Corner Coffee House
Reviews
workers were polite & nice; but, the espresso is bad. ie. underextracted, no crema, not fresh, no "notes" from the coffee.
I love stopping in here for my coffee, the people are friendly, coffee's good and reasonably priced.
I see lots of comments regarding the quality of the coffee, and thought I might offer my perspective. The coffee is of good quality- whole bean ground for each pot, or specialty drink order- but the brew for the "air pots" is on the "light side" (I believe that the fact that much of the regular clientele is aged may be the impetus for this- can't send them into heart arrhythmia and sweats just because WE like strong coffee). My solution- order coffee with a double-shot of espresso, and sweat my palpitating little "tuchas" off...! That aside, the food, the atmosphere, the staff, and the clientele are TOP-NOTCH! I moved into the area three years ago, and the Corner Coffee House is my new "home away from home".
While the prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is pleasant and good for either social occasions or work, the food here is not great. The chicken salad is extremely over-salted and under-peppered, and the sandwich it came on included no veggies. The smoothie is far too sweet and it is uncertain how much fruit it actually contains, if any. Nice people, nice atmosphere, but I don't recommend the food.
Friendly service with a neighborhood feel. I went here today for a work-related class. I was a little worried about the quality of the food from some previous reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was here for several hours, so I started with a blueberry muffin and a Milky Way Latte. Both were quite good, even though the latte was quite sweet. For lunch, I had the chicken salad sandwich with chips. It was served on a fresh croissant, which was nice. It was a little salty, but I still enjoyed it. The chips were some bagged variety. I got my lunch with a soda (free refills) for around $7, so not too expensive. There was a lunch rush when I ordered, but I only waited about 5 minutes.
