Corner Cafe

Corner Café is great. I’ve eaten here 50 times — it’s a favorite for locals. I’ve rarely had anything but great service and impeccably presented food. Food is generally delivered promptly and servers are seasoned pros. On the rare events I have had problems, the management went out of their way to cure the problem. My kids insist on eating breakfast here when they come to town.

I absolutely love their Jumbo Lump Crab Cake Eggs Benedict! It perfectly fits my taste and the portion was very filling. The menu for Sunday brunch is amazing but it does get very crowded so expect to wait 30 – 35 min. Gave it a four star because the potatoes that come with the entrée was a little disappointing compared to other brunch places I’ve tried.

I came to try the French toast because it’s on the 2013 Atlanta Convention and Visitor’s Bureau Signature 100 list, but didn’t realize I missed the cut off so we ended up just getting lunch.
The roast tomato soup is pretty good! However, the sandwiches we got were very average, hence my 3 star rating. I ordered the reuben, which is my favorite sandwich. There could have been more meat, and the bread was just average. I feel like this is another decent but overpriced in the buckhead life group.

Ordered
Tomato soup
Chicken Blt
It’s a little overpriced but it’s the best tomato soup I’ve had in the city. It’s got the consistency of cream tomato soup but that’s totally my jam. I wish the menu had a traditional grill cheese or the soup came with croutons.
The sandwich was good but for the cost, def wasn’t worth it. Bought some pretzel bun as I left which I really enjoyed a lot!

Really enjoyed this place. Had a great latte, friendly servers, and good food. My husband got the white chocolate French toast which he enjoyed. I had a cheddar cheese omelet. We will be back the next time we visit Atlanta.

Gotta be honest place has gone downhill. It was a mess food was ok at best and my server kind of creeped me out!

Had the egg BLT with sweet potato fries. It was amazing!!! The waiter wasn’t very attentive, but I figure it’s cause of the ridiculous lunch rush. The place was packed! Totally worth it, though.

The food was good, but the service and organization of the restaurant was very bad — in two ways.
We had reservations for 12:30, but we were not seated until 1:00.
When the food was served we did not have silverware or napkins. As we sat there watching our meals get cold, we asked three different people to bring us some silverware.
I finally had to get up and go get it myself.

Uninspired, assembly line food served by sloppy, uncaring staff… Nothing we had here is worth the price or hassle of trying to brave their waiting area on a weekend morning. After several visits over the years, We won’t be back again.

These other reviews are spot-​on. The hostess has the personality of a wet dish rag. Table service was fine. Menu was completely underwhelming, except the prices which were ridiculous for the bland and boring choices. Chocolate chip pancake just had a cup of chips dumped on top, bacon was thin and overcooked. The croissants were good. There are far too many better choices in the area to settle for mediocre food paired with exorbitant prices.

One of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a while! Where do I begin!!!
My friend and I have a lot of experience in the service industries and lord knows we’ve ‘been there’ where you are so busy that service falls a bit. But it took 10 or 15 minutes to be greeted by the server. Not even a «I’ll be right with you»? It shouldn’t happen. I ordered the 15 or 16 dollar white chocolate french toast option while my friend had the «power breakfast». My french toast order was 3 triangles of toast that were the most boring, tired, dry, and underwhelming pieces ever. The food was cold by the time I got syrup too. My friends power breakfast, was an egg and cheese bagel with a couple pieces of fruit (she normally eats like a bird and was still hungry after).
THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE PART: The server recovers a bit as we are eating (maintaining our drinks, clearing the plates at the appropriate time, etc.), then drops the check. I kid you not, we sat for 20 MINUTES WITH OUR CARDS VISIBLY OUT ON THE CHECK PRESENTER!!! (It was our day off, and it was comical at this point) I was keeping close track on my watch. My friend and I decided to really turn our body language and we were staring down the entire staff at this point. It wasn’t until I walked over and handed the server our bill that he gives me some excuse I didn’t care to listen to.
I did write a message on the back of the receipt and dropped it at the host stand about our terrible experience. Looking at these other reviews, I don’t think they care much

Assisting a wedding brought me to ATL last September, and this cute French café gave me my first local taste — this spot was where we met the bride and POBs for the first time during our weeklong trip
Eileen L.‘s REFVIEW for Corner Café:
RELEVANT INFO
* In affluent Buckhead community
* French-​style bakery, great for brunch
* Lots of lot parking
EXPECTATIONS COMING HERE
* None :)
FOOD
* Powerhouse Bacon Open Face Bagel Sammich ($ 10.95) — hearty sized
* Vegetarian Omelette ($ 11.95) — lumberjack portioned omelette loaded with filling and flavor, probably because of the shiitake mershrooms, rather than the conventional button mershrooms
VALUE
* For some reason I thought Atlanta prices would be dirt cheap compared to LA, so entrees priced at $ 10-​$ 15 surprised me – regardless, generous to describe portion sizes is an understatement
IMPRESSION OVERALL
* Tasty brunch with decent service
ENVIRONMENT /​AMBIANCE
* Clean, glass sliding door entrance
* Odd Picasso-​esque art hung on walls around café
* Has a homey cabin-​like feel to the café
WOW FACTOR
* Multiple brunch entrée items caught my attention (Breakfast BLT, Salmon something)

I took Nonna to Corner Café for brunch. It’s a beautiful, sun-​lit, crowded, noisy restaurant. Brunch menu only on Saturday and Sunday.
Nonna ordered a lamb sandwich hold the top pice of bread, I got the shrimp and grits. The lamb was overcooked, dry and gamey. Lamb like this is why so many Americans don’t like lamb. My grits were fine, but the shrimp were overcooked, hard and tasteless.
The waiter — super-​helpful — replaced Nonna’s lamb with eggs benedict and salmon. Lovely. And he took both the shrimp and grits and the lamb off the bill. (Don’t worry: I tipped him on the full amount plus some.)
Bottom line: great location. Lovely interior. Extraordinary service. But stick with the breakfast-​y stuff.
Note to owner: time to get a chef back in the kitchen to give the cooks a tune-​up.

Good space, decent food, completely indifferent service at every single turn. Excellent coffee and a good meeting spot, but that’s about it. We had pancakes and a veggie omelette, and both were just fine. All the hostess comments and general talk on here about service are spot on. Nothing special here.

Dropped by the Corner Café only to be totally ignored by the hostess while she continued to text on her phone while we waited to be seated. A bit frustrated to say the least, we grabbed a table on our own and were handed menus a few minutes later.
I was surprised to see only brunch selections ranging from $ 13 to $ 15. I understand this is Buckhead but their prices were highly inflated and their service was sorely lacking. We were never even offered a warm up on our cups of coffee.
Sorry Corner Café… Buckhead or not… this is not the way to treat your bread and butter. We won’t be back.

I’ve taken a number of people to corner bakery, and tried to meet friends here again. In our group of five we had two children one of which was in a car seat. The hostess, Ashley, insisted that we try to all squeeze into a four-​person table. But she was unwilling to let us have a highchair at the end of the table. She said it was a fire hazard even though there was plenty of room (see my pictures.)
So with multiple tables open that would easily easily have accommodated us, Ashley insisted that we wait for 15 to 20 minutes. She was unapologetic and completely deadpanned in her face while talking. Mostly Ashley was just annoyed that we didn’t want to take one of her tables. Her affect was somewhere between hung over and anti-​social, almost no affect at all.
This place has really fallen off in service, and I will no longer be taking friends here.

First, there’s a back «corner» entrance that leads you to believe its «the» entrance. You walk in and they all ignore you and allow you to stand there looking like a complete idiot. Umm… hello? We are finally directed to the front where we see the hostess and get seated. That should have been a huge red flag but the place was busy — Sunday in Buckhead. But I digress.
The French toast is listed with a fruit compote which sounds delish. Two small circles arrived with some sort of jelly like substance on them — apples. I am not a fan of cooked apples so I sent them back and got the menu to find something else (basically just to confirm there is no mention of apple pie filling on them). There’s not. Be warned!
The other person in my party ordered pancakes. They come with chocolate chips, blueberries or some other option I’ve since forgotten. One would think the option would come cooked in the pancakes. Instead what arrived was a stack of pancakes with chocolate chips on top. They started melting and it got ugly. Really, really ugly. He picked around the chocolate mess and tried to eat just pancake realizing it was useless and finally peeled off the top pancake in an effort to salvage the meal. I tried a bite of that (since I was starving after my French toast fail) and realized that Bisquick would have been a better option. Heck — cardboard would have been.
Last, but certainly not least the waitress came by to refill our coffee without asking. Coffee lovers understand what it’s like to find that perfect balance of coffee, creamer, and sweetener. It’s a rare, perfect moment. It was there and it was ruined.
I will stick to a Waffle House when in Atlanta because for a fifth of the price I get better food and service.

I came here with my mom on my birthday after our nail appointment to grab some mimosas and lunch.
Everything looked delicious on the menu and I really wanted a awesome sammie or something fattening like beer and cheese soup (soup of my birthday-​day).
So I opted for the spicy shrimp tacos with pico and nom side sauces. They serve three very large tacos and it also came with a side.
The cucumber onion salad was right up my alley, it was a true highlight.
I find myself craving it now and scheming when to stop back in a take some with me. Mom had the fried green tomato BLT, which was great and the sweet potato fries-​very tasty!
Our waiter was prompt and friendly, we had two mimosas each and one at our hair appointment earlier so maybe we just weren’t paying too much attention to how long things were taking.
It was my birthday anyways and I enjoyed lunch with my mother very much, I will recommend this spot to anyone and from the other reviews I’ve read it’s probably best to go for lunch instead of breakfast.
The menu is pretty extensive and everything sounds fab! Check it out!

I will definitely be back! This place has amazing sandwiches. I got the chicken breast club and it was amazingly delicious. This place is a bit expensive but the food makes it worth it. Dying to go back and try more of the menu!

The egg salad here rocks they have sandwiches or grab –n– go containers of it. Hands off all mine (just kidding hmm maybe not) sometimes I go through food kicks and right now egg salad is one of those items it is something familiar and comforting and this place does it better than most .
If you are looking for fresh breads this is definitely the place to come too. If you have a sweet tooth well all you have to do is walk inside making up your mind on what to purchase is a bit of a conundrum .
The coffee that is so popular in all of the restaurants can be purchased here for your home and specialty cakes & desserts can be ordered in advance.
