Cornerstone Cafe

The closest thing to a diner you’ll find in Chicago. Family owned and operated, cozy , and with a broad but entirely delicious menu. Wonderful breakfast sandwiches , omelets , club, pancakes , & wraps .

Everything they do is on point. Amazing seasonal pancake specials, delicious chili , huge omelets and breakfast sandwiches , and even great salads . Super crowded on the weekends but well worth it.

Tish and Paul, the mom and pop who own this joint, are terrific. She's the sergeant, while he chats with customers. Get the corned beef hash , or the turkey sausage scrambler .

Cute little cafe ! Came on a Friday morning to work...food was great, prices reasonable, the staff is super friendly , and they have wifi ! Will definitely be back.

the smoked Gouda omelette is incredible, the portions are gigantic, and the service is friendly . what more could you ask for in a breakfast place?

Love this place. Never had anything I didn't like. The cinnamon apple Belgian waffle is to die for.

Get a great Reuben sandwich with a house salad .

The smoked salmon & cream cheese omelette is a Jew's dream and a goy's heavenly breakfast . Amazingly tender salmon with about a 1/2 stick of cream cheese in the middle. BONUS: fruit on your pancakes .

Friendly service ! Had the Salmon Avocado Eggs Benedict - delicious ????!

Come for breakfast or lunch !! Omelette 's are fresh & flavorful! The chicken salad is Tish's recipe & the best. Burgers also thumbs up with sweet potato fries .

Very good best patty melt I ever had. Good service , daily specials on board

I've been there every weekend for about a month now and haven't found something I didn't like. Great food, quantity for the price too!

Corned beef hash is absolutely top tier! Very friendly waitresses . Great coffee . Very highly recommended.

Split a sandwich . Friendly staff indeed. Never disappoints!

Egg white omelettes , french toast , crepes , turkey burger , monte cristo

Go across the street to the Waffle place, nothing to see here

Biscuits , gravy .

The corned beef hash is amongst the best in Chicago.

Grody to the MAX! Waitress gave us dirty looks. My eggs came out green-ish. And tell me how you mess up pancakes at a place like this... Over priced. Go to the Golden Nugget across the street.

Food's always good

Nicest business owners you ever wanna' meet

Some outdoor seating . Not gross at all.

Mediocre across the board. Hash browns not good
