This is my main spot and the food is delicious. You can’t really go wrong with a Corner 5 Cafe coffee or meal. If you are passing through Asquith or live locally, give them a try as they have really nice food. My favourite is the French toast. But the only problem is that I cannot eat it every day

The cafe has improved since I last visited. I think they are under new management. I ordered the eggs benedict with salmon, a mocha coffee and a fresh orange juice. For over $30 the serving size of the eggs benedict could have been bigger and there probably should have been a second slice of toast. Although it was served quickly and with a smile and was delicious. The coffee was also very good

Sunny & cosy, friendly & helpful staff and above all great food! We ordered the French toast and baked eggs. Juice was freshly squeezed and you can't go wrong with Campos coffee :) Everything was delicious and very well presented. Will visit again

It’s a great little cafe. The friendly service, and the very fresh yummy food. It is so nice sitting inside with the air conditioning over sumner. The owner helped me cater a platter of wraps for a last minute lunch for my managers- fresh fully loaded wraps were so filling, full of goodness and a great selection. Best vegetarian option I have seen for awhile too with the halloumi and veggies.
