We had breakfast here. My hubby got the western omelet and I got an egg, ham and cheese croissant. They both were good, not bad, just not amazing. The prices are really reasonable. I also had a vanilla latte and it was really good. I would go back for another one.

I ordered a western omelette from here through door dash. The menu indicates ham and cheese and as pictures, you can see that all I got was cold eggs with vegetables. I even asked to be charged for extra cheese and received nothing. There was an issue and the initial dasher never picked up my food as confirmed by door dash. It appears that they just gave the next delivery person the same food that had been sitting and waiting for pickup for over an hour. The food was ice cold and the avocado was brown. They either gave me bad spoiled avocado, or the avocado turned brown because it was left steaming in a food container before the transition into iced eggs.

I stopped in today (8/12/2020) to grab some lunch since it's right around the corner from my office. Cornerstone used to have a salad bar buffet and hot food buffet (breakfast and lunch) pre-COVID (which was ALL delicious) but they had to change their offerings due to COVID. I was pleased to see that they still have their sandwiches, but what I really liked is that they now offer pre-made Korean platters and rice bowls.I decided to try the Spicy Dwaegi (Pork) Bulgogi and it did not disappoint! You get SO much food in one platter. Mine came with rice, bulgogi, steamed veggies, 2 pieces of shrimp that come with a creamy spicy sauce,, 2 chicken dumplings, grilled veggies, jap chae, an egg omelette, and kimchi/radish. Everything was super fresh and delicious. They also have other flavors (Salmon and Chicken Katsu platters among others) and Chicken rice bowls. The staff is really nice too and shout-out to Kookie, the owner! I will definitely be back to try the rice bowls and other platters.If you are in the Logan Circle area, you should definitely check Cornerstone out!

Tried this for the first time doing a pickup order. Will certainly come back and try some more things. One thing that really stuck out was that all the produce seemed fresh and tasted great -- even the tomatoes in September. Plus the portions were generous. Steamed dumplings: yummy, well seasoned, and a reasonable portion for the price. "Korean Tacos": Tried both the chicken and beef bulgogi tacos. The beef was really good, the chicken less so. The tacos themselves had more Latin ingredients than Korean, so I don't know the toppings did much with the meats (lettuce, cilantro, onion, salsa verde, shredded cheese). I appreciated the grilled tortillas. Mostly the tacos made me want to try other beef dishes that are less fusion-y. Maybe one of the bento boxes. Teriyaki Chicken kup-bop: An enormous portion of food, especially for the price. Again, kind of an unusual mashup of ingredients for my palette (chicken teriyaki, rice, kale, tomatoes, japchae, bean sprouts, black beans, and pickled radish). Not sure it was a coherent flavor profile, but everything was tasty and this would certainly be a good way to satisfy a big appetite.

Absolutely amazing food here, especially for the price! The bentos are around $11-$13 and they give you SO MUCH FOOD! The salmon is delicious and tastes super fresh. The teriyaki sauce is one of the best I've tried.We came on a Wednesday morning and the owners were super sweet, even though we had to wait a little longer than usual (only 20 minutes though). She offered us tea or coffee! The next week we came, she saw we brought friends so she gave us a couple extra wings. During this scary time, I try to support as much local business as I can. Coming from a college student, I can tell you this place is 100% worth your time and money.

Had a blugogi kup-bop for my lunch and got really pleased with it. Blugogi on top, lettuce, tomato, korean sweet radish, beansprouts and some black beans underneath, and rice at the bottom. Oh and chopped korean traditional noodle in it too. The portion is more than enough for my appetite, nutrion is well balanced, and the best part is that it's just delicious. Loved it. A little cafe is also there. I had an iced mocha. :) liked it.

I went into the Cornerstone Cafe to make a purchase where the cashier ignored my presence in the store. She was more interested in talking to a person who apparently was not making a purchase. She did not acknowledge me to ask if I wanted to make a purchase or not. Very disappointed in the customer service.i

The best lunch counter cafe in downtown DC. The sandwiches and salad are excellent, and generous portions but still affordable--a hard combination to find these days!

First confession, I live around the corner from this place and often stop here on the way to work when I'm in a rush and haven't cooked breakfast. This is a neighborhood gem where the owners take time to get to know their regulars and are very friendly to others who eat there. I've patronized them for years and have never been disappointed. The owners are a friendly couple who work to keep things going smoothly. I've only seen the chef/cook once, the guy who produces outstanding dishes for the hot bar (pre-COVID), but he knows how to season food well, and it's never over-salted. This was one of the few delis that survived COVID closures and were quick to adjust their menu and delivery services to give the folks who still had to work from their offices, a good place to get lunch. Plus it is within walking distance of several hotels, so it's convenient for tourists who want something other than hotel food or chain fast-food fare. The two guys who work at the grill are phenomenal. They've worked here for several years. They have this low-key demeanor and are really good at making delicious sandwiches whether hot or cold. Each week as I stop by, I discover that they constantly add to the menu, so the Korean bowls, the fresh Cobb and Caesar salads, and the bento boxes (different combos) were new additions that I tried and enjoyed.If they ever return to the hot bar, please try their crab-stuffed salmon. It is always served on Fridays and is delicious and moist.

Food was great. HUGE grilled chicken sandwich and freshly made fries. Prices were good and service was quick- just a short wait for food and to pay.
