Corner Bakery Pasadena Reviews
My boyfriend Nelson and I used to come here every week and we loved it! He went to Heaven in 2016.
I don’t know what kind of celestial alignment occurred the day Francisco was hired at Corner Bakery, but the universe clearly decided we all deserved better service. This man doesn’t just work at Corner Bakery — he elevates it. He doesn’t take your order — he curates an experience. I walked in expecting a simple sandwich. I walked out with a renewed faith in humanity and a perfectly toasted panini. Francisco’s smile could thaw glaciers. His efficiency? NASA-level. His attention to detail? Michelangelo carving David level. He remembers your name, your order, and probably your childhood dreams. He’s got the charisma of a movie star, the precision of a Swiss watchmaker, and the soul of a poet wrapped in an apron. At this point, I don’t even come here for the food (though it’s fantastic). I come for the Francisco Factor — that rare combination of warmth, wit, and wizard-like customer service that transforms a simple bakery into a five-star encounter every single time. Corner Bakery, if you’re listening: give this man a raise, a crown, and possibly his own franchise. No — give him the company.
The food here is delicious 😋 It is so good. The restaurant vibes are excellent. It is calm and pleasant and there is free WiFi available here at this location. Free to use while you’re here. I love everything from here but my favorite is the Albacore Tuna Sandwich 🥪 🍣 It’s so good 😊 I love it. It is now my preferred tuna sandwich. 🫶🏻
I had a great breakfast this morning with my kids. The manager Javier was great! He made extra coloring sheets for my kids, quickly made more coffee as soon as it was out, and was very friendly, helpful and funny our whole visit. Our food came out quickly and was delicious. Thank you very much to the staff for a pleasant visit.
I had a fantastic experience at Corner Bakery! My breakfast was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. What really made my visit special, though, was the outstanding customer service. Javier greeted me with a warm smile and engaging conversation that made me feel genuinely welcome. His friendly attitude and attention to detail created such a positive atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back—thanks for a great meal and even better service!
This charming corner of Pasadena (pun intended!) is a welcoming place for great coffee, sandwiches, and pasta bowls that rival big chain Italian restaurants. Mr. Javier, the manager, deserves plaudits for being kind and graceful to all customers. His special cinnamon coffee creations are delicious. This locale is fortunate to have Mr. Javier as its overseer. The music played is not jarring but relaxing and enjoyable. Give this local spot a visit and say “hello” to Javier & Co.
Love Corner Bakery. Always order the tomato and mozzarella sandwich. The only thing that really annoyed me is when I went to use the restroom and there was no men’s restroom. Just an All genders restroom. I just shook my head in disbelief and disgust.
Typical dine in cafe experience - order food at counter and later pick up when your buzzer goes off. We had a coupon that the employees easily applied to the order. They have a new Shrimp Scampi Linguine pasta dish, Club Sandwich and Blueberry Hand Pie (pictures below). All food was ok, bread in sandwiches and garlic bread were very good. Shrimp Scampi had about 6 small shrimps, diced tomatoes, parsley - I squeezed a little more lemon juice. Employees are consistently friendly and attentive - I started bussing my table and an employee came and took out dishes for us. Easy parking options in their shared private lot.
Cook needs to be made to understand special orders. Food is served quickly but my specifications were not met. I didn't send it back because I was hungry and didn't want to wait. Ketchup bottles were almost empty, I had to grab two of them
I came for breakfast. My friend says the overnight oats here are the best overnight oats she's ever had. So, I tried it out, & it was good. It was a large portion with fresh fruits, which was nice, but I've had better overnight oats. I actually preferred the single piece of raisin crisp bread it came with over the overnight oats themselves. I bought a pack of that bread because it was so tasty. Ordering was slow because the cashier was new & still being trained. So, that was a bit annoying since I was in a rush & had an appointment to get to. Overall, I'd come back to buy the raisin crisp bread, but would pass on the overnight oats.
This location is easy to find and plenty of parking. They have a public restroom for customers only. If you sign up for the birthday club you get a free treat for your birthday. Got the birthday cake bunt cake. It was super cute and the staff were really nice. Unfortunately, the cake was so dry it was inedible. They have plenty of other goodies to choose from. I’m sure the soups and sandwiches are delicious. It smelled so good inside like everything was made fresh. Maybe go early in the morning on your birthday so your treat is fresh. Eight out of ten recommend.
I normally like this chain of establishments, and my meal here was OK. The ingredients were fresh, food has pretty good flavor, but the mustard they used on the sandwich was all I could taste. I don't mind a strong mustard, but if that's all I can taste, I feel I'm missing out on the turkey, ham, and bacon flavors on that sandwich. That was a bit disappointing.
Ordering their pastas are generally the best option, though I feel the portion sizes have shrunk. My biggest gripe is that their fountain drink machine seems to break all the time.
The quality of food is really not up to par. It’s one of the absolute worst croissants I have ever had in my life. Presentation of food is zero. The coffee is so so. I would not come back again unless there is some improvement and the quality of food. I do not think the place has been renovated for more than 10 years. The interior looks a bit dark and tired. When I was there at breakfast hour, there were only two other people there. Not a busy place at all. I must add the ladies working there are polite and nice, so this review has got nothing to do with the standard of service.
Terrible service. Usually go to the one in Burbank but figured it should be no issue. We were wrong. First off, the cashier was in a raunchy mood, he definitely hates his job. Order came out wrong. Cold potatoes, tasteless wrap, Mayo on panini when we specially said “no Mayo please “. The only tasty thing was the lemonade. It’s no wonder the place was pretty much empty. Never coming back.
