Corner Bakery Cafe is a U.S. chain of cafes that specialize in pastries, breads, breakfast dishes, gourmet sandwiches, and salads. Corner Bakery Cafe is considered to be a part of the fast casual market segment of the food service industry, offering a somewhat higher quality of food and atmosphere than a typical fast food restaurant, and offering limited table service.
Corner Bakery Cafe is owned by CBC Restaurant Corporation, an affiliate of Il Fornaio (America) Corporation based in Dallas, Texas. It was sold to Il Fornaio in 2005 by Brinker International and founded by Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, a Chicago theme restaurant operator.
Roark Capital Group bought Il Fornaio in 2011.
Corner Bakery's CEO is Mike Hislop and President and COO is Jim Vinz. Mike came on as COO after the sale to CBC Restaurant Corporation. Jim has been with the company in various capacities since 1995 and was promoted to COO in 2005 and President in 2006.
