The Corner Pantry

Had a late breakfast here. At 9:30 there was plenty of available seating both inside & outside. I had a Farm Plate and my son had an All Day Egg & Cheese (with smoked salmon). I also had an Apple & Rhubarb Streusel pastry. All of the food was delicious. Staff were patient, helpful and attentive. Restrooms were clean (there are two mixed gender toilets). Somewhat on the pricey side for breakfast ($67 for two with drinks/pasties), although what isn’t these days?

Had lunch with another couple yesterday at The Corner Pantry on Falls Rd. This restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. It's a very nice venue. You order, pay, and tip at the cash register before you even know the level of service you will experience. We had good service. I had Welsh Rarebit. This is supposed to be toast with a savory cheese sauce on top. The Corner Pantry adds thin slices of grilled ham. Unfortunately, the layer of savory cheese sauce was so thin that I couldn't even taste it. I searched under the ham and saw that the layer of cheese sauce was actually present, but the taste of it was overpowered by the ham. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and kid friendly.

I do love the Corner Pantry, and have been loyal customer for years, but the pricing has crossed a line into unreasonable. First, I do know how hard it is to run a profitable restaurant in 2025. Inflation is real. Staffing is hard. I’m so glad they stuck it out and am grateful they’re here. I always want to support great local businesses, and I was understanding for a time after their recent expansion about why they had to raise prices and seriously reduce portions. Sad - but okay. However - I think it’s gone too far crossed into some pretty unreasonable pricing - which feels excessive - like they know they have a captive audience with few other options - and they can milk it for all it’s worth. I was just charged $17 (after tip) for a SINGLE small PANCAKE (pictured), and $10 for an iced chai latte after tip. We’ve gone too far - and sadly just like I stopped going to Stonemill when a sandwich passed $20, gonna have to stop coming here regularly and make this a very rare occasion spot. Which is sad. I just think that’s predatory pricing. Maybe they can find enough billionaires for pay these prices - I guess everything is this world is for the super rich now - even our local bakeries. Let them eat $17 pancakes!

Love the creativity and quality. Apparently so does the rest of the world, because it was MOBBED! If you are handicapped, do not come in the door closest to the lake falls village tower!!!! There was barely room to move, and it was overwhelming. I was anxious. I realized there is a second door, and it’s the better door. Both doors are very heavy though, and the correct door is the farthest from the accessible parking. The food is so so tasty and, as I said, kudos for creativity! I tried the pear, goat cheese, toffee muffin, deviled eggs, and matcha with almond milk. Every single food and beverage tastes unlike anywhere I’ve ever had it before: better (although the rosemary, chocolate chip with lemon…maybe raspberry chocolate chip with lemon? Or strawberry? Didn’t like the rosemary but was glad to try something out of the ordinary).

I've been here 3 times now and every time I'm consistently blown away. The pastries are immaculate and creative- featuring fresh fruit, bold flavors, and heavenly texture. The only complaint I have is that the scones are too dry for me, but they do often have the most innovative flavors, I keep finding myself ordering them and enjoying them despite not enjoying the texture. Even though I like the vibes here, it's not a place where you can go to hang out and relax- it's too cramped and crowded for that. It's not so cramped that it ruins the experience, but it's not somewhere you could stay for an extended period of time.

Excellent food and quick service even on bust days. Friendly staff. Will be a regular place for me

British cafe with a small menu of dine in and plenty of pastries/baked goods to choose from. We were in the area and saw this place on the map and decided to give it a try. You place an order at the counter and then find a seat. It was packed on a Friday morning. The inside is very small and narrow, with a lot of small tables. We ordered a sandwich, pancakes, and a sausage roll. The sausage roll had such good flavor but felt too buttery. The egg sandwich served on the crumpet was just ok, I loved the crumpet. I will just get the crumpet next time. The pancakes were my favorite. They were perfectly fluffy and had a sweet crunchy topping served with bananas. I love fruit so I wish they gave more fruit! Everything was delicious but on the heavier side. I’d come back to try the delicious looking baked goods! Parking there’s a lot and there’s extra tables outside if it’s warm!

Stopped by here to have lunch at around 2pm, but since they close at 3pm, they had already run out of some great dishes (which narrowed our options considerably, because we’re vegetarian). We ended up getting two cold salads and some fries. The food was delicious! (The sweet potato salad was the best!) The place was crowded but during a slightly quieter time, one might be able to enjoy the ambience better. I’d suggest getting here early (looks like it’s primarily a breakfast spot), especially on weekends.
