Corner Bakery Cafe Favorites {& a Giveaway 2/24/16}

Corner Bakery Cafe has long been a staple of the Chicago area. The cafe started in 1991 as--you guessed it-- a corner bakery. After incorporating customers requests and a passion for melding fresh ingredients ignited, the bakery evolved into a cafe. Today, the menu includes breakfast, lunch and dinner selections as well as bakery temptations. Soups, salads, sandwiches, scrambles, oatmeal, pasta, bundt cakes, brownies and more--there is something for everyone. Of course, there are customer favorites on the menu! Here is a look at the bestselling meals at Corner Bakery Cafe:

Our visit to Corner Bakery:

My daughter and I visited Corner Bakery on a recent afternoon and tried one of their favorites, the Chopped Salad, as well as a cup of Sriracha Black Bean Soup---along with treat, of course! We did one of the meal combos--salad and cup of soup. I was pretty impressed with the size of the salad--especially the healthy amount of chicken. Really filling--with a good amount of vegetation.

I am a HUGE black bean soup, so I NEEDED to try the Sriracha Black Bean Soup. Before sampling, I was a bit apprehensive that the soup would be too spicy. But, I found the soup to be a pleasant winter warmer with a bit of a bite.

My daughter, of course, needed a treat and opted for a chocolate mini bundt. I love that Corner Baker has a mini bundt--a little treat as opposed to a too big one! A little bit of sweet to end our visit!
