Blue Corn Cafe & Bakery

Moment you walk in you are happily greeted with great energy. They give you a sample while you decide what to order. Their Sourdough bread is delicious! I have never had a quiche before, but I ordered one because it was requested to have one at the baby shower. I was able to try a quiche before leaving and it was absolutely amazing!!!! Nick, the owner, who is just the most kindest person told me the process on how they are made and you can just tell the amount of care that goes into them. This place all around is just a good and necessary place to visit in downtown Glendale.

First off, Glendale doesn’t deserve this place… This place is actually really nice! When I walked in I was immediately greeted and offered a sample of carrot cake. The sample was amazing and not too sweet either. I saw they sold macarons and I am kind of a connoisseur of them so I thought I would try. At $15 for 6pc it’s not a bad price if they are good but after sitting down and opening the package and sampling a couple there wasn’t much flavor and almost no filling. So at that price it felt like a rip off I went and told the owner and I expected him to be insulted be he actually was extremely kind and friendly, he asked what was wrong not in a “what’s your problem” type of way but like “how can we improve.” Anyways, he gave me my money back and then warmed up a chocolate muffin and gave it to me. This was AMAZING customer service!! This was my fault for choosing the macarons when they don’t specialize in them. Their other desserts were amazing just to look at I definitely want to go back and make business here. Seriously amazing and beautiful pastries and wonderful customer service!!

Wow! Oh. My. Goodness. Out of this world doesn’t even begin to describe this bakery and cafe. The calming, cozy and relaxing atmosphere welcomes you as soon as you walk through the door. Every bite is a piece of heaven—flaky, buttery croissants, moist and flavorful muffins, rich and dreamy tarts. You can taste the love and skill in every creation. They serve high-quality drinks that pair perfectly with their baked goods. Between the excellent customer service and the high quality selection of treats- one thing is for certain, you’ll leave happier than when you came in. This place isn’t just a bakery—it’s an experience. Delicious food, impeccable service, and thoughtful touches that make it ideal for everyone, especially families. We didn’t want to leave. I can’t wait to come back again and again!

Such a cute bakery and the foods amazing! My mom and I had two different quiche and agree that it was better than the one we had from France. The staff was so nice and welcoming. I highly recommend stopping by!

I died and went to heaven today when I walked into Blue Corn Cafe. Service was phenomenal, and even though the line was long they were so quick. It is the day before Easter and they were cranking out treats left and right. We tried a cheesecake tart and it was seriously one of the best desserts I have ever eaten. My husband who is not a sweets fan ate so much of it ha ha. He could not stop saying how great it was. I’m kicking myself for not trying one of the quiches. We also ordered a hot Americano and an iced honey lavender latte. Both were phenomenal. Location isn’t huge, but bright clean and has a good amount of seating to enjoy your treats there with a friend or two. We cannot wait to come back. So dang good!

Stopped by with a group for takeout lunch. I ordered a tomato quiche slice, and it was so good. Really smooth and delicious. The bake handed out samples of the bread which was very tasty. He also handed out a sample of a chocolate muffin which, again, was amazing. I'll definitely be back for lunch and plan on trying other ones of their sandwiches. Highly recommended.

One word AMAZING! Super friendly! The owner is incredible! The soup to die for! Cookies OVER the top! An don't forget the sandwich Holy cow! The bread is OUTSTANDING! You HAVE to try the quiche! Absolutely heavenly! Top ten on my list! What are you waiting for!? TRY THIS PLACE! I'm in love!

I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, and it was immediately clear that his passion for the craft runs deep not only in the way he speaks about his work, but in the creativity and care he brings to every pastry. I attended an event where I sampled an array of his creations, including muffins, macarons, quiche, and cheesecake. The greatest compliment I can offer is this I’ve never finished a slice of cake in my life until his. I could’ve gone back for seconds. Thank you for the unforgettable experience. I’ll definitely be returning soon.

The customer service is top tier and the workers are so sweet as well! They would give out small samples of their fresh bakery items. The bread and soup i've gotten were just so yummy! definitely coming back soon for more! My mother definitely loves this place!

my first time there & it was amazing service , the owner was super nice and helpful! We he gave me and my toddler some samples , they were delicious! He was kind to my toddler. The ambiance was calm, clean and just relaxing. I will be coming back! Thank you!:)

Such a wonderful place to go! The owner was so nice and friendly he gave us samples and my husband that never eats cupcakes had to order one because of the sample. We found our new favorite bakery!!!

Gotta say - I have not spent much time in downtown Glendale. Was pleasantly surprised when I ran across Blue Corn Cafe. Stopped in to get a coffee, but ended up with a muffin and a coffee. The service is fast and fast friendly, the vibe is mellow and welcoming, and the baked good were delicious. The selection of baked goods was quite good - cookies, cakes, muffins, croissants, and macarons. I opted from a blueberry muffin - it was tall and full of blueberries. The outside was nicely crispy as well. Almond milk latte (iced) was good as well. The rest of the pastries looked really good, but no way was I getting through more than one.. N*joy!

Searched for bakery NEAR ME after my Dr appt, wanted to get some yummy cookies for my Dr and her staff to say Thank you for being awesome. Blue Corn Cafe & Bakery popped up and they were less than a mile away-BONUS My husband and I were greeted by a very pretty lady, Natalie, who was very helpful! Phillip, my husband, asked if they had soup and she indicated it was tomato which is perfect since I don't eat meat-BONUS The large sized bowls of soup were served with slices of their made in house sour dough bread. Excellent soup and bread to die for! Had to buy a loaf to take home and Natalie sliced it for us. Every slice was lovingly eaten and will NEED more! The owner/baker, Nick, offered Phillip a cupcake and of course, he accepted gladly. We split it and it was so yummy Nick explained the steps he takes to make their quiche and we could just tell this gentleman knows his stuff and puts love into everything this shop offers! If you're ever in Old Town Glendale...You Must visit this place. Promise you'll be as impressed as we were! Thank you Nick & Natalie for being the BEST! See You Soon :-) Fran & Phillip

Lo I entered Blue Corn Cafe on Mother's Day seeking naught but a brief greeting and behold Nick the gracious keeper and owner of this fine haven bestowed upon me a free sample so divine it stirred the very soul within me the flavors were a revelation a glimpse of paradise itself a kindness unexpected yet greatly cherished verily this place is a sanctuary of taste and hospitality may blessings abound upon the hands of Nick and all who labor within Nick the Benevolent ruler of Blue Corn Cafe, may his reign be long and his samples never run dry.

We have an event in Glendale, but wanted to get some treats beforehand. I've had this place on my list for a while and I'm glad we finally made it! It has such a quaint and darling charm inside and outside! All of their food items are in the front, but unfortunately there's no menu board by the register! So you can either ask incessantly what they have or already know what you want. The service was very nice though and they were handing out free samples for the customers to try! There is a lot of seating - some of it mismatched lol but it's cool. As for the food - omg! The strawberry rose muffin is SO GOOD!! We also ordered the lemon cookie, and two breakfast croissant sandwiches to go. My husband ordered a strawberry lemonade - also very good, sweet like candy. I ordered the strawberry vanilla latte which was a nice touch of berry flavor. I would love to come back again!

Delightful bakery in Downtown Glendale. We tried the raspberry cheesecake tart, New York cheesecake tart, a chocolate mousse dome and a lemon blueberry muffin. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing. My blueberry muffin was right out of the oven and still warm. The staff was so kind and friendly. We were greeted with smiles and plenty of samples. The decor is adorable and fun. Definitely worth visiting.

I wish I could give this bakery 10/10 stars but since I cannot 5 stars will do! I was introduced to this bakery a few weeks ago and I couldn't believe the deliciousness I was missing out on! Everything is freshly baked by Chef Nick and his great team! I especially love how this bakery offers sample of the sweet and savory pastries so the customer will know what they are getting before they make their purchase. They also offer various drinks and soups that pair very well with either a sweet pasty or a savory one. I almost forget to mention the delicious jalapeño cheddar sourdough bread. If you don't like that flavor, no worries! They also have a plain sour dough bread option. They will slice your bread in the bakery if you want with their old school bread slicer. I'm a big fan of the zucchini bread and croissants. Nothing beats a fresh croissant and butter on top after putting it in the microwave for 30 seconds! If you like cheesecake tarts or yummy cupcakes, this place is a must try!

I always wanted to go back, but the hours are not convenient. I randomly swung by one day when I was driving home from the office or driving to my other job. Anyway, what I got was so good that I wanted to go by again between jobs. That visit was great and then I went another day and was telling them I wanted to come the day prior but they were closed. Say less, cause now they are open seven days per week 10am to 2pm! I don't want to spoil it, but they give samples. I have had samples of lemon cookies, sourdough bread, zucchini bread, and jalapeno bread. One day when I was leaving they handed me a zucchini muffin and told me to warm it for like 20-30 seconds. I am not a tomato eater, but I ate one of their ready-made sandwiches that has tomato in it, and I did not even remove it, that is how good they are! They generally have a crowd hanging out at their tables. It is a nice place to sit and have a chat or quick meeting. They have seating in the front and back. They have some other things, like lavender for sale too. Oh, and I discovered on Facebook that they have a banned books book club that meets there too!

Stop by to the coolest bakery in Glendale! Right when we walked in, the music selection was on point. I enjoyed the vibes inside the cafe. The owner, Nick, was very friendly and offered free tasting of sour bread. Very tasty! I wanted to try everyone the menu. My mom got a cup of coffee with a carrot cake. I took a sip of the coffee and it was delicious. The carrot cake was perfect, not too sweet, just right. I got an iced chai tea- great sweetness and more on the milky side. I also got a chocolate chip cookie. It was very moist and just the right side snack. Tables were clean. Bathroom was clean. This place was busy the whole time we were there. I'll be coming back!

This cute cafe is conveniently located in downtown Glendale. Parking can be challenging since there are only a few spaces in front of the cafe but there is a parking lot not too far away. Nick was great! He offered so many samples while I was in line. I got to try the chocolate cake, sourdough bread, and lemon tart. I got the quiche, honey lavender coffee, cheesecake tart,chocolate cookie, and zucchini muffin to go and everyone was so delicious and fresh! Nick even gave me a free lemon blueberry muffin. The staff there are very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this bakery and go back! :) My brother ordered a strawberry cheesecake for me and it was delicious! Super fresh and topped with plenty of strawberries on top!

I came here for a meetup and enjoyed some delicious food and tea! The cafe is very big, lots of places to sit. However, when I arrived, there were a ton of people there, and the line to order was pretty long. But it moved quickly and I was still able to find a seat. This place has a HUGE selection of baked goods including breads, pies, cakes and cookies. First, I tried the apple pie tea and a red velvet cookie. The cookie was delicious and I would probably order one next time too. Soft, and a little chewy. They also had sandwiches to go and I ended up ordering a pesto mozzarella sandwich which was incredible!!!! Highly recommend, and you can also get the sandwiches warmed up. Blue Corn cafe was great, and I would totally come back here for coffee and snacks.

I died and went to heaven today when I walked into Blue Corn Cafe. Service was phenomenal, and even though the line was long they were so quick. It is the day before Easter and they were cranking out treats left and right. We tried a cheesecake tart and it was seriously one of the best desserts I have ever eaten.

Be careful if you have nut allergies. I ordered a cortado with oat milk. It was taking so long to get my coffee [they started handing out bits of muffin to appease the people in line. I declined.] that I was watching the barista as a pass time. I noticed he was making all the drinks with almond milk. I watched him put a lid on a coffee, call it out as a cortado with oat milk & my name. I asked if it was actually oat milk. All he said was "No, I ran out. I can give you a refund" Fortunately I hadn't paid yet, unfortunately time can't be refunded. That was my second & last visit.

Good food, great service. Comfortable ambiance. I will be back. Large variety of choices of each product. Snicker doodles are yummy. Great breakfast lunch place as you visit beautiful downtown Glendale.

Coffee and food were delicious. Loved the location. Nice area to sit inside and visit. Staff was very nice and gave us samples.

Smells absolutely amazing upon walking in! The smell of fresh baked pastries in the morning, ahhhhh. I got myself a honey oat latte -- 5/5 The service was lovely. The nice woman working gave me a cookie sample. It was hot and fresh.. tasted like a lemon cookie? SO DELISH with my latte! I'll come back here any time

Wow! This place has delicious food, great coffee but the service is warm, friendly and generous! I had the artichoke quiche and a latte with samples of all kinds of pastries

Nothing like a Sunday Bookclub at Blue Corn Cafe! If you were to walk by this place looks will be deceiving. It appears as if it's a small little cafe with very little standing room, however when you walk in you find a welcoming and spacious space to enjoy a cup of coffee and a wide variety of treats and fresh made bread. This place is so cute and you will struggle to narrow down the list of what you want to try first. Nick is so welcoming and even treated our group to free samples of their traditional & jalapeño bread. If you're in the Glendale area come check them out. You won't regret stopping by!

2nd visit and did not disappoint! I've been telling everyone about the amazing quiche and delicious baked items! Brought my hubby and he had the panini Sammie and the Tomato Bisque soup...delicious and again the portions are sooo generous! Staff were as friendly and helpful as the first time I visited and it's just the cutest little cafe/bakery! What're you waiting for?!?! Check them out and support local businesses!!

I ordered an absolutely stunning and delicious lemon cookie and cookies & cream cupcake. The staff were very kind, wonderful, and quick. I recommend stopping inside to check out the art and display items.

We met the owner Nick who is exceptionally welcoming. It was our first time visiting and you bet we will be back because their baked goods and food were not just delicious, they were fresh! We had their velvet cookie, carrot cake, mozzarella Tomatoe pesto panini, their green tea pomegranate and their passion fruit jasmine tea. They also shared they bake their sourdough bread fresh daily. This is a unique place to visit with anyone, friends, family, on a date and even a business meeting.

What a delightful Valentines lunch at Blue Corn Cafe and Bakery! Cinda had artichoke and parmesan cheese quiche and I chose the tomato medley, basil and boursin quiche. We shared a bowl of homemade clam chowder served with fresh sourdough bread. Nick,'the owner, explained his 3 day process of making the quiche! He also gifted us with pistachio and vanilla macarons. Yolanda was friendly in taking our order and serving the food. This is an authentic homemade bakery and restaurant! Kudos to Nick and his epic assortment of food and desert. We will be back!!

Brunch with the grandkids. Hospitality plus great food that's a 10 star rating. We were welcomed in greeted with fresh out of the oven sourdough bread and several samples of pastries. Seating is comfortable and inviting for a comfy moment with a book and beverage or spending time with family and friends. Excellent business vision complimented by the kind and friendly staff, Nick the owner is working behind the back as well as working the front. He was engaging with all who entered and checking on everyone to make sure we all had a pleasant experience. Compliments to Huitzil, Fernanda, Natalie, Naveda, and Monica for helping us with our several orders, a group of seven undecided but excited and hungry! Don't second guess yourself this is a must stop if you're in the area. We will be stopping on our way back to California! Thank you all

I came back to feed my zucchini bread addiction and had a bowl of delicious hot clam chowder for the first time here. The cashier was friendly and helpful as always and she even gave us samples! Nick really is the best baker out here! The sourdough was delicious and everything tasted fresh as always. There hasn't been 1 person I've taken here that wasn't impressed

I can't emphasize enough the pastries and sandwiches are chefs kiss. Everything is light and flavorful . My favorite part is that they give samples which made me purchase double of what i originally intended . we had panini caprese,quiche ,Lavender cupcake ,strawberry cupcake .It is worth every mile you drive here .

We highly recommend Blue Corn Cafe and Bakery!! The food, drinks, and ambiance are excellent!! This is a great place to meet up with friends and family. We shared all five types of quiche- amazing flavors, light and delicious. The artichoke parmesan quiche was our favorite! These were served on cute floral plates. The cheddar jalapeño bread, zucchini muffins, and blueberry muffins samples were delicious too and we ordered those to go. We loved the peach tea and strawberry and vanilla latte and the chocolate cheesecake tart. The super friendly staff made this experience very enjoyable! We are already planning a trip back with family!

This is my favorite spot for a sweet treat. The owner is so kind and the baked goods are amazing.

Blue Corn Cafe and Bakery is a must visit in Glendale. There always a beautiful assortment of pastries and breads, with good coffee to boot! I have been here many times and always fail to take photos because I am too busy deciding what I would like to enjoy. The staff are friendly and happy to answer questions. Recently, I enjoyed an iced hazelnut latte with cold foam and a chocolate mousse dome. To die for. The coffee cake and jalapeño cheddar sourdoughs are favorites too, I look forward to trying a jalapeño cheddar sourdough grilled cheese with their tomato soup one day. We have hosted a book club (@sbcnwvalleyaz) here several times and the team is always so accommodating. I highly recommend taking advantage of their online reservation system to rent out space. Nick and his team kindly welcome our group each time.

Found this little gem today! So glad I did. My Pistachio muffin was so moist and delicious. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was very inviting. You had a choice of comfy sofas or a nice dining table. Very quiet and pleasant!

My wife and I went in for our first time this afternoon and we are impressed with every aspect. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Definitely a place to come back to! Their baked goods were fresh and flavorful, their coffee also has a good wholesome taste. Love that this is in the heart of Glendale and it definitely brings some life back to it. Must try!

Oh my goodness! So good. The ambiance, the food, the service. I was blown away. I wish I lived closer but I know I'll be making special trips out. Fingers crossed they get another location central to Phoenix.

We loved this place! I truly felt cared for and wanted while eating at this cafe. They gave us samples and chatted with us. We even got to talk with Nick the owner/chef and he is amazing! We tried many things and the lemon tart is truly out of this world! My friend and I are also are dreaming of the pesto sandwich, the spinach quiche, and the cranberry orange muffin, amongst many other items :) Here's something unique about this cafe, some will love it and same will hate it, but there is no set menu or schedule! One day you could have the best chocolate chip muffin of your life and come back later and they'll be sold out and you may not time it right to get it again. BUT if you are smart you'll try a different muffin and I'm sure it will rock too! Because man they were good!! They have in store made sourdough. Y'all these loaves are true beauties!! So stop on by in downtown Glendale and remember they close at 2! Get there!

Amazing,, everything is just so good. The whole experience was impressive. I am not from Arizona and when I come here to visit my family I have trouble finding good sourdough bread, it's really hard to find in Arizona for some reason. But the Blue Corn Cafe has some pretty impressive bread they are so delicious. All the pastries are incredible, the soup was so good and all homemade. Love Love Love this place.

If you're thinking about stopping by--do it! My husband and I came in and had such a great experience. Nick, the owner and baker, was super kind and welcoming. He even gave us a chocolate muffin on the house, and wow--it was DELICIOUS! While we waited in line, they passed out zucchini muffin samples too, which were just as good. We also tried the waffle with a cold brew and loved it! You don't get this kind of generous, friendly vibe at most coffee or bakery places. Thank you, Nick! We'll definitely be back.

Today was my first time here and I loved it! I was immediately greeted by Nick, he was awesome! so nice and truly just made me feel so welcome. Not to mention he gave me so many samples, I tried the snickerdoodle cookie, Jalapeno cheddar sourdough, zucchini muffin and the vanilla latte. All were AMAZING! 10 out of 10 The café is beautiful inside perfect little spot to hang out and have a quick lunch and latte. Thank you Nick for the amazing experience and amazing pastries I will be back for more.

The bread was amazing, I got the cinnamon roll and a honey lavender tart and absolutely loved it. The customer service was incredible, Nick was amazing and gave us free samples to try. I loved this place and truly recommend it.

The Blue Corn Cafe hosted our book club today and it was a lovely experience. The staff was kind and service was great. Food was delicious -- especially loved the jalepeno cheddar bread. It was a great place to hang out. I look forward to coming back and exploring the area!

Started our day with a coffee date as the morning brought some hurdles and we just needed a reset. My best friend (wife) picked this spot and as we walked in we were greeted with warm smiles and freshly baked goodness to try. First we were handed a piece of banana bread, snickerdoodle cookie, croissant, zucchini, bread and I've lost track as they all were absolutely delicious! Scratch made no preservatives nothing was to sweet all perfectly balanced. We ordered some coffee myself an americano w/ a pump of sf vanilla and my wife a white chocolate mocha. Went to pay and were gifted an entire coffee cake fresh from the oven! Another absolute banger not overly spiced with cinnamon sugar or butter just perfect pairing with my americano! If you have been missing this place cus they open a little later than most bake shops you should know it's cus of all the prep work going into every well crafted piece. Something as simple as fresh frosting on the carrot cakes as we were sipping our coffee lets you know you've found a true gem.

Service is the best I've ever had! This is my second time coming in and it was just the same as the first the food is amazing so is the coffee and chai! The own is amazing and let us try the best tomato bisque I've ever had! The restaurant is so cute in side. Definitely a must try in my opinion this is the best cafe in town!

Well, I'm afraid they gained a couple of regulars today! First off, food selections are wonderful and we tried a good variety of things today; banana bread, zucchini muffins, carrot cake, lemon blueberry muffin, artichoke quiche, honey lavender tart, and we took home a jalapeño sourdough. The gentleman behind the counter cared so much about our experience, he truly went above and beyond. I love seeing people who care so much about their job and their customers. He walked us through their options, how he chose the kind of coffee beans he uses, everything! I'll also add that I'm quite picky about my coffee and it was truly incredible. We will 100% return with our families and more friends Sadly, I failed to take any photos! My best friend and I were enjoying everything far too much

First timer! We did a candle event! Owner & workers very pleasant & helpful! Enjoyed My tea & muffin!! The decor and atmosphere was welcoming! Thank you!

This is the Best Bakery around! Nick bakes the Most Amazing Cheesecakes, Desserts and Pastries! His Sandwiches, soups and Quiches are to die for! Don't forget to grab one of their in house fresh baked sourdough loaves, it is the best sourdough in town! Hands down my favorite place for lunch! Their servers are so nice and friendly, Izabel was amazing. We seriously Love this place!

Food was delicious Service was amazing and its set up so cute. I love the open kitchen you can see from the checkout. My daughter and I went here for a mommy and me breakfast and will definitely be back

AMAZING SERVICE and beautiful decorations. Such a chill vibe like it's sooo æsthetica.

I absolutely love this place I live over 30 minutes and happily make the drive every time I need sourdough From the atmosphere to the food this venue provides a cozy and family like environment The owner takes pride in his service and he's often passing out samples and making coffee and teas He's always so friendly and personable. He takes the time to walk you through his menu and what's in stock for the day Carrot cake...delicious Zucchini muffins... to die for Sourdough...mouth watering Biscoff cheesecake ...next level Strawberry and cream coffee with cold foam... Starbucks who I could go on but I think you're starting to get the point I pray their business continues to grow Establishments like these should be covered in blessings

One of the best places I've been to for coffee and pastries, a Glendale gem! I was coming here to meet with a friend and came early to scope out the place. Nick was very attentive and offered great customer service. The cafe is beautiful and fun, decorated for the winter season. There is music playing at perfect volume so it's not too quiet and I could study before my friend would show up. Nick offered some samples of the pastries that I couldn't leave without buying more to share. He offered a great suggestion on coffees and was kind in conversation. I'm telling everyone to come here to try the baked goods that Nick let me know was all from scratch.

SO cute and really good. We were immediately greeted with smiles and delicious samples as who walked in the door. The owner and his family were incredibly helpful and informed us that it would be coming out in 10 minutes. We decided to grab coffees and wait. Most bakeries that also serve coffee, do kind of a generic job with espresso, but this place definitely does not! The espresso my fiancé got was incredibly delicious and smooth. And my pumpkin spice latte was also amazing. We drove over North Phoenix to give this place a shot, and were not disappointed!
