you a try.

I had the Berry Pecan Salad with a side of Tuscan Toast...it was really great...fresh testing with lots of good flavors in it that made it a good treat for dinner, and filling.

My wife enjoyed her Tomato Mozzarella Sandwich...also a good portion size and came with a salad too.

There are other options for vegetarians too including a Tuscan Grilled Cheese, a pasta, and a couple of soups that are vegetarian. (Plus plenty to choose from on their breakfast menu if you're there that time of day.)

Corner Bakery is reasonably priced, serves good food with good options to choose from for vegetarians, and is a great, casual, order-at-the-counter place to get...
