I drove past Cornerstone Cafe for years on my way to work, but didn't live in the neighborhood. I had (have) a hard time venturing away from my neighborhood since 1. I don't like to drive, 2. I never have money for parking, 3. The first two reasons. And plus I was a Golden Nugget Girl. But when we moved farther south I found myself with no Golden Nugget nearby, since the one on Western/Elston is dark and dingy and the parking lot only holds 4 cars.
Enter into Cornerstone Cafe. It is an anti-hipster hipster's dream. No long waits, no servers wearing non-prescription glasses, no attitude. Everyone in the place, including the manager, is terrific.
The diner is small and triangular, but they get you right in. The help is friendly and quite accommodating. They offered us a high chair and there was a changing table in the women's restroom. In fact, there were quite a number of children in there. They have great specials and really fantastic diner food as well as some other specialities. The mister LOVED his sandwich and though Babycakes still doesn't eat food food, she had fun in the high chair watching everyone.
There is easy parking on Elston Avenue (pay box). They take cash and credit.
