Get Ready for a Fall Feast at Corner Bakery Cafe
Pumpkin spice season is here, whether you're thrilled or grumbling about it. Corner Bakery Cafe is throwing its hat in the seasonal ring, bringing back its crowd-pleaser Pumpkin Latte—available hot, iced, or as a cold brew. They're also rolling out a lineup full of tempting treats aimed to capture those autumn cravings. Seems like the bakery's pulling out all the stops this year to grab our taste buds' attention.
What's New at the Bakery Counter?
Alongside the much-loved Pumpkin Latte, you can sink your teeth into a Pumpkin Muffin that'll probably be the talk of the office lounge. And let's not pretend that muffins are where it stops. They're offering a variety of fresh-baked goodies like a Lemon Muffin, Lemon Tart, and a bunch of others that sound pretty sweet: Salted Brown Butter Krispie Bar, Pecan Chocolate Chunk Bar, Tuxedo Butter Cake, Almond Butter Cake, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake, and a no-nonsense Fudge Brownie.
Erin Hasselgren, president of Corner Bakery Cafe, seems to believe these options are just what we need to keep things lively at the bakery case. Hasselgren's take? Fall's about shaking up the menu while sticking to that Corner Bakery quality folks expect. And when she puts it that way, who can argue?
The Deals to Seal the Fall Flavors
For those of us looking to bring some of that fall flavor into our meetings or family gatherings, the cafe's offering a 15% discount on catering orders of $200 or more through September. That's a solid move if you're angling to treat your team or keep the family well-fed at the weekend get-together. They’ve got everything from breakfast spreads to sandwich trays, plus salads and those sweets we can't stop thinking about.
Just remember—a good piece of advice from any seasoned consumer—you might want to check which locations are part of the deal because, as they say, "pricing and availability vary by location." And heads up, these pumpkin gems are only around till the end of the year, December 31 to be exact. So if you're all about pumpkin, now’s the time to indulge.
Corner Bakery Cafe: Keeping It Cozy for Over 30 Years
Let’s not forget that Corner Bakery Cafe isn't just a flash in the pan. This Chicago-born spot has been around since 1991, cranking out artisan breads and sweets long before half the trendy spots started doing it. It's grown quite a bit, now finding homes in 18 states and even the nation's capital. Owned by SSCP, a Dallas-based firm that's got a grip on the restaurant industry, Corner Bakery Cafe is still a neighborhood favorite.
"Fall is a great time to bring new energy to the bakery case," said Erin Hasselgren, Corner Bakery Café's president.
So, whether you’re sipping on their latte while checking your stock portfolio or grabbing a muffin for the commute, Corner Bakery Cafe aims to keep things comfortable and classic this autumn. And if they pull this off without a hitch, maybe we'll see more cafes taking notes.
