Corner Bakery “On a corner. That’s where it all started” (Corner Bakery). Corner Bakery first opened in 1991 only selling baked goods and coffee. Today, Corner Bakery is more of a fast food dine in restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. If only it stayed as a baked good and coffee place it might be better. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone because of its poor food quality, poor cleanliness, prices and poor customer service. When you walk into Corner Bakery you think of it as the perfect family fast food dine in restaurant.

They have servers which are supposed to clean up after you leave that’s why they purposely do not have garbage cans around because they do not want their customers to throw out there garbage but I think they need to start to invest in some because it gets outta control and first impression is everything. If I did not work at Corner Bakery I would have never went back. The bathrooms are also horrible. They do not
