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 pastries, sandwiches, soups, fresh salads and more from its prime spot near Union Station and Columbus Circle.

We are thrilled to reconnect with both new and familiar faces at this iconic location.”
