How should I put it? Corner Bakery is not a fancy place, but a great place to grab a bite with a friend in the midst of running errands (shopping can be an errand too) in Lenox. Personally I like Corner Bakery better than Panera. Panera is like a school cafeteria when people crowd around and pick up their food. At Corner Bakery, the staff brings the food to your table which is a nice touch. Service is always good, staffs are always friendly. Corner bakery does not pretend to be something it is not, it is just a nice eating outlet for people to get a simple meal. The pasta is not out of this world, but decent enough. Chicken carbonara is my usual choice. Today I had a grilled chicken sandwich, I did not care much about it, should have order my usual. Again, this is not a place that serves food which I will crave for, but I am grateful to have Corner Bakery around when I need something no frills and really really simple when I am at the mall.

Stopped by for lunch after a little shopping. I ordered the harvest salad and was excited to have a nice bite to eat amidst the hustle and bustle of all the post holiday shoppers. My salad was dropped off at my table with no utensils, so the server said he would be right back with some. I'm glad there were some crunchy bread pieces on my salad, because it took the server a while to bring a fork. My salad had full apple slices and large chicken pieces, but there was not a knife. I couldn't really eat like a lady (aka - it was a mess), but I managed to make it work. The salad was ok, but the chicken had an odd taste and the crunchy bread pieces were way over salted. Next time I'm looking for lunch at Lenox, I'll stick to Panera. Also, when I went to get a water refill, the whole dispenser was missing. Hope they fix that soon.

It had a really nice atmosphere. The food was good. I really liked the croissant and this little pastry that my sister had. The setup reminded me of Panera Bread. The staff was really friendly and I must say that I did leave my purse on the chair and when I ran back in 5 mins later they had put it up safely in a back room and nothing was missing. Overall it was a lovely experience.

Well done. In its class: Panera, Newks, Fresh 2 Order, etc; it is the best. Consistent preparation of interesting items made with quality ingredients. Again today, the lettuce on my turkey sandwich was fresh and crisp and not wet, the turkey was layered just like the picture, the bacon was warm, the bread was fresh, the soup was hot and properly garnished. Every Time they haven't disappointed. I just wish the other fast casual would figure out their secret.

What a wonderful experience. Southern hospitality is alive! My family of seven had breakfast here today before we all flew back to our respective homes. Yvonne is the hostess at this store and you'll be delighted if you get to be there on her shift. Food fresh, hot and excellent

I absolutely LOVE Corner Bakery. I don't care that it's a chain...it's delicious! My husband and I have eaten here a few times whenever we've had to make a trip to Lenox. It's always a good experience. Their sandwiches are terrific and my favorite item on the menu is the salad trio (chicken, pasta, and fruit). I've tried a couple of baked goods there, too (lemon square and brownie) and they were great. To me, the prices are fine, especially considering the somewhat generous portions and the good quality of the food. Panera is dead to me!!

While I am a fan, I have to admit, that Panera is the better choice, well they offer a larger variety of items to select from, but someday I just want a BLT sandwich and I am able to get one from here, so on those days they outrank Panera. They are on the upper level of Lenox Square between Macy's and Nike. There is geneally a small line of people inside the cafe but the line moves quickly. You can order your food to go or to eat in, and there are several tables outside the cafe where your food is brought out to you once it is ready. Recently I spent $12 on the combo, which was the Asian Wonton Salad and the Chicken Tortilla soup. Also $2 for bottle water. She could have given me a small cup of water, but it does not come with a lid and since I was parked on the other side of the mall, I didn't want to walk through the entire mall holding a tiny cup of water with no lid. The soup was delicious, but the salad was 90 percent lettuce, I would have come out better going with the sandwich and soup option of the combo. My major reason for this visit was to get one of their Lemon Whoopie pies, which the cashier told me they didn't sell. I told her twice that I had just bought one less than a week ago, so I knew that they did. We went through this back and forth for a minute or so, when the manager came over and explained that lemon whoopie pies are a summer item and that they are now into the fall/winter menu. Not sure why the cashier didn't bother to explain it that way. The last thing that kinda bother me, was once I got to the car, I realized I had been given a fork and knife, but no spoon to slurp down my soup. Little things like that, is what makes Panera the better option for me most times.

This was my first time eating at CC but I've seen it at Lenox for years and years! Corner Cafe isn't what I'd call a hands on restaurant, mIt's upstairs in Lenox in the very front entrance. However the food is delicious. I had the roast beef and goat cheese salad with a side Caesar salad. Both were really good--the sandwich was tasty and the tomato and goat cheese just made it twice as delicious! Perfect Caesar! It was dressed just right ( pre-tossed ). Mom had the tomato mozzarella sandwich which she said is delicious) and her favorite! I have to say the highlight was the hibiscus tea lemonade! I never get refills or finish drinks but this one was an exception. Get it!

Nice place for lunch or a snack at Lenox Mall, upstairs near the main entrance. The service is solid, food is consistent, and I enjoy watching the passersby while I dine (seating is outside the restaurant in the actual mall). The food tastes pretty fresh and seems to be nice quality, but I think it's a little expensive for what you get. Portions can be small, and I've found the baked goods to be hit or miss. That said, I think the sandwiches are the best menu items while my brother enjoys the soups. I'll keep returning.

I wish they weren't so pricy but they do that good food and friendly service. I also wish I could customize my meal a little more, i wanted to take the almonds out kf my sandwich but was told that the chicken salad is premade. The nut did end up being overbearing but the sandwich had a freshness you don't find in other places. Clean and pretty quite place.

Loved this place. walking in it reminded me of a Panera Bread a bit. But then I realized it was a bit diff. I got eggies and toast and bacon and it was all good. The staff was super friendly. I would totally go back. I only ended up here because the hotel restaurant was not open early enough. This place is the earliest on the block. I felt like a regular here too - that's how friendly they were.

Traveling through Atlanta and found this gem on Yelp. It is located upstairs at the mall entrance. We were here for breakfast had the oatmeal, panini sandwich and the cheese sandwich off the kids menu. Everything was excellent and the service was great. All the pastries looked wonderful as well. Highly, highly recommend!!

The waitress/hostess/cashier at this location was all the same person. That girl needs a raise!! She did an awesome job and made our experience pleasant. I had my usual chicken tortilla soup and lemon pound cake. The boo had the grilled chicken Caesar salad which he said was delicious.

When you want a snack at Lenox and Panera, the uber busy Starbucks and the cookie place in the middle of the mall won't cut it, Corner Bakery Cafe's a great alternative. I've stopped here on numerous occasions during my strolls through Lenox for a refreshing beverage, snack or full blown luncheon. I like the menu because they serve their breakfast items all day, they have a variety of tasty salads (the Asian chicken salad's my favorite currently) and there's a ton of enticing pastry options for a quick sugar jolt: baby bundt cakes, cookies, muffins, rugelach, coffee cakes, whoopee pies, etc. Once you've ordered you take your little number on a stand, find a table and take a seat, and your food's delivered to you pretty quickly. I especially enjoy the tables that surround the view down to the floor below - the people watching and the guy running the mini RC helicopter kiosk are very entertaining. The food is better than what you'll find in the food court at the other end of the mall and the menu is pretty extensive with sizes and flavors to satisfy most palates. I think though, the most appealing part of it all is the seating. It's some of the best in the mall for weary shoppers. Even if you're not eating, you can still take a load off and not be harassed by servers or anyone else while you catch your breath and gird your loins for Round 2. Works for me.

Boo hiss. I don't know why you'd ever go here when the Panera right downstairs is so far superior. I popped in for a late afternoon snack/early dinner after doing some shopping and the place was understandably empty at 4pm on a weekday. Unfortunately, despite a staff of 4, it took forever and a day to assemble a salad. One girl was on a (personal) phone call and another was flirting with the dude from Abercrombie who had come down for lunch, so I was left waiting. Waiting for a totally underwhelming experience. I had upgraded to an entree sized salad despite not being super hungry: I figured I could save some for dinner. This was the smallest entree salad I've ever seen. The taste was fine, but for nearly $10 I want a meal: not a few pieces of lettuce and a super small slice of bread. Stick to Panera. You'll be so much happier.

So I ordered a half a sandwich and carrots. I got a full sandwich and chips. Food was ok, I preferred Panera Bread. We came here because we walked to the wrong end of the mall for Panera.

Have never had a bad meal here. Love the tomato soup, salads, and baked goods when I'm feeling the urge to indulge. They just came out with three new salad options which is what prompted me to finally to write a review. The new kale salad is great, especially seeing as it's nearly impossible to find a kale salad in a to-go restaurant (and in a mall!), however, there were quite a few stems and stalks both times I ordered it. The quinoa salad is perfect, and the half avocado salad is always perfectly ripe.

There are two corner bakery cafes within a couple of blocks of each other. This one is in Lenox square and the service / food is so so. The other corner bakery cafe directly on Peachtree St is really nice and they have really nice service. This one has similar food, but the service is not great in comparison.

Came here for a quick breakfast on the way in to the office. This was my first time actually visiting the establishment, and I doubt that I will ever drive there again as the parking lot (as is just about any other parking lot in Buckhead) was very TIGHT and not a lot of spaces. I ordered the french toast plate, which came with bacon and scrambled eggs. The eggs tasted awful, like it came from a carton already in liquid form. It just tasted... well, fake actually. I was disappointed, I thought for the price, the location and the franchise at least have REAL eggs. The bacon was thick and hard as a rock. But that was probably because of all the interruptions from work that delayed me from devouring this right away. The french toast was pretty decent. It was very thick, but French toast, like pancakes or waffles always taste awesome for the first few bites. And then your taste buds goes on a quick retirement and everything tastes doughy and blah. I wish that the eggs had been better. I had planned on eating it with the french toast.

I've been here twice- the first time was eons ago when I was in college. Okay, maybe 10 years ago. I remember having a yummy chicken salad sandwich. I'm not sure if the one on the menu now is the same though- but then it was good. I just recently went for the second time last weekend for brunch with friends. The place was pretty busy for 12:30 on a Saturday. I think someone made a reservation. I don't know if that's necessary as it didn't seem like many people were waiting. First of all- I thought the service was kind of crappy. Our waitress hardly said a word to us. I mean- she refilled drinks and coffee- but I felt like I was going out of my way to be nice to her more than the other way around. I would have expected when I said "Thanks" for refilling my coffee she would say "you're welcome." I asked for ketchup and tabasco and she didn't even acknowledge me. She just walked away and came back and put it on the table. I said "Thanks" but she didn't say anything. So whatever. Maybe she was having a bad day. That all being said- I'm never one to gyp anyone on tip unless it's something egregious- so it wasn't anything I couldn't get over. Food: I had the crab cake benedict. I must admit, the crabcake was one of the best I've ever had on a benedict- all lump meat- but kind of small. The eggs looked like they were poached in a mold. I'm a little picky and like the free form poach better...And the one thing I didn't like was the bread part- it was a small disk of 'brioche'...Which really just looked like a circle cut out of a standard piece of white bread. I would totally prefer a 'regulation' size english muffin. It made the portion seem very small to me. . The coffee was fantastic! Really really good. So benedict, coffee plus tip = $22 for one person. I would agree maybe it's a bit pricey or it could be because I got crab. Overall- I wouldn't come back. I'm not totally opposed if someone invited me out and wanted to go there. But it's not worth the effort to go back.

I have never actually be in to the restaurant but my work orders catered breakfasts and lunches from here all the time. I am a HUGE fan of their chocolate and banana nut muffins-by far the most moist and tasty muffins around. I also really like their sweet crisps with a hot cup of coffee. I haven't sampled their lunch fare but it always looks very good.

For me, Corner Bakery Cafe is just like another Panera. You have your sandwiches, soups, salads, fruits, pastas, and sweets. Though I would say the bakery selections wasn't as impressive as Panera, but they do have a larger selection than Panera in the pasta department. Now on to the food. The last time I was here, I got the salad + pasta combo. The salad dressing had great balance of flavors, but the greens were a little wilted and the croutons were some what stale. For my pasta, I choose the carbonara. It wasn't the best carbonara I have ever had, but I was pleasantly surprise that it tasted pretty good. So in conclusion, I thought the establishment was pretty good. I did see a lack of quality control in the food, but I would most likely give it a try again.

I stopped here on my way home one afternoon because I was craving a panini, and really was impressed. I thought it was the best one I'd ever had :) I've only been there once, but I would go back. Yes it is similar to panera bread, but it was also different enough and nice to be able to order something I hadn't had before.

This is one of my favorite to-go (and go-to . . . ha ha!) lunch spots in Buckhead. Yes, parking can be a challenge but here's a secret: they really won't tow you if you park in the "to-go-only" visitors spots. All the Maggiano's bartenders have assured me. I love, love, love the chicken pomodoro panini (I get mine without the pesto mayo but that's your call). The salads are yummy and the desserts . . . that's a whole other story. The cinnamon coffee cake is great for breakfast and buying a whole one would be a great way to endear yourself to your weekend-away hosts or mother in law! And, CB also does catering. Great for office lunches and small get-togethers. There is also a Corner Bakery upstairs in Lenox, just next door to Crate n Barrel.

I am retracting my elation for this place. It's so overpriced it's ridiculous. I'd rather go to Panera Bread. They are super slow when busy. I spend half my lunch waiting in line. They trick you into signing up for their emails that just spam you with BS. They claim to send incentives, but those come every blue moon and you usually have to purchase something. I'm boycotting Corner Robbery.

I have eaten here several times, always for breakfast. I've enjoyed each time. Since I tend to prefer a large quantity of food, sometimes I wished that there was one more item on my plate. But, the quality is good and the free server hug is always nice!

I have never actually be in to the restaurant but my work orders catered breakfasts and lunches from here all the time. I am a HUGE fan of their chocolate and banana nut muffins-by far the most moist and tasty muffins around. I also really like their sweet crisps with a hot cup of coffee. I haven't sampled their lunch fare but it always looks very good.

For me, Corner Bakery Cafe is just like another Panera. You have your sandwiches, soups, salads, fruits, pastas, and sweets. Though I would say the bakery selections wasn't as impressive as Panera, but they do have a larger selection than Panera in the pasta department. Now on to the food. The last time I was here, I got the salad + pasta combo. The salad dressing had great balance of flavors, but the greens were a little wilted and the croutons were some what stale. For my pasta, I choose the carbonara. It wasn't the best carbonara I have ever had, but I was pleasantly surprise that it tasted pretty good. So in conclusion, I thought the establishment was pretty good. I did see a lack of quality control in the food, but I would most likely give it a try again.

I stopped here on my way home one afternoon because I was craving a panini, and really was impressed. I thought it was the best one I'd ever had :) I've only been there once, but I would go back. Yes it is similar to panera bread, but it was also different enough and nice to be able to order something I hadn't had before.

This is one of my favorite to-go (and go-to . . . ha ha!) lunch spots in Buckhead. Yes, parking can be a challenge but here's a secret: they really won't tow you if you park in the "to-go-only" visitors spots. All the Maggiano's bartenders have assured me. I love, love, love the chicken pomodoro panini (I get mine without the pesto mayo but that's your call). The salads are yummy and the desserts . . . that's a whole other story. The cinnamon coffee cake is great for breakfast and buying a whole one would be a great way to endear yourself to your weekend-away hosts or mother in law! And, CB also does catering. Great for office lunches and small get-togethers. There is also a Corner Bakery upstairs in Lenox, just next door to Crate n Barrel.

I am retracting my elation for this place. It's so overpriced it's ridiculous. I'd rather go to Panera Bread. They are super slow when busy. I spend half my lunch waiting in line. They trick you into signing up for their emails that just spam you with BS. They claim to send incentives, but those come every blue moon and you usually have to purchase something. I'm boycotting Corner Robbery.

The Buckhead grits served during breakfast hours are delicious. The service is great. I usually stop in on my way to the office, and I'm in and out in about 10 minutes. The staff is friendly, which I appreciate early in the morning.

I have eaten here several times, always for breakfast. I've enjoyed each time. Since I tend to prefer a large quantity of food, sometimes I wished that there was one more item on my plate. But, the quality is good and the free server hug is always nice!
