I like this cafe and forget about all the fantastic choices up this way in Mount Washington. I spend plenty of time in Mt. Washington Village and the surrounding area – I should come up here more. The Corner Pantry is in the Lake-Falls Village, which doesn’t exactly feel like a spot for this lovable cafe.
The minute you walk in, there is a little bit of a trendy vibe – with the subway tiles and the chalkboard. But, the menu is delightful and extensive.
I was really hoping for a breakfast sammich, but they only serve those till 11am; you can still grab a muffin or pastry, but I was hungrier than that. Luckily, there are a ton of choices for lunch – including a build your own salad bar and a bunch of items that change regularly on “the counter” that you pay for by the pound. They can also make your favorite coffee beverage if you need a morning or afternoon pick me up – be sure to ask for a drink loyalty card.
I went for the Turkey Sarnie (which they tell ya is British for Sandwhich). It comes all wrapped up and served in a paper bag.
Two huge slices of focaccia that are topped with turkey, cheddar, tomato and avocado salsa, and charred jalapeño aioli. With my first bite, I wasn’t sure I liked it – it had a funny flavor – I think it was the charred jalapeño. But after bite two, the flavors really blended together and I was sad when I finished it. They also give you a small little bag of salt and vinegar chips; I love fresh kettle cooked chips!
So… two more things.
How do you not love a place that has a pup dog wearing a crown stamped on the bag? Too cute.
And even better than that? They have a sandwich made with waffles as the bread, that they smother with basil mayo, and layer with tons of smoked bacon, roast chicken, julienned romaine and tomato.
