Review
Corner Café is a quaint, high quality breakfast and lunch destination in New Jersey. Many patrons agree that the café is perfect for Saturday afternoon lunch. Designed so you can see the workers preparing your food from the ordering station, the café gives you peace of mind and a sense of comfort.
This café is not open on Sundays but appears to have a robust business six days a week. Their breakfast menu has several options, and their catering menu is customizable for almost any sized crowd.
The café is known for its pork roll egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches. Unlike many modern restaurants, you cannot place an order online. This adds to the quaint atmosphere that this café presents.
An interesting aspect of this café is their inclusion on the popular review site, Yelp. The owner of the café responds to reviews and addresses major issues and complaints—something that many restaurant owners simply do not bother with.
