Kornerstone Cafe & Juice Bar East Aurora

Food was great and really reasonably priced compared to what is expected right now. Coffee was meh. Is it a cold brew or just iced coffee?
The place is super cute but the layout is so weird. Like the coffee bar (cream and sugar) is hidden behind the staircase. The register is right when you walk In the door so the long line of people had no where to stand even though the relatively large seating area was completely empty.

Great coffee, I always bring home a bag of their beans.

It’s bright and cozy inside, with a lot of light.

I like that there are vegan and gluten-free options. The breakfast sandwich was a little bland. Overall nice cafe.

Large hard space that gets very loud. Coffee was ok, roasted too dark for me. Not any options on that account, dark or darker. Did not have any food but what I saw looked good. Service was very nice.

With three independent cafes (and an amazing bakery) within—maybe—four blocks, I’m shocked this place is still in business.

The food is… whatever. Things you could make at home for pennies at home (except for the items they buy from other places).

The coffee is, for brevity’s sake, not good.

I’ve been there about six or seven times (gluten for punishment?), and the only coffee order they got right was the 16oz with room for cream.

I don’t order off the wall drinks; americanos, lattes with extra foam… so I’m not sure if the ineptitude is part and parcel with the aggressively rude attitudes of the people working there; but whoever’s in charge of training needs a seminar or two.

I’m not sure why I’m giving Kornerstone two stars. One just seems mean.

Generally speaking, my experience here is usually good. However every so often there are some inconsistencies with what I order. For example, one weekend I order a waffle with lots of vegan coconut whipped cream and I get a beautiful tasty waffle covered in the whipped cream (see the picture below). Then on a different weekend, I order the same thing and receive a less than beautiful tasty waffle that is not covered in the whipped cream and instead they put the whipped cream in 3 very small containers and the whipped cream is watery and not whipped. Aside from my experience with the waffles, pre-pandemic I loved their drinks (mainly their soy mocha, lemon drop, cloud 9) but during the pandemic and even now I find the flavor of some of their drinks to be inconsistent. I will say that my experience with their lemon ginger turmeric shot has been consistently good! So, for the price of the items, for their to be inconsistencies is a bit disheartening and a waste of hard earned money.

My daughter is a competitive runner and I am doing my best to get healthy, so we both love the healthy, tasty food, cold pressed juice, and other beverage options at Kornerstone. I also was so impressed with the friendly staff's willingness to help me keep my pup cool when we ran out of water on a walk in the neighborhood recently!
Thanks again!

The best smoothies !!😋😋I like that you know the exact ingredients that are in each one.

Had the pleasure of dealing with Jamie. She’s extremely humble and friendly and knows her coffee. Recommend this place to anyone looking for good coffee!

Delicious, healthy smoothies; fantastic coffee & lattés; and amazing service from the young staff!! I bought a pound of coffee the last time I visited & it was delicious! They also have great breakfast & lunch sandwich selections. I highly recommend it!

Great Vegan options here! So nice to find a place to get good food that's good for you!
