Cornerstone Cafe

Had the turkey and sage sandwich three days in a row! John knew my name the second time I came in. Didn’t try their breakfast sandwiches, which looked amazing, but did stop in for coffee and bagels. This is worth the walk, bus, car or taxi drive!

This place is amazing. The sandwiches are the best I have had anywhere. Soup good too. Only open for bfast and lunch but John could have an amazing dinner restaurant with his skills. You will not be disappointed.

Only take out, but staff is friendly, and food is tasty! There’s a couple tables out in lobby to eat at (usually dirty) highly recommended ’

I enjoy their breakfast sandwich and chicken wrap. Some days I’ll order a salad but as of late I find the lettuce to be brown looking. But on the plus side they have a variety of things on the menu from soup to sandwiches, salads, bagels and even dessert.

Went here for lunch today and the food and service was fantastic. Very impressed! Thank you!

Unbelievable service. John is truly a great face of this business, I have no idea how he is able to remember every single persons name after just a couple visits.
The food is great as well as their daily specials. This is a perfect spot for a coffee or lunch

Talk about convenient, reasonable prices, and delicious. I tried this place across from the hotel I was staying at, and I was not disappointed. Was looking for something quick and healthy after my workout, and this place was IT. I trying the soup and salad deal, got the Mediterranean lentil soup and tuna sandwich. You can build your own sandwich from a variety of toppings, breads, and meats. The soup was very good and filling.
The staff was very friendly, and my order was ready in min. I will come back for more next time I’m here.

Love the soups. Mulligatawny, chipotle shrimp corn chowder and the shrimp curry are some of my favorites.

So sad it took me nearly two years to discover this place; what a gem! Tucked away in the lobby of Monarch Place basically under the escalator, I got lost the first time.
*Extensive menu; if you can’t find something you like, you are clearly the most picky eater ever; go back to eating Kraft Mac and Cheese
*Generous portions, fair prices. Different than Frigos but I have to imagine it’s taking some of their business away; it’s a Friday tradition for me lately.
*Salads are outstanding; Cobb salad is my fav. They even pre-​cut the avocado, saving me precious eating/​outdoor time; they thought of everything!
Go try this place; you won’t be disappointed.

I was here on Friday waiting to enter the MassMutual Center for the Bay Path College Women’s conference. My co-​worker and I needed a cup of strong Joe and had no car because we were dropped off by a shuttle van. Since it was before seven in the morning, there were very little options in downtown Springfield. Many places did not open until seven.
Luckily, I knew that the hotel cafes nearby would be open so we walked a couple of blocks and stumbled upon this cute place. A-​HA! Best part, they served Starbucks!!! Can’t go wrong with Starbucks! I liked the self-​served portion.
The guy working at the counter was even very nice! There were little chairs and tables outside; making the coffee stop experience very pleasant.

Ordered the turkey chili and cranberry scoop sandwich. Both were yummy and only $ 11 something. Had trouble finding it at first. You go a little to the left when you enter the building (kinda under the elevator), do not go up the elevator like I did.

I usually order a salad and soup here, but let me tell you that they are fantastic. Also, and this is a must… Get the stuffed chocolate chip cookies. Seriously.

I really like it here! The breakfast sandwiches are delicious! Whatever sandwich you get, get it on a croissant — they are buttery and flaky and wonderful! Everything is on the pricey side, but I find that you’ll get a good bang for your buck. The food is all good quality. For lunch, the grilled cheese and tomato soup is perfect comfort food!

It took a little while to find, located in the Monarch Building, but boy was it worth it! Had the grilled chicken and Brie panini… the chicken was juicy and flavorful! Excellent service too.

Cornerstone has most recently had turkey chili on the menu! It is flavorful and has just enough spice! I highly recommend it.

I was in Springfield for a business seminar at the Sheraton. Starving at lunch, the first place I saw was Cornerstone. What a great place! They have a very diverse menu of sandwiches, salads and more. Being a vegetarian, I am usually limited. Not here! I built my own sandwich, a veggie burger with havarti dill cheese and every veggie on wheat. It was unreal! If you’re in the area, check this place out!

This is my favorite little lunch spot. I love their bacon and blue grilled chicken wrap. All of the sandwiches are a tad on the pricey side apparently but after living in Boston for 5 years, they seem okay to me. They have awesome soups, and a bean salad that I probably eat 3 times a week. My favorite thing is the southwestern bean salad with the rice. They don’t have it as often as the regular version but whenever they do I grab one. They have already prepped sandwiches, wraps and salads in the case with all the drinks so if you’re in a rush, hit that up. They are all made fresh daily so they are as good as anything you’d wait for if you don’t want one of their specialty items.
They also have a delicious breakfast menu. The egg sandwiches make my tummy smile. Their cheddar bagels are delicious and according to my co-​workers their cookies aren’t half bad either.
They aren’t reinventing the wheel here or anything, but if you want a place with reliable quality, and really friendly service then you should probably try this place out.

Visiting company in the building. Really good lunch café! I had the BLT salad & it was delicious. It did take longer to get the food than I would’ve liked but overall I would go back.

I work downtown and always enjoy lunch from Cornerstone. I get the same thing every time and it is consistently well made. I think this is the only place I eat where the staff knows me by name.
