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. The counter serves hot food, sandwiches, and pastries, with an almond croissant a recurring order alongside sourdough and gelato. A chocolate salted caramel cake joins the case after 3pm on weekdays and after 12 on weekends. The kitchen sits in view of the seating area, with an upstairs vantage onto it. Service runs on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. The shop pairs its cafe counter with pantry items and grocery stock, letting customers pick up staples alongside a coffee or a plate from the counter.

Customer Review Summary
The almond croissant draws the most attention, described as perfectly laminated and flaky with rich frangipane, though one reviewer wished for a bit more filling on top. Close behind is the chocolate salted caramel cake, praised for its balanced dark chocolate and whipped salted caramel filling, though it's only served after certain hours and one visitor queued about 30 minutes and heard staff were already running low on slices. Several also mention the smoked salmon bagel, roasted aubergine, fennel salad, and fresh pastries alongside consistently good coffee. Service is repeatedly called friendly and quick even when busy. The recurring caveat is price, with reviewers calling the grocery items and cafe fare pricey for what's delivered, and one noting scrambled eggs were just okay and tea tasted overwhelmingly of lemon. Ambiance is called modern and trendy, with one visitor enjoying the view into the upstairs kitchen while sitting outside on a sunny day.

“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.”
