Cornerstone Cafe Coffee - Benson

I'm disappointed that this coffee shop doesn't open until 9 am. I attempted to grab a coffee around 8 am to give it another chance. The first time we visited, during the Mule Days parade, we were met by a bouncer who wouldn't let us use the restroom, even though the place was empty then, unlike earlier when it was packed. My poor child was about to have an accident, and we couldn't cross the parade to get to the porta-potty. I also didn't have my wallet with me to make a purchase, which would have allowed him to use the restroom.

We decided to stop by on a whim for dinner, and my husband and I ended up having a great time! I ordered an iced pumpkin chai and a grilled cheese, while we also indulged in their pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. It was absolutely delicious! The crust had a cookie-like texture and was incredibly flavorful. It wasn’t overly sweet but still satisfied my sweet tooth perfectly. You definitely need to try this place!

This is a fantastic place for breakfast or lunch! The coffee is excellent, and the service is wonderful. The booths were clean, and there’s a charming seating area at the front with a couch if you just want to relax with your coffee. Our lunch was delicious and reasonably priced. I highly recommend the Mediterranean Chicken Pita, especially if you add avocado! We also grabbed an oatmeal raisin cookie to take with us, which is a must-try! It has a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg in it, and I wish we had gotten two!

This was my second visit, and it did not disappoint!! We had a Reuben, excellent, the meat was perfectly sliced and the proportions of meat to kraut to dressing was perfect! We also had a maple bacon waffle and a French toast waffle, both worth ordering again! I had raspberry iced tea, very good and my son had a white chocolate with peppermint frappe. It was wonderful! I highly recommend! We sat outside, as we had our dog with us. Very clean restrooms and friendly staff!

We stopped by this cafe today in Coats for BLT sandwiches. This is such a quaint little shop with pictures lining the walls reflecting the town of Coats 50-70 years ago. The food was delicious and the service was great! We would definitely visit again.
