Found this place on Yelp today while waiting for my Dad's car to be ready and it surpassed my expectations. The lady operating the cashier (and maybe the owner/GM?) had an air about her that was infectiously positive. Maybe it was the fact that she sang every word in response to our order (she also has a great voice, which def helps; if I sang at work I think the public response would be altogether different) or her attentiveness to every group of customers in (and seated outside on the patio) of her cafe. But in any event, it was a nice refrain from a regular, low energy interaction you typically have at a lunch spot. We ordered the Chicken Philly and the Chicken Salad Sandwich (today's special) on rye. My chicken Philly was well cooked and seasoned and accompanied by delicious and fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and onions. The chicken salad was fresh and sandwiched between two perfectly toasted pieces of the bread. If I had a complaint, it would be that the bread was a bit soft (for a hoagie, I prefer a hard roll). The Chicken Philly was so good I ordered a Korean Chicken sandwich and fries just to try another dish. The chicken was perfectly seasoned/breaded - so crispy on the outside but juicy and tender on the inside - and topped with a Korean slaw and sweet Korean sauce. I liked the Chicken Philly better but both were delicious and would be a welcome lunch order on most days. I look forward to returning to try more of the menu and to maybe join in on the singing this time!

Very friendly workers and great customer service. I have never been to a café where the workers treat you as if they are a 5 star restaurant. I will be visiting for breakfast and lunch from now on.

It's a decent deli for the occasional workday lunch. Ownership changed during the summer of 2015, so some of the earlier problems may have been solved by that. I've only been coming here since spring 2015.Food is good, but I tend to stick to a couple of menu items, so I haven't sampled everything. Prices increased when the new owners took over, but that's to be expected, I guess. Employees behind the counter are usually friendly and helpful.All in all, in a pinch, you could do a lot worse.

I'm a little confused by all of the negative reviews on here. I think if you work in the area cornerstone is the best thing going. The sandwiches are delicious, the service is fast and the people running the place are all extremely nice and friendly. The sandwiches all range in the 7 dollar range which is more than reasonable in my opinion. The breakfast is a great deal if you can make it. Breakfast wraps are extremely filling and only $4 dollars! This is the go to spot for me and my whole office.

On my way out, I noticed an issue of Sports Illustrated available to read. It's from Dec. '12. Makes you wonder if they pay attention to expiration dates the same way? Tasted like it. So awful...

Ordered a Steak n Cheese today, and was offended by what I was served. NASTY, MESSY, and had chewy bits of grizzled fat. One of the worst things I have ever eaten. Never going back.
