The Corner Store

I had a terrible experience here. Customer service was awful. When you are spending a reasonable amount for breakfast you at least expect decent service. Very disappointing. The food and presentation wasn't very impressive. Aside from this when we asked for eggs to be placed aside the toast and for crispy bacon, the cook blatantly refused ( as though she was offended that we would ask for anything other than what she served up) and said that for customers who hadn't been here before she only plated the dish the way she always does "for the aesthetics" of her presentation. This was yelled out in a very demeaning manner in front of all other customers. She caused a huge fuss over something that should have been a simple request. Regardless of the fact that I had been there prior with my boyfriend, the two people I brought with me were quite embarrassed. None of us will be returning to this establishment in the future.

Great Place, A Melbourne, Brunswick Rd, style providore cafe, in Semaphore. The Corner Store is a very unique, fascinating, place, with an eclectic mix of French meets early Australian. This place is full of character with a varied assortment of features, from a brilliant Orange coffee machine, that matches the feature wall, a bike on the fridge, assortment of wooden crates, white muslin hung from the ceiling, to assorted table and chairs. On one side of the counter a chilled cabinet, with a range of tempting cheeses, and meats. On the other side of the counter a great array of lovingly prepared, cakes, biscuits, fresh salads. pies and tarts. The menu is interesting and varied, we chose from the breakfast menu, simple breakfast; black Pig bacon-eggs on sourdough, very tasty and satisfying. From the lunch menu "Plat du Jour", as the menu read, "so you don't like Lentil Pie, try ours and start a love affair." TRUE!. We finished with two latte coffee's in a large bowl, smooth, good crema, with fresh selected milk, with a very pleasant lingering after taste, Cirelli coffee, pm blend, this is from a local roast, really fresh. Up there with the best. This providore- Cafe ticks all the boxes, ask any local. This long time family owned business, where experience shows, will bring us back.
