The Cornerstone Bakery & Cafe

Hands down the best breakfast and lunch place in town!!! Pastries and baked goods are amazing as well as their breads! Friendly tip; get there early before the rush for their great food starts! The line moves quick enough if you wait and believe me the wait is worth it!!! Thanks Cornerstone Bakery!

Gracefully managed a large to-go order. Even if the drive-thru window is not staffed, stay parked there and just call and they will bring your food to you. If you dine in, *follow the signs* and have your order ready when you reach the front of the line!

Service was excellent and employees were friendly. Food was exceptional, I will definitely be returning to this place. EVERYTHING looked delicious. Highly recommend this place

Cornerstone was amazing. The staff was great, very polite, attentive and accommodating to anything you needed. The food was plentiful and just absolutely delicious. The restaurant is very nice and the lighting is perfect, has a feel of having outside (natural) lighting, but it was actually the lighting set up. Very tranquil. It was an awesome choice for our breakfast.

Place is first class, great portion size, great tasting food, fair price. Met the owner Steven and he treated us first class as well as every other guest ! 👍👌🔥👊

It was so delicious. Very friendly staff ladies. Avoid going in the weekends or make a call to reserve a sit. On the weekends takes 1 hour to 1 and half hour of waiting to sit. They would ask your phone number to text you back when your table is ready.

Great restaurant with good food and very child friendly. They had dough for the kids to play with and cool straws for the drinks. My husband and I enjoyed our raisin pecan french toast breakfast. I also got some tasty treats to try from the bakery. Will definitely come back when in Ruidoso.

I suggested Cornerstone for my birthday lunch yesterday with my family - huge mistake! I spent my last day in Ruidoso (and my birthday) waiting for over two hours for food that never came. I had my 3 year old son and 4 month old daughter with me, so waiting is not always easy for us. My parents came in from out of town and I just felt awful that I had suggested this place. We had planned to eat around noon and ended up eating lunch at 3pm somewhere else.

Always a wonderful experience. YES, there is usually a wait to get in. However, it is worth it to get some mimosas, bagels and loks, eggs Benedict, traditional breakfast and lunch, coffee, and anything else that may fill the hidden, fancy British aristocrat within all of you reading this.
Plus, let me say, their Pinon coffee is just, wow. The level of inappropriate I would do with that coffee would get me demonitized on Onlyfans.
Come enjoy Cornerstone, its worth the wait.

We had a wonderful first experience on New Years Day 2022. Sheila greeted us and was so friendly and engaging while we ordered. Ordering was a bit tricky but Sheila helped us figure it out. She later came to check on us while we enjoyed our breakfast and coffee out on the heated patio. The Placitas Platter was enough for both of us to share and it was great. Overall we would certainly recommend it and will be back on our next visit to Ruidoso.
