Customer Reviews

This our weekly breakfast spot. There are a LOT of regulars. We hit this place every Sunday, and the food is good, the prices fair, and the coffee is my favorite. Service is always friendly, you might have to wait a bit when they are busy, but that's because they are cooking your food up fresh. Take out or eat in, this place is a great place to go. 10/10 would recommend.

Was in Elmira, NY visiting my cousin and we wanted breakfast. Don who lives in the area suggested this place and it was the perfect choice for our needs. Service was a little slow, however I'm looking at it from a city living perspective. The menu is simple and the food was delicious. I tried Buckwheat pancakes for the first time and they were phenomenal. I can't remember what I had, not that it wasn't good it's because I smoke weed so my memory is bad, however I remember it being quite delicious 😋. The staff was friendly and the place has very simple decor. I'm sure I will never go back(distance and I hate NY), however it will always be a pleasant memory of my Vacation with my mother for my cousins retirement, anniversary and birthday party!

This is the perfect local coffee shop. The food is good, the prices can't be beat. There's no "franchise" feel or fancy dishes. The place has definitely got an abundance of character. The staff is always friendly and outgoing. There's always laughter to be heard and an upbeat attitude. Anderson's Cozy Corner is absolutely a homegrown treasure

I’m a sucker for barstool diners. Friendly staff. Building is old. Bathroom is old but clean enough. Obviously a small town diner. Everone knows everyone. Wish it was closer to home. I would be a repeat customer. Food was good.

We enjoy our weekly (at least) visits to "the corner" as we call it. Good food at reasonable prices. Nice staff! Edit: added a photo. We still enjoy regular visits to the corner. Very affordable for most anyone.
