"The Corner Bakery is my favorite place to visit in the morning.  All the people there have been more than friendly and helpful.  The coffee is great, the food is fantastic and the atmosphere is awesome!  I believe you will see me back many times."

 

 COMMUNITY GARDEN GRANT

With Americans vacationing less this summer, according to a recent Associated Press poll, Corner Bakery Cafe has introduced its "Stay Local" program, encouraging guests to explore and rediscover summer fun in their very own neighborhoods. 

Doing its own part to "Stay Local", Corner Bakery Cafe is using locally sourced tomatoes in its popular summer item, the BBLT, a double-bacon twist on the classic BLT sandwich with cracked pepper balsamic mayo.  From July 1 to September 7, a portion of the proceeds from every BBLT sandwich sold will go toward Corner Bakery Cafe's newly established Community Garden Grant.  At the end of the summer, donations will be made to 15 community gardens in Corner Bakery Cafe neighborhoods for the tools necessary to cultivate not only fresh vegetables, but also a sense of community and accomplishment.

The following gardens were chosen as recipients of the Community Garden Grant for their admirable mission of cultivating fresh, local produce every day:

Cambodian Seniors Garden Project - Los Angeles, CA
El Sereno Community Garden - Los Angeles, CA
Gary Comer Youth Center Community Garden - Chicago, IL
Green Youth Farm - Glencoe, IL
Las Flores Community Garden - Thousand Oaks, CA
