Cornerstone Deli & Cafe Reviews

Weekly lunch group decided to go here, yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised. First time to go there, even though I've been driving past it for years. Menu board was full of many choices that interested me, however I settled on the Thai Curry Chicken Rice Bowl. It was deliciously sweet and spicy, with the vegetables, just cooked to perfection. I look forward to my next visit.

Friendly, good food, week priced. A Columbus staple

This is my go to place. Everything on the menu is good and the staff is so kind. Just wish they had coke products instead of Pepsi!

The chicken pad Thai is absolutely amazing. The spicy tuna roll is great too. They have a huge salad bar and their tuna salad is possibly the best I have ever had. Prices are wonderful. There is plenty of seating. The entire staff is very pleasant and friendly. This place is truly a gem and one of the best things about Clintonville.

Visited Sat afternoon. I'll return with my friends. The bill was fair for the quality of food.

Awesome food!!!! Lots of great options and a large salad selection

Love this place. I variety of items and all good. Never had a bad meal there. Their byo salad is worth every penny. Try the Thai tea. Pics are a teriyaki salmon bowl and the second half or a French dip. Both delicious.

So many options, it's kind of ridiculous. They have bagels, salads, sandwiches, Thai food, sushi, and etc. Big fan of the Philly cheesesteak and the eel sushi (separately)! Great place to have lunch, dinner, meet a friend, have a cup of coffee. I've been coming for years both when I lived on campus and afterward.

Asian fusion, deli and salad bar for some of the most affordable prices in town. A giant parking lot taboot; needless to say I come here constantly.

Salmon teriyaki and their sushi see some of my favorites.

How does this place even exist? Huge variety of quality food at low prices? Everything from homemade bagels to sushi and rice bowls? Super friendly staff? What a gem. Now that we ve found out about it we go 1-3 times a week.

This place rocks! has a very weirdly diverse menu ranging from breakfast sandwiches to sushi and curry. One of my favorite lunch spots

Great little spot. Dependable good food. Wide variety menu with deli, sushi, salad, stir fry, etc.

Amazing food, great variety. Seating area has a nice view of High street. Try their salad! The Ginger Miso dressing is delicious.

Happy customer for years, love the variety and affordability.

Food is ok. Basically small mom and pop sandwich shop that also serves Chinese food. Cramped seating area, but the service is good. Don't have to wait long for your food.

Salad bar is 100, tofu options, and bagels. What more could you need?

Always go for the salads. The build your own aspect is great when you are feeling picky about the contents of your salad.

Friendly neighborhood lunch spot with a diverse menu.

Always have a good experience here. I've tried the salads, Lox bagel, hot sandwiches and fries and it's always consistently good.

Amazing food and a wide variety of types they offer

Great food for anyone's taste with American and Asian dishes. Great sushi

This was such a nice place...great breakfast, others had lunch and it was all delicious!

It just has to be the staff. What a superb group of guys and gals. The owners of the store meet you with smiles and tofu. Giving you quick service or a friendly talk about the weather.

Great place for coffee or a quick bite to eat. Very friendly service too.

Best Deli in town. Lots of options, I've been going here for over 5 years.

Delicious food! Pleased both the meat eaters and the vegan in the group.

What a gem. All the food I ever gotten here has been high quality and you can't beat those prices. Specially for the sushi, hard to find anywhere else in town that would offer good quality sushi cheap enough that two people can have dinner for under $20 bucks! Service is always top notch as well.

This place is pretty cool - you can get coffee, breakfast, sushi, bubble tea, and more all in one place. I haven't had it all but the bubble tea and sandwiches are both good.

Cornerstone Deli and Cafe is a small friendly restaurant in south Clintonville [which is anything south of North Broadway] where I eat whenever I am in the area.

I had eaten there recently [7-16-2018] and had ordered an "Italian sub" sandwich [which I typically order whenever I am there].

However, I had noticed yesterday, while reading their extensive menu that is hand-painted behind the ordering counter [as well as printed on laminated menus that customers may study more closely if they wish], that their menu includes a large variety of "rice bowls" that one would typically not expect to find in that type of restaurant.

If their north dining room is crowded, Cornerstone Deli and Cafe has a south dining room [with fewer decorations on the walls] that is accessible via a hallway that connects what I am certain had previously been two separate businesses. The south dining room is also the route to the bathroom.

New to the area. Passed this place several times, today, I made time and went in! (They have online ordering also). I was Craving a good club or blt. They nailed it on the head. Fresh produce, crispy bacon. It was a surprise to see the sushi and tempura bowls.... Also, prices are totally reasonable; Service was great, polite and helpful! Will Totally Return

Since when did the sandwiches shrink down to a pathetic size, very much disappointed! I also order the chicken stir fry, it was terrible.

THEY HAVE THE MOST DELICIOUS SALADS AND DRESSINGS. YUM

Always a good place to get a bite. Great omelettes sandwhiches soup. Lets talk their salad bar! What you always want of one and great price good variety! Very popular so you know the ingredients are getting rotated quickly and they clean up after themselves (cross contamination no worries)!

AND one of the better asian quick bites too! Love their general tsos, sushi, miso soup!

Good seating, crimson cup coffee, fancy asian drinks (thai tea and smoothies) and a desert case in front for ice cream sandwhiches and such.

Soda machine, bottled drinks too.

Mostly 4 tops with some 6 and 2s. Bathrooms are ok.

Great example of those places that are not fancy inside, no frills, no nonsense; but the quality of the food at a very reasonable price is the draw. It's all about the food! Healthy and eclectic and yummy, at tremendous value.

Great for sandwiches or sushi or whatever else is on the menu!

I go here to get my roast beef sandwich which you can get made to order.What spring mix , Swiss cheese, tomato and lite mayo they got you covered.You would think having individual choices in Columbus,Oh would be a no-brainer ,you would think that .

Food here is wonderful and its a great local atmosphere to hang out in.

Great food! You can get almost anything your heart desires. Hot sandwich, cold sandwich, wrap, rice bowl, sushi... whatever you want. The salad bar though... my god. I swear they sprinkle fairy dust or unicorn magic on the food. I don't understand how it can taste so good!

Best salads in town! We go across town just to get one!

A varied, very reasonably priced menu. Service is fast, food is pretty good

Great spot for a fresh bagel slathered in (maybe too much) cream cheese!

Great place to stop for breakfast and lunch. Has a good variety of breakfast sandwiches, cold sandwiches, hot sandwiches, rice bowl meals, fish bowl meals, and a great salad bar.

Great salad bar, good sandwiches and bagels. Biggest " small salad" I've ever seen.

My girlfriend and I have been going to the Cornerstone for 11 years. It's a great little place.

Who doesn't love the Cornerstone Deli? Breakfast, lunch, dinner, bagels, amazing Asian bowls. I can't imagine Clintonville without it.

Really flavorful and healthy food, bubble and Thai tea, and free Wi-Fi. Two bathrooms. Staff is extra sweet and it has a neighborhood coffee shop feel. Great place to study or a casual meal. Has event listings in a bookcase on the left side. Jules took care of me last, she was really friendly and made my day!

Salad bar is fantastic. Great vegan and vegetarian options.

Something for everyone on the worldly cusined menu. Iced tea was so good. Nice atmosphere, love coming here while in Clintonville

Quirky, weird little cafe/Asian restaurant. Cool place.

Last time I was here, I waited a long time for food that quite honestly wasn't that good. I ordered a bagel burger, and a pizza burger, and both were very bland and did not taste that fresh. The bagels tasted like stale grocery store bagels (wouldn't be surprised if they were) and the burger wasn't seasoned at all. The pizza burger was ok, but the marinara sauce was almost certainly canned. If you're going to a deli, go to one that actually makes their own food.

The spicy tuna rice bowl is amazing, and at a great price too!

Delicious sandwich! Very reasonable prices! I will be back!

In my opinion, best pad thai in Columbus. I love that i can get a Reuben and a sushi roll and both be good quality AND affordable.

I love there salads, always fresh veggies, blts are good too. My grandson likes there kids pizza bagel meals gets one everytime we go there

The cool turkey wrap is great - I like it with avocado instead of sprouts. The sushi rice bowls are also very good. Cornerstone deli has a nice seated area for reading or studying. I wish their coffee was slightly better, but it's still good coffee.

Love this place! Great owners...great staff...great food!!! Try this place, if you haven't, already!!!

Simple + Fresh = delicious! Very affordable! Try their beautifully marinated tofu in your salad. Who needs chicken breast when you can enjoy this great tasting tofu!!

Staff treated us so nice. The place has a good feel to it. Atmosphere and food reminds me of Virginia Beach.

Been coming here for a decade and it's been great every time. Big variety of foods, all I've tried have been good. I often get the half sandwich, side salad. Great prices

Casual dining, great healthy choices, delivery available. Just love the food!

I've been coming here for about a year and have yet had a bad or less than great experience. The food is always fresh and flavorful and is super affordable!
