Corner Cafe

For a breakfast meeting, I recently visited Corner Cafe for the first time. Why didn't I eat breakfast here sooner? Hey, I'm a freelance writer; I don't set an alarm unless I absolutely have to.

I arrived at 9:33 a.m., which by my watch was three minutes late and for that I blame the red light at Piedmont and Pharr Rd. When I strolled through the front door I anticipated that I'd find the group lingering somewhere near the hostess stand waiting for a table. Instead, I found them already seated in the dining room and finished with the first round of coffee. Either those ladies really make the most of three minutes or someone forgot to tell me the altered meeting time.

In any case, the servers promptly arrived to pour me coffee and offer a menu. I saw eggs benedict and looked no further.

I adore eggs benedict. Too often chefs are reluctant to serve the original dish, not able to resist adding their own personal flair to it. Not so here. It's the real thing and it's super yummy.

Bottom Line: Breakfast here makes it worth getting out of bed.
