I had a friend in college who would rave about Corner Bakery and make special trips to Chicago just to get their baked goods. Needless to say, this place had been hyped up as a pretty solid chain.
So, when they opened up shop here in Peoria, I was pumped. Like many other reviewers have commented, it really is just okay. It really is more like a 2.75 star, but something in me doesn't want to round up to the 3-star.
I usually get the Santa Fe salad (sans chicken) and it is just fine. The baked goods that I have had weren't worth the calories (if I'm going to eat that kind of stuff, it better be worth it). The service is pretty attentive- although they are randomly psycho about retrieving the number cards they use to give you your order.
I'd rather go to Chipotle.
