About Corner Shop

On 7 Arundel St, Corner Shop is a deli combining a grocery, bakery, cafe, and deli counter in one space along the Thames embankment near Temple Station.

Customer Review Summary

The almond croissant is what reviewers raise most, described as flaky or crispy outside with rich frangipane inside, and one reviewer calls it one of the best they have had. Close behind is the chocolate salted caramel cake, which draws a queue when it goes on sale, with one reviewer praising its light, moist sponge and whipped salted caramel filling. Coffee, a smoked salmon bagel, roasted aubergine, fennel salad, juices and the hot counter food also get praise, and several describe the staff as friendly and the service as good even when busy. The recurring complaint is price. One reviewer says the almond croissant and coffee together come to the pricey end of London, another says the food did not match the cost, and grocery prices are called unreasonable. The same reviewer found the scrambled eggs just okay and the tea overwhelmingly like lemon juice. One reviewer found the atmosphere a bit cool, though they enjoyed seeing into the upstairs kitchen. Free still and sparkling water at tables rounds out the praise.

    “Stopped here for a light lunch on our walk along the side of the Thames. It was busy but we found a table and had great fresh food - selection of hot food served from the counter as well as sandwiches and pastries. Service was excellent despite how busy it was.”

    “The almond croissant was excellent - crispy on the outside, with plenty of frangipane on the inside - and the coffee was very flavoursome. At over £10 for these items, Corner Shop is at the pricey end of the London spectrum. Is it worth it? You decide!”

    “We were here for the chocolate cake, this place is really cozy and brilliant, good to seat outside in sunny day. Sandwiches looked great but we didn’t have it, would try them next time! There are also gelato and sourdough to have!”

    “The café has a modern, trendy vibe, which I really liked. That said, the food didn’t quite match the price. Scrambled eggs were just okay, and the tea tasted overwhelmingly like lemon juice. The grocery prices are even more unreasonable.”
