Corner Bakery is a bakery and restaurant chain that offers kitchen-crafted, artisan-inspired food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with delivery services available.

Corner Bakery

Inspired by great fresh ingredients, our small neighborhood bakery on a corner in downtown Chicago began creating artisan breads and freshly baked sweets. And upon a little success, neighbors began to ask us for sandwiches made with that fabulous bread, followed by homemade soups and salads, and even made-to-order scramblers. Our guests’ requests continued to inspire us as our bakery’s menu and business grew.

Today, we continue to fulfill the needs and desires of our neighbors with a menu of chef-inspired, prepared-to-order food. When you visit our cafe, you’ll see real kitchens in place of assembly lines. You’ll hear the chopping of fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables, and the sizzle of our real panini grill. You’ll feel the warmth from our ovens working all day long. They’re the traditions we established years ago that we still passionately follow today.

Our very own Chef @beckyfoulk was featured on Great Day Washington, highlighting what makes Corner Bakery Cafe's perfect BBLT sandwich, alongside other seasonal delights! 

Our guests in D.C. can visit the newly renovated location in Capitol Hill at 500 N. Capitol St.
