Corner Bakery Cafe

Private Restaurant 5,000 - 10,000 employees Founded in 1991

Overview

Welcome to our amazing world. A brand that is filled to the brim with passionate people, creative thinkers, overachievers, servant leaders and folks having a blast doing what they do best – helping others.

In November of 1991, we started as a small bakery supplying artisan breads to guests throughout Chicago. Over time we have evolved into a neighborhood gathering spot serving up made-to-order breakfasts, lunches, dinners and everything in between. Get it to go, dine in or have it catered. We do it all!

The traditions that were created years ago are still practiced today. You will find real kitchens where over 40 types of fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables are chopped daily. You'll see the stove's open flames where eggs are scrambled to order, salads being hand-tossed and ovens going all day long, filling the cafes with the aroma of freshly baked breads and sweets.

Our passionate and welcoming Breadheads are the heart and soul of our brand, making our guests feel at home and connected to their neighborhoods.

Our Home Office team is committed to supporting our field operations.


Despite the fact that we're always surrounded by amazing food, we're a lean organization – designed to run as efficiently as possible. This means having the opportunity to wear many hats and learn by doing. We're also a group that believes in sharing. Not just a scrumptious tray of desserts. We're talking rewards…


Culture

Opening our doors to people from all communities. Nurturing friendships over a cup of coffee. Being tantalized by the aroma of cookies and breads fresh from the oven. We are extraordinarily passionate about our food and it shows in every detail and dish!

Of course we work hard. We’re fast – our guests have busy lives. But we’re also casual dining - we still believe in delivering food to the table. And guests can enjoy special touches like real tableware – a nice break from today’s plastic, self-service world. So whether they join us to linger over a morning cup of coffee or they're with us for a quick lunch, we're there to serve them promptly.

Along with the hard work comes FUN!  While making sure our guests have an outstanding experience, we want our team members to have a great time, too! Corner Bakery Cafe believes in being active in our communities, bringing guests and teammates together, one neighborhood at a time.

At Corner Bakery Cafe, we all rely on each other.  Need to brainstorm an idea? Considering expanding your role? Want a fresh opinion or find yourself in a jam?  Pick up the phone.  From other cafes to the Home Office, you’ll have a strong support network.  You’ll have friends who care about helping you be your best.
