Hello Foodie Friends,
Last week I was invited to dine at the Corner Bakery Cafe in Boca Raton, located in the Glades Plaza at 2240 NW 19th St. Known for their fresh, made to order hand-crafted artisan breads, hot breakfasts, made-to-order salads, sandwiches, paninis and pastas, seasonal soups and freshly basked sweets, this eatery, in my opinion, is serving up some humble pie. What I mean is, they are dishing out quality product morning, noon and night and making a real effort to appeal to those of us watching our calories* out there, (100 combos under 600 calories) yet they are still flying under the radar. Well, they should be thankful that their PR firm, The Buzz Agency, got ahold of me because now that I know about them, so do you!
I brought my husband with me, who despite living and working in the area, had not even heard of the place and was shocked to discover that they have just celebrated their four year anniversary in that location. I had been in once before for a late lunch and left satisfied. I chose to have dinner there, as opposed to breakfast or lunch because most people (like my husband) might expect with a name like Bakery in the title, that they were pretty much a breakfast and lunch place and they might have a less than stellar selection of dinner entrees. So with open minds and empty tummies, we were off to either confirm or dispel this assumption…
Head up to the counter, place your order and have a seat. This fast casual restaurant will bring your food right to your table. Enjoy the free wifi while you’re there as well!
On a Corner. That’s Where it Started.
Inspired by great fresh ingredients, the small neighborhood bakery on a corner in downtown Chicago began creating artisan breads and freshly baked sweets. Upon a little success, neighbors began asking the owners for sandwiches made with that fabulous bread, followed by homemade soups and salads, and even made-to-order scramblers. Their guests’ requests continued to inspire them and as a result, their bakery’s menu and business grew.
*There are more than 100 Corner Combos under 600 calories, with each dish prepared to order, and special requests are welcomed. Corner Bakery Cafe has made a commitment to creating food to fit every lifestyle, using only the freshest ingredients and breads fresh from the oven.
