Corner Bakery Cafe

This place does great at breakfast and just okay at lunch. The pasta is super salty and the side salads are a couple of tomato slices, croutons, and lettuce. I’ve had two panini here and both were dry and hard. Additionally, the closest bathroom is up the stairs in Maggiano’s. The lemon bars, I will say, are consistently good.

The Corner Bakery was attached to the Tyson’s Corner Mall, which was connected to our hotel (Ritz Carlton). My work team needed to grab a quick breakfast and head out before 8am, but unfortunately this Corner Bakery opened at 8, so we decided to wait it out. Upon entry, we found out that due to the blizzard, they did not have a lot of menu items available. The blizzard hit hard over the weekend, but had stopped Sunday morning (two days ago). With only a few options available, we grabbed what we could and left. Unappetizing and unfulfilling to start our work week in McLean —
Best,

This Corner Bakery Café is the closest one to where we live, and it is always such a treat and never fails to impress when we make the trip out! Our all-​time favorites are the Swiss Oatmeal and the chicken sausage patties! Very good, also not that high in calories if you’re opting for something tasty and healthy Would recommend the oatmeal, but be warned, the kitchen may run out if you don’t get there early enough! We’ve even called ahead of times just in case we fear we may be too late

I had the absolute worst customer service here. I never in my life have been treated so poorly by a manger. Reesha is one of the mangers in this location and from the moment I started my order she was rude. She totally messed up my order after telling me I couldn’t place the order the way I liked. I cannot believe they’ll just let anyone be mangers these days. Worst service of my life.

I’ve had 3 – 4 less than mediocre lunches at Corner Bakery and the only reason I even go back is because of convenience plus lack of options.

A good place for a quick lunch. They have delicious paninis and the staff were very nice. The place was clean except the tables on the outside sitting area.

This place is fine, their food is suitable and they get you in and out pretty quickly. It’s not my go to place for lunch but if I’m looking for something super close to the office, its a good enough choice.

The Corner Bakery Café is a good, solid, and tasty place to eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We’ve also stopped in just for a brownie from time to time. If you follow Unilocal’s rating guide, it is an «A-​OK» or 3 star restaurant.
We first ate at the Corner Bakery 11 years ago while vacationing in DC. We now have the Corner Bakery in our home town, but we thought it was fitting to hit the spot again while visiting DC again. My hubby had the oatmeal. I ordered the Anaheim scramble. It was all good. The service was good too.
You won’t go wrong with Corner Bakery. You probably won’t rave to your friends about the amazing meal you had there, but you’ll know that you can always get an A-​OK meal at the Corner Bakery.

This place is like Panera.

Came here for lunch on a Monday with friends. We ordered the chicken pomodori, chicken pesto sandwich and one of the chopped salads. Both the chicken pomodori and the chicken pesto were good, but I preferred the panini as I like hot sandwiches.
sandwiches were good, but overpriced. I didn’t try the salad but I imagine it wasn’t amazing. Their chips were delicious. I’d want to try some of their soups or chili next time

Door was open, lights on, people working, but apparently we were about 15 min before the official opening time. Associate on the floor cleaning tables and straightening curtly said a couple of times, «We’re not open». She failed to hear us ask if we could just sit at a table and wait, and sarcastically said we could sit down, as we were in the process of sitting at a table.
Later in the meal, she would apply that same curtness to other table service, like removing plates and utensils.
Second strike. Two of us ordered oatmeal. About 10 min after placing the order and returning to the seats, a frazzled associate asked which of us ordered oatmeal, and directed her comments to the first to respond. She then quickly left with the replacement order, but failed to consult with the other person who ordered oatmeal. Apparently the first guy spoke for two.
Food was fine. Felt chaotic behind the counter, despite a light crowd. Not many apparent breakfast options in that area. Probably won’t go back.

Come for the nostalgia and an easy lunch.
I remember my mom bringing home corner bakery in high school. That was something to look forward to. Seeing this chicken pomodori now reminds me of it’s faded glory. It still tastes about the same (with more mayo to replace lost chicken) and the chips are still salty crack, but it’s just a sad looking sandwich like it’s had its life pounded flat. It makes me wonder whether or not it tasted great to begin with or was just looking for greatness. Times change, prices for things go up.
Well at least we have the new orange carrot ginger smoothies to look forward to. (Hooray for ambiguous sarcasm.)

Located in the Tysons Corner Galleria, Corner Bakery is a nice sandwich and soup shop for those looking for a quick lunch. They have both indoor and outdoor seating available and free wifi in the area.
Also, they have a nice collection of teas which is great for around $ 2.
Overall, check this place out for a quick bite after a day of shopping

Ate here tonight with my boyfriend as it was close to his office. The whole experience was bad from the start. Our cashier didn’t seem to know the menu, when I asked if a dish had tomatoes she responded with, «it has tomatoes?» .obviously not very helpful when she responds with the same question I just asked. I settled for the macaroni and cheese since I was confused and felt unguided by the cashier and it was the worst Mac and cheese I’ve ever had. I stopped eating after one bite. It tasted as though it had been sitting in some kind of heat, as the noodles were overly soft and squishy and fell apart when you touched them as though they had been sitting for some time absorbing all the liquid around them. The cheese was a light brown color, which to me looks like over baked old cheese. I left just as hungry as I was when I came in. I wouldn’t recommend this establishment to anyone.

Why would a café known for its baking pack a simple chunk of white bread with their chopped salad? Wouldn’t it make sense to impress customers by tucking a more interesting bread in carry-​out orders? The salad was good, iceberg lettuce, blue cheese, green onion and chopped tomato with some sliced avocado, cubed chicken and egg. (I declined the chicken). Dressing was in small containers on the side.
Their tuna sandwich was okay, generously sized, accompanied by carrots or a small bag of chips. I suspect the pasteries are really good because they always attract a crowd (I haven’t succumbed), as does the coffee. The Corner Bakery is a nice place to grab a reasonably priced sandwich, salad or soup/​sandwich in an extremely expensive mall. They have tables for a quick lunch with a friend, but it’s not a place to linger long because of the noise.
TIP: At lunchtime this place gets crowded and noisy so unless you’re sitting on the tiny patio outside or in the corridor beside the entrance, it’s impossible to have a conversation. Carry-​out works well here.

Eh, nothing special. Similar to a Paneras. Ordered the pasta and salad combo (ck carbonara and caesar salad). Not worth coming here.

I wish there were more Corner Bakery cafes in the area… or at least, closer to my work! This location is located inside Tysons Galleria, next to Maggiano’s. I like dining here for lunch because they have half/​half options. You can order any combo of half sandwich, soup, pasta, and/​or salad. I typically always get a soup or salad with the pesto cappatavi. Their portions are also a good size, and they’re not skimpy on toppings, dressing, or meat. They also have healthier options to choose from. If you choose to dine in, they bring your food and utensils to you.
It’s inexpensive for lunch but it takes awhile for food sometimes because it gets ridiculously busy. There’s also a lack of seating during the fall/​winter months, but it’s nice to dine outside on their patio when the weather is nice.

I’m a fan of the uptown turkey sandwich — many of my coworkers would order the same sandwich.
If you come on a winter day, and you’re craving soup, I’d recommend the chicken noodle soup in a bread bowl. I was surprised that I enjoyed it.
Generally, though, the food was just average. There is nothing wrong with the food, but also nothing especially special about the food.
I suppose the price is justified for Tysons II mall, but I always was a bit surprised by how much the sandwiches cost.

Had a really bad experience at this location with someone who shouldn’t be facing customers. The manager did not address the situation.
Came in at a time of day with no lines. Went to a cash register that was still open. Cashier came out and said I had to go to back of line. I kid you not, she meant that I had to walk through the maze of velvet rope intended to manage lunch time crowds. I apologized with a quick «oops» and got back behind the ONE CUSTOMER who probably had been sent back there as I had. Then she waited 30 seconds (I timed her) and said, «Next».
I was Next after that and inexplicably the cashier moved to another register. By now I was wondering if I should order at all. The cashier was now standing under the sign that said «Pick up Orders Here». I said hesitantly, «I’d like to place an order.» No response. So I told her my order and she punched it in. I asked for «no onions» and no «avocado» showed so I said (while shaking my head), «no, it’s no onions not no avocado».
She did not respond at all except to look at me calmly. I thought perhaps this was her first day and now she’s petrified. So I tried to stay calm, smiled, and kept my voice reassuring. She handed me a number and told me to sit at a table and it would be delivered.
When 25 minutes passed and only 2 more customers showed up and they were both served, I stopped a passing employee and showed him my number. They scrambled around for 10 minutes looking for my order, only to find it sitting on the counter next to the cashier!
I said (under my breath), «W-​T-​F is going on here?» A passing manager stopped and asked if anything was wrong. I said «your cashier is incompetent or very passive aggressive. She told me to sit here for my order and then let my order sit on the counter.» The manager asked if I had gotten my order and I said yes, and gave me a look like, «crazy customer».
When I arrived home, I tossed out my food. I do not know if it actually had my correct order.

This is my normal spot to stop into before heading out to Great Falls. It’s definitely not the best bakery in the world, but when you need caffeine and sugar it gets the job done.
I always ask for iced coffee, which isn’t on the menu, and they never fail to deliver. I do wonder why they don’t post that they serve it. Specially in summer, I believe it would draw more people away from the Starbucks. Just a thought Corner Bakery!

Good coffee in the US — a rarity!!!
And great food — I am a fan of this small spot at Tysons Galleria — served the best coffee I had for the whole trip, which to be honest is setting the bar pretty low! Still, real coffee, nice food, good ambience, and free wifi! Yay!
