The Corner Spot Cafe

My son ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and they were outstanding. He said, «Mom, they run a really good business.» Great customer service. I love their salmon cakes and grits. We will be back.

MUST READ. MY POOR RATING IS NOT DUE TO THE QUALITY OF THE FOOD BUT THE SERVICE.
I enjoy supporting black businesses and this is my first time coming here. I ordered the vegetable omelette with jerk chicken added and it is great. All fresh ingredients and definitely well seasoned. Grits are a little wet but everyone is different and they could’ve used better quality cheese. It took a really long time which was weird especially seeing I was the first customer here so I agree with other reviews about how well they will do with a larger amount of patrons. I ordered hot chocolate and it was satisfactory. The environment is nice and clean with plenty of family pictures.
When I receive the check I was blown. I ordered a veggie omelette add jerk chicken. The veggie omelette is $ 9. Yet I was charged $ 14.50 for the jerk omelette AND and additional dollar for extra veggies. All of the info will be posted in the photos. I didn’t want to argue as I work overnights and just wanted to get out of there and go to sleep. I won’t be back but definitely get clear pricing before you order.

A friend and I were driving by looking for a place to stop for lunch and saw Corner Spot Café. So glad we stopped here! The food was delicious! The menu says it is made with love and I could taste it with every bite! The biscuits are made from scratch and were like heaven! Great friendly service as well! I will definitely be coming back!

Had an omelet and sliced potatoes. It was very good and the price was very reasonable. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic service and best omelette I’ve ever eaten. For reals. Grits, biscuits, homestyle potatoes, all on point!

Good food and good staff. I stopped at this place on my way to Chicago for breakfast. I enjoyed the food and the staff were really friendly too.

I was running an errand in the area and wanted a bite to eat. There seemed to be nothing but fast food and greasy spoon places so I decided to head back to my hood when I saw this place. I’m glad I stopped.
It’s a charming little place with nice artwork on the wall (I meant to ask our waiter about the artist). I ordered the Jerk catfish and my hubby had almost everything on the breakfast menu. There was only one other table with customers and it took a long time for us to get our food.
Our server was very polite and attentive, but needed to check with the cook when we had a couple of questions.
When we finally got our food it was tasty. It seems they use quality ingredients and my husband said the pancakes were some of the best he’d ever had. If I lived in the area I would definitely patronize the place, but I wonder how they handle the Saturday or evening crowd.

This place is walking distance from my house, so it’s perfect for grabbing a REAL Saturday morning breakfast before running errands! Ive only had the peach cobbler pancakes and they were perfect both times! The atmosphere is really nice, not stuffy/​pretentious and not circus-​y. The wait staff are very friendly. The only reason I can’t give them 5 stars is because of the wait, even when you’re at the only occupied table. It’s not so bad when you’re engaged in adult conversation, but if you have hungry kids with you then it’s a different story.
I think they should consider leaving the menu on the table, so you can start deciding what to order as you wait. It just makes the wait seem even longer when it takes 15 – 20 min for someone to bring a menu and then another 30 – 45 min for your food. Again, the food is really good and I think its reasonably priced with good sized portions, this just isn’t a place you go to because you’re hungry. It’s more the place you meet friends before shopping that happens to have good breakfast!

Ok, the service was good, no problem there. I really wanted to try their biscuits because I heard they were good but they didn’t have any, the pancakes were dry, and the potatoes were greasy and bland. Maybe they were having an off day. I won’t say I’ll never eat there again but it won’t be anytime soon.

Horrible! I went in because I live in the area and saw the good reviews on here We were the only people in there all the way through our meal. Bad sign. Food looks appealing but it lacked flavor. Some of it was downright gross. The pancakes had a strange taste to them and my friend wondered if they used «old flour» LOL. I was very disappointed because I had a hankering for breakfast food. I foresee this place closing down in the near future. It was that bad.

Service was excellent, pancakes were definitely homemade (and delicious), presentation was exquisite. Obviously a very high level of pride in their work! BGM was a touch too loud but nice enough to not be overbearing. Our server was super hospitable and kind.

Good atmosphere. Friendly wait staff. Clean and neat settings. The Cesare salad was delicious. It had freshly made croutons dashed with fine cheese and spices. I was limited to one selection on the lunch menu being vegetarian but I was not at all disappointed.

Saw this place had good reviews and was passing by. Nice atmosphere and easy listening music but I don’t think the service could be any slower. Place has been open a year and it looks like they just moved in. I ordered an omelette and it smelled like mildew and the biscuit was rock hard. My friends food only had half the ingredients she ordered. Don’t want to bash it too hard but it was really just unacceptable.

I visited for breakfast with my daughter and we both ordered pancakes. The pancakes were thick and dry. They were awful. For the first bite, I wanted to leave, but felt obligated to stay. The first thing that came to mind was, the Café is certainly in need of an experienced chef.
My visit to the Café was on my mind for a long time because I wanted so much to give feedback, but I didn’t want it to appear as someone who was complaining. I do want my comment to be constructive. I guarantee you, if they brought in a superb chef for just one month, business would indeed soar.

Went here for breakfast today because I found it through
.
They have a very cute, clean and welcoming atmosphere/​interior.
I wouldn’t recommend dining in if you’re looking for a quick breakfast, we actually had to get our food togo but we didn’t do the best job planning ahead. It’s nice and quiet so it’d be a perfect spot for a relaxing breakfast/​brunch.
The menu here is not huge, but has just enough variety without overwhelming you with what to choose. The server was very sweet and attentive, I loved that he wasn’t overbearing!!!
We had the 2 eggs with potatoes, sausage and toast, everything was so good! I loved how their potatoes were not too bland and not too salty, seasoned to perfection! The biggest issues I have at most breakfast places are that their potatoes are tasteless and I hate that!!! So this was the icing on the cake!
I also would recommend their mini pancake sampler! Oh my! Came with cinnamon roll, red velvet, chocolate chip and walnut pancakes and they were not so mini!!!
I wish we lived closer to this place because I would be here all the time for their breakfast! Can not wait to come back!
The only down fall is that they’re on Opentable but I couldn’t make a reservation…

Lots of parking available around the restaurant. You are greeted very nicely when you come inside the front door. The appearance inside is outstanding from the hardwood floors to the fire place. The waiter showed outstanding customer service skills and the food was delicious. This is most definitely the best breakfast restaurant located in Broadview hands down.

My husband and I went here today. My husband had the” Da Itis” and I had the Meat Omelets Turkey Bacon. The food were delicious. The café is very beautiful and the servicer was helpful, very friendly the prices are very reasonable, and the portions are large for your $$.
The owner Cheryl came out and she was very nice I would recommend if your in the Broadview area to stop by and have a breakfast or lunch at The Corner Spot Café. My husband and I will certainly come back since we live 4 blocks away from the corner spot café.

Oh it was yummy listened to Debbie S.‘s review and tried it. OMG the eggs were perfect, the potatoes yummy, seasoned just right, homemade buscuit was so light. Have to try the pancakes next time.
Lovely décor and Debbie they have artwork against the wall on the floor now they must be getting ready to hang, and you didn’t mention the fireplace that is a huge plus.
Very good service, even told the owner we would be back.
Just a really nice Sunday morning there.

1^st review: My father in law gave this place five stars. He says the food and atmosphere is great. My husband and I always say we wish there were a GOOD breakfast spot in this area. We hate going to Oak Park/​Forest Park, and putting our dollars in other communities. We are definitely going to check it out.
2^nd Review: NOOOOOOO stay far far away. We checked it out after the recommendation from my father in law. It was horrible. The portion/​price ration needs to be adjusted. For a breakfast place, they are very overpriced for the quality and portion size you get. I ordered salmon cakes. They didn’t even try to make them taste like they didn’t use canned salmon. It was so apparent. So I thought maybe it was what I ordered, wanted to give them another chance so we went again. This time we ordered «The Itis» for $ 12 and some change. Well I did not get the itis. Matter of fact I sent half of my plate away. The eggs had a soapy after taste, the pancakes were standard pancakes and the turkey sausage was very dry. Twice is enough for me. Also the menu’s are printed out on regular copy paper and ours had a stain or two on it. SMH. Card stock does not cost that much. I have passed it a few times in the last few weeks and have seen a closed sign. I hope they are re– strategizing, re inventing, re something, b/​c they do not have the breakfast concept mastered.

This is a new place in my area so I decided to give it a try. The dining room was open and spacious with bright colors. Because it was a new places there was no wait with a choice of seating. Service was friendly and accommodating. I was surprised they had turkey alternatives in sausage and bacon. Oh, did I mention they have grits? Overall great experience, the food was good with a feeling of home. Very affordable and economical. Will be going back…
