Ive been coming here for a long time already but today was unfortunate. First the AC was out...so the atmosphere was dull and warm. Understandable that its not thier fault things happen. My concern is the food. I am a sandwich lover and this place has been in the top five of my list but today was very disappointing. My uptown was more downtown today. I guess they felt I needed to go on a diet. The usual favorable sandwich was lacking its flavorful abundance. Usually my sandwich is stacked and plentiful but today was definitely a let down . The fruit side additions were old and browned. I hope someone reads this and takes the time to correct the errors that have tarnished this once favored eatery.

March 31, 2025 This is an update to a review of this restaurant. We visited this establishment on March 31st with the intention of enjoying a delightful brunch with friends. However, our experience was unfortunately marred by several significant shortcomings. Despite the restaurant’s aesthetically pleasing decor and pleasant ambiance, the food quality was severely compromised. We ordered several items from the menu, only to discover that either they were unavailable or substitutions had to be made without prior notice. The food arrived without any prior communication regarding these changes. Notably, the coffee supply was entirely depleted, and the leftover coffee in the pots was cold. While the staff members were courteous and professional, their demeanor suggested that they were merely fulfilling their duties without adequate support. Notably, the soda machine was out of ice, and the napkin holders were empty. We ordered sandwiches and soups, but unfortunately, both were out of the desired flavors. Even when we requested a specific soup, we were served an alternative that we had to return. In conclusion, our experience was profoundly disappointing due to the failure to serve us the dishes we had ordered. A neighboring patron observed our conversation and expressed similar astonishment and frustration. It is unfortunate that this establishment, which possesses a charming location and a promising atmosphere, is currently experiencing such difficulties. We do not attribute these issues solely to the staff, but rather believe that the corporation responsible for this chain of businesses should take proactive steps to address these problems and make necessary adjustments. March 2024.We came to the corner bakery to meet with friends and have a nice conversation with coffee and sweetbread. The place is nicely decorated and the location is excellent for meeting with friends. The muffins at pancakes were very good. We will come back soon to try other food.

The service is expedient and courteous, the facilities are clean and the food tasted good. I was very disappointed with the portions which are very small and for the price you would expect your food to at least cover half of the plate. Is not ok in my opinion because you will spend a lot of money just to be served an small meal. Other than the negative financial aspect of investing your hard earned money here, overall I rated this establishment 3 stars.

We ate at the Alamo Quarry location yesterday. My pesto chicken sandwich was dry and lacked taste. The bread was days old and crumbling. I experienced stomach pain within an hour. This restaurant also structurely in bad shape. Some of restaurant seat covers overall worn/torn. Water was leaking in one area. Food scattered on floor in other areas. The bathroom floors are sticky. This restaurant screams unsanitary.

Started off on the wrong foot with a cup of “hand-roasted coffee” that tasted like someone poured hot water through a potted plant. Then I watched four episodes of The Last of Us while waiting for my order. At one point, I went to the bathroom and came back to find my table cleared even though all that was there was the so-called coffee and the table tent number that very clearly signaled I was still waiting for food. Pretty sure I got sick afterward too, which might have had something to do with the staff member coughing all over the place and then being the one to bring out my meal. Panini was aggressively average. Fruit cup looked and tasted like it had fully given up on life. Minimal effort across the board. Wouldn’t go back.

I was very disappointed in our first visit to this location. I knew something was up when we walked into the empty restaurant during breakfast service. The floors were filthy, obviously not having been cleaned from the previous day, food and paper from straw wrappers littered the sticky floor. We asked for print menus which are easier for my father to read (than the menu hanging overhead), but the paper printout they gave us had not been updated since 2014 and had some items they no longer carry. I saw no “real” menus like I have been used to at other Corner Bakery locations . We finally ordered, but the tea bags were not replenished so the cashier had to hunt around for some. The coffee was lukewarm. They ran out of cup sleeves, so they doubled up on cups to make it easier to hold a hot cup (in hindsight, probably not necessary for the coffee!) When we went to the restroom, there was no toilet paper. The manager asked the cashier to restock the restroom (there was only the manager, cashier and cook from what I could see). She disappeared and when she returned, said she said she did that. But I returned the restroom to still find an empty stall!! I chatted with the manager asked about the situation and he said he receives no support. He has broken booths, no menus and a filthy restaurant. He just shrugged his shoulders and said it is what it is. The food was okay, but this location is at the bottom of the rating scale compared to the Maryland and Colorado locations I have been used too! I can’t believe this restaurant is still in business in the typically upscale Quarry shopping district. We will not be returning!

We stopped here Saturday March 22nd around 1 pm. I had high hopes. It’s a cute restaurant and has a good selection of breakfast and lunch dishes on the menu. However, the restaurant is poorly run with lack of management. It was not busy . Just a total of 3 parties there at the time. 6 - 8 tables had not been cleared. The cashier was new and had to ask someone else multiple questions as we ordered. She and a couple of employees were standing around doing nothing after we ordered and no new customers came in. After a few minutes , we went to inquire about our order (oatmeal) and found out it had not been made because the cashier had not been instructed by anyone that it was HER job to make it and bring it to the table.(She was standing there looking at her phone when I approached the counter). 2 or maybe 3 other employees could be seen milling about in the back. I can’t blame her too much. It was her first day. Who was running this place? Why wasn’t anyone training her? Why was everyone standing around doing nothing while there were dirty tables? Are the tables supposed to clean themselves? Is a new employee supposed to teach herself? Just a total failure of management. It’s a shame. I can’t say whether the food is any good because we cancelled our order and got a refund. Probably won’t return.

This location never fails to disappoint.The cook with the gang member tattoos did this to my food. Wasted bacon, my money and my time. This happened with two managers on site.

I'm not quite sure how a chain restaurant like this is still in business but I would imagine the Corner Bakery chain must not be doing very well after my first and last experience this past week. Consumers have plenty of other better options. I've never been to any Corner Bakery until the Alamo Quarry location but I was met with terrible customer service. Unfriendly and unsmiling staff. Unhelpful in every way. The cashier didn't ask me if I was a rewards member during checkout. The meal was way too expensive for what it was. One muffin, a small coffee, and a small yogurt with fruit/ granola came to almost $15. Way too expensive I could have gone to a much nicer local gourmet coffee shop for that cost and had more food and larger specialty coffee. I ordered a decaf coffee and wasn't even told by the cashier during checkout that they don't have decaf. When I went to the area to get coffee I discovered that they didn't have any decaf. I asked another lady if she could make a decaf Americano and she did but then acted strange when I had to ask her for hot water to be added. The whole experience was off-putting and then we had to wait almost 15 for our muffin and yogurt. The restaurant wasn't busy and it seemed like the staff just weren't trying. The straw for me was the extremely dirty restrooms. They were clearly not cleaned from the day before since we were there early in the morning and the walls had liquid looking stains that had probably been there awhile. The floors in the bathroom and in the dining area were very sticky. I took pictures of all of this. Between the staff attitudes and the dirty bathrooms, it's safe to say this place is being poorly managed and you should spend your hard earned money elsewhere. Oh and the yogurt was disgustingly sweet and inedible. Total disappointment!

This location never has soups even when it’s early. 3rd time coming and it’s always the same story. Why have it on the menu if you never have it. Also no chips today? Like how! Might never come back again. Edit: nevermind with 3 stars. I give it 1 star. What is this? How did my food come out to 35 for only a 2 sandwiches no sides and a drink?

Not impressed. It was my first time and probably my last time being here. I sensed a little attitude from cashier to whom I informed that it was my first time coming here. She didn't offer any suggestions or any recommendations, she was dismissive about it. Sure it may be that it was the morning and she wasn't necessarily having a good day for whatever personal reason but we are trained to leave our problems at the door and bring a smile and great attitude to the workplace, we ALL have problems. Anywho, we ordered and I guess she didn't hear the part where I asked WHAT drinks they have because she only heard 2 drinks and handed me 2 cups for my self and my guest. I proceeded to the drink station and only sodas were available unfortunately so I just got some water. I thought they'd at least have unsweet tea but didn't see any and when I wanted to go ask the cashier she had already disappeared into the back. I was going to get ice but no ice in the machine and again no one available at counter to ask. Then my guest and I proceed to go choose a place to sit and the floors are filthy. The tables are dusty and there was hair on the table where we sat, I kinda just swept it off with my hand because it's where we wanted to sit. A while after sitting the cashier herself comes to bring us our breakfast sandwiches and I felt like she just dumped the plates in front of us. Again, I sensed poor customer service and attitude. However, a while later we saw her serve a family sitting a couple of tables away from us and she was all smiles and set THEIR plates down nicely and gently. 🤨

Cashier did not know the menu. We got a blank receipt with a written number instead of a number plackerd. She messed up our order. Ice machine did not have any ice and they never put any on it even after another customer told them. Condiment station needed to be refilled. The tables that were dirty when we walked in stayed dirty until we left. They had crayons at the entrance but nothing to color on. Restrooms were very dirty and little to no toilet paper on both stalls.
