Corner Cottage

Corner Cottage! An incredible place with a rich history. Congratulations to the new owners, they’ve managed to preserve the tradition and soul of this historic spot while also elevating its quality and professionalism. The space is now more welcoming, with smart marketing and a well-prepared team delivering excellent customer service. They’re open until 2am(!), whether you’re in the mood for a great breakfast or a satisfying lunch. Highly recommended; plenty of parking, and I especially want to highlight the friendliness and warmth of the staff. Great job to everyone involved, well done!

Someone recommended this place and the reviews looked legit, so I gave it a shot. Ended up waiting over an hour for a small breakfast burrito and bowl. Portions were tiny and pretty basic. The steak was thin with lots of chewy bits, my bowl lacked flavor, and the eggs had a burnt taste. Honestly, the salsa was the best part. They were super busy, not sure why, and while the staff was friendly and working hard, the food just didn’t live up to the hype. Can’t recommend it.

Best breakfast burritos in Burbank!! Their salsa is so addictive I need it on every bite. Most delicious burritos with the perfect ratio of ingredients! Always the loveliest customer service too. Definitely a must try if you haven’t already!

Corner Cottage has recently undergone a change in management, resulting in notable enhancements that merit recognition. One significant improvement is the introduction of labels on the burritos, which has alleviated the previous challenge of identifying ownership. This simple yet effective solution demonstrates a keen understanding of customer needs and enhances the overall dining experience. In addition to this improvement, the establishment continues to excel in its culinary offerings. The breakfast burritos, burgers, sandwiches, fries, and other delectable items are consistently prepared to a high standard, with particular emphasis on flavor and quality. The signature chopped salsa, renowned for its exceptional taste, remains a standout feature of the menu, contributing to the overall satisfaction of patrons. During my recent visit, I sampled the sausage and bacon combination as well as the steak and bacon burrito with extra salsa. The innovative combination of meats is a testament to the culinary creativity at Corner Cottage, and I encourage all patrons to explore these options. It is imperative to acknowledge and commend the team for their unwavering commitment to providing the finest breakfast burritos available. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a superior dining experience.

Have had mixed feelings about this place over the years. I love their salsa, but the breakfast burrito can sometimes be overpowered by too many potatoes. Thankfully the new ownership has fixed this with new customization options and new online ordering. Will definitely be coming back. Great prices too!

One of the best breakfast burrito by far, without being overwhelming with ingredients. Egg, potato, cheese, your choice of meat. But all the flavors come together with the salsa, so make sure to ask for the salsa in the burrito. Place could use some renovation. I know the winds blew out the sign, but overall still could get some TLC. but food is great.

Corner Cottage (often in Highland Park or Burbank) is known for killer breakfast burritos and cash-only lines out the door. My steak burrito with extra salsa was flavorful, spicy, and loaded. The salsa is reported as “amazing” by many locals. It’s humble counter service but you come here for the burrito excellence. Highly recommend arriving early to skip the line

I'm not sure if it's new owner or if people truly enjoy this but the only redeeming quality of this bacon breakfast burrito was the tortilla. This burrito most mostly bland mushy hashbrowns with the occasional tiny piece of bacon or egg. I drove here because of all the great reviews and social posts and was extet disappointed.

I'll be super short. This place never disappoints. The breakfast burrito is always delicious. I went with the sausage burrito which was tasty. I could eat two if I could. It's that good.

This is the time when I wish I could give ZERO STAR. This place used to be one of the best, if NOT the best burrito joint. As usual, nothing good lasts forever. Place is sold, under new management that doesn't know their (_!_) from a hole on a ground. I called in my order at 10:40am today, Saturday. I was told it would take 40 minutes, which I agreed and prepared to wait and ended up canceling. I waited till 11:30am for two burritos. This is unprofessional, to say the least. Under old management, the guy was on top of his game. I wasted almost an hour to cancel my order. We have been coming here for over 2 decades. Needless to say, we will never order here again. New ownership has no clue how to run a business. As I was waiting, I made some disturbing observations: 1. Nearly all the cooks and workers had beards and big bush of hair and wore no hairnets in a very tight cooking space filled with sweat and hair (as opposed to the old cooking crew who wore hairnets). What are the chances hair is not going to end up in the food. No chance. Working in a food joint with no hairnet is totally unacceptable. 2. They implemented a new order system by QR code in addition to phone orders and walk-ins. If you are not able to handle such volume of orders, then don't pick up the phone, like the old management did: they did not pick up the phone when orders got out of hand. As frustrating as it was for customers, it worked and the business ran smoothly. In short, DON'T ORDER HERE. The food doesn't taste the same either (my husband order a while back). There are other places to go to. Not everyone is cut out to run a food business, regardless of what people think of themselves. Having money to invest in a food joint is not enough. New management has no experience in a food business and they should have never obtained this business that was exceptional.

This used to be our favorite burrito spot in the area but the last two times we've been, the salsa is just not spicy at all. We love really spicy food and the salsa is what made these burritos for us. Now, without the spicy salsa, these are just average breakfast burritos. Now that's not to say they're not good, just not worth it for me without the spicy salsa. The service is still nice and friendly under the new ownership, and the burritos are still a good size, just as before. Ultimately, we won't be coming back here again. However, if you never cared for the spicy salsa or couldn't handle it, then I would say not much else has changed.

New management is really bringing the business into the future! Now they're taking online orders (in person it's cash only still) and they added gift cards to the mix.

I'm not from the area but was craving a breakfast burrito before my flight. This place hit the spot. The bacon burrito was delicious!! I loved their crunchy thin bacon. I didn't add salsa to my burrito, but I wish I did1 -I guess it's really good. They only take cash, but you are able to scan a QR code and order/pay online if you walk and do not have cash on you. The service was super friendly and fast. I wish we had something like this in the bay area where I live. I also overheard one of the workers is telling a customer that they are thinking about opening on Sundays now. So if you are from here, you might be lucky and be able to get a bomb breakfast burrito seven days a week.

And so begins the downfall of a Burbank institution for decades. It saddens me to write this, though the new ownership has slowly destroyed what they probably paid good money for.... Reputation. The old regime knew to slowly raise prices as while it hurt, you could understand their struggle to make a profit as costs rose. Raising prices by almost $1 on most burritos, is in my opinion, pure greed in trying to recapture the $$ they spent. The burritos are smaller and the flavor has changed recently. It's definitely not the same as when they first took over and left things alone. Will be interesting to see who keeps coming back, though many friends I've talked to that grew up eating here, all agree that they will frequently hear less often if at all. And it truly pains me to say that as there were not many mom/pop establishments left that had the type of following that Corner Cottage did. For those that will still come here, at least your service should be quicker as the lines even in the morning, are not what they used to be. And will probably continue to get smaller as more and more competition pops up in the breakfast space. The simple rule is, you don't mess with what works.

What do you call a hidden gem that everyone knows? Corner Cottage. In another timeline, it'd be easy to pass by this small, beige building on South Victory Boulevard...but in this timeline, it's 9am on a Saturday and there's a crowd of people outside looking like they're waiting for a Black Friday sale to start. Why are all these people in line? They're waiting for the best breakfast burrito in town. Corner Cottage has many things on the menu from breakfast burritos, burgers, and teriyaki bowls...but everyone comes here for two things: relatively cheap eats and the breakfast burritos. There's nothing extravagant about the burrito...it's not the size of a house or filled with some sacred, organic meat or artisan potatoes. It's just a breakfast burrito...potatoes, eggs, cheese, and a meat of your choice wrapped in a tortilla. The best restaurants are the ones that do simple things the right way. Some might say there's too many potatoes, not enough eggs, needs more cheese, etc, but to me the ratios are perfect. Yes, the burrito is pretty heavy on the potatoes, but the way they're cooked (everything is done on a giant, well-seasoned flat-top grill) makes it great. They're not fried and crispy, they're soft and pillowy. When wrapped together with the other stuff, it's almost like a mashed potato quality and texture. Could it use more egg, maybe, but you get just enough scrambled eggs and cheese nestled between the layers of potato. The meat options vary from ham, bacon, sausage, and/or steak. Ham is OK, smoky and thin sliced ham you'd expect in an omelette or a sandwich. The bacon is crumbled to bits so you get it pretty dispersed throughout the burrito, but you never get that crunch or chew from a bigger piece. I've never had the steak, since I always get the sausage burrito. It's the best one since it's chopped up sausage links chunked throughout the burrito. It tastes very similar to the Farmer John's breakfast sausages you'd grow up with living in Los Angeles. The best feature of the burrito is what separates theirs from the rest and it's the salsa. At first you scoff at the idea that a tiny cup is all you get...but then you realize that a little bit goes a long way. You can get the salsa in the burrito or on the side. If you don't like spice, omit it or get it on the side. I always get it on the side (and maybe ask for extra) so I can spoon it on when I want. Again, the salsa isn't anything crazy...it's just a pico de gallo with either jalapenos or serranos, chopped into an oblivion. The flavors are nothing simple though...it's spicy, sour, salty, tangy, zesty...it makes the burrito, it makes you want to take another bite. Everything is cooked to order which is the biggest and only downside of this place...you might have to wait a while. On a Saturday morning I've waited around an hour for one breakfast burrito due to the line down the block and the waiting time, but it's absolutely worth it. On a weekday morning, the wait can be a bit more manageable if you show up early. The burrito will set you back 8 or 9 bucks give or take. The prices have gone up over the past couple of years, but to get a burrito this good for under 10 bucks is kinda crazy. It's 11 with a small coffee. There are other places that serve crappy breakfast burritos for way more. A double cheeseburger combo with fries and a drink is also 11 bucks. The burgers are around 5 bucks...I wanna say a teriyaki bowl is 5 or 6? If you're looking for cheap, good eats, this is the place to go. Over the years the other things that make this place special are the people behind the counter. The family that used to run it was so nice and clearly cared about the community they were serving. This year, they sold the business to a new family and they're carrying on those traditions. The quality of their product is the same, which makes sense since I recognize all the cooks to be same from all these years. I did notice little flourishes of modernization the last time I came in. They finally got some new fridges and a coffee maker. They have a computer ticket system versus hand written orders. The only thing that hasn't changed, this place is still cash only, but it's literally only a small price to pay to get a classic meal.

Really more of a 3.8 stars situation here. I was never able to make it out before the new ownership took over and I will always have a soft spot for these run down joints sprinkled all over LA, but my breakfast burrito seemed pretty basic. It was kind of bland and texturally all the same and mushy. I think this is a situation where nostalgia was greater than the quality.

After driving by recently and seeing a Costco sized line, I had to go in. I tried it before and thought I reviewed it but I don't see it. My past experience was great. Great burrito, great salsa and a great price. Check of Yelp showed some recent disappointment however. Change in price and ownership and size had some complaining that its reign at or near the top of the breakfast burrito hierarchy was over, so I just had to come in. First time inside, just a basic fast food joint with no bells and whistles, no digital boards or TVs. Couple places to sit but this ideally is a ToGo spot. Guys working were quick and super friendly. Equally important, they were open just before their advertised time of 6am. Ordered a bacon and sausage breakfast burrito. They give the option of salsa on the side or inside. Now the burrito may be a little smaller, maybe, but it was nonetheless more than filling. The salsa is and was better than any I have had anywhere. Even every Mexican joint. Amazing fresh taste, jalapeños and cilantro. Amazing. Anyway the price had increased, but not so much that it mattered. I used to think it was exceptionally inexpensive. Confusingly inexpensive. Now, even with an additional meat charge it was still only $12 and some change. A very good price still and still much cheaper than many others that are as high ranked as here. Burrito was hot and fresh, obviously, great bacon and sausage flavor, great egg, potatoes and meat ratio. I've got zero complaints. Definitely good enough to be considered one of the best in this area. Not the best, but their salsa puts it near the top. Couldnt help but notice the very reasonable lunch specials they offer as well, after 11am. Pastrami burger, fries and a drink for under $10! Unheard of! *********************************CASH ONLY CASH ONLY CASH ONLY*********************************** Any criticism because of an increase in price is really unwarranted. It's still cheaper than everywhere else. Get there early as it does get real busy by 8am. Definitely better during the week. If it's 8am on a weekend, forget bout it.

I came here for the breakfast burritos and it did not disappoint. Make sure you order them with easy potatoes and don't forget the salsa on the solid!! Cash only!!

I've been coming to Corner Cottage for over 30 years. I LOVE this place. I moved away to AZ years ago but every year I come to visit family and I will literally plan my trip around corner cottage to be sure I'm able to eat here while I'm here and also buy burritos to take home. anyway I was skeptical because I was told they were sold and that it wasn't the same but heard otherwise from others. So I had to find out for myself. It was the same only better! The new owner didn't change the food at all it was great as usual. But what he did do was change everything that didn't make sense like serving the burritos ALL DAY instead of having a cut off time. And selling the salsa by the cup. Among other things. It also seems like they cleaned it up a bit. Anyway, my family and I were very pleased and will be coming back EVERY visit!

Corner Cottage has some really good breakfast burritos. We came here on a Saturday morning and waited over 30 mins for our burritos but it was so worth it. They make each burrito one by one and so it takes a while. The ingredients in the burrito are chopping and mixed on the griddle before adding to the tortilla and wrapped, so each bite has everything. And it was so good. And the best part was it was super reasonable at $9 each. I bet they could crank out more if they wanted to, but it's a small restaurant and they only have 4 people working.

It's the second time come here for a breakfast burrito. I ordered the bacon breakfast burrito. It's a very good sized for the price. The one I ordered had eggs, bacon and potato. They give you a spicy sauce on the side that is very good. This place is consistently busy. You order up front and have to wait about 15 minutes or more if there's a lot of people. It's definitely worth it. I will definitely come back to try their other burritos or breakfast options.

Best breakfast burritos in the city The brothers do a great job It might be a little bit of a wait but it's definitely worth it

We stopped here for breakfast on a Monday morning around 9:30. The place wasn't too crowded and we got a table inside. I got the breakfast burrito with bacon and my husband got the streak breakfast burrito. Both burritos had egg, potatoes and cheese and came with two small containers of fiery green salsa. We both thought the burritos were tasty but could have done with less potatoes. The service is quick and friendly. I wish I lived nearby so I could come more often.

My wife and I have been coming here for many years, but unfortunately after today it will be the last. I overheard throughout social media that there are new owners and things are little different, at first I was giving them the benefit of the doubt but Oo man they were right. The burritos just don't taste the same, smaller burritos than before, and the price did go up a little. I overheard a customer purchase one burrito with three meats and the total was $30! Wow, but what really upset me was the fact that we ordered a burrito and we mostly got potatoes hardly any eggs in our burrito. I guess that saying is true " Forever fades away" well in this case it's for corner cottage.

Best breakfast burrito in town! Bacon, sausage, double cheese, sauce on the side. Believe me it perfection

Like many of you I've been coming here for years. I recently heard that they extended their breakfast hours so I stopped by today. Sounds like they are now under new management. The usual guy is no longer there at the register. Price was fine and the salsa still taste the same but you can't deny that you're getting a smaller burrito for sure.

The first thing we do when we get off the plane when returning to our old hometown of Burbank is go straight to Corner Cottage for a breakfast burrito. We don't get anything like it in Denver. We met the new owners last time we were in town and were impressed with their spirit of keeping the place the same as it's been over the many years. We hope they are successful!!!

Looks like new ownership took over. Not that the previous owners were bad but the place got a minor update with a new menu barcode scanning order available upfront as well as breakfast hours being extended compared to the previous 11:00am. This place has the best breakfast burritos by far and the salsa is a must. I added an extra star from my previous review for the breakfast hour extension, however I would've gave them 5 stars as I asked for more salsa and they said they can only give 2 containers max but a few customers before me got a handful of the salsa to go. I guess I gotta be a regular to get hooked up here.

Corner Cottage is known for their breakfast burritos! Very good prices, especially for LA. Very filling! There is a little outdoor patio to eat, I'm not sure if there is a bathroom. I also believe they only take cash so be prepared for that! I get the plain breakfast burrito that comes with egg, cheese, potato and I ask for the salsa on the inside. Good food and friendly and helpful staff!

As many new reviews state, unfortunately, the ownership change is ruining a Burbank staple. The prices of the burritos have gone up and the size and weight of the burritos have gone down. Very unfortunate, proceed with caution

New Owners. Same food. Same taste. More expensive. Saw some reviews saying the food is different - anyone that has been coming here for years can see plain as day that they kept on the cook team, so I think those people are the type that just don't like change. The 3 stars instead of 5 is because previously I felt like I was paying a reasonable price for what I was getting, now its overpriced.

One of the best breakfast burritos in SoCal. Everything is spot on. The tortillas are so warm and soft. The balance between cheese, potatoes, eggs, and bacon is perfect. I've been coming here for years and I always expect to wait at least 20 minutes because it's so popular. Cash only don't forget!

Amazing service since the change of ownership a lot faster efficient and people have taken over. The food tastes better the place looks a lot cleaner and a lot more effective. The burritos are definitely better in my opinion. Overall a great change!

Here again for their famous burritos. It is still cash only. It still gets super busy in the morning. I just love these hole in the wall places.

Don't ask for a bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll! They don't have rolls. Bacon was so burnt it was crumbles. My eggs were brown, and they didn't put cheese on my bacon and egg with cheese, on white bread Lettuce and tomato on my bacon egg with cheese!?! No! Makes me miss NY! Worst breakfast sandwich ever! I'll be going to Starbucks for a real breakfast sandwich. Ugh

Used to be good until the new owners took control. Same thing happened with Apollos. RIP Corner Cottage

Waooww !! My first eating there after a recommendation from a local and honestly I got no word to describe how amazing it was !! The staff is super nice, and the ambiance is very authentic !! I will DEFINITELY go back there! Highly recommended!!

Cash only! A fantastic burrito!!! If you're looking for one of the best burritos, this is the place. I got the steak and have had the sausage and both were delicious. My favorite part of the burrito is the potatoes that they grill on the grill top so it gets a nice crunch. My second favorite part is the salsa, which is amazingly spicy and a perfect compliment. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is that both times I've been here has been more than a 45 minute wait. While the burrito was amazing, I don't know if I would ever wait this long for a burrito. Maybe it'll be worth it if you do something while you wait, but just sitting there and waiting didn't feel worth it to me.

I do feel I was cheated out in the expectation in their breakfast burrito. What is all the hype about? Small, bland burritos with little to know cheese? Fast food chain make way better and flavorful burritos and others as well. I was in a pickle earlier. To go to my usual spot food truck for a good burrito or try this over hype spot? I did wrong. It's not for me. Maybe in the future I will give it another chance. Btw cash only folks!

We have gone to corner cottage for years. They have reliably good breakfast burritos. I know theres other stuff on the menu but the burrito is the major draw. It's generally busy here so making a phone order is the way to go. Make sure to bring cash as thats the only way to pay. The restaurant was recently sold to new owners. That can sometimes be an issue but in this case the new owners are doing amazingly! They have upgraded the building and equipment. Thankfully they kept the cooking team so the food tastes the same. They also extended the hours of operation witch is very nice. It's one of those places that you don't want to make famous because they are busy already but they definitely earned their stars.

Customer service is great! So is the food. I also want to express the exceptional hospitality definitely will be stopping here again!

Corner Cottage makes great breakfast burritos! Fair price for what you get. I would say the best breakfast burrito in Burbank. I always get the sausage& ham.

GREAT FOOD, GREAT PRICES, GREAT CREW. when I went in ,I wasn't even hungry, but I left having way too much food because everything looked so good. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE

I've been coming to Corner Cottage for many years. I've been their twice since the new ownership took over. I see a number of people saying the breakfast burritos aren't as good as they were, and I am TOTALLY surprised by this reaction. I think it is, without a doubt, even better than before! My friends that were with me also felt that way. Corner Cottage has always been my favorite breakfast burrito, but let's be honest, sometimes the potatoes were a little undercooked. The new owners are cooking the potatoes to perfection. The rest of the burrito, for me, is the same... the best! I'll also add, the new owners seem really nice. It's obvious to me they are working their hardest to continue the Corner Cottage tradition!

The guys behind the counter are awesome, I was hesitant at going back to try it after the new owners but I was so wrong to judge, not only did they freshen up the whole place, they made my breakfast burrito 10x better than the last time I remember having it, I got a bacon with sausage breakfast burrito with salsa and a large orange bang, thank you fellas for the excellent customer service and welcoming atmosphere, I will definitely be back soon!!

New owners , the vibe is not the same. Even the burritos are not the same . They're serving breakfast all day now . As if the line men didn't work hard enough in the morning. I'm done with this place . It's not just the fact they have new owners but they are changing everything . I am done with this place.

Look, this is not my kind of place at all. But I love what they're all about. A very simple breakfast burrito that people line up for every morning. Haven't tried anything else here. The parking lot has plenty of space. The employees are running the business like a well-oiled machine. There's a reason this place is a legend.

This is one of my favorite breakfast burrito spots in the neighborhood. I always order the bacon breakfast burrito, which is so good with their homemade salsa. You must get here early because they open at 7 am and stop serving breakfast at 11 am, and it gets super busy during these times, especially Saturday mornings. They have ample parking available. They have limited inside and outside seating areas. The place is relatively small but gets a good amount of people. Be prepared to wait a bit for your order. The wait can take long but it is worth the wait. Trust me!

"I had the most wonderful breakfast experience at Corner Cottage! The food was absolutely delicious - everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. The service was warm and attentive, making me feel right at home. The cozy atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing start to the day, and the variety on the menu ensures there's something for everyone. Whether you're in for a quick bite or a leisurely brunch, Corner Cottage does not disappoint. Highly recommended, and I can't wait to come back!"

I've been a customer of this place for years, honestly I was disappointed that the original owners were parting ways from here, however I think the place is cleaner and the food is on point. I didn't taste anything different. The portions and quality is the same if not better. Sometimes ownership change makes things better and this place is no exception.

Was hesitant to try under new ownership... Different salsa but I liked it. Burrito tasted good, BUT WAY SMALLER AND MORE EXPENSIVE! Not worth it! Texted long time Burbankians to ask their opinions and everyone is saying same thing.

Quality and coconsistency has gone to trash. I want breakfast burrito not a POTATOES burrito. New owners kinda suck also, very prideful.

There is not much to be said about this place. I get into the same debate with many people, and my answer will never changed. My favorite breakfast burrito of all time. Something about the potatoes and the tortilla they use, and their homemade salsa, no where has reached that level for me. Many have reached close and tied, but none to beat it. I always get extra cheese and extra bacon on my burrito, and getting the sale on the inside is a must. (But be careful, their salsa is super spicy; so if sensitive to heat, get it on the side). The team working there is great, but the one thing that sucks, its ALWAYS a long line of people, and because they are so busy in the store, its very hard to reach them over the phone to preorder. But I never mind the wait for their breakfast burrito! It gets very crowded inside but lots of seating available outside and lots of parking available in the back. Such great burritos for such a small hole-in-the-wall spot.

This won't make anyone list of Top 10 SoCal Breakfast Burritos but this arguably amongst the best values in LA County. I've been here three times in 2023 which is extremely rare since I'm always in search of new places to try. Walk inside and you're transported to decades past. Friendly service. Fresh quality ingredients. A nonstop assembly line of solid breakfast burritos being made every minute. Not a huge burrito but for under $9 and loaded with hot and tasty hash browns, these burritos will leave you satisfied. I appreciate the hours of operation since nearly all the other highly rated breakfast options in Burbank don't open until after 7 or 8am. It's cash only and just a few tables inside and outside.

Burritos are good the salsa is awesome come early there is always a line out the door.

Just goes to show nothing last forever. All you have left are memories. I visit the spot occasionally when I have the time. Just recently visited. Order extra bacon. If that was extra bacon I'd hate to have the regular version. Also burrito was smaller so there was a lot of extra tortilla and had more potato. I read the review that owner ship has changed. Didn't know the quality would change. Positive note breakfast extends to 1:30. Unless it goes back to the original version I don't think I'll make the trip.

Some people spend years meditating to remind them of the inherent beauty and joy of being alive. I eat a corner cottage bacon breakfast burrito salsa inside.
