Very nice, cozy and clean. So many delicious varieties on their menu. And I definitely enjoyed my 'Mom's Chicken Noodle Soup' in a bread bowl and they're fast!!!

The food was good. People who work there were nice and helpful. The menu was more like a Deli. I had Meatball Panini sandwich and was really good. Some shopping and two newly built Condo Style mid-rise homes nearby.

Food was amazing! We had avacado and spinach power flat, applewood smoked bacon power flat and an Anaheim Panini with fresh fruit- all of which were off the charts. Very friendly folks working, will definitely be back during our next trip to Jacksonville.

Great food, fresh and healthy menu choices, and an awesome bakery ambiance that's hard to find elsewhere. Great place to pull up a seat and study, or meet with friends for a meal! And the neighborhood is beautiful, to boot!

I don't know what I was expecting but this was above them. I had a Farmer's Scrambler which was scrambled eggs with bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, and cheddar cheese. It was tasty. The potatoes were a little under done but I'm not a huge breakfast potato fan anyway, (unless it's hash browns) Their Baker's Coffee is nutty and at $1.99 for a regular size cup a bargain. Two scramblers that come with a side (Potatoes or Fruit), Toast, and two cups of coffee came to around $16.00. We will be adding Corner Bakery Cafe into our rotation.

I love Corner Bakery Cafe. I frequently go there for breakfast. I normally order the bacon and cheese Panini, which is very good. The cashiers are incredibly nice, and even bring the food to you if they don't have it ready. The last time I was here was with my dad, and the food was incredibly good. I have only gone to Corner Bakery one time for dinner and I ordered the pesto cavatappi. I wasn't overly fond of it. So, I'll probably just stick to coming to this place for breakfast. Everyday, you can also get muffins for buy one get one free after 11 a.m. so, if you like muffins, don't go there before 11, as that certainly is a significant discount. Corner Bakery also has another location near the intersection of JTB and US1. I will be sure to go to that location again soon, as I have only been there once. It was pretty nice, though. As all of these restaurants are. Overall, I recommend Corner Bakery Cafe for a nice breakfast before work. This is a pretty fast place, so you won't need more than a half an hour.

I think the Corner Bakery & Cafe is great! I'm sure they're tired of hearing the comparisons to Panera, but it does remind me a lot of Panera (with a cuter interior). They have soups, salads, sandwiches, paninis, baked goods - and some yummy pastas which set them apart. Service has been great both times we've gone. I wish this location had more shade for the outdoor patio.
