Corner Bakery Cafe is celebrating the grand reopening of its Capitol Hill location at 500 North Capitol St., N.W.on Monday, July 22, bringing back its beloved pastries, gourmet sandwiches, savory soups, fresh salads and more from its prime spot near Union Station and Columbus Circle.
Celebrations begin bright and early at 6 a.m. – with Corner Bakery offering the first 100 guests in line a branded travel tumbler, along with FREE coffee refills for a year. As a bonus, guests can also enter two drawings: one for a chance to win FREE paninis for a year, and another for a Catering Corner Classic Order for their next event. In addition to the festivities, there will be a traditional ribbon-cutting and delicious Cinnamon Creme Cake-cutting ceremony at 2 p.m.
“This reopening marks a significant milestone,” said Erin Hasselgren, president of Corner Bakery Cafe. “Washington D.C. has always been a vital market for us, and returning to Capitol Hill is a testament to the renewed strength of our brand. We are thrilled to reconnect with both new and familiar faces at this iconic location.”
