  I used to frequent this place when I worked @ <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FCareerbuilder.com&s=d4ab8ebf6917fdd21691ca9d9d81e973163ca68a9ce9c38ccb31065ec68b3348" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Careerbuilder.com</a> circa 2007. They used to debut lots of seasonal soups that me and a colleague used to enjoy quite a bit. Due to the fact that there are 2 other Corner Bakeries near my current place of employment; I do not get a chance to go to this one as much. My lady works at the mart and this one is closer to her. She loves their salads especially the Spinach Crisp which has fruit, spinach & crusts of raisin bread inside. It was pretty good! Gets pretty crowded around noon as most places in the loop does, so it is best to get there around 11:30 to get a seat or to get in and get out. Outside seating available when it is warm out

  Yes another Corner Bakery: they are A-OK as they have decent food, but lately I'm getting sick of this type of heavy/dense carb and fat saturated stuff, I guess its my fault for always ordering the pastries; coffee is good though and they have some pretty solid skillet-type mixes for breakfast.   There are a lot of these stores downtown, sort of dilutes their special nature.

  I used to love going to this Corner Bakery (1-2x/week) because I work across the street but recently I've been disappointed in the quality of the food I've been served. I just tried to eat a Greek salad and it was soggy and old. They also don't include the breadstick with soup anymore, it's getting cheaper and makes me want to go somewhere else to eat.

  stayed nearby for business.   Stopped here a few times for breakfast and lunch.  Everything was excellent.  It was actually surprisingly good - i was expecting starbucks quality food.... pasteries were delicious, especially those little fat pills "Cinnamon Pecan Rugalach"  Mmmmm.  Paninis were good.   Awful lot of suits meeting here for a quick lunch.

  pros:
  - located near a million transportation options, so its great for meeting someone for coffee if you're coming from different parts of town
  - unlimited free wifi (which you don't technically need to purchase anything to use)
  - of the few menu items I've tried, some have been pretty good, including tortilla soup and the harvest salad (I added chicken)
  
  cons:
  - only 2 outlets in the whole establishment, which are both under the same table
  - coffee is meh, but at least its expensive
  - menu is pretty limited (standard for corner bakery, but way fewer options than, say, cosi) and more than half the options contain pork (which is a problem for me, but a plus for many, I'm sure)
  - the yogurt and fresh berry parfait only had strawberries (so say strawberry, not berry), which weren't so fresh, and the granola was soggy
