Our hot, made-to-order scramblers, delicious sandwiches, homemade soups, hand-tossed salads, and decadent desserts are made with the freshest ingredients just the way you like it."

The drive-through is for a new restaurant Corner Bakery Cafe and the project includes other improvements to the site:

According to a report by the Milwaukee Business Journal, Wisconsin's first Corner Bakery Cafe opened in 2014 at the Mayfair Collection development in Wauwatosa and another location is in the works at a planned retail and restaurant development in Pleasant Prairie.
