| - Hey morning coffee and pastry chasers! If you're looking for a great hot fresh roasted coffee or decadent desserts, then prepare to gamble (Vegas style) because this place has more odds than a roulette table with a $5 buy in! And they are not in your favor
They are inconsistent at the places that matter most. Having some background here in the cafe bistro style restaurant, I met the most amount of dissatisfaction I could have for my morning solution with the family.
The coffees are always out and as I try to stay mindful of bad eats - reaching for the Raw Cane Sugar was a big mistake today because why? Surprise surprise, they are out! When I asked the employee serving the dining room if there were more, she simply replied with "I think people steal them and we are always out".
Well then, be it as it may, that's probably one of the best, worst answers I've ever heard. Not really wanting to start my day off with a less than satisfying coffee I decided to simply return the cup and ask for my money back - since Starbucks and Panera are right around the corner, I knew my odds would greatly increase in my favor. Did I want to go to a second place for coffee? Absolutely not, but that's how this Corner Bakery rolls - turning away business.
It gets better...
As I'm waiting for the refund, my meal comes. Let's just say, their sandwiches, power flats and breakfast plates (for the price they charge) are embarrassing. The sad part of it is, I've been to countless Corner Bakeries in Texas, and this has never been the case. I guess what they say is true, everything is bigger in Texas, including your food!
On top of that you pay $1.00 extra for potatoes... as you can see from the picture, someone thought it would be clever to spread out these cold and withered potatoes as to give the allure that many are there.
Save your money folks, this is strike two for me and definitely not going to have my business going further. In fact, I'd like to poise that there is a breakfast solution that is amazing in the same parking lot called "Baby Stacks" and a Panera right around the corner. And this is how your competition pushes you out. Especially in a hospitality town.
