Corner Shop

Lovely cafe/grocery store in a convenient location. The atmosphere is lively and the coffee is excellent. The service is okay given that the place is still very new. The food is fresh and delicious with an affordable price. Only suggestion is to cover the pastries as it is right on the till where people talk and hand things over the counter - lots of germs. The matcha is okay but is pre-whisked in a bottle which isn’t great.

The best place to drink non alcoholic wines, fresh delightful, honest, nutritious food.. style and substance it's a must visit .. Best ice cream too ..

I’m obsessed with the Corner shop. Honestly the food quality is IN-CRE-DI-BLE. The service is amazing, there is more than enough spaces both inside and outside the shop. Price wise, it’s not the cheapest but for me personally it’s worth it. I don’t want this place to get popular and part of me wants to keep it a secret, but it looks like the locals are already catching on. This place as serious potential. Recommendation for breakfast I would say try the smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel & for lunch the Greek salad with smoked trout. And if there is space for dessert I would go for the pain of chocolat. Thank you ❤️

I’ve been to The Corner twice now, and both times left me with mixed feelings. The service, to be honest, is currently poor really poor. But what makes me give five stars is the team’s genuine desire to improve. Both times I visited, I was either surprised with a sincere apology from the manager or offered a small freebie and that gesture matters. It shows they recognise when something’s gone wrong and try to make it right, which earns respect. So, instead of focusing on the negatives, here’s where I think they can get better: Coffee: The beans are good, but the execution isn’t. I once ordered a flat white and received a latte. When they brought the flat white, the latte art was terrible They really need to step up here, especially considering they’re just minutes from Watch House inside Somerset House, where standards are higher. Food: The food is great. No complaints about the taste. But pricing can be unclear for example, the distinction between a full chicken and a half chicken isn’t obvious. Given the premium location and clientele, people are willing to pay but they still expect clear, transparent pricing. Drinks: Honestly, the best part so far. Their Negroni is excellent genuinely one of the best I’ve had in the area. They should definitely lean more into this strength and invest further in the drinks offering. Final note on the service: This is your bottleneck. It needs urgent attention. There’s a blonde girl who consistently takes the wrong orders multiple friends of mine have mentioned the same, and I’ve experienced it myself. Once the service is sorted, I think The Corner has the potential to be truly outstanding.

What a lovely surprise coming out of the Temple station. The distinguished chairs caught our eyes! Huge variety of cakes and food. It was hard to decide. I had a choux and my friend had a cherry tart. Both were fresh and of high quality !!! The waiters were friendly and well mannered. The first one happily took a picture of us when we asked him and a second one brought us a bottle of water with our coffees. When I mentioned how tasty the cakes were, he explained that they make everything at the premises. I wish every success to the business. And I hope to maintain the high standards.

I walked into this café full of high hopes, but left deeply disappointed. All the pastries and bread were completely exposed on the counter, with small fruit flies landing on them — it was unhygienic and off-putting. The staff were cold and unwelcoming, especially the ladie working near the coffee machine. We waited a long time at the counter before anyone acknowledged us, and when she finally did, she showed no expression, didn’t greet us, and seemed unsure about the prices of the items. I bought a bagel and a focaccia. The bagel was extremely hard and the focaccia was overwhelmingly salty and greasy. Neither was enjoyable. To be fair, one male staff member was polite and did approach me while I was looking at the menu to ask if I needed help, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, that small gesture didn’t make up for the overall careless service and poor food quality. This café looks promising from the outside, but the actual experience was careless, unprofessional, and disappointing. Definitely not coming back.

Fantastic addition to the area, lots of nice lunch options at reasonable value as well as good coffee and pastries. my one concern is the pastries are left out uncovered with people leaning over them to order, otherwise the place is perfect

Horrible horrible service. Waited 20 mins for a Caesar salad from an open counter…no line either.. it’s insane.. I’ve been coming here since it open and the sit down service is always shakey, breakfast usually isn’t too busy so much quicker but recently started doing lunch.. fair to say I will not be coming back for lunch ever. Feel sorry for the staff at the counter they’re so nice and positive but the kitchen just twiddling their thumbs… Foods actually good but the way this is setup with no que order or collection space is CRAZY! Avoid if you’re in a rush… or got a 30 mins lunch break 🫣
