Hours Update:

It’s been a long time coming! We’re shifting our hours of operation as of Monday October 5th, here’s some details:

•Opening 30 minutes earlier at 9am every day so there’s more time for coffee and breakfast! Plus, staying open an hour later Thursdays-Saturdays means more time for beers wooohoo!

•Continuing to serve the breakfast menu until 11am during the week, and until 2pm on the weekend (Saturday and Sunday). The lunch/dinner menu will still be offered from 11 onwards during the week, and after 2:30 on the weekend.

•We will offer a “late night” menu of apps and snacks from 8:30pm-9:30pm on our later days when we often host events (Thursday, Friday, Saturday).

•There are some exceptions to these hours for recurring events (such as Jazz Jam or On The Page) that we will stay open for on evenings we’d otherwise be closed. Each of these will be specified on our monthly events posts.

•These adjustments allow us to stay open 7 days a week while prioritizing peak times. Our hope is to remain accessible for customers and support the awesome events we love to host. With infrastructure changes downtown and within the industry, adjusting hours is supportive for our staff and necessary for business.

We appreciate all the love as we navigate these changing times!

Exciting October events and new seasonal drinks coming soon…

Pricing Updates:
We want to be transparent and give you all a heads up that most of the prices on our lunch & dinner menu are slightly increasing as of Wednesday, September 9th!

We have delayed implementing these updates, but with costs of goods and operating steadily increasing, it’s a change we need to make to continue serving this awesome community for a long time comin’.

Here are the facts:

The price of most items has gone up $0.50 - $1.00.

We have left a variety of low-cost items unchanged to keep the menu as accessible as possible. (Such as our grilled cheeses, soups, salads and bagels). These items are also popular contributions to our pay-it-forward wall.

While our beverages have not increased in price, similar changes to our breakfast & brunch menu are soon to follow!

*These prices will be updated on our highlights and online menus come Wednesday*

Thanks for your understanding and continued support everyone. Much love from The Cornerstone ❤.
